Columbia had students who said this was true arrested, expelled, and stripped of their degrees. They were falsely accused of antisemitism by the international press and government for speaking out. What will the consequence be for the perpetrators admitting it? Probably nothing.
Florida tried to create "Alligator Alcatraz."
The Miccosukee Tribe stood up and sued. As a result, Alligator Alcatraz was officially shut down today.
We need to thank the Miccosukee Nation for their courage and attention to this fight; this victory wouldn't have happened without their commitment to protecting our environment.
the diapers were paid for. walmart called the cops on a pack of diapers that were paid for. a mother lost her precious baby. kohen wiley lost his entire life over a pack of paid diapers. acab. defund the police. fund necessities for children. create an actual safety team that is trained in deescalation , can provide resources for necessities and for mental health. these cops need to be charged for murder when they murder.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Requiring doctor’s notes to excuse sick days is inherently classist in a country without universal healthcare, and it is wild how little that is discussed.
Before pride month starts im just gonna say this:
-men’s mental health month is in November
-straight pride isn’t a thing. Nobody has ever been oppressed or killed for being straight
-veterans get 2 months. May and November
So do some research before complaining :)
When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit.
Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.
We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people.
We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.
Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run.
That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.
They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future. Today, their lives were brutally cut short.
I am heartbroken and appalled by the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, including reports that a girls’ school in southern Iran was hit, resulting in the injury and death of many girls. The killing of civilians, especially children, is unconscionable, and I condemn it unequivocally.
My heart is with the children, families and communities affected by escalation across the region. I stand firmly against violence and the targeting of schools and civilians. I call for the escalation of violence across the region to end. Justice and accountability must follow. All states and parties must uphold their obligations under international law to protect civilians and safeguard schools.
Every child deserves to live and learn in peace.
do not let the government fool you. they absolutely do owe you functioning systems, they owe you clean water, they owe you access to housing, they owe you opportunities to work, they owe you dignity. that’s within their constitutional mandate, that’s their purpose and their duty.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
Renee Good’s killer: 10 year ICE officer
Alex Pretti’s killer: 8 year Border Patrol officer
We can’t pretend this is all the result of Trump’s sloppy training. The entire agencies are rotten to the core.
1,200 people ICE detained in the Florida “Alligator Alcatraz” concentration camp are missing. Completely disappeared. No one outside knows where they are or what happened to them.
