Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

Every time you hear about a judge blocking one of 49% eo's you better look up which judge it was, because odds are it was one of the TWO-HUNDRED THIRTY PLUS judges Joe Biden appointed as president and were confirmed by Chuck Schumer and the Democrat controlled Senate (with tie breaking votes from Kamala Harris) of 2021-2025

Yall fucking owe them

Morgan Stephens at Daily Kos:

Behind the scenes, President Joe Biden’s team has been preparing for his big final weeks in office, regardless of who won the 2024 election. “The schedule will be robust and he plans to leave it all on the field,” White House communications director Ben LaBolt told NBC News in September.  During his speech to the nation last Wednesday, Biden addressed some of his administration’s final priorities, including a focus on infrastructure spending, which was a major legislative accomplishment of his presidency. "We're going to see over a trillion dollars' worth of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives in rural communities and communities that are in real difficulty," the president said.  In addition to getting infrastructure projects off the ground before Trump takes office, White House advisers said Biden will also work to safeguard freedoms the president believes are under threat, strengthen global alliances, and take steps to reduce costs for Americans.

America Last is what the socialist democrats are all about.

As always, never buy anything made in china. Don't ever trust a democrat and NEVER leave your child alone with one.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer- the highest ranking Jewish elected official in America- has delayed bringing the Antisemitism Awareness Act to a vote (where it would pass with bipartisan support) for months now.

The act would adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism for government use in issues of civil rights. It does not limit free speech in any way.

You can him below (even if you don’t live in NY). All you have to say is-

Please bring the Antisemitism Awareness Act to a vote. I support this measure to further protect the civil rights of American Jews.

Reblog with an emoji if you did it :) Let’s see how many we can get.

The fact that he mentioned the IRS just shows how absolutely clueless he is about the mood in the room.

Chuck Schumer

[homucifer-ryotan]

At this point saying and hashtagging #Stop Kosa isn't enough. We should doing a #Stop Chuck Schumer tag.

And by stopping him, I mean calling him as much as Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, and Steve Scalise, and politely and patiently convincing him on why Kill Online Speech Act will not be good for anyone, let alone American kids.

Schumer has been pushing for KOSA way too much (even more than Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal lately, and they were the ones who created that cursed bad internet bill in the first place) and he is mostly likely the reason KOSA is back from the dead after being gone for just about a month.

He has using Kill Online Speech Act's title of "Kids Safety" and misguided American parents to push the bill to become legal (even though there are American parents that do not want KOSA). We need not only more Americans, especially American parents to call him and convince why making KOSA a law would not only be bad for kids (and everyone else in the world) but will also make America look bad.

TLTR: Chuck Schumer looks like KOSA biggest supporter and is most likely the reason why Kill Online Speech Act got brought back from the dead even though the bill is an invasion of privacy and violates the first amendment. The more American parents call him on all the reasons why is a bad internet bill, the more likely we can KOSA can be dead for good.

Please parents and everyone else, use the google doc and other links before and keep calling Mike Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, Steve Scalise, and Chuck Schumer calmly and politely. For the sake of having free and safe internet for everyone regardless of age.

Lauren Gambino at The Guardian:

When organizers announced a “Nobody Elected Elon” protest at the treasury department’s headquarters in Washington – in response to the revelation that Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge) had accessed sensitive taxpayer data – not a single Democratic lawmaker had agreed to attend. But as public outrage mounted over Donald Trump’s brazen assault on the federal government, the speaking list grew. In the end, more than two dozen Democratic members of Congress including Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, spoke at the event, which drew hundreds of protesters outside on a frigid Tuesday last week. In speech after speech, they pledged to do everything in their power to block Trump from carrying out his right-wing agenda. “We might have a few less seats in Congress,” Maxwell Frost, a Representative from Florida, thundered into the microphone. “But we’re not going to be the minority. We’re going to be the opposition.” In the weeks since Trump took office, Democrats in Washington have been under increasing pressure from the left to get tougher as the president, with Musk at his side, defies Congress and possibly the constitution. Their phone lines have been inundated with angry callers imploring the opposition party to “do something”. And on Wednesday, progressive activists staged protests outside of their Congressional offices, demanding Democrats in Washington “treat this as the constitutional crisis it is”.

“Nobody is going to hear your boring message about the price of tomatoes when a coup is going on,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of the activist group Indivisible, which helped organized the treasury department action. “You’ve got to fight back.” Relegated to the minority in both chambers of Congress, Democrats have limited powers to stop Trump. But Levin said there is more they could be doing to stand in the way, especially in the Senate. He has urged Democrats to channel Mitch McConnell, the former Republican leader who built a reputation as a ruthless tactician by stonewalling much of Barack Obama’s agenda. “Mitch McConnell was the leader of a much smaller minority than Chuck Schumer leads today. And you know what, he never said, ‘I’m in the minority. I’m powerless. What do you want me to do?’” he noted, challenging Democrats to “pretend you’re Mitch McConnell … and use the powers that he would use.”

On Wednesday, Senate Democrats held the floor in an all-night protest against Russell Vought, Trump’s nominee to lead the White House budget office and the architect of Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for Trump’s second term. The office was behind a now-rescinded Trump administration order freezing all federal loans and grants, which drew legal challenges and united Democrats in opposition. Vought was ultimately confirmed along party lines, but activists were pleased to see Democrats jolted into action. “What we are seeing from members is a very strong desire for Democrats to show some resolve and meet the moment,” said Britt Jacovich, spokesperson for MoveOn, a progressive group that helped organize Tuesday’s protest. “They want Senate leadership and House leadership to use every tool at their disposal to fight back.”

Some Democratic senators – Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware – have said they will vote against all of Trump’s nominees, citing the president’s “unacceptable and dangerous” actions. Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii said he will put a “blanket hold” on all of Trump’s state department nominees until the administration restores funding to USAid, which Musk moved to eliminate. “We should not be complicit in approving Trump’s nominees or Trump’s legislation,” Murphy told the Guardian, arguing that doing so sends the wrong message to Americans whom Democrats are asking to rise up against the Trump administration’s “dangerous slide towards corruption”. In the House Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader, has vowed to use Democrats’ leverage in the narrowly divided chamber to protect federal programs that Trump has tried to defund. On Thursday, he introduced legislation that would shield taxpayers’ personal data from the Doge team, denouncing Musk as an “unelected, unaccountable, out-of-control billionaire puppet master”.

Democrats are also attempting to seize the spotlight. Last week, groups of House and Senate Democrats turned up at government agencies targeted by Doge. On Monday, they protested outside of USAid’s headquarters in solidarity with fired and furloughed workers, after being denied entry from the agency’s building. Similar standoffs unfolded at the treasury department and the education department. Trump, with Musk’s help, has acted with astonishing speed. The president’s blitz of executive actions is part of a deliberate effort to “flood the zone” – a tactic that former Trump administration strategist Stephen Bannon said was designed to overwhelm the opposition and the media. “It’s important for you to understand that the paralysis and shock that you feel right now is the point,” Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told followers during an Instagram live last week. “They are trying to induce a state of passivity among the general public.” But she said Democrats could flood the zone as well, and encouraged supporters to keep making calls to members of Congress, including to Republicans in vulnerable districts who may be persuaded to vote against the president’s agenda if they fear a political backlash in their district.

Democrats across America are calling for more aggressive resistance against the Trump-Musk-Vance axis of evil. #Resist47
