He’s using Makaton signs in the video ie sticking his pinky up which means “bad”. It’s a language used to help people with learning or mental disabilities. Shame on any cunt mocking the boy.
Zohran just doubled down on his campaign promise to disband the SRG as a direct result of the public pressure being applied by “right wing infiltrators” aka the people currently in the streets, the people who were on the ground working to elect him, the people who have stayed vigilant and understand without that pressure there is no ability to hold political leaders to their promises and keep pushing left
Africans are genuinely being treated as subhuman every day. No human deserves to be treated as anything less than that, a human. Don't ignore it just because they're black.
3 years into the genocide initiated by Israel in Palestine, the number of reported people killed has passed 74,000 and over 175,000 injured — a culmination of decades of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

In 1993, this photo of Belgian soldiers holding a Somali boy over an open fire shocked the world.
The soldiers were in Mogadishu as part of the UN-authorized Operation Restore Hope, supposedly there to protect Somalis and deliver humanitarian assistance.
The photograph became evidence in a military prosecution.
And what happened next was even more shocking.
In June 1997, a Belgian military court acquitted the two soldiers, Claude Baert and Kurt Coelus, of assault, battery and threats.
Their defence?
They claimed it was merely a “game.”
The court accepted that there was insufficient evidence that the boy had suffered bodily harm or that his life had been threatened.
The prosecution appealed.
In December 1997, the acquittal was confirmed.
Imagine being the Somali child in that photograph.
Imagine watching the men who held you over a fire walk free because a court decided there was insufficient proof that you had been harmed.
This is part of the history that disappears when Western military interventions in Africa are remembered only through the language of “peacekeeping” and “humanitarianism.”
I hope New Yorkers haunt him with insults wherever he goes. Politicians need to learn they cant just use Palestine’s popularity to launch their careers then switch teams as soon as they take power without people atleast caring. It keeps happening and people do nothing about it.
