I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Israel was not given notice of Hamas’ plan to transfer who they claim is Shiri Bibas today and learned of it through Al-Jazeera. Isn’t it strange how Al-Jazeera is almost always ahead of Hamas with their announcements? It’s almost as if the same people run them… 🤔
