Café con tu amiga la socialista. Entre sorbo y sorbo, se queja: —Me mudo de piso. He pedido presupuesto a empresas de mudanzas y son unos ladrones. ¡700€! Hace una pausa, triunfal: —He hablado con el conserje. Me manda a dos chicos sin papeles que hacen chapuzas. —¿Y cuánto les vas a pagar? —pregunto. —Unos 100€ a cada uno. Me sale tirado. Y oye, les hago un favor, esa gente necesita el dinero desesperadamente. La miro a los ojos. —O sea: se te llena la boca sobre derechos laborales y convenios, pero cuando te toca pagar… contratas en B, por debajo del salario mínimo, a gente vulnerable para ahorrarte dinero. Se le tensa la mandíbula. —¡No es lo mismo! Yo no soy una multinacional explotadora. Soy una ciudadana de a pie. El sistema está roto, no es mi culpa. —No eres Amazon, no. Pero en cuanto te tocan el bolsillo, te comportas igual que lo que dices odiar. Tu solidaridad termina justo donde empieza tu cuenta bancaria. Se levanta, ofendida: —Eres una facha. No entiendes nada. Se va antes de que llegue la cuenta. La pago yo. Por la tarde, sube una foto a Instagram: selfie con cajas, texto sobre la gentrificación y “las injusticias del mercado”. La superioridad moral es el deporte favorito de quienes nunca pagan el precio de sus ideales. Defender a los oprimidos con el dinero de los demás es barato. La verdadera ética no se ve en una pancarta ni en un tuit, se ve en cuánto pagas a quien está por debajo de ti cuando nadie te aplaude. Cuando les enseñas el espejo, no corrigen su incoherencia: te atacan a ti. Porque no les duele la injusticia, les duele dejar de verse como salvadores.

@JeremyBenAmi J street being J street. Pathetic

It’s encouraging to see a growing number of senators recognize that unconditional US military support for Israel is no longer tenable in light of the Netanyahu government’s policies. The work now is to translate that shift into action: alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stopping violence on the West Bank and pursuing paths to end the ongoing fighting across the region.

@PattyMurray We will remember

Tonight I voted YES for two arms sales resolutions to block the sale of certain weapons to Israel. I will not tolerate Netanyahu's reckless disregard for human life and human rights. My full statement: murray.senate.gov/senator-murray…

@SenatorSlotkin We will remember

Today, I voted to block the provision of U.S. military assistance to Israel: 1,000-pound so-called ‘dumb’ bombs and military bulldozers. In the future, I will continue to assess U.S.-funded offensive weapons to Israel on a case-by-case basis, and I will continue to support sending Israel much-needed defensive weapons, like Iron Dome. I have struggled with these Joint Resolutions of Disapproval as much as any vote since I joined Congress. I represent a state with a large Arab and Muslim population and a large Jewish population. And over these last two-plus years, few issues have been as raw, painful, and personal as this one. Throughout that time, I have worked hard to call balls and strikes based on my experience and the facts on the ground, even when some are reluctant to consider new information. My entire life, I have been -- and continue to be -- a strong supporter of a Jewish and democratic State of Israel. The people of Israel, like all people throughout the region, deserve long-term security and peace. But being pro-Israel today is not about simply supporting the political or military agenda of Prime Minister Netanyahu, just like being pro-American should not be equated with loyalty to President Trump. This is a complex truth that many of us who support Israel hold, and it applies to my own patriotism and government as well. I can support the security of a country without supporting the specific policies of any one political party or leader. And if Israelis can take part in rigorous debate and protests of their own government’s policies, Americans supportive of Israel can do the same thing. I have no love lost for the Iranian regime or their proxy groups like Hezbollah. I know firsthand from three tours in Iraq alongside our military how Iran is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and thousands more civilians in the Middle East. But President Trump committed the U.S. to a war of choice against Iran, alongside Israel, with no evidence of an imminent threat, no clear objectives, and without Congressional approval. Seven weeks in, he has yet to provide a strategy for this war or a clear path to get out of it. So just as I am against more U.S.-funded weapons to Israel today, I am also deeply skeptical of more U.S. funding for the Iran war, which reportedly could be anywhere between $50 to $200 billion, on top of $1 trillion provided to the Pentagon last year. Every American should be invested in the U.S. ending this war with the least possible loss of blood and treasure. It is my hope that we can get a comprehensive and durable ceasefire as soon as possible.

@RepYassAnsari @RepRaskin You guys are shameless it’s fucking amazing the level of hypocrisy. WOW

I'm adding my name to @RepRaskin's bill that will establish a commission to review Trump's staggering cognitive decline. For months, I've been consistent in calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, and will continue to demand the cabinet act to save our country from a deranged, mentally unstable authoritarian.

@RasmusJarlov @willchamberlain @EylonALevy Europe vote against Israel in the UN constantly. Very supportive

@willchamberlain @EylonALevy Does Europe sanction Israel like we sanction Fussia? Does send weapons for trillions of euros to Israels enemies? You are being ridiculous

I would not seek to provoke and alienate Europe if I were Israel. Europe has been very tolerant and supportive of Israel. But if Netanyahu wants to have a fight with Europe and be left with only the Trump government as their friends, this kind of rhetoric can surely achieve it.

@EricDinowitzNYC Sorry for your loss💔 May his Memory be a Blessing

Today we buried our beloved Eliot Engel. I was lucky to call him Daddy Eliot. Read my full statement below.

@JeremyBenAmi Fuck J street

J Street position on aid to Israel: This moment demands a reset. The U.S. should end unconditional financial military subsidies to Israel and to move towards a relationship where we treat Israel like any other ally. J Street supports: (1) Phasing out taxpayer-funded military aid when the current agreement ends in 2028. (2) Ensuring Israel can defend itself, by selling – but not subsidizing with U.S. taxpayer dollars – the weapons it needs, including Iron Dome. (3) Enforcing U.S. law on how American arms are used, including withholding certain weapons when those laws are violated. Why now? The current U.S. aid agreement expires in 2028. This is the moment to chart a smarter path forward. At the same time, after the devastation in Gaza and ongoing suffering in the West Bank, it is clear that the status quo is no longer sustainable. Israel is strong, prosperous and capable of paying for its defense. Treating Israel as an exception and supplying it with a blank check worth billions has made support for the country more divisive and less sustainable. Simply put, the U.S. should treat Israel like any other partner. The normalization of this relationship doesn’t weaken the alliance – it strengthens it, protects democracy and secures long-term bipartisan support.

I hate to contradict Trump here, but the main problem with Tucker, Candace, Alex, and Megyn isn't low IQ (true though that may be). It's low integrity. Low morals.

People are so mad that the Jewish state refuses to roll over and die. To be clear: that’s their problem. We don’t have to sacrifice ourselves to make you feel better.

@rach3lburn3tt @arash_tehran This is really up to par with JStreet. Nothing shocking.

j street now supports ending US aid to israel, including iron dome/defensive aid. did not have this one on my 2026 bingo card. this once would have been unthinkable, but it just demonstrates how much israel’s current illiberal trajectory has completely torched its reputation.

@EmmanuelMacron You are what you always been a coward

Je me suis entretenu avec le Président iranien Massoud Pezeshkian. Je l’ai appelé à saisir l’opportunité que représentent les discussions lancées à Islamabad pour ouvrir la voie à une désescalade durable et à un accord exigeant qui apporte des garanties solides pour la sécurité dans la région, avec l’ensemble des pays impliqués. J’ai marqué la nécessité que l’Iran restaure au plus vite la liberté et la sécurité de circulation dans le détroit d’Ormuz, à laquelle la France est prête à contribuer. J’ai insisté sur l’importance d’un respect total du cessez-le-feu, y compris au Liban. La France apporte tout son soutien à l’action des autorités libanaises, qui sont les seules légitimes pour exercer la souveraineté de l’État et décider du destin du Liban.

@KevorkAlmassian @JacobL1994_ Jordan

@JacobL1994_ Who pushed the PLO from their land to Lebanon, you silly ignorant?

Israeli tanks in Beirut in 1982, before Hezbollah existed. There has always been an excuse. It was never their fault.

@sfrantzman @IstraelStan Not good analogy. Hizballah not only hide among civilian they are also shooting at Israeli civilians.

Not really. If bank robbers take control of a bank with civilians, the police don’t usually see it as a success to take them out with an equal number of civilians. Just because an enemy doesn’t care about civilians isn’t a reason to play into them and their goal. What if their goal is to get the civilians killed? Why would anyone oblige them? It’s not deeply disturbing. It’s a basic foundation of our western civilization that we care more about preserving life than simply “it’s better to kill a few innocents than let one enemy escape.” It’s what makes us morale and better. A lot of our western heritage is based on avoiding this brutality.

We hear a lot about this 1:1 ratio and I think it’s worth considering none of us would like to be on the other side of this equation. If the enemy was attacking us and saying “we are only killing one of your civilians for one of your soldiers,” none of us would want to be that “collateral damage.” Some wars in history involved large armies confronting primarily combatants, such as the battle of the Somme or Gettysburg. I think most of us would prefer to be civilians in that war, usually able to avoid the battle. If you read about Gettysburg and there had been thousands of civilians killed we’d see it differently. It’s true that modern wars are sometimes tragically fought among civilians. However, precision weapons have also ostensibly given us an ability to avoid casualties. If there are 1,000 enemy infantry in a town of 1,000 people, and the town is not an essential objective, is it good to destroy the whole place? I don’t think we’d want our civilians on the bad side of that equation. The ratio is problematic. The goal, especially with precision munitions, should be very low civilian casualties, not just the brute force of large numbers of casualties. It’s best to consider this number if we are the civilians that can be victims too. And I don’t think any of us want to be on that side of the equation. Better to humanize the civilians than just see them as a ratio. Let’s all take a step back and think hard on this.

@sfrantzman @colwight Stop attacking us. It’s very simple.

@colwight War is hell. Still. Better to make it less so

@RepSwalwell Fuck off

Hear it directly from me. These allegations are flat false. And I will fight them.

@Aboujahjah Stop attacking Israel

Lebanese here. Israel destroyed our house in 1976, I was five. We were ethnically cleansed to another town. Israel destroyed our home again in 1982, I was 11. We escaped with our life and rebuilt our home. Israel destroyed it again in 2024. No one believes your lies.

@Timcast Grifters going to grift. You are a joke

After reading all the replies to my tweets I have come to realize that I have been wrong about everything Trump is demonic and a Mad King, I should have seen it sooner. Israel has been controlling everything the whole time, I was blind. I apologize and hope that moving forward you will still consider reposting me on X and buying my coffee

@GeraldoRivera No you don’t understand. It not your children who lives under this constant threat . Lebanon doesn’t want to be bombed they should stop bombing Israel.

Israel must stop attacks on Lebanon. We understand the threat posed by Hezbollah. But the world is watching what seem attacks on civilian targets in Beirut a major capital city. Please. Don’t be the reason for the collapse of the tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.

@rene_amry @africa1896 @IsraeliPM @grok Both Sides need to agree.

@africa1896 @IsraeliPM @grok Pakistan’s rep at UNSC confirms Lebanon’s inclusion in the ceasefire, says the ceasefire agreement included cessation of hostilities against Lebanon. He added that he was not aware why there was confusion about Lebanon being included because it was clearly part of the statement.

@IsraeliPM @grok Wasn’t Lebanon included in the Iran-USA ceasefire agreement?
