I have said this for awhile: the democratic party’s general unwillingness to allow healthy dissent on the issue of Palestine will allow the fascists to “get ahead” on the issue because the antisemitic groyper faction is tolerated in the party and allowed to dissent.

Pretty incredible own goal by liberal institutions and many Democratic electeds to crush the exact type of protests in 2024 that would’ve been the most effective way to slow or stop ICE incursions into American cities in 2025

I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

Great thread on housing in NYC. Landlords want renters to shoulder the debt accrued by landlords, and get pissy about Mamdani because his rent freeze policy would prevent them from offloading their debt costs as they wish.
The problem, in other words, is entirely about debt, not the actual costs of providing rental housing. The problem is that building owners expected rents to rise faster than they turned out to, and took out bigger loans than the actual rent increases could justify.

The first "famine" in history where the occupying power could probably give any of the victims a still-warm Domino's Pizza at any time if it wanted to:
While all of Gaza starves and the entry of aid is prohibited, American mercenaries with the assistance of an IDF armored convoy are able to bring Domino’s pizza in when they feel like it.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.
And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.
