Folks: it is more important now than ever that you tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW to rank five candidates and to NOT RANK CUOMO OR ADAMS.
I just talked to someone at the register while getting lunch. She appreciated the info.
Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵
Two people died at Sing Sing yesterday amid a crisis created by prison guards. One, Mr. Douglas, survived 50 years in prison until yesterday. Enough is enough. The Governor must use all available means to safely release people, including clemency and enacting parole justice.

One month after Trump's deadly and illegal stop-work order freezing humanitarian aid, we are demanding Congress use its power to save millions of lives. Inaction condemns countless people to death.
Trump & @SecRubio: No more defying court orders! Restart AIDS funding now!
I want to make one thing clear. I left @BBCNews last year after covering Gaza for months because I could see evidence accumulating into the robust conclusion that Israel has been committing war crimes & crimes against humanity. 1/4
Director of Field Hospitals in Gaza Dr. Marwan al-Hams:
○ "The number of children who died due to the severe cold has risen to 6."
○ "The Gaza Strip needs a new health system, and most hospitals are destroyed and cannot provide the necessary treatment to the people."
○ "The hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip are not enough to provide services to citizens after they return to their places of residence."
○ "We need generators urgently, and oxygen stations, to operate intensive care units."
○ "We have a long list of patients who need treatment outside the Strip, and the number that has been transferred to Egypt does not exceed 1% to date."
○ "Some medical teams have entered the Strip, but the period during which the specialists remain and their number is insufficient."
Today is the eighth day of the illegal work stoppage by NY prison guards, who abandoned their jobs and left incarcerated people on lockdown with limited or no access to food, medicine, medical care, programs, or legal and family visits.

Backwards! Hospitals are getting slammed with flu, covid and RSV, so *visitors* are restricted while masks are optional. If we really care about stopping transmission, we should require masks. Where are all the people who were screaming about "heartless" visitor restrictions?
just for reference ... $880 billion is just about the entire medicaid budget, but the headline doesn't say "we are eliminating medicaid"
cruelty is the point here. people will die.
Still only 2 sign-ups for this incredible workshop with the author of FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, a coloring book that teaches children about the injustices of the Nakba and the steadfastness of Palestinian resistance: https://t.co/6j4uvR4ukA
