A thread of photographs from today's "Families Stand Up for Gaza" protest organized by @socialists.nyc, @jvp.bsky.social, and many other groups.

A Palestinian mother weeps while speaking to the crowd. The big "SHAME" heads on the displays behind her featured Schumer, Jeffries, and Gillibrand.

“Let Gaza Live”: 50 Jewish Peace Activists Arrested Protesting Senators Schumer, Gillibrand for Vote to Keep Arming Israel

As parents, caregivers, and families, we cannot stay silent while families in Gaza are starved, bombed, and displaced. Join us this Sunday at Grand Army Plaza with families across NYC: actionnetwork.org/events/famil...

Antiwar activists led by @jvp.bsky.social occupied the lobby of the New York offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand on Friday to denounce their votes against halting arms shipments to Israel.

Banging pots and pans, they chanted "Stop starving Gaza!" and "Never again for anyone!"

My brother is riding in the pan mass challenge this weekend to raise money for cancer research. He still has about 1000 dollars he needs to raise if you would like to throw him a couple bucks

Severance and The Bear are already all-timers for me and might finish stronger than most other shows.

First-of-its-Kind Labor Conference Strikes Detroit By: Chris Viola

Not surprised @weratedogs.com out here doing more than most politicians, naming financial precarity and instability within the U.S., and calling attention to the needs of Palestinians. Genuinely touching class consciousness. Plus, dogs. youtu.be/PNkDYZY94so?...

Flood watch today 7/31/25! Stay safe New York City.

As NYC Releases New Flood Maps, Here’s What You Can Do Before the Water Starts Rising Between downpours of rainwater and storm surges from the ocean, the potential for future flooding near the coasts and further inland is high.

NYC, we’re expecting heavy rainfall within the next couple of hours.

Make sure you know what to do in case you’re in a flood zone.

⚠️ NYC Weather Alert: Up to 5” of rain expected 2–5 PM today, with rates up to 3”/hr. Major flooding risk in streets & subways. Travel advisory in effect—avoid travel and move to higher ground if in a basement. Stay safe and look out for each other.

If this is how the IDF treats American citizens traveling with media attention, it brings even more credibility to the reports of their abuses of Palestinian civilians. I stand in solidarity w/ my brother Chris, the civilians in Gaza and all working towards peace and dignity for all. End this horror

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

A screenshot of the Zohran for NYC merchandise at the NYC-DSA online shop: 2 shirts for $29.99 each: a grey shirt with an illustration of Zohran - “A Better New York is Possible!”; a red shirt with that text in white but an illustration of a rose; a bright blue button with orange and red lettering for $3; a lively bright blue illustrated “A City We Can Afford” poster for $9.99 with the same color scheme and Zohran’s policies incorporated with drawings of the Statue of Liberty, buses, apartment buildings, grocery cart, etc.; a peek at a red sticker (sold individually or in packs) with ZOHRAN FOR NEW YORK CITY in white text. Get ‘em while they last!

DANG these new Zohran merch items are cool @socialists.nyc! 👏

Need a good short piece about Zohran to share with your normie "non-political" friends as the general-election phase begins?

I understand there are *hundreds* more stations, lines / trains, and it’s several decades older, etc., but having grown up with and using BART all my adult life (which is entirely wheelchair accessible), it’s still wild to me how much of the MTA is not wheelchair accessible. Glad to see progress.

You’re not a nobody, your efforts are continually inspiring and heroic. (But I know what you mean and felt similarly. Plus just doing the right thing because it should be done.)

Paul Newman speaking at a function in the 1960’s: “The times are much too critical, too crucial, for people to not participate. I’m fed up with apathy.”

Hence my trying to help you out with sharing his filmography, he’s one of the most iconic film stars and cool figures of cinema. Later in life dedicated earnings from his Newman’s Own line of pasta sauces, lemonade, popcorn, etc., to charity. Anyways, hope you will watch some of his movies!

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.

I saw this last night, it’s great!
