@JoshuaLWatson@JayLJeffers He explains it here. Hardly seems unusual but upsets some people when applied to the Christian Bible. https://t.co/FskqKDllXf
@azcentral Can we try to get basic facts right - the ordinance has nothing to do with permanent tent cities but was targeted at, among other things, people providing meals to homeless people. It applies any public property and even private property in some instances.
@azcentral Specifically. the study indicates that 29% of children were living with family when traffic not they this percent was trafficked by family. Most of the rest were in DCS supervision. The study says nothing about who trafficked the children.
@azcentral This is a very serious issue, however the study cited in the article does not actually support the claim in this headline or in the article. someone at azcentral may want to make a correction.
@LizWolfeReason socialists do advocate for this and have been successful in implementing such policies in some countries. what are the structural barriers for the to distribute direct cash payments ?
@azcentral If you read the actual complaint and assume the government is being truthful, it is pretty clear she did nothing illegal and should never have been arrested. I suspect they know this and that is why they did not even seek an indictment.
@elviadiaz1 This sort of idea will do nothing for public health and is just meant to punish poor people. Just look at who supports it and what states are also plan such bans. Hobbs made the right call.
@katewillett If community meetings aren’t representative of constituents then politicians would safely ignore them. To whatever extent they have an impact it has to be because elected officials think the express what their voters want.
@JohnnyWalsh__@besttrousers Citizens letting their representatives know how they feel about certain issues is very democratic. Is it the Hoi Polloi you have an issue with or would you just rather only the rich and corporations get to voice concerns with elected officials?
In January 2024, Shai Davidai made a video edit of me and Mohsen at a protest, splicing in clips of Hamas leaders. He then circulated it to massive Zionist accounts. The result? Nonstop rape threats, deportation calls, and a wave of violent incitement.
The protest he filmed was in response to a chemical attack by Israeli soldiers on Columbia’s campus, which hospitalized multiple students, including myself. At that protest, Mohsen warned: if this violence is allowed to escalate, one of us will pay the price.
Once again, we see a clear pattern. Mahmoud was detained just days after Shai Davidai launched a racist campaign against him online in collaboration with Canary Mission. Mohsen has now been kidnapped. Shai Davidai has been going after him for almost 2 years now, knowing that he has lost multiple family members in Palestine.
Columbia has not said Mahmoud or Mohsen’s name in any communications whatsoever. They have not responded to desperate reports from multiple students concerned for their physical safety as a result of this professor’s incitement. Shai Davidai is quite literally on paid leave and has made a full-time career out of inciting state violence against vulnerable Arab & Muslim students.
None of these incidents have happened in isolation. This is completely, 100% the fault of Columbia University. They want you to think they have no option but to capitulate to every single demand of zionists and the Trump administration but we can see that the Tufts University admin has put out a declaration of support for Rumseya Özturk, demanding her release. We can see that Harvard is at least pretending to not concede to the Trump administration’s demands (although they have in many ways).
Columbia is COMMITTED to endangering their Palestinian students. They want their Arab & Muslim students to face the extent of state violence and repression so they don’t have to do it themselves. They want you to believe their hands are tied, but in reality, this is something that the Columbia administration and trustees are watching happen with satisfaction.

BREAKING: This is the moment just minutes ago when Mohsen Madawi a Columbia University student was apprehended by HSI agents in the middle of his appointment to become a U.S. citizen. He is a Palestinian-born green card holder. Video was taken by his friend @ChrisHelali
the true profiteers of the $2 billion US bail industry are murky insurance companies — which, per shocking new court allegations, have led a years-long campaign of collusion & retribution to keep the price of bail bonds high
