Grateful to speak with @Luc_pete and @Jacobin. The politicians who are bankrolling Israel’s genocide in Gaza are the same ones who lie & say there’s no money for housing, healthcare, or transit. I’m running for office to change that. https://t.co/R2eHRtvsKd

So excited that my friend Aber is running for Assembly in AD34. I am *just* outside the district and my family members live there and my son's school is also in district. Can't wait to knock doors for this amazing community organizer and advocate! https://t.co/DkSDDpbPGm

For 4 months, I’ve pressed the US on the killing of Hind Rajab, her family & medics sent to save her. Independent investigation finds it “not plausible” Israeli forces didn’t see who they shot 355 bullets at. Over & over, the US said it’s waiting for Israel to investigate itself:
Forensic investigation reveals Hind Rajab's car was hit with 355 bullets and finds it "not plausible" that the Israeli tank couldn't see children inside the car https://t.co/Jwb8bvGHh6

Columbia admin tried to shut down the student encampment, instead it inspired nearly a dozen campuses across the country to set up their own encampments demanding justice for Palestine.

Did you know Iranian CUNY students once chained themselves inside the Statue of Liberty in 1977 to protest the US-backed authoritarian Shah, whose secret police had a computer center at CUNY to monitor them? I discuss this forgotten local history on my “Mecca to Manhattan” tour.

While Eric Adams continues to try to distract & mislead re why he/NYPD still haven't fired cops who killed #KawaskiTrawick & why he's refusing to meet w/Trawicks b4 a discipline decision, I'm joining @antiviolence today to uplift Kawaski & his fam. #FireThompsonAndDavis

Why are high school students walking out of schools today? Because 9000+ Palestinians have been killed by U.S. funded Israeli bombs. #CeasefireNow for every student, child, woman and man in Gaza! Shame on our elected officials for leaving students no choice but to take action
