If you made a horror movie in which the bad guys sent flying robots to drop grenades on women and children taking refuge in tents, it would seem too comically evil to be believable. But that's what Israel is doing in real life, right now, every day.

Journalist Abdel Qader Sabbah reports Israeli occupation vehicles are advancing in Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City, as explosive-laden robots are detonated and shelter centers are evacuated under threat of bombing. A state of fear and panic prevails among residents.

On this beautiful Saturday in Brooklyn, it was honor to receive the endorsement of Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (@voteyvette.bsky.social). "Unlike his opponents, I have no doubt that Assemblyman Mamdani will never surrender this city...for the sake of his own self-preservation."

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Carr: We're going to back to that era where local TV stations, judging the public interest, get to decide what the American people think… I don’t think this is the last shoe to drop… the consequences will continue to flow.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.

A decision on Trump's pet project-- the Williams-NESE gas pipeline could be imminent. Take 2 minutes to call @governor.ny.gov TODAY to express your opposition to this costly pipeline that will raise our energy bills, poison our beaches and worsen the climate crisis!

About two weeks ago, 18-year old Onyx and her pet cat Sammy were killed by his father. Their mother is now trying to raise funds for a memorial service in celebration of her life. If you'd like to help a grieving family, they have a GoFundMe you can contribute to or share: gofund.me/334f279c

Yesterday's assemblage was a cross section of Massachusetts Jewry, representing many congregations, beliefs, relationships to Israel & Zionism. But they agreed on this: Israel’s actions are unbearable, a desecration. This is not Judaism. Photos by Emily Glick

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

Eight more children starved to death What needs to happen for the world to wake up?? Like seriously

This program wouldn't subsidize the rich. The rich would pay for it with their taxes.

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.

Yesterday I was so PROUD to stand with LGBTQ+ New Yorkers alongside my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

My heart breaks for the two teenage girls shot outside Stonewall Inn last night after NYC Pride. One remains in critical condition. While we await further details, I pray for their recoveries.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

MAZEL TOV @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!!!!

Very proud to be a Jew for Shahana and to have canvassed for @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social. (I don't know if I'm the Katie named in this post, because there were 2 of us.) Last night we showed that solidarity beats division!

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

The FBI has launched politically motivated criminal investigations into 3 children's hospitals over providing gender affirming care to trans youth by absurdly citing an inapplicable female genital mutilation statute. archive.ph/FqpS0

he's right and he's right to say it

but wait i thought that was an unelectable position we needed to relent on so we could focus on the REAL issues americans care about, such as being governed exclusively by senile sex offenders

Progressive Jews said hell no to fearmongering and racism and chose the person who’s best for our city. It feels so good to have a voice.
