As a New York City resident - this was not the week for me to find out that Spotify was running ICE ads. I hope everyone joins the #boycott #spotify

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread.

The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.
Gaza City officially in famine, says global hunger monitor
Gaza City and surrounding areas are officially suffering from famine, and it will likely spread, a global hunger monitor determined on Friday, an assessment that will escalate pressure on Israel to allow more aid into the Palestinian enclave.

Us cynical realist intellectual goth vibing Libras ♎️ tolerate the basic pink coded memes online - until people discover Jenna Ortega is a Libra ♎️- and collectively we should take that moment to say: Now What Bishes?

Don’t tell me you love being Boricua and love Puerto Rico and then vote for Cuomo - Boricua que se respeta protege nuestras playas. #boricua #boricuas #puertorico #nyc it’s all in the receipts 🧾 right here on this video. Roosevelt Roads should be returned to Puerto Ricans who care about the land

I urge everyone who is understandably disturbed by the petition news to consider how very unlikely it is for the Court to even take this up, much less reverse Obergefell. Unlike abortion, marriage opponents don’t have the same social movement that anti-abortion forces did, which was core to the GOP.
Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

Im not going to hold your hand when I say this...
Any cis het white Trump voter who said they support gay rights lied to you.

They only say that to get your support, then turn right around and remove your rights along with everyone else

Its the white christian way

I've been married to the same woman for over 40 years.

What has that got to do with my support for gay marriage=

Consider what it would feel like if a group of hateful bigots managed to legally separate my wife and I?

Imagine the hurt, the harm.

I don't wish that on anyone in love.

So apparently Andrew Cuomo forgot that in the Housing Lottery there are income brackets - so the apartments separated for a family of 2 earning 200k is not one where the theoretical homeless mother with a Fheps voucher can move into-because he doesn’t live here- #NewYorkPolitics
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

Dozens of federal officers in tactical gear were deployed to LA’s MacArthur Park, in a neighborhood with a large immigrant population. It wasn’t immediately known if any arrests were made.

“What I saw in the park today looked like a city under siege, under armed occupation,” said Mayor Karen Bass.

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.
