This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.
Fala, pessoal, tudo bem? Gostaria de conversar com vocês sobre algo muito importante.
Em todos esses anos criando conteúdo, sempre deixei claro que sou contra qualquer tipo de preconceito, discriminação, violência ou ataque contra qualquer pessoa ou minoria. Eu cresci na internet e passei grande parte da minha vida construindo uma comunidade incrível, formada por pessoas completamente diferentes umas das outras, que sempre me acolheram e me apoiaram em tudo que faço.
Estamos vivendo um momento muito importante para o nosso país, em que o voto de cada pessoa importa. Nunca usei minhas redes para declarar publicamente meu voto, mas, neste momento, senti que deveria deixar claro aquilo em que acredito.
Quero agradecer por todo o apoio e carinho que recebi da minha comunidade durante todos esses anos e dizer que meu voto no próximo turno será Lula 13.
