For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.
“Say sorry, be nice is a Rockstar slogan, it has been for many years. At least in this instance, it doesn’t seem like the company is interested in living by it.”

Here’s to more grassroots campaigns across the country, powered by working class people and not ultra rich donors. Don’t fall for culture war bullshit, we can have a better world!
VOTE ZOHRAN!!
@helplesshumans@KahliefAdams I mean this genuinely, get a life, your profile picture is of Hasan combined with Bin Laden. You are a deranged obsessive person, who can't look past the blinders you've applied to yourself.

When ppl chant “Death to the IDF” they’re calling for the end of a military entity that is currently committing genocide. It’s not that hard to grasp, but the entire media continues to intentionally mischaracterize the sentiment behind this message in order to manufacture outrage
