NYC is about to spend 11x that on building new jails (over 10 years.) The daily pop of rikers is near 8,000, most of them held PRETRIAL and there because they can’t pay bail...

Just a reminder that one billion dollars is enough to pay 20,000 people $50K

A new lawsuit alleges anti-Palestinian sentiment ran so deep in Eric Adams' admin that a staffer was ousted from her job for being Palestinian.

"Shut up already,” ex-Adams aide Menashe Shapiro allegedly said as the staffer spoke about Gaza in a meeting. https://t.co/UVh7B4kIJh

Ahead of today's game, Egypt coach Hossam Hassan appealed to the world to "let the Palestinian people live." Israel responds by killing the head of public relations for the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza:

More NYPD officers are coming the Bronx. Some residents and early Mamdani supporters are skeptical —> https://t.co/F3hT1BGik2

HPD just sued my landlord for credit reporting us for going on rent strike over the building eventually being vacated for repairs.

thank you to @NYCMayor for creating the environment for us to fight back!!!

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

We're proud that the Safety Not Censorship coalition's organizing has successfully prevented the Speaker’s effort to force 175B through. We’re committed to making sure no future versions of this legislation become law.

Particularly sad to know the San Diego Islamic Center shooters were 17 and 19. How did we produce a society that convinces young people to go shoot up a house of worship and then end their own lives? What had we taught them and what future had we offered them?

[The People’s Plan @PeoplesPlanNYC]

VICTORY! We applaud @NYCMayor for vetoing Intro 175B & standing for free speech rights & safety. 100+ orgs & unions & thousands of NYers made it clear: yes to our rights & #NoTo175B. Let's keep pressure up! @NYCCouncil must vote NO & sustain veto. Act now: https://t.co/1i6e1llZtR

[The People’s Plan @PeoplesPlanNYC]

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 @SpeakerMenin & @EricDinowitzNYC just passed 2 bills that restrict protest BUT we can still defeat 1 of them.

Big landlords & corporations owe NYC $1.5B+ in unpaid fines—while we face a $5.4B budget gap. Time to #MakeEmPay.

The death toll from the Israel-US bombing of the girls’ school in Minab has now risen to 165. The magnitude of cruelty and evil here is just unfathomable.

[The People’s Plan @PeoplesPlanNYC]

Update: The FY27 prelim budget shortchanges libraries & key Ed programs. Yes, NYC must balance the budget & NYS must help fix NYC’s structural gaps, BUT the Mayor & Council must protect services. Options: Raise $ from corporate lawbreakers & rein in uniformed overtime.

[The People’s Plan @PeoplesPlanNYC]

NYC’s FY27 prelim budget closes a $5.4B gap—but NYers shouldn’t foot the bill while corporate lawbreakers dodge what they owe. Glad to see investments in DOF & Law Dept, but more is needed to make big companies pay—and bring in the $ NYC needs.

[Ben Furnas @bfurnas]

Great to see broader consensus for better management of parking from @nycfuture.

“Metering roughly one-quarter of those currently free spaces would generate $1.3 billion annually while improving turnover for local businesses and reducing congestion.”

Governor Hochul should read @NYFiscalPolicy brilliant report on how "tax flight" of the 1% is a myth --- & an excuse. NYC/NYS need revenue in light of the Trump budget cuts --- & raising that revenue = #TaxTheRich & make corporations pay their fair share. https://t.co/mPkAkAYhIG

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

The City’s budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

New footage shows armed Israeli settlers in Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, draining a Palestinian family’s water tank, wasting the water and blocking their livestock from drinking the water as well.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

When politicians say they “support a Palestinian state,” for this statement to be meaningful it has to answer two follow ups —

1) will Palestine be permitted to have a military independent of Israel-US security architecture?

2) point on a map where exactly this state would go

The US/Israel cannot be the overseers of food distribution, your executioner cannot be your savior. The UN should be given full access & there should be an open flow of medical personnel, medicine, food, and the materials to rebuild energy and desalination infrastructure.
