I join the 80% of Democrats who support a ceasefire and the increasing number of elected officials who are speaking out in favor of de-escalation. Gov. McKee may have taken away my job, but he won’t pressure me into silence while a genocide is occuring in front of our eyes.

Gov. McKee speaks out on firing of Miguel Sanchez for Israel/Palestine remarks. Says it was a choice of whether to focus on the office's work or "spend all your time talking about things that are not important."
Some of the governor's initial comments:

-Malcolm X
you either with the oppressed or oppressors.
truly insane that this “both sides” propaganda bullshit column comes out the same day we learn that a @BrownUniversity Palestinian student was shot for wearing a keffiyeh and speaking Arabic.
