Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives and linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces.

NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar.

The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).

The Maryland wine mogul who is staking his fortune on reaching Capitol Hill David Trone broke a record for self-funding his first Congressional bid in 2016. Now he's running again and support for Israel is etched firmly into his platform

In fact, David Trone is on the record against the very Obama-era deal meant to ensure Iran never developed a nuclear weapon: the JCPOA.

“I would have voted against the deal” he said in a 2018 interview.

This isn’t the leadership we need.

We had a deal with Iran to avoid nuclear proliferation—Trump tore it up.

If the US-Israel attack on Iran was for deterrence, why’d they hit a girl’s elementary school, killing 148?

Yes, only Congress can authorize war. But Delaney misses the point: we need to fund schools, not murder kids abroad.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

The documents, shared in Walberg's letter, include text messages between former NU President Michael Schill and mega donor Michael Sacks

Sacks: "I know Biss well. If the wind blows the wrong way he will throw you under the bus. No hesitation. Jan [Schakowsky] too."

It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words.

If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?

How Democratic candidate and influencer Kat Abughazaleh is taking on America's rising far right The Gen Z digital creator running for Congress says her fellow Democrats misread the moment in 2024. Now she’s trying to correct it.

Talked with @advocate.com about our campaign, why I’m running, and how transphobia and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment are part of the foundation of Trump’s fascist regime.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Jersey, we all know it: it’s way too hard for families to make ends meet. We deserve healthcare, education, and housing – not bombs, masked agents, and budget cuts. Donald Trump is attacking us. I'm Dr. Adam Hamawy, and I'm running for US Congress to fight back.

Kat, this is a era defining ad. Innovative, modern, and likely going to be copied several times over. Whomever directed and produced this needs to submit it to whatever Emmys exist for commercials. It's that good.

Kat Abughazaleh Thinks Campaign Funds Should Help Feed People Kat Abughazaleh, an activist running for Congress in Illinois, turned her campaign office into a mutual aid hub.

When I launched my campaign, I said I wanted to do politics differently… and we’re actually doing it.

There is a classic Chicago “TARGET: RATS” poster stapled to a wooden telephone pole. It’s a yellow poster with rats in red crosshairs and instructs residents to “help to eliminate the rat problem in this area”. Next to it, I’m holding one of our campaign posters which is in a similar style.

At the top is “WARNING” in red text above a red circle with a line through it depicting an ICE agent. A square next to it reads, “ICE OUT OF ILLINOIS”. The words in the box at the bottom of the poster read, “THIS IS THE REAL THREAT FACING OUR COMMUNITY. WHAT IF WE STOOD UP FOR FAMILIES INSTEAD OF TEARING THEM APART? KAT WILL FIGHT FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM.”

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two posters.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
