An American Jewish woman living in Barcelona reached out to me, saying that she and her wife were denied entry last night to a thermal bath, reportedly because they are Jewish. She documented the exchange on video and filed a report with the Mossos d’Esquadra afterwards. What's even more heartbreaking is how bystanders chose to stay silent during the exchange. Their lack of action only enabled what seemed to be a moment void of humanity. Shame on all of them.




💥NEW: CNN’s Michael Smerconish *SLAMS* Graham Platner over Nazi tattoo💥 “He didn’t cover it until October of 2025 — 18 years after getting it — and only when it became a political problem.” “Think about that for a moment. 18 years of getting out of the shower, 18 years of looking into the mirror — and seeing the Totenkopf.” “That’s not a drunken mistake in Croatia — that’s a daily choice sustained for nearly two decades.”

I agree with @ChrisVanHollen. The status quo on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is unacceptable. Netanyahu’s government is burying the two-state solution with U.S.-funded weapons and a blank check. The next Democratic President should recognize a State of Palestine and stop providing offensive weapons to Israel until Israel agrees to a plan to end the occupation.
