Tell Your Democratic Senator(s) to Make Sure Schumer Doesn't Hand Trump a Blank Check act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade. As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on October 18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say NO KINGS. We hope you will join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Join us for a very exciting Jewish Voter Canvass kickoff next week Wednesday August 27th✨ We are less than 12 weeks from the general election ‼️ Talk to Jewish voters about the issues that matter to them and how NYC can win a progressive future we deserve! Learn more and rsvp at jfrej.org/field

Block the Bombs to Israel rootsaction.org/block-the-bo...

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York. ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

If you believe all human beings are created b’tzelem Elohim, in God’s image, then you must speak up now against the daily atrocities in Gaza. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

This level of barbarity is unconscionable. Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death. It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

THREAD: Are you seeing what we’re seeing? Israel is starving everyone in Gaza. Deliberately. That’s a population of over 2 million people, nearly half of whom are children, forced to go without enough food and water for months on end. #StopStarvingGaza

“85% of Gaza’s population have entered the ‘fifth stage’ of malnutrition — the most critical and dangerous phase, which is often irreversible even if food becomes available in the future,” says Palestinian reporter Anas al-Sharif.

Heading into NYC for a live shot, and this is the sign on one of the overpasses

As the daily mass kidnappings of our immigrant neighbors continue at 26 Federal Plaza, 25,000 NYers stood (and sat) together to demand the end of the disappearances at immigration court — and for NYS to protect every single NYer. Text "Action" to 52866 to join the fight

Lunacy. They just funded Trump’s private army.

We are out here in midtown with our Muslim neighbors, standing outside @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social’s Manhattan office to demand she apologize to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and all her constituents for her racist, anti-Muslim remarks. Stop trying to divide Jewish & Muslim NYers, Senator!

CALLING ALL JEWS FOR ZOHRAN! Sign up now to pledge to help elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Mayor of New York in November: jfrej.org/jews4zohran #JewsForZohran #MayorMamdani

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Take your masks off ICE, show us how proud you are adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

It is true that sometimes New York City is frightening. For example today these men were loitering in the hallway of the 12th floor of the federal building.

This AM, I was at immigration court with @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, @bradlander.bsky.social, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social, and @votejgr.bsky.social. Masked ICE agents are still pulling our neighbors away from their families. What's happening is a moral failure. We can't treat it like business as usual.

I got mad and I wrote about it.

Election Day is June 24th! Here’s a voter guide to help you as you cast your ballot. We’re so proud to have endorsed both @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @bradlander.bsky.social in a dual, un-ranked endorsement. Rank them both at the top of your ballot and remember: #DontRankCuomo!

NEW: In the Mahmoud Khalil case, Judge Farbiarz orders the government to give him a COMPLETE LIST of every time since 1975 it has invoked the secretary of state's power to deport someone for foreign-policy reasons—including a description of each case's facts and a copy of the official determination.

Don’t just hope New Yorkers refuse to elect Cuomo & Adams…help make it happen! JFREJ members are canvassing every weekend all over the city to talk to Jewish voters about our vision for NYC, and why a progressive mayor is a big part of how we win it. Sign up: jfrej.org/field

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

If you’re not fighting against mask bans because you think they “only” apply to those committing crimes… consider the following: Who decides who’s committing a crime? The police. POC who mask will be disproportionately targeted. Who decides if your medical exemption is “good enough”? Police 🧵

🧵🚨BREAKING: Nearly HALF of unpaid home care workers face eviction as CDPAP payment crisis enters 3rd week Governor Hochul and state legislators MUST take immediate emergency action before this payment crisis becomes a homelessness crisis. @AndreaSCousins @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social

Incredible question from a constituent at a Mike Lawler Town hall

⚠️ URGENT: Despite recently speaking out against Trump using antisemitism as a pretext for cracking down on academic freedom, @schumer.senate.gov is co-sponsoring a bill that will further help Trump use antisemitism as an excuse to advance his authoritarian agenda. Tell Schumer to VOTE NO on S.558!

Why can't my senator @schumer.senate.gov understand the value of free speech? I guess it is as @peterbeinart.bsky.social says: "Schumer Cannot Meet the Moment. In his book on antisemitism [he] offers a vision of progress w/o popular struggle that profoundly underestimates the Trump threat.

Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi remains in detention. His classmate Mahmoud Khalil was not even allowed to see his baby born last night. Hours later, nearly 200 US schools "speak with one voice" in defense of their students and faculty. And Columbia refuses to sign it:

This is how you do it.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Stop Hochul from banning masks in NY. @nyclu.org has a phone zap 1pm bit.ly/422nomaskpho....

MA congressional delegation visited Rümeysa and Mahmoud in Louisiana. @schumer.senate.gov @nadler.house.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social When are you going? whdh.com/news/members...

Earlier today, NYC Jews joined with our friends in @socialists.nyc @nychange.bsky.social, and with @juliasalazar.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and more to demand #NY4All and #DignityNotDetention. Gov. Hochul & the state legislature must act to keep New Yorker safe from ICE & deportation!

BREAKING: Over 50,000 New Yorkers shut down Madison Ave to demand “Hands Off Migrants, Hands Off the Planet”, in the lead up to Earth Day. Free Mahmoud, Free Kilmar, Free Mohsen, Free Rumeysa, free them all! #HandsOffMigrants #HandsoffthePlanet

The NYT confirms this photo was intentionally staged: "A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Van Hollen and Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

"We've seen a surge of people who want to show up. Our ICE Watch trainings are packed. Synagogues are organizing. There's more awareness, more resolve. New Yorkers are stepping up." Powerful reporting from @etannechin.bsky.social in @haaretzcom.bsky.social on Jewish immigrant rights organizing.

When I reported a long 2021 piece about Cuomo, a thing that many people who worked for him for years told me about (besides the corruption, incompetence & cruel domination tactics) was that he & those in his senior circles JUST DIDN'T CARE about policy, or about actually getting anything done.

Cuomo's reputation for "competence" is a totally imaginary media creation, designed to dupe liberals in a blue area into electing a conservative. His governorship was a series of embarrassing fuckups! Over and over! Didn't matter because media understood alternative to Cuomo would be a progressive

As an emigre to the Garden State, I no longer have a dog in this fight, but from the sidelines I applaud any effort to stop Andrew Cuomo from returning to power. That guy needs to take his galactic ego and go away. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/n...

Couldn't be clearer that — just like #MahmoudKhalil & #RümeysaÖztürk — #MohsenMahdawi is persecuted for his political speech & identity. DO NOT play "Good Palestinian/Bad Palestinian" or "Good Immigrant/Bad Immigrant" here. If you care about democracy, speak out without qualifiers. Raise hell. NOW.

"ICE took our students, we want them back," @aaup professors from NYU/Columbia among other universities chant, marching to Foley Square.

“NO FASCISTS, NO PHARAOHS!” In honor of Passover, NYC Jews, allies, and elected officials are rallying and marching against modern, would-be Pharaohs — Andrew Cuomo, Donald Trump, and Eric Adams — and for a better future for ALL New Yorkers. ✊ #SederInTheStreets
