@andrewcuomo @ZohranKMamdani Calling a rent stabilized apartment a rent controlled one should be enough to disqualify you from being mayor of NYC

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

More than 41,800 people have been killed in a year of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The health ministry in Gaza has confirmed the identities of more than 34,000 of them. Here are their names.

Hunter & CUNY don’t want people to protest for Palestine. Going remote in advance of todays rally

“Tomorrow, diplomatic relations with the state of Israel will be broken … for having a genocidal president,” Petro said, adding: “If Palestine dies, humanity dies, and we are not going to let it die.”

If Colombia can divest from Israel why can’t Columbia? https://t.co/XfOyNZHjxX

I have covered tons of protests over the years and the cop response to Columbia University tonight was more than I’ve ever seen. It felt like they were using these student protestors as an excuse to play with their military toys.

[Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine @ColumbiaSJP]

TO BE CLEAR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS CALLED THE COPS ONTO ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, ON THE 56TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN THEY LAST CALLED THE POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO ARREST OVER 700 PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR & HARLEM GENTRIFICATION ON APRIL 30TH, 1968

[The People's Forum @PeoplesForumNYC]

🚨NOW OUTSIDE COLUMBIA! It’s has never been more clear: the people are with Palestine and will not stand for the brutality of the NYPD or Columbia University’s attempts to stop the protest of a genocide!

[Isabelle @isabelle_leyva]

Arrests underway on 114th as NYPD clears protesters from the area surrounding campus. They’re shoving people into buildings and blocking the doors. NYPD has kicked all legal observers out of the area.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Absolutely insane footage of the NYPD entering Columbia University. It’s endless.

[Keegan Stephan @KeeganNYC]

ProPublica got video of the NYPD killing of #KawaskiTrawick in his own home. Two cops arrived. The more experienced one literally pushed the other's gun down and said "No, no, don't" before the cop killed Kawaski. Investigators never asked about the video. https://t.co/fNa39raLjN

nyc hasn't been paying the preschool and daycare providers that make up its once-lauded pre-k system. one estimate from january put the amount owed to them at ~ $400 million. i took a look at how they're coping for @bw + @CityLab https://t.co/x6f4D5btLS

[john teufel @JohnTeufelNYC]

So I was trying to find the source of this alleged Neely quote NBC used. It appears to not exist. NBC removed the quote from the printed story. MSNBC attributed it to a cop's report of a witness's statement. No witnesses have claimed directly that Neely said this.

@arturbo There was one year (I think 4th grade) where every morning we said the pledge and then sang the [Washington Football Club’s] Fight Song.
