3 months ago I saw the news about Mahmoud Khalil, turned off my phone and went to canvass a Muslim coffee shop during Ramadan. The future Mayor of NYC showed up. Haven’t looked back since. 16 days till the election, let’s win this.
Three months ago today, plain-clothes ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil in his apartment building lobby after they'd followed him home. Free Mahmoud.

I used to think going to law school would be both useful and interesting, but the more I see Trump do stuff like blatantly contradict the same legal reasoning used to say Biden couldn’t cancel student debt, the more I realize how much of this system is just made up.
Maybe someone can cite the section of federal law which allows a President to move unused Pentagon funding into military pay for a new fiscal year - without Congressional approval.

Me and 112 of my NYC DSA comrades ran the UN Gaza 5K. Our team raised $36,552 to provide mental health support to kids in Gaza. For the math heads, that’s $7k per K

does this remind you. of anything.
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. https://t.co/c9C7Zm4wsn

Are people really this stupid to not understand that the gratification of creating art comes from the challenge of it? Art isn’t a problem to solve. The process of doing something difficult from start to finish is literally the ENTIRE point of it.

The story about Israel using fake animations of Hamas tunnels should be huge and covered by all mainstream media because it undercuts everything Israel said about why it needed to invade hospitals and schools and level Gaza to the ground. And this is why it won't be

everytime there’s a truce Israel escalates their bombing of starving people in tents up until the last second and it’s just something everyone in US media either ignores or acknowledges but shrugs off as a personality quirk Example #14,660 of Israeli depravity totally normalized
BREAKING: Israeli fighter jets have bombed western Gaza City, attacking a house in al-Shati camp, while forces detonated an armoured vehicle near homes in the Sabra neighbourhood, south of Gaza City, despite a ceasefire announcement. 🔴 LIVE update: https://t.co/QnaJQQ7ZnH

Whatever you think about the last 2 years in Gaza, it’s just very telling that most statements today continue to center Israeli victims. Even the lowest casualty estimates suggest more than 60 dead Palestinians for every Israeli. Palestinian lives are not inherently worth less.

2 years of genocide. 2 years of mass graves, children covered in rubble. 2 years of it’s too complicated. 2 years of hospitals, schools, homes turned to dust. 2 years of starvation, thirst. 2 years of the living envying the dead. 2 years. Nothing will ever be the same.

Free @enoughformethx, @davidrkadler, the entire flotilla crew, and every single Palestinian incarcerated in the occupation’s torture prisons. The genocide must end, Israel must be abolished, and resistance must continue until Palestine is free

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy.

They lynched a Black man, and if it weren't for Kapernick paying for a private autopsy, many would have believed the official statement. Police lie. Authority figures lie. We as people have to demand accountability
