IT'S. NOT. A. BITTER. DISPUTE. It's a one-sided authoritarian assault on a private institution. What are we doing here, and what is journalism, anyway?

NEW: 549 Palestinians now killed in the last 30 days. Itself shocking. But, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS KILLED AT A FOOD AID STATION. A unique war crime. Firing squads using aid as bait. Palestinians in #Gaza face two choices: starve to death, or risk death to get food. 🧵

This is HORRIBLE framing, and it is frankly disgusting to presume Jews would naturally be on the opposing side of an American left fighting for justice and equality in NY and around the world - especially Gaza.

Zohran's win has a message for national Dems, if they can hear it. Campaign on an aspirational platform that you actually believe in, wear your true politics on your sleeve, don't equivocate or triangulate or throw people under the bus in the name of attracting 'undecideds'.

A week and a half ago, no one would have said America bombing Iran was anything but crazy. But Bibi Netanyahu successfully got Donald Trump to bring the United States into a war against Iran with almost no debate in America, something Bibi has wanted for decades. Just unbelievable.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.
