  • Former St. Louis Congressmember Cori Bush Runs for Seat Again After AIPAC Targeted Her in 2024

    Cori Bush is running for Congress again. Bush previously served two terms as a Democratic congressmember for Missouri, until she was unseated in 2024 following a multimillion-dollar attack campaign run by pro-Israel groups. Bush, a community activist who participated in the 2014 Ferguson uprising over the police killing of Michael Brown, was an outspoken critic of Israel in Congress and introduced a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza in October 2023. “I’m running again because the person in the seat is not meeting the moment, and he’s someone that was basically placed there … because they didn’t want someone speaking out for the people of Palestine, speaking out for human rights and civil rights,” says Bush.

  • ICE Abducts Then Releases Columbia Student After Mamdani Intervenes & Calls to Dismiss More Cases

    Federal agents detained a Columbia University student early Thursday after Department of Homeland Security officers allegedly gained access to a university-owned residence by presenting a fake missing person poster of a 5-year-old. As news broke of the student, Ellie Aghayeva, and her detention, students and community members rallied en masse demanding her release and an end to immigration enforcement on campus. Due to restrictions implemented by the university in response to pro-Palestine protests, the students were unable to protest on campus proper, but instead took to nearby streets. Aghayeva was released Thursday afternoon, shortly after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani brought up her case during a meeting with President Donald […]
