"The neighborly community is the prize we seek.

So, keep your eyes on the prize.
Keep hope alive
Don’t quit.
Fight on. Fight on."
Buffalo's East Side deserves healthy neighborhoods. Our new study can help build them: https://t.co/eUJh1FRZn8
“It makes me wonder if the tax burden, in a really big way, is being shifted from people who can really afford to pay taxes, to people who can’t,” said Wilson, who worries that the city’s latest reassessment will worsen the city’s existing housing crisis.

10 years in superintendent's receivership is not a comfortable place for any NY elementary school. But if you ask BPS leaders, the new principal & consistently active @UrbanStudiesUB, Futures Academy in the Fruit Belt has renewed hope. https://t.co/BVnpGSFa26
"How many more American citizens need to get killed by the Israeli military before the U.S. government begins defending American life?"
@AymanM on the growing erasure of Palestinians and the death of American Aysenur Eygi in the West Bank.
Dr. Nada Elia's words have been stuck in my head. When we say 61% of Americans oppose arming Israel, it isn't really true. People are voicing opposition, but not nearly enough making that opposition a verb.
Opposing genocide requires action.

Israeli air strikes have left more than 42 MILLION tons of debris across the Gaza Strip — enough rubble to fill a line of dump trucks stretching from New York to Singapore.
When a majority of voters are demanding a ceasefire & an end to the genocide, it is completely out of touch & disgraceful for the DNC to deny Palestinian Americans a voice at the convention.
Michelle Obama implored us all to do something. I’m imploring our party to do better.
first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey
Never forget that the Brown administration robbed residents of ARP funding, which its own spending plan set aside for food security, renter assistance and workforce development.
Under Brown, budgets bloat and the Fed foots the bill.

@ourcityaction and @ipostnews hit the nail on the head. The Brown administration refuses to be accountable to the people of Buffalo, even as lead poisoning and snow drifts cut their lives short.
BREAKING| Israel’s Channel 14 reports that the ICC is expected to issue arrest warrants against Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant within the next two weeks.
The Town of Clarence recently won a $5 million grant for sidewalk improvements from NYS.
Why does a suburb with a 0.5% Black population and a $366k median household income require that much support?
