The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…
Via @nytopinion: @CUNYLaw @SteveZeidman calls out governors nationwide for failing to use clemency powers—even as Trump abuses his. “The correct response is to demand governors… use them on behalf of those who clearly warrant that measure of humanity.” nytimes.com/2025/07/11/opi…
“The correct response to Mr. Trump’s misuse of clemency is…to demand that goverors who have similar powers use them on behalf of those who clearly warrant that measure of humanity.” In the past year, Gov. Hochul granted clemency to just one person. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/opi…
Starvation takes time to kill. Severely malnourished babies don’t usually cry because their bodies don’t have the energy. You might think the worst thing is the sounds of a starving baby’s cries. But it’s actually the absence of that sound, when the starvation has silenced them.
Baltimore has been investing youth programming, including late night programs, summer camps, teen jobs, sports, after school programs, etc. Homicides in the city are down 40%, with steep drops in robberies, carjackings, and shootings. This should be talked about more.
The 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza is an inhumane detainment center holding law abiding New Yorkers against their will, 67% of whom have not been convicted or charged with any crimes. Seizures, one meal a day, and people defecating blood is what this floor is filled with
I’m obsessed with @errollouis promoting this interview with our next mayor by doing a @OsseChi @ZohranKMamdani walk and talk to the camera.
In an exclusive NY1 interview with @errollouis on @InsideCityHall, Zohran Mamdani addressed attacks from Trump and clarified his stance on the phrase “globalize the intifada.” Watch the full interview: specne.ws/msBnDq
It's beyond shameful that @GovKathyHochul held up the entire state budget to try to unravel discovery reforms when it turns out the evidence prosecutors needed was sitting in barrels in an NYPD warehouse all along. #CopsLie #CloseRikers
In a 251-page lawsuit, former NYPD Commissioner Tom Donlon alleges that he was nearly-assaulted by another department official during a photo op, spies were assigned to monitor him and that his wife was illegally arrested: bit.ly/46foXQW

In it to win it.
A Bronx mother is desperate for answers after her teenage daughter mysteriously died while in NYPD custody over the July 4 holiday weekend. @wallernyc has the exclusive story. cbsloc.al/4nza2XR
NY state prisons have a staffing ratio, as of 7/1/25, of 2.8, meaning they are as richly staffed or more richly staffed than more than half of the last two decades. Yet programs are routinely canceled because of "lack of staff". Worth investigating IMHO.
I mean the JOY of this all. NYC is absolutely with @ZohranKMamdani
In it to win it.
The impunity of policing is a feature, not a bug. The solution is to get police out of our lives in every way we can. gothamist.com/news/tisch-ove…
I just cannot believe the response from leadership is “we sure can talk for a long time” unbelievable. Primary them all.
BIG: Rep. Jeffries has broken the record for the longest speech on the House floor fighting this betrayal by Republicans. Democrats in the Senate and House have now held the floor in each chamber showing just how much Republicans are betraying America. In July and August, we…
Truly one of the best days out there. I come at it from the Pittsburgh Pirates lifelong fandom of hating when the Bonilla/van slyke/bonds outfield was broken up. A tragedy 2nd only to Sid Bream absolutely being tagged out at home plate. Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!
Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Bobby gets his 15th installment of $1,193,248.20 today. The Mets have so far paid him $17,898,723 for him to NOT PLAY the 2000 season. There is 10 years and $10,739,284 left.

Today, Palestinian photojournalist Ismail Abuhatab was killed along with 19 other Palestinians, most of them journalists, artists, and social media activists, in an Israeli airstrike on al-Baqa Cafe on the beach in western Gaza. @RamAbdu points out, “It’s increasingly clear that…
