Proud to stand with my colleague Rep. Erika Uyterhoeven at the Students Against Genocide Encampment at MIT this afternoon. Thank you to MIT Coalition Against Apartheid and MIT Jews for Ceasefire, et al. for organizing a peaceful and inclusive camp, and thanks to everyone in our community who showed up in solidarity!

Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.

NYT got a Pulitzer for international reporting after censoring its coverage of Gaza and whitewashing Israel’s crimes. It’s hard to tell what is parody anymore.

As Israel prepares to invade and ravage Rafah, partly in the name of freeing the hostages, we need to talk about... the hostages. We do. The truth about the hostages. Three things they don't tell you about the hostages.

After previously erecting walls around the encampment, the police have set up a checkpoint at the only entrance. Several protesters remain inside — and over 1,000 protestors are gathering outside the gates in solidarity and to bear witness, along with several counter-protesters.

Shame on MIT Pres. Kornbluth for ordering the clearance of the peaceful Scientists Against Genocide Encampment. The State Police SERT team is moving in, as drones and helicopters fly overhead and several students remain in the camp, risking arrest, suspension and loss of housing.

Today was a “resounding victory” for the Students Against Genocide Encampment at MIT. Some Zionists and pro-Israeli counter-protestors showed up and demanded a violent police crackdown — but as the sun sets on Kresge Lawn, the camp is still standing and peace has prevailed.

We thank Northeastern student Grace Sanford for being a grain of reason in a sandstorm of misinformation, stirred up by Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧.

In the face of baseless accusations we'll be like Grace, and 'keep raising our voices peacefully.'

“Dissent must never lead to disorder” - President Biden.

From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:

Thank you to Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Jim McGovern, and 52 other representatives for calling on the Biden administration to prevent the imminent attack by Israel on Rafah. It's time for President Biden to exert the power and influence he has to act and protect Palestinian lives

Over a million Palestinians are displaced & sheltering in Rafah. Over 35,000 have been killed.

An invasion by the Israeli military would cause a horrific humanitarian catastrophe.
