@mumstheword65 I’m no fan of the YIMBY tendency in DSA (or anywhere) and am horrified at the administration’s embrace of RAD/PACT. But a 421(a) RS apartment isn’t necessarily cheap. Tenants just have some rights and caps on increases.

@FernandoA We haven’t built enough really affordable housing. There’s a difference because housing markets are not homogeneous. And building lots of housing still won’t compensate for the deepening income inequality that structures demand. We need permanent deep subsidy, and a lot of it.

After winning the Teacher of the Year award at a conference in TX, UMD Professor Kibret was detained by ICE at the airport.

3 weeks later he’s still in custody.

He’s not the “worst of the worst” & detaining him isn’t making our communities safer. He should be released, now.

Cuba is suffering because of U.S. sanctions, not because of socialism

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

For months, 20-year-old U.S. citizen Sama Safi has been subjected to unspeakable cruelty in Israeli prison after being kidnapped from her home.

Sama suffers from a chronic health condition, and her doctors warn that she now risks irreversible organ damage. Free Sama now!

Video from Jackson Heights, Queens today appears to show NYPD enforcing a physical barrier between community response to ICE operating what witnesses described as a “checkpoint” wherein ICE (illegally?) blocked the street and detained a driver.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

The United States is blocking 7,000 containers of medicine, food, and resources for water and energy from reaching Cuba. The US threatens to freeze assets of entities providing support to Cuba.

This violates Article 33 of Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits collective punishment—this’s a blatant violation of international law and a crime against humanity.

The US embargo cruelly cut off all fuel and humanitarian aid, power is out, leaving hospitals without electricity. Dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others will die. Food is rotting. Water pumps stopped working. Systems are breaking down, strangled by the US embargo.

🚨🗣Jose Manuel Lopez speaking on why he was the only Argentina player watching Spain lift the world cup:

"Even if I get expelled from the national team, I have no regret for turning around to watch Spain lift the world cup"

"When we went to receive our medals, the Spanish team line up to applaud us"

"Even my captain Lionel Messi also turn his back, in that moment everything is believe in crumble"

"If I turn my back, I don't deserve to be call a footballer"

@ryanryan_hi The Giuliani administration repeats like a bad meal.

[Claudia Webbe @ClaudiaWebbe]

Gary Lineker, my childhood football hero. Made in Leicester, England.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani asked him what it’s like to score in a World Cup. Lineker’s answer: like hearing rent got frozen for 2 million New Yorkers. This is too good!

1986 still hurts: England 1, Argentina 2.

An israeli sniper kills their mother: shoots her through the head — can someone explain how more israeli lies of self-defence might work here

[John Krinsky @warofposition]

@OsseChi We need a large majority of permanently affordable homes and more targeted ways of doing community preference. The lawsuit and settlement were poorly done, and other cities manage displacement and its consequences more sensitively.

[John Krinsky @warofposition]

@andrewbstern @FernandoA They wouldn’t take too much longer. The groups sponsoring the housing have track records and longtime community support. Good that it’s happening but I dont think this is a big policy change issue.

[John Krinsky @warofposition]

@andrewbstern @DMLeilaBozorg @bradhoylman @BrianKavanaghNY Hats off to Cooper Square Committee, This Land is Ours CLT, and Housing Works!

There is absolutely NO reason to slam that boy's head on stone. He was already restrained.

There was NO reason to point their tasers at people observing. They weren't obstructing.

These ICE thugs have to be brought to justice!

[Cory Archibald @CMArchibald]

This man’s heartbreak is unbearable. Fuck ICE and fuck that little gestapo ghoul Stephen Miller. https://t.co/YTkKC6tZv2

ICE slam man's head against stone wall—send him to hospital with fractured skull.

Man's hands were already behind his back.

Agents then physically assault legal observers—soon as they realize they're caught on video.

Threaten to shoot witnesses with taser—even firing it up.

Agent holds taser sideways "gangster style"—is this proper training?

Man was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital.

Incident occurred outside the Kane County Judicial Center in the St. Charles suburb of Chicago, Illinois.

@KwameCanty01 https://t.co/pnxueGF5f5 It seems that at some point he was.

[John Krinsky @warofposition]

@KwameCanty01 Wasn’t Conyers a member of DSA?
