With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcareβ€”it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

A Woman Self-Deported, Hoping to Shield Her Son. He Was Detained Anyway.

Joel Camas is a 16 yr-old NYC high-school junior in the Bronx. He loves soccer & pepperoni pizza.

Yesterday morning, his lawyer and I accompanied him to an ICE check-in. He has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) β€” it should have been fine.

But it was not.πŸ’” [thread]

An open letter to Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove
Dear Rabbi Cosgrove:
I saw your recent jeremiad against Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party nominee for Mayor of New York. It has been, as I assume you intended, making the rounds among New York Jews.
I don't think we've met, although my guess is we've been in the same rooms on more than one occasion.
According to Facebook we have 138 mutual friends.
My mom and I only have 122!
Among our areas of overlap is the institution you have led for the past quarter century, Park Avenue Synagogue. When you were graduating high school in Los Angeles, I was also in high school, here in New York. I attended Park Avenue Synagogue's Hebrew school program, where I learned with some of the city's best teachers (2"| Misha Avramoff).

A screenshot of a post on X that reads: 

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11β€”can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

Let’s play a fun game, if the roles were reversed, and Cuomo was the nominee and Mamdani the outside, would they have endorsed? You already know the answer.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Do you like Zohran's goals of universal childcare + free buses? That means you want New York State to tax the rich.

It also means you disagree with Governor Kathy Hochul, who's telling state agencies to reduce services.

Hochul is facing a primary next year; let us make #TaxTheRich the main issue.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful β€” I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The indictment of Tish James is nothing more than a politically motivated attack by Trump's DOJ aimed at intimidating a Black woman who dares to hold Trump accountable.

New York will fight back. Join the rally at FOLEY SQUARE on 10/10 to say Hands OFF Tish James!

Keep your corrupt, grubby, abusive hands off Tish James, Donald Trump.

Screenshot of the top of the New York Working Families Party's "Vote WFP" website for the 2025 general election. On the upper left is a photo of a multi-racial group of people wearing Working Famlies Party t-shirts and Zohran for NYC campaign bandanas while holding WFP signs or Zohran campaign signs. On the upper right are the words, "Vote WFP: Build power for working people." On the bottom is a black-and-white image of a line from a NYC general-election ballot showing the candidates for NYC mayor. Superimposed on that image is a zoomed-in image of the box for the Working Families Party ballot line; this box is in a conspicuous orange color and shows the letter "D" (since WFP currently occupies the position of "row D" on ballots in New York), with "Zohran Kwame Mamdani" as the candidate, and the bubble next to his name filled in.

Our main objective in NYC is a million votes for Zohran, with 200k of those on the Working Families line. #VoteZonRowD.

Our secondary objective is to block MAGA. In particular, Kayla Santosuosso's win in District 47 (BK) would not only help block the Right but also help build the Left. VoteWFP.info

β€œTwo years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Live-streaming journalist deported to El Salvador after months in ICE custody | CNN Business Mario Guevara was arrested while reporting from a "No Kings Day" protest in June and was deported on Friday - a major blow to press freedoms, say groups including the ACLU.

Mario Guevara should never have been held in detention for performing his journalistic duty.

Mario’s deportation marks a dark day for the Guevara family and for press freedom.

Thanks for all the kind words. I finally heard from my husband who is safe. He is being detained and it is not clear why he was detained or even if charges will be pressed.
