There are opportunities for Palestine advocacy following the U.S. midterm elections
There are opportunities for Palestine advocacy following the U.S. midterm elections
The midterms aren’t over yet, but it’s already clear that this was an historic disappointment for Republicans. Despite making sure that they mostly backed candidates who had little or no chance of losing, AIPAC suffered a few setbacks, most notably failing in their bid to defeat Summer Lee in Pennsylvania and losing one of their most Arab-hating and war-loving shills in Virginia. Several…

So…do Congress members not get paid until they have a Speaker?
Feel like that’s the one thing that could break them.

Manuel Oliver, the father of a 17-year-old Parkland shooting victim, was arrested Thursday on Capitol Hill after he appeared to shout at a Republican lawmaker who was speaking during a hearing on gun regulations.
Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost, D-Fla., a 26-year-old freshman who is also a survivor of gun violence, tweeted a video of officers detaining a man he identified as Oliver.

Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, afterward that said some people “were disruptive during the hearing.”
“We asked Capitol Police to remove them. They were then removed and then one decided to come back in while we were still gaveled in and disrupted the hearing,” he continued. “That’s when we had a recess. Capitol Police were overwhelmed outside in the hallway and now we’re back in session.”
U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement: “Around noon, a man was arrested for D.C. Code §22-1307 (crowding, obstructing, or incommoding) after he disrupted a hearing.”
In the video tweeted by Frost, a woman could be heard yelling: “Let my husband go!” A Democratic aide with knowledge of the situation said Oliver and his wife, Patricia Oliver, attended the hearing.
The hearing, held by the House Judiciary Committee, titled “ATF’s Assault on the Second Amendment: When is Enough Enough?” elicited a spirited debate over gun deaths and firearm regulations.
Fallon was asking panelists a series of questions aimed at arguing that guns are “merely a tool” and shouldn’t be banned, any more than cars or alcohol should be banned when they’re misused and cause deaths.
A man in the room could be heard yelling and interrupting him.
Fallon looked across the room and said: “Is this an insurrection? So will they be held to the same — I don’t want another Jan. 6, do we?”
Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., jumped in to say: “If they’re trying to overthrow the government they ought to be held to the same standard. But I think they’re trying to express their views.”
Fallon fired back to say Cicilline was “out of line.”
Fallon continued to speak, and was interrupted again. “Does the Capitol Police not do their jobs?” a frustrated Fallon said. “What the hell’s going on?” He then recessed the hearing, before the arrest appeared to take place, and continued it afterward.
Later, Frost tweeted: “Manuel and Patricia Oliver were just kicked out of this committee hearing on gun violence. Patricia said one thing and the chair escalated the entire situation. Then, Police arrested Manuel Oliver who lost his son in the Parkland shooting. His son was shot to death.”

A big old thank you for these sensible people, doing what they can. A ceasefire is the bare minimum.
