They’re wrong.
New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe.
If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

I know there is a lot to think & feel through at the moment. Let’s slow down, verify information is accurate & created by humans before sharing.
I spoke with the BBC about how disinformation spreads, especially in times of conflict and political division. When people are faced with binary choices, they're more likely to share content that aligns with their identity. And the more emotional or sensational it is, the faster it spreads.

Those in power fear resilient, nonviolent, mass rebellion that exposes their vulnerabilities, breaks down the perception that they are invincible, and maintains unity and discipline under pressure.
We must build that, across groups, organizations, and communities.

Just use bottled water please.
Just use bottled water please.
Timely reminder that the treatment for chemical weapons like tear gas and pepper spray is:
1) remove from active contamination (get them out of the cloud of teargas, remove outer layers of clothing if possible)
2) flush eyes with ONLY clean water. Wash skin and hair with water and soap.
