Malcolm X: "You don't get freedom peacefully. Freedom is never safeguarded peacefully. Anyone who is depriving you of freedom isn't deserving of a peaceful approach by the ones who are being deprived of their freedom."
Taking children as hostages, if confirmed, is barbarism, plain and simple, and does nothing to advance the cause of peace, resistance, or ending the occupation.
The response to the ongoing suffering and killing of Palestinian children is not to make Israeli children suffer.
Rockland County's Hirschhorn Estates' years of neglect of its Rochester portfolio has netted it 470 code violations. The homes are plagued with mold, rats, squatters, and collapsing roofs. Now, the city wants Hirschhorn to pay—to the tune of $131 million. https://t.co/YaeVLPBMJc
Why we disagree with the anti panhandling resolution. It is reactionary and will not get anyone closer to being housed.

Once again, we don’t know what’s going on in the courtroom.

I am proud to have done a know your rights training for UAlbany students last night. We discussed the 1st, 4th and 5th amendments and how to stay safe during a protest. @ualbany_ydsa
2. How dare any elected official in New York, but especially one who's obstructed our efforts to house more people & prevent the evictions that drive homelessness, blame people on the street for "ending up" there. Housing insecurity isn't their fault. It is your policy failure.
