@RepEspaillat Offensively soft statement for someone who supposedly supports immigrants. Grow a backbone.

@garnethenderson This is really important work. Thank you for doing it!!

Just popping back on to say how happy I am that HK is finally gone 🥹

Byeeeeeee 👋

@winequant @bradhoylman Not arguing with a blank profile, but I will say I’ve spent over a decade, through undergrad and doctoral studies, working in the region and learning from many leading experts, so maybe check yourself.

@EricDinowitz Bad take, Eric. Anti-Zionism ≠ anti-semitism and Hamas ≠ all Palestinians.

Also, “countless” is a bullshit hyperbole for the most carefully watched conflict in the world. Numbers are readily available that show the lopsided violence of the Israeli apartheid regime.

[Chris Nickell @cpnickell]

@agounardes Deeply disappointed in your simplistic take here, Andrew. Palestine ≠ Hamas, which doesn’t represent all Palestinians or even most Palestinians in Gaza, all of whom have been held in an open air prison for more than 15 yrs.

@MondaireJones Early donor here. Deeply disappointed in your take. Rally was for Palestine, not Hamas, which doesn’t represent all Palestinians or even most Palestinians in Gaza, all of whom have been held in an open air prison for 15+ yrs.

Standing side by side with Israel means standing with the apartheid regime that led us here. That brutalized a people for decades.

If you are going to stand with a far-right racist extremist government, don't do it in the name of Jews or New Yorkers.

UAW PRESIDENT SHAWN FAIN STATEMENT ON FORD’S ANNOUNCEMENT TO PAUSE CONSTRUCTION ON MARSHALL EV BATTERY PLANT:

“This is a shameful, barely-veiled threat by Ford to cut jobs. Closing 65 plants over the last 20 years wasn’t enough for the Big Three, now they want to threaten us with closing plants that aren’t even open yet. We are simply asking for a just transition to electric vehicles and Ford is instead doubling down on their race to the bottom.”

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

Incredible.

Right up to our contract deadline, Stellantis just can't help themselves, announcing they're executing ANOTHER $500 million on stock buybacks.

If they've got money for Wall Street, they sure as hell have money for the workers who make this industry run.

@LeeBDiaz Congrats! The post-ac water is absolutely amazing. 🥰

@RickIsAPain 😅 why are we still on this platform?!

[UAW Region 9A @UAWRegion9A]

Local 2396, which represents school cafeteria employees throughout all of Puerto Rico, rallied yesterday to force the government to bargain fairly and address issues of wages, classification, personnel shortages, supply shortages, and unpaid overtime.

@mumblerant Oh I just remember that Blackrock and Fink both end in K 🤷‍♀️

@mumblerant Girl same. And there’s one more.

There was a great chart floating around a while ago. A 3x2 matrix that kept track of these MFers. Let me see if I can find it.

[Chris Nickell @cpnickell]

Just got the email that @GothamGazette is pausing publication. Everybody there, especially those I’ve interacted with (@TweetBenMax @samarkhurshid @GeringerSameth) has done such good work. I hope GG comes back!!
