NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.
This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.
In the weeks leading up to the most consequential election of my lifetime, there’s been a great deal of focus on Black men. But the group we should have been focusing on is white women — the nation’s largest electorate. White women are the only American women where the majority did not vote for Hillary Clinton. Had white women voted like the rest of women, women would still have their constitutional right to abortion and affirmative action would still be legal. Two of Trump’s own former generals have warned that he’s a fascist. Black women were credited with saving democracy in 2020, will white women step up and do the same in 2024? My latest essay revisits the fraught history of white women’s solidarity.

It's very simple. You don't get to warn about the danger of fascism in November - which, as I have said for years, is very real! - without challenging, rather than colluding with, fascist tendencies *right now*
The very juxtaposition in this tweet falsely and nefariously implies that antisemitism and pro-Palestinian are synonymous, which is certainly how mainstream media has covered the anti-genocide, pro-divestment movement on U.S. campuses.

House passes Antisemitism Awareness Act, a vote that comes as pro-Palestinian protests spring up on college campuses across the country.

How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped?
Why do we not know more?
Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?
