During the Columbia protests, Espaillat amplified baseless claims that cast largely student protesters as dangerous extremists, helping legitimize a smear campaign against his own constituents. In doing so, he echoed talking points promoted by AIPAC and others seeking to discredit the students. Today, more than 100 students have been suspended, expelled, or otherwise disciplined by Columbia, yet he has done nothing to support them or speak out on their behalf.

🇵🇸Watch as CCNY Colin Powell School students disrupt their own graduation speaker Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who was the sole veto on three separate UN resolutions for an immediate ceasefire and the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

I'm glad Zohran is considering supporting @DarializaforNY. She's always been there for my family, while Espaillat did nothing for us when I lived in his district. He's too cozy with AIPAC and Columbia.

Dan Goldman's fearmongering and weaponization of antisemitism couldn't kill the boycott. His constituents passed it 67-31. Funny that establishment Democrats can't read the room in their own district.

And yes, BDS is the floor when Israel is a genocidal apartheid state.

Remember kids, StopAntisemitism isn't about combating anti-Jewish bigotry, it's about promoting anti-Palestinian racism and genocide

4 black kids were abducted by 16 Ecuadorian militaries and they burned their bodies. Ecuadors president did everything in his power to imply they weren’t innocent so they deserved it until Courts proven him wrong. The youngest was 11 & oldest 15.

We're now seeking Supreme Court review of my case after the Third Circuit Court of Appeals declined to rehear it in a 6-5 split.

This fight is about whether the government can detain and deport people for their speech. It can't end here.

Honestly pure dictator shit. A real democracy would immediately imprison him for even trying this

I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ.

BLACK socialists at that, since ppl like to pretend that the left is only white people for some reason

[Mahmoud Khalil | محمود خليل @mahmoudkhalel]

Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel.

The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.

I love being Caribbean 😩

I have a great grandfather who was a Borinqueneer, fought in the Korean War died in San Juan soon after coming back from fighting that “war” I also have no interest in watching that film. Go on ahead though.

Why I went out to a pub with family and I was UNcarded. “Oh no I don’t need YOUR ID, but hers (my sister) I do need to check.
😭

[Andrew Viñales @fogoav]

@KeemHastheDream Carried, okay!!

[Andrew Viñales @fogoav]

She gave of her family tradition to the world without getting the proper compensation she deserved. It’s time we gave back for the funerary rites and for the grieving family I put $25 to the pot who can match or double me? https://t.co/d6v5fVVECo

February 28th, La reina de la salve Dominicana joined the ancestors. If you’ve ever listened to “los olivos” “india del agua” “gran Bwa” know she was singing music that got us closer to freedom and closer to spirit. #PaloDominicano #AfroLatina https://t.co/d6v5fVVECo

[Andrew Viñales @fogoav]

While we love the music, it is important to remember that this Black music is still heavily policed and surveilled in the DR. She may have reached folkloric status but this music which represents Afro-resistance is always a threat to the state order.

Gracias a la misericordia.

[Andrew Viñales @fogoav]

See this GoFundMe for the late Enerolisa Nuñez la Reina de la Salve Dominicana. to support the funerary rites and grieving family of Afro-Dominican Cultural workers. Ran by my soul sister Kaila the money shoes directly to Enerolisa’s daughter.

[Andrew Viñales @fogoav]

For anyone who has ever listened to “yo soy ogun balenyo” please consider putting in for Enerolisa, who deserved nothing but the best in this life and in the ancestral plane. It was the great privilege of my life to host an event with them in the Bronx and it’s time to give back.
