I have met few people as dedicated to Tikkun Olam as @ShahanaFromBK. Her ability to bring people together in the spirit of repairing our world has always inspired me. As a Jewish New Yorker, it was such a privilege to work for her and an even greater one to consider her a friend.

Mass graves uncovered in Gaza show victims’ hands were tied before they were killed and buried. Among the dead are doctors, zip tied and still wearing their scrubs. Further evidence of Israeli forces extrajudicially executing Palestinian civilians. news.un.org/en/story/2024/…
This is such an objectively insane connection to make!! Words escape me for anyone who is taking this guy seriously.
"What do you say to a young progressive or an Arab-American who says to you, 'I just can't vote for Biden again after what he's enabled in Gaza.'? Listen to a detailed, thoughtful, & important answer to my Q from @AOC at the Zeteo launch. (Do try & actually listen & not assume!)
History doesn’t look kindly on what Columbia did to their students in the 60s and it won’t look kindly on what they’re doing to them now.
Hundreds of Black migrants lined up today outside New York City Hall ahead of a council hearing on their experiences. This isn't even the entire crowd.
🚨BREAKING 🚨 With a budget deal just moments away, New York Chapter Co-Chairs, @michelehirsch9 and Robin Wilt, released the following statement on behalf of the organizing committee. We refuse to allow this terrible housing to be pushed through without opposition. Read more 👇
Cutting $250 million from #CleanWater projects across the state isn't just unpopular, it's bad policy. @GovKathyHochul's cuts are putting New Yorkers' health and jobs on the line when our state needs serious infrastructure investments to ensure clean water for years to come.

The solution to homelessness is a stable home – not jail. 150+ local elected officials signed onto this brief reminding SCOTUS that #HousingFirst is the most humane & effective way to address homelessness. 🧵 📝: localprog.org/GrantsPassBrief #JohnsonvGrantsPass #HousingNotHandcuffs
It’s the NY Presidential primary. Here’s what you need to do if registered Democrat: 1) Find your polling site: voterlookup.elections.ny.gov 2) Visit before 9 PM tonight 3) Take your blank ballot directly to the scanner
Many New Yorkers are struggling with the question of whether to vote in Tuesday’s primary. Don’t stay home. Use your voice to send a message to the President that he must use his full leverage to end the violence in Gaza. Text BLANK to 30403
AIPAC's stranglehold on Congress has left little wiggle room for even symbolic measures opposing the ongoing slaughter in Gaza. Instead, it's local leaders who are offering a clear moral opposition to Israel's horrific war against the Palestinian people.

Starving a million innocent people to death by halting and slowing US humanitarian assistance is massive, deliberate choice. Not only is it irrelevant to those objectives, it brings them further out of reach and endangers hostages. There is no defense for forced famine.

NYC-DSA is joining the #LeaveitBlank coalition! We urge voters to submit a blank ballot in the NY Democratic Presidential Primary on April 2 (early voting March 23–30) to send a message loud and clear: New Yorkers do not support genocide. Take action NOW: linktr.ee/nyc_dsa
Graphic scenes: An Israeli army drone pursued four civilian youths who attempted to reach their destroyed homes and killed them with missiles in Khan Younis at the start of last February.
Republicans in power have given up trying to convince voters their policies are more effective and instead have gone straight to outlawing progressive policies on the local level. Preemption like this is a shameful abuse of power that will only embolden the fight for justice.

Absolutely sick to watch people twist Jonathan Glazer’s courageous words to make it out as if he is rejecting his Jewish identity. It’s the opposite. He used his platform to make it clear that his Jewishness compels him to speak out against Israel’s occupation & assault on Gaza.
In @GovKathyHochul’s NY the price of riding the subway is submitting to have your civil rights violated. If Hochul can’t govern without abusing our civil rights or capitulating to manufactured crime panics, she should step down and “go home”. Let us ride the subway in peace.

Peace will come when the Israelis will love their children more than they hate the Palestinians.
“In retrospect we found out that Hamas offered on the 9th or 10th of October to release all the civilians in their hands if the IDF won’t enter the Gaza Strip, but the government rejected the offer.”
I couldn’t be prouder to join my fellow socialist electeds as we stand in solidarity with the ever-growing numbers of students peacefully protesting for a free Palestine.
13 socialist elected officials across NY State are issuing this joint statement condemning the repression of student protestors & standing in solidarity with student encampments for a free Palestine: bit.ly/sio4-26
snacks at the cuny encampment are being stored in a kirkland brand omeprazole pallet and people still have the audacity to act like this movement doesn’t have jewish people in it
“To get to our students, you have to get through us.” Incredibly inspiring courage and solidarity from these professors, and a perfect emblem of why the right wing is dead set on defunding CUNY.
Faculty have formed a human barrier between their CUNY students and campus police.
Incredibly xenophobic, racist chants here. How many electeds will condemn these hateful pro-Israel protesters? Will the students who are being berated by these chants receive a sit-down visit from the Governor? This crowd MUST be representative of all pro-Israel protestors.
Here’s another video where you can more clearly hear the pro-Israel crowd chanting “go to Gaza” at Columbia students through the gate
College isn’t just about the lessons you learn in the classroom. A lot of education on politics and power this week
so many moments of beauty in the past week. god bless these kids.

In response to a recent op-ed, I want to set the record straight: I vehemently oppose antisemitism and hate violence. To my Jewish neighbors: I stand with you, always. nydailynews.com/2024/04/21/rea…
I’m sure this will be covered with the same breathless concern as the randos on the street who said go back to Poland.
I’m inside the Columbia campus now, and the pro-Israel crowd is yelling through the gates at students. “Stop wasting mommy and daddy’s money!” “You want to camp? Go camp in Gaza!” “Go back to Gaza!”
you’re a disgusting liar @JGreenblattADL. i grew up in a conservative synagogue, participated in USY, went to a jewish summer camp. i’m a US born and bred jew and those values are what propelled me to join @jvplive. you’re a monster, you should be ashamed.

Today, the United States is aiding and abetting the destruction of the Palestinian people.
Working and middle-class New Yorkers are suffering through a historic affordability crisis. As the Progressive Caucus, we are laser-focused on fighting for a budget that invests in housing and defends education. This Executive Budget shows just how much farther we have to go.
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.

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.
Bernie, now do AntiSemitism. Why so quiet?

State governments should seek to use power to set a floor for equity across the state. We join LP Members in Minnesota in expressing our extreme disappointment in this missed opportunity to revoke decades of harmful housing policy across the state. minnesotareformer.com/2024/04/04/dfl…
