‘The killings have mercifully stopped in Gaza, but there must now be a refusal to normalise what will follow – a return to a status quo in which we all keep on pretending that Palestinian life is viable under the authority of Israel.’

In addition to multiple Trump-backing billionaires, the single largest donor to Cuomo's SuperPAC is @DoorDash — a clear effort to influence labor and street safety regulations. Will they stand by this Islamophobia? https://t.co/YEAHupGNR2

The donation marks the largest of any in the crowded Democratic primary for New York City mayor.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.
