i think what people might be missing? obscuring? is that KH is currently part of the biden-harris administration that is actively sending bombs right now, and should be pressured to stop it right now, in addition to what she pledges to do in the future as president

in the meantime the rest of CUNY is literally in shambles. elevators broken for years at a time, rats, mold, water damage, poor ventilation. and yet the BoT can allocate *millions* of dollars for urgent expenses when it comes to policing students!
The Great Moving Left Show@lucien_baskin

4 million dollars on new cops at City College—the way admin are using the encampment to drastically intensify policing on campus is terrifying.

It has to be assured that the workers who likely died in the bridge collapse “are all hard-working, humble men” because their humanity in this country is only worth their output. Their existence has to be justified even in such horrific undeserved circumstances.
Justin Fenton@justin_fenton

The missing men are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras & Mexico, and live in Dundalk & Highlandtown. They are in their 30s and 40s, he said, w spouses & children. All of them came to the city for a better life. “They are all hard-working, humble men" thebaltimorebanner.com/community/tran…

This is huge! The 3 major trade unions in Belgium—comprising over 3 million members—announced that they will refuse to transport weapons, by plane or sea, going to the Israel, citing the ongoing genocide in Palestine and calling out the hypocrisy of the Belgian government.

When the news talks about Biden proposing $60 billion "for Ukraine" and $14 billion "for Israel," an important omission is that this money is being recycled into for-profit weapons manufacturers owned by many of the wealthiest segments of the global population.

NEWS: Morehouse College—an HBCU in Georgia—took every dime of debt they had in collections and transferred it to us. Today, we're announced that we've canceled all of it. Now, nearly 3,000 people—mostly Black men—can access transcripts and move on with their lives.

They really believe and/or most people do not comprehend that a billion dollars is a THOUSAND MILLION dollars. Thirty million “saves” libraries while NYPD gets TEN THOUSAND million

The CBP members who tortured a family and killed a little girl are our “fellow” @AFLCIO affiliated Union members. We will *never* have solidarity with workers worldwide as long as our own union bureaucracies continue to not only support, but actively lobby for CBP funding
Pablo De La Rosa@pblodlr

The 8 year old migrant girl who died in Harlingen had been in CBP custody a full 6 days past what DHS policy allows—“Agents repeatedly ignored pleas to hospitalize her medically fragile daughter as she felt pain in her bones, struggled to breathe and was unable to walk.”

And yeah, we live in @CMShahanaHanif district and I voted to spend $350,000 to plant 100 trees. I would prefer she just voted against giving NYPD billions and defunding our child’s public school.

Construction value is not the measure of the success of a city or its mayor. Residents can't eat and drink new construction. They aren't educated by it. It doesn't lift them out of poverty. It doesn't put fluoride in the water or take lead out of it. And it doesn't pay the rent.
