A biker with a Palestinian flag was assaulted by a Jewish supremacist. This is becoming a pattern.

Jewish politicians, leaders, and voters can openly support Republicans and declare that their vote depends on Israel, yet they will never be treated like marginalized Black people who lose faith in electoral politics after Democrats repeatedly fail them.
“I vote for Israel in America”
Oops! From Tel Aviv too.

Why do you, as a Jewish man, feel it's appropriate to call a Black man a slave?
Ta-Nehisi Coates has become a slave to #antizionism and I have had enough. Watch till the end ! #tanehisicoates #antizionism

Zohran visited Harlem today and was treated like a celebrity. Instead of meeting with the community advocates who have been requesting a meeting, he met with community influencers.

The average daily population at Rikers has barely budged since Mamdani took office.
Peter's interview was a great read then, and fascinating two years later: cityandstateny.com/personality/20…

Zohran Mamdani launched his mayoral campaign two years ago today. @petersterne interviewed him at the time. And it's remarkable how decarceration has not been the mayor's focus, at all, in office.

At heart all Zionists believe their lives matter more and that supersedes any performative empathy they have for Palestinians.
Accusing the Israeli military of committing genocide and then mourning the deaths of soldiers that took part in that genocide. Come on man, what are we doing?

This is why the term “liberal Zionist” will forever be an oxymoron. He like Bernie are reformists attempting to salvage and rebrand Zionism. They are Jewish supremacists who will always prioritize Jewish lives at the expense of Palestinians.
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

Ask public housing residents in Chicago how they feel about tearing down their homes? Many never returned. Handing over a public asset to private developers is the wrong move for NY
the Fulton Elliott Chelsea redevelopment is one of the most promising housing proposals in the country right now.
NYC is rebuilding crumbling NYCHA buildings, doubling the density, and using the increased revenue to give every current NYCHA tenant a brand-new permanent home

I don't understand Black people who vote Republican. I sure as hell don't understand Black people on social services voting Republican and there a lot of them.

Governments that institutionalize anti-Blackness, mock and punish Black people for fighting anti-Blackness, refuse to teach about and apologize for historic anti-Blackness, have made it their priority to fight antisemitism.

The British government made a 27 point plan based on 29 kids.
Jesus fucking Christ.
All for Israel.
Jesus fucking Christ.
All for Israel.
Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?

There is no such thing as modern-day antisemitism! Baldwin said, 'I don't hate Jews because they're Jewish; I hate them because they mistreat Black people."

Jews had hospitals remove artwork by Palestinian children while politicians manufacture a fraudulent crisis of antisemitism to absolve the Jewish community of support for Israel.
Tackling antisemitism means more than responding after incidents occur. We must challenge prejudice before it takes hold.
That's why City Hall has invested £17m through the Shared Endeavour Fund, supporting groups like the Anne Frank Trust to educate young people and build resilience against hate.
