@arash_tehran BDS is mostly virtue signaling in the West. Omar Barghouti went to U of Tel Aviv as he called for an academic boycott of Israeli universities. Not a single Palestinian trade union supports BDS. Comparisons w the ANC’s calls for boycotts in SA are vacuous

Devastating critique of BDS by Faisal Devji

@RepDanGoldman I think you mean Israel must BECOME democratic. A democracy by definition cannot occupy another people. Period. Full stop.

Absolutely abhorrent. This law unambiguously creates a two tiered system of justice based entirely on which form of extremism is deemed acceptable. I pray Israeli courts do the right thing and strike it down. Israel’s future must remain democratic. Its survival depends on it. nytimes.com/2026/03/30/wor…

@Suzierizzo1 Power to the People

Holy Hell broke out in Rockland County,NewYork at the town hall meeting of Republican Mike Lawler after some Veterans stood up & told him how they feel about him & Trump! So Lawler decides to have them all kicked out & that made it even worse for him! He finally had to leave!

@TheMoneyApe The OBBB was the largest transfer of wealth to the billionaire class in American History. The 1 percent now owns more wealth than the bottom 93 percent. Truly unprecedented

🚨 POWELL BIG WARNING 🚨 FED CHAIR POWELL: U.S. DEBT IS GROWING MUCH FASTER THAN THE ECONOMY & CALLS IT “NOT SUSTAINABLE.” ALSO WARNS: “IT WILL NOT END WELL IF WE DON’T ACT SOON.” U.S. DEBT ~$39 TRILLION WITH INTEREST COSTS ~$1 TRILLION A YEAR. TRUMP MAY LOSE MID… Show more

@JohnTeufelNYC Does he still take AIPAC money? What about Big Pharma money? 🤷‍♀️

This guy always says some variant of this and then you ask him what the Democrats should be doing and he's like "Be leaders!" or "Find common ground!" He never actually SAYS anything. It's quite striking honestly.

@RamAbdu May his memory be a blessing

Palestinian detainee Marwan Fathi Harzallah (54), from Al-Ain camp in Nablus, has died in Israeli custody following severe torture.

@yeselson @nikhil_palsingh Wonder how @CoryBooker will vote 😂

@nikhil_palsingh We will see how the Dem senators who want to be president vote.

Better late than never?

@JohnTeufelNYC Or maybe bc Hasan understands that we live in a 2-party system, not a parliamentary one. The last time a third party replaced one of the 2 parties was the 1850s when the Republican P replaced the Whigs. The No-Nothing Party was a contributory factor

I think these centrists don't understand that Hasan really is the nice way. Certainly he's a lot friendlier to the Democrats than I am. My preference is a third party, Hasan still thinks the Democrats have value.

@GoodVibePolitik Don’t yell at me - I think Ossoff would be a very interesting contender

Astounding how bad this lineup is

@RossBarkan Ever read CLR James’ Beyond a Boundary?

The guy out with a new book about the Mets as Marxist praxis met the HellGate reporter in Bushwick. I cannot - I cannot - believe it.

@nikhil_palsingh Brilliant

Love this.

@AnaliliaForNJ Has @EspaillatNY agreed to refuse/return all money he has received from DFMI and/or AIPAC? And stop voting to fund the extermination of Palestinians in Gaza AND the West Bank. At minimum

Politicians should be working for the people they represent—not the billionaire class or lobbyists. The deck is stacked against working people because of big money in politics. That’s why I don’t take a dime from PACs, and I’m ready to fight for you, not special interests.

@JohnTeufelNYC Unfortunately authenticity or lack of sleaziness will not necessarily disqualify a candidate. There are better ppl out there but with PACs/Dark Money, ie oligarchs buying elections “we” will have to have to demonstrate an ability to create a big enough tent to beat ppl like GN

This guy is not going to be President. He's so inauthentic. He oozes it out of his pores, he's like a used car salesman. People don't like politicians like this anymore. He will wilt under the glare of a campaign spotlight.

@yankie_review @shannonrwatts More like $30 mil

@shannonrwatts Good for Jamaal. Aipac spent $20 million against him, and hired Hillary Clinton to help campaign against the incumbent.

@ElishaWiesel This is not hatred of Jews. It is lover of justice. As a Jewish American I say when the oppressed becomes the oppressor all of us must stand up and stop it. Otherwise we can’t claim to have learned anything at all from Jewish suffering

"Through the infamous Durban conference, History is giving us Jews a signal. And we had better learn to decode it." - Elie Wiesel ### Today, Mayor Mamdani celebrated St. Patrick's Day by spreading the vicious blood libel against the Jews, claiming that we had perpetrated a genocide in Gaza. He platformed and praised Mary Robinson, the previous President of Ireland, whose leadership of UNHCR was forever marked by the stain of the antisemitic Durban conference, from which the American delegation resigned in protest. Read here what my father wrote in September 2001, days before 9/11, expressing his profound disappointment in Mary Robinson and the hatred against Jews she had allowed to foment at Durban through the United Nations. Elisha Wiesel - March 17th, 2026 ### FROM ELIE WIESEL'S PRIVATE ARCHIVES: The Durban Conference will go down in History as an enterprise of shame. Instead of being an important international gathering of goodwill, it became a circus of slander. Conceived as a world gathering against hatred, it turned into a mean spirited meeting of hatred. I was supposed to be there. Both Kofi Annan and Mary Robinson tried their best to persuade me, especially since I was a member of the small "Committee of Eminent Persons", created by the UN High Commissioner, to help with the proceedings. But when I read the working documents I resigned. Antisemitism, which is the oldest group prejudice in History, didn't even figure in the program. What did figure was something about "holocausts such as the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the Israelis". Mrs Robinson called me several times. I had lunch with the UN Secretary General, whom I had known for years. I explained to both why I simply cannot be part of an event that is so outrageously anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish. They claimed that the language would be changed. But the trouble was the content. I warned the UN Secretary General that the Conference, the way it was being prepared, will remain a moral disaster in the annals of social and political conduct among nations. For the content was sheer vicious hatred whose reverberations must revolt all decent and civilized people. Secretary Powell and his colleagues were outraged. Their courageous stand deserves support and praise. The American and Israeli delegations left; others did not. I wish European and South-American delegations had followed their example. Their explanation is that they will work from the inside to work out another draft resolution. It's too late. The damage was done. Hatred is like cancer. It goes from cell to cell, from limb to limb, from person to person, from group to group. We have seen it at work in Durban. Even respected personalities such as Kofi Annan somehow lost his way and said things that are unworthy of him. With the Durban scandal in the background, how can the world expect Israel to trust the United Nations? And how can good people, idealistic people have faith in its mission to bring nations together in an atmosphere of dignity? The Durban conference will be remembered as a forum dominated not by anti-Israelis but by antisemites. That militant Palestinians hate Jews that is known. It is enough to hear the various Islamic leaders harangues and read schoolbooks printed by the Palestinian Authority: they preach hatred and violence not against Zionists but against Jews. Their slogan, naked and brutal, which is everywhere the same, has been felt and heard in Durban too: "Kill the Jews!" What hurts is not that Palestinians and Arabs voiced their hatred but that so few delegates had the courage to dissociate themselves from them. It is as if in a weird and frightening moment of collective catharsis, they all dropped their masks and showed their true faces. Through the infamous Durban conference, History is giving us Jews a signal. And we had better learn to decode it. Elie Wiesel - September 4th, 2001

@admcrlsn He did run as a “progressive” for gov of NJ. And his predecessor at the Partnership supported or at least was willing to work w Mamdani. Why he’s taken this rightward turn is anyone’s guess. Fulop is wrong btw. Ppl don’t live in NYC bc of low taxes

I’m old enough to remember when Fulop was an actual progressive as Jersey City Mayor & candidate for NJ-Gov, instead of a paid apologist for the mega-wealthy & business interests. And that was just last year. Either he was being disingenuous then, or he’s being disingenuous now

@jacobkornbluh @katie_honan Oh no!

📸 Michael Blake, challenging Ritchie Torres and who cross-endorsed Zohran Mamdani last year, poses w/radio host Sid Rosenberg, who called mayor a “jihadist” & recently apologized 4 calling him a “cockroach.” In radio intvw, Blake called K Harris’s comment on Jamaicans “racist.”

@katewillett If NYC DSA, particularly BUM DSA, were to lose their purity streak and engage honestly w intellectualism and practice (praxis) I would consider rejoining

No tendency should be expelled from DSA. The left won control of the national org and works respectfully with the right- they both add to each other. That is all we ask in NYC, as well as for robust democratic structures so leadership may reflect the will of members.

@ProudSocialist @TariqAli_News The White House and the government is run by irreligious fanatics

Rubio: “Iran is run by religious fanatics.” The White House right now:

@StreetsblogNYC @lpolgreen If this is accompanied by residential parking it would help those of us living outside of congesting pricing areas and near bridge and tunnel conduits
