Even sugar has become unaffordable.
In Gaza, 1kg now costs 500 shekels.
My parents are elderly and need something sweet daily to stay strong.
We survive on so little… everything feels impossible.
Please help us protect the most precious thing we have — our parents, our strength.

Very Urgent 🚨

We haven’t eaten in days.
Food prices are insanely high, and we simply can’t afford anything.
My family is starving, and we are exhausted.
Please, don’t ignore our cries.
Gaza is not okay.
We need your help
🙏🏻😣

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

DHS team seeking student protesters to target was directed to scrutinize 5,000 people on Canary Mission – testimony of senior ICE official.

So, an ICE rep has now explicitly testified in court that they assembled a "Tiger Team" in early 2025 to compile a list of student protesters on the *Canary Mission* website to target for deportation.

I guarantee Canary Mission is also the reason I was denied entry to the US.

I mean the point is that he had people already organized to do that. You can’t knock on doors if you don’t have volunteers and his volunteers or not just because he’s a progressive candidate.

Well I'm Jewish I don't agree with @ericswalwell.bsky.social's decision to be a fucking liar, and I definitely trust Zohran Mamdani more than I trust Eric Swalwell's defamatory ass

I’m sure you have much more intelligent things to say than the vast majority of folks weighing in!

I am not a New Yorker, so I’ve avoided weighing in on this at all. AND I think this is one of the main lessons from the primary. Dem leaders and candidates would be smart to listen, learn, and adjust.

I haven’t yet. Will give a history primer and explain fear mongering and the perceived threat redistribution poses to capitalists.

Additionally, I had some questions regarding the NYC mayoral election. Zohran Mamdani, the winner of the primary democrat, he is a self-proclaimed socialist. I noticed a rising hatred towards him for being a socialist, I was wondering why? What's so wrong about being a socialist? Is it a misinterpretation or they simply don't know what being a socialist means?

Here's the antidote to the awful GWOT replays we've been subjected to in recent days.

"Mamdani’s very identity is a challenge to a two-party system that has normalized anti-Muslim hate, and through its prism anti-Palestinian repression and genocide."

I love this piece for all that it makes clear about why people turn out to campaign for someone who does not bend in the face of onslaught from the right. And for showing why Palestine lies at the heart of Mamdani’s victory
