I met with Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student at Columbia University, who was imprisoned for 104 days by the Trump administration for opposing Netanyahu’s illegal & horrific war in Gaza. Outrageous. We must not allow Trump to destroy the First Amendment & freedom to dissent.

I’m running for State Senate bc the people of Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst & Jackson Heights deserve leadership that listens, builds trust & delivers for Queens. I am unwavering in my values & will never stop fighting for equity, dignity & justice. ➡️ bit.ly/jgr2026
One month after his release from ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil is on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers. “I feel that this is my duty to continue advocating for Palestinians—this is what the Trump administration tried to do—they tried to silence me. But I'm here to say that we…

Guess what else I found hidden on this corporate primary challenger's website: georgehornedo.com/crypto Seems like the 2 highest spending lobbies in Dem primaries (AIPAC & Crypto) are encouraging candidates to (quietly) promise loyalty in exchange for unlimited Super PAC support.
imagine reading headlines like this every single day and thinking the protest language endorsed by an nyc mayoral candidate is a greater threat to human decency

Being the mayor of New York is brutal—even if you're not a 33-year-old Muslim democratic socialist. Zohran Mamdani will have to pull off an incredibly difficult balancing act if he wins. @_waleedshahid has some ideas about how to do it. thenation.com/article/politi…
