Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza.
I’ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.
Grocery prices are soaring.
Housing costs are skyrocketing.
Retirement savings are plummeting.
But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.
Deporting legal residents because they disagree with you is an attack on everyone’s right to free speech. Who is next, citizens?
This is absolutely unacceptable.

TODAY: UC Berkeley students walked out, joining nationwide protests demanding the release of Palestinian Columbia University student, Mahmoud Khalil, and an end to US funds to Israel.
Why is @Netflix purging so many of its films and content regarding Palestinians and Palestine?
Look at all of the Palestinian stories that are "leaving soon."
Israel is already trying to erase the Palestinians of Gaza and the West Bank. Why is @Netflix erasing Palestinian media from its platform?
Bowman is the last Congress person of color in a NY district not wholly in NYC.
And let’s be clear—the record $20 mill spent against him did not come from Dems in this Dem primary but from anti-abortion, anti-climate justice, anti-worker far-right Republicans. You do the math.
"Slay" the students? "Raze" the schools and faculty? Well, it's nice to know that one of our City Councilmembers is so supportive of higher education. Maybe she'd rather invest public money in religious schools and make all the young pray and recite instead of thinking?
The NYPD confirms that 99% of arrests at NYU were indeed students, not ‘outside agitators’. The sad reality is that our schools are producing monsters, and it’s now our job to slay them. Simple as that.
And the schools and faculty who sit at the top of this chaos must be razed along with them.
They’re not interested in solutions, as their literature makes crystal clear. It’s going to be messy, but it’s also going to be worth it. They’re leaving us with no choice though.
Time to make our educational institutions about education again.
Weapons drawn! On peaceful college student protestors. What is this country coming to? Oh, wait, it happened during Vietnam War and Civil Rights movement, too, and against striking workers. Happy May Day, everyone. The struggle continues.
NYPD going into Hamilton Hall with weapons drawn. This is Vietnam-era state violence.
They’ve handled this in the worst way possible, caring more about a foreign entity than our students.
Here goes the powder keg. The system is in free fall…
@Serenams76@HellGateNY@probablyreadit Friends who were there said the cops were not letting most people leave. It seems like they wanted to make an example out of the students at Columbia and CCNY. It seems like they're trying to scare students to stop them from protesting the ongoing genocide. @PSC_CUNY
In the spring of 1985 we padlocked the front doors of Hamilton Hall, renaming it Mandela Hall, and encamped on the steps for three weeks. Columbia divested from South Africa in the fall of 1985.
