Another stolen land sale is happening tonight at a right wing synagogue, Young Israel of Jamaica Estates.
In Queens, where its defenders are already promising gun violence.

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt just went on Shai Davidai's podcast to rant about the "pathology of victimhood,” liberalism, and intersectionality.
As Jews committed to stopping antisemitism and protecting democracy & civil liberties, Greenblatt’s attitude completely undermines the fight against Jew hatred. 🧵
@BPolatseck@ericadamsfornyc Targeting? You mean advocating for. This kind of small thinking about something so expansive as freedom and justice is why your guy is no longer in office.
And this is exactly it. Show the cards. This isn’t about kids and it’s not about houses of worship. It’s using Jews as a shield to suppress our constitutional rights.
A veto of basic protections for Jewish New Yorkers tells you everything you need to know about the direction of this city.
Yesterday, I made it clear: the Attorney General has the authority to act right now.
When elected, I will.
You’re being disingenuous, there are already very clearly outlined rules for blocking the sidewalk and building entrances generally. How about some education on the laws already existing before you try to chill free speech?
Ensuring students and congregants can enter and exit their schools and houses of worship without fear of harassment or intimidation should not be controversial.
The safe access bills simply require the NYPD to clearly outline how they will ensure safe access when there are threats of obstruction or physical injury, while fully protecting First Amendment rights.
This is a gross misrepresentation of the bill. As a former union organizer w/@MOREcaucusUFT and a school SWer protesting in front of schools is what finally caused the @NYCSchools to close due to the covid pandemic. Protest protected and saved kids lives!
And this right here getting erased from the entire deed theft narrative is the biggest flag of anti-blackness still pervasive in this city by all politicians congratulating themselves today on a job well done.
Israel murdered Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil.
Killing journalists in a war zone is a war crime, and Israel has been doing it with impunity for years.
The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity.
4.23 Action at Governor Hochul’s Manhattan office. Witnessed dozens of people who love this city enough to put their bodies on the line try and convince our Governor to *mildly inconvenience* people who can’t even be bothered to pay their fair share. Tax the Rich.
The free press is under attack, and monopolizing mergers like the Warner Bros-Paramount deal will further reduce trust and independence in media.
This will increase CEO profits while hurting creators and consumers alike. #BlockTheMerger
"Little progress comes without protest...We have to be able to protect safety without prohibiting speech."
Hear from the Public Advocate on why we support @NYCMayor's veto of Intro 175-B as written, as its broad language would have had a chilling effect: https://t.co/hRg8N5gu6Y
HAPPENING NOW: Roughly 75 people have taken over the lobby of @governor.ny.gov’s NYC Midtown office demanding she tax the rich.
Speakers are sharing their stories on Medicaid and the risk that loss of healthcare under Trump’s proposed cuts poses to them.
And this is what was meant by Julian Casablanca’s subway take. It doesn’t diminish the reality and actual fear that antisemitism is increasing and has deadly consequences but for the vast majority of Jews… we iight for now.
This guy is a hero:
“As a Jew I’d say there’s nothing hard about being Jewish right now. Palestinians are being genocided. Lebanese are being genocided. Iranians are being bombed by a genocidal entity called Israel & any Jew to make this about themselves is wildly out of touch.”
Thankful he’s coming through and doing the right thing. It’s half the battle but we gotta sustain the veto and deal with the houses of worship bill he didn’t.
Yeah, we need to invest way more in @WBAI and other free speech radio that is unbought by corporate conglomerates. And also- corporate media has long been antisemitic.
