So many mutual aid requests coming out of Gaza.

People are desperate for food, medicine, water.

If you can’t donate, the least you can do is share.

What is happening now is not just poor or childish management it is a full digital purge. Deleting Palestinian accounts and silencing marginalized voices is not merely a flawed policy it is a blow to erasing our existence from the map, both digitally and humanly.

Literally ethnic cleansing.

Please donate and share, share, share! Thank you so much.

Stop Giving Israeli Officials A Media Platform To Spout Lies Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Stop Giving Israeli Officials A Media Platform To Spout Lies

Stop platforming Israeli government officials and professional genocide apologists. Stop asking them what they think. Stop presenting their lies and manipulations as news stories.

Zohran Mamdani’s big education idea? Don’t give the mayor control of NYC schools. “Not too many politicians have been in the business of giving power away,” one education expert said.

MORE CONCILIATORY THAN PREVIOUS AUTHORITARIANS, WILL NEW YORK SEE A NEW DAY DAWNING?: “Zohran supports an end to mayoral control and envisions a system instead in which parents, students, educators and administrators work together,”

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t allow his first, tepid recognition of reality — that the Israeli government, with the full support of the Trump administration, is starving the people of Gaza — last more than a few hours without walking it back.

This is someone who believes in nothing.

UFT delegates voted to endorse Mamdani because they believe he is the best candidate in the race to advance our union’s agenda: to protect our premium-free health care, fix Tier 6, pass the “RESPECT check” bill, implement the class size law, revamp mayoral control and more.

“I will be proud to work with the union to fully fund our public schools, to ensure that every dollar we win — be it in City Hall or in Albany — for the purpose of education is actually going into our classrooms,” said @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at our press conference on the UFT endorsement. 👏👏

We entrust our city's future to the nearly 200,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors and more of the UFT. Now more than ever, they need a mayor who recognizes their value and has their backs. I am honored to earn their endorsement.

Major news!!

Gillibrand Goes on Islamophobic Rant About Mamdani as Republicans Try to Denaturalize Him The Democrat’s rant has sparked calls for her to resign over her bigoted language.

Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand went on an Islamophobic rant against Zohran Mamdani, falsely suggesting Mamdani made an explicit call for violence when he did not — ignoring the many times that Mamdani has denounced antisemitic violence.
