The status quo cannot continue in Gaza. Famine is imminent. I joined 50 NGO leaders to call on President Biden to use all leverage, including security assistance, to secure a series of steps that would help address this humanitarian catastrophe: rescue.org/press-release/…
WATCH: I just spoke to UT students protesting for peace in Gaza. "We must continue raising our voices, because no matter what Greg Abbott says, our movement is rooted in love."
“Laws of the school?” That’s not a thing. The inaccuracy of what constitutes a law in your statement is highly concerning, considering it is law enforcement putting their hands on kids. NYPD promised to not call counterterror SRG units on protests. It’s time to keep your word.

The assassination of political rivals as an official act. Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value. This is not a game.

No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children. You will not distract us from this immoral war.

Several here, like Reps. Lawler and D’Esposito, are vulnerable NY Republicans in tight seats. They have played a key role drumming up pressure to crack down on students and asymmetrically police Palestinian human rights speech. Those campus hearings? GOP-led. They need to lose.

Not only did Columbia make the horrific decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the units called in have some of the most violent reputations on the force. NYPD had promised the city they wouldn’t deploy SRG to protests. So why are these counterterror units here?

Sen. Sanders’ family was killed in the Holocaust. He dedicates his every moment to realizing tikkun olam. His commitment to protecting innocents in Gaza stems FROM his Jewish values. He and many other Jewish leaders deserve better than to be treated this way. This is shameful.

BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.
Calling in police enforcement on nonviolent demonstrations of young students on campus is an escalatory, reckless, and dangerous act. It represents a heinous failure of leadership that puts people’s lives at risk. I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.
I know this is being normalized extremely quickly, but let’s take a step back, put political analysis aside, and think about how insane this is. Students across the country are being arrested by actual police for sitting on the lawns of their universities with tents and signs.

Folks, whatever the Court does, having this case heard and the idea of having immunity for a military coup taken seriously by being debated is a big victory in the information war that MAGA and allies wage alongside legal battles. Authoritarians specialize in normalizing extreme…
Still can't quite digest that a former and possible future American president is telling the supreme court that he should have immunity to kill political rivals. Utterly surreal.
In Mexico we have this saying in social movements that I think we can see today with students’ encampments: “They took so much from us that they took away our fear.” 🔥✨❤️🔥
Fohlin’s husband, John Latting, is the Emory Dean of Admissions. This is going to be an interesting night in @EmoryUniversity’s top administrative echelons.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
Really important to remember as well, though, that some campuses are just letting their encampments continue without interference, and that at those campuses everything generally seems to be entirely fine.
It's kind of dizzying how fast these campuses are just throwing maximum cops at the encampments immediately, basically from jump
The *base budget* for the NYPD is $11 billion- not even including overtime & massive civil rights settlement payments. But he can't afford $58.3 million to keep public libraries open. Thats just .05% of the police budget. A budget is a statement of values. Eric Adams has…
Mayor Adams and his advisers confirm the executive budget doesn't reverse any of the $58.3 million in library cuts. Library leaders say this will result in elimination of universal six-day library service in NYC and other program cuts.
Might sound weird, but I think thousands of kids at elite universities from immense privilege risking their (earned or unearned) status for the lives of people they will never meet is breathtakingly beautiful
The status quo cannot continue in Gaza. Famine is imminent. I joined 50 NGO leaders to call on President Biden to use all leverage, including security assistance, to secure a series of steps that would help address this humanitarian catastrophe: rescue.org/press-release/…
“Whether you are a Muslim or Jewish, immigrant or native-born, Israeli or Palestinian, we believe your human life is worth protecting.” Proud to call @GregCasar my friend.
This, from @GregCasar, is the future of how Democrats will talk about Israel and Palestine
WATCH: I just spoke to UT students protesting for peace in Gaza. "We must continue raising our voices, because no matter what Greg Abbott says, our movement is rooted in love."
I am deeply proud to not just serve as an unapologetic Arab American Congresswoman but also to represent the largest Arab American community in our country. We hosted an Arab American Heritage Month reception to recognize our incredible heritage and culture.
Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions. Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
UT Austin published this video for Free Speech Week 6 mos ago. Q: Why can members of the public come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations A: State law in Texas allows members of the public...to come onto campus and use our common outdoor areas for speech activity
US Congressman @GregCasar joins the protest, calls for ceasefire “My message to the university is clear: students and faculty are not the enemy. Students and faculty are the university.”
It is not antisemitic to hold Mr. Netanyahu accountable for his actions in his horrific war against the Palestinian people.
Breaking: Dean of the Columbia Journalism School @jelani9 tells me that calls to bring the National Guard to this campus are OFF the table. Not part of ongoing encampment negotiations.
“Can you call the philosophy department and tell them I’ve been arrested?” is an all-time quote.
WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst
Something that drives me a little insane, I'll admit, is that Trump's OWN LAWYERS at his impeachment told the Senators to vote not to convict him BECAUSE he could be prosucuted if it came to that. Now they're arguing that the only way he could be prosecuted is if they convicted.
I've seen no credible reporting of actual antisemitic incidents at the UT Austin protest. What I can tell you is that I've reported on numerous neo-Nazi events and Greg Abbott never once tried to put any of them in jail.
Arrests being made right now & will continue until the crowd disperses. These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.
