When the mass deportation began, I said every day for a month or so that you cannot have a mass deportation without forced disappearances, family separation, rape, child molestation, & intentional death. A mass deportation is the definition of human rights atrocities. 🧵

Exactly, once due process and habeas corpus are out the window, citizenship doesn't matter. All they have to do now is ACCUSE you of being here illegally, and they can arrest and disappear you for good. If proof of citizenship emerges retroactively, well. They can't tell El Salvador what to do

[deep breath] The predictive model was EVERYTHING THEY SAID. IN PUBLIC. FOR YEARS. People whose imaginations begin and end with political theory, who see the lives of others as abstractions, had every chance to listen. Instead, you kept talking because it didn’t impact you.

I'm not sure what else he could say. I have my problems with the phrase, but I'm not the mayor or would-be mayor of New York. The relentlessness with which the press will not let this go is not helping anyone, Muslim or Jewish. And it truly is a distraction from really serious issues right now.

Well I'm Jewish I don't agree with @ericswalwell.bsky.social's decision to be a fucking liar, and I definitely trust Zohran Mamdani more than I trust Eric Swalwell's defamatory ass

We live in a society that frowns upon empathy and mocks striving for an empathetic society as "unrealistic" and "impractical." But unmitigated cruelty and greed is fine, and we don't bat an eye? A few people hoarding all the wealth at everyone else's expense is not unrealistic or impractical?

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Every elected offical and every journalist shpuld be required to read this whole transcript before lying about what Mamdani has said or not said. The Islamophobia is off the charts. Come on people, take a deep breath and pay attention.

The team at @immdef.bsky.social has spent all morning desperately searching for Juli, a mom of 3 US citizens who has lived in LA for 21 years. 3 nights ago Juli was on her way to work when she was forcibly taken at gunpoint by men who in a short call to family she described as “bounty hunters.” 🧵

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.

I thought the Mamdani-Lander cross endorsement was inspiring on its face but seeing already how Mamdani showed up to protest Lander’s bs arrest and now Lander is speaking out against the panic-mongering even within his own party…wow it’s like politics can have actual principles.

Don't forget that the Supreme Court has undertaken this radical expansion of executive power and personal immunity not for some ordinary Republican but for the most corrupt president In American history. They're doing it for THIS GUY, who is guaranteed to abuse every ounce of power he's given.

It's fine to ask @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about "globalize the intifada." But per @nymag.com Israel has committed "hundreds, if not thousands, of war crimes in Gaza." Cuomo is Netanyahu's lawyer. What does it say about the media's view of Palestinian life that that's considered less important?
