Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

Of course I agree with Kevin as we limp along at CUNY hobbled by decades of under-funding. It hasn't been costless. I am not feeling sanguine given the Dems even in blue states have decided public higher ed = vocational training. But will I stop pushing the Dems on it? No.

It's great that what I'm seeing on the news about the flood is police & insurance companies focusing on ppl who might have driven a car they didn't want into flood water. And not all the ways insurance companies are trying to get out of paying out when floods hit.

Never sell anyone out. In fact, if you're asked about banning 12-year-olds from softball, just say, "You're asking me to sell out kids for my political career. I'm not going to do that. Let's stop demonizing people in tougher circumstances than you or I will ever experience. They have guts."
