Jessica Tisch needs to go - she has been and remains an enemy to entire communities, under whom the NYPD has transformed into an even more deeply fascistic force meant to repress anti-reactionary New Yorkers. Keeping her on was the Mayor’s greatest mistake and greatest betrayal to large swathes of the movement that shouldered him & victory.
This horrific incident and the footage from tonight, man…
Agents surrounded him and A 5-YEAR OLD CHILD in his car before firing multiple rounds.
There is no reforming this barbarism. Abolish ICE is the bare fucking minimum.
Two federal agents are going door to door near the crime scene “trying to get evidence.” Darializa Avila Chevalier and state Sen. Gustavo Rivera are following them to tell people they don’t have to answer or speak with the agents.
An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.
Mabrouk @AbdulElSayed! Your victory is the nail in AIPAC's coffin. AIPAC is effectively finished in both parties, burning what's left of its influence on the outcasts of each.
But the rebrand is coming. We should expect new Zionist outfits—softer than AIPAC, harder than J Street—designed to absorb the backlash over Israel's brutality and the anger of the American public while preserving the same objective: unconditional U.S. support for Israel and immunity from meaningful accountability.
That's why our movement continues until the Israeli occupation ends, apartheid ends, and Palestinians achieve freedom and justice.
Jasmines actually so weird to Priya about Aiden but Priya is actually too unwell to see through it and having Mica parroting everything Jas says makes it even harder for her to have anyyyyy perspective. They’re not your friends! #loveislanduk
New: Mahmoud Khalil just filed a massive lawsuit under the KKK Act of 1871.
He accuses the Trump Admin of colluding with right-wing groups (Betar, Canary Mission, Heritage Foundation) to intimidate, arrest and deport pro-Palestinian activists like himself.
I listened to hours of terrified Iranian children calling Iran’s free tele-therapy hotline amid U.S.-Israeli bombings.
These are some of their voices, brought to life with animation from @ajplus
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya refused to abandon his patients in Gaza. He buried his own son in the hospital courtyard after he was killed by an Israeli drone that struck the entrance of Kamal Adwan Hospital. He kept the hospital running through Israel’s brutal 85-day siege, and didn’t stop fighting for his patients even when the Israeli military raided the hospital and kidnapped dozens of hospital workers. For that, the Israeli military kidnapped him a year and a half ago, and now he's been beaten, starved, thrown in solitary, and is in critical condition — all for trying to save Palestinian lives.
In his last meeting with his lawyer, Dr. Abu Safiya said “They brought me here to kill me.” Dr. Abu Safiya must be released immediately, along with the thousands of Palestinians the Israeli government is holding without charge or trial, who are now at risk after the Knesset passed a law that allows the death penalty for Palestinians.
Kidnapping one of Gaza's few remaining doctors while bombing its hospitals and killing over 1700 health care workers is yet another facet of Israel’s genocide — and it is being carried out with American weapons, paid for with our tax dollars. Palestinians have survived three years plus a century of ethnic cleansing, genocide and aparthied. Enough is enough.
In Congress, I will fight tooth and nail to cut off the endless flow of weapons and American taxpayer dollars to Israel as it violates countless international laws and indiscriminately bombs civilians across multiple countries at once.
People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.
It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…
From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.
My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.
El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.
“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.
This race is the opposite of an “upset”. Anyone paying any attention knew what was coming here. Imagine an incumbent member of Congress, without a scandal, getting trounced - and you begin to understand the depths of the Gaza issue with Dem voters.
