If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

Geo Group, a publicly-traded prison corp., received $1B of our tax dollars to detain migrants in this hell. The hunger strikes continue to protest the inhumane conditions in Delaney Hall. It’s outrageous — these human rights abuses must stop.

NEW NY-17 poll shows HUGE shift among Democrats — even in NYC suburbs. This is Mike Lawler's district. Sympathies more with Palestinians than Israelis by 26 points. Mamdani +64 AIPAC -32 And outsider @effieforcongress.bsky.social (who was targeted for visiting Palestine) leads in informed ballot.

In the race for NY-17, @effieforcongress.bsky.social is the candidate who's building a base of progressives, young people, poor people, Latines, and other POC, all around an ethics of "everyone for everyone." This is the best pathway—both to beat Mike Lawler and to build Dem opposition-party force.

Today was a bad day in court for Lawler. We prevailed on his ridiculous challenge to my WFP petitions and he failed to substantiate any of his claims about my Democratic petitions. This challenge is Lawler’s attempt to disenfranchise thousands of Dems who signed my petitions, and it’s going to fail.

Coward Collaborator Mike Lawler is scared shitless of this upcoming election and scared of @effieforcongress.bsky.social. It's a bullshit lawsuit from a scared fascist, racist, scumbag. I looked at the contested signatures. He's got NOTHING and he's just trying to stir shit up and drain coffers.

On my recent trip to Israel and Palestine I visited Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center. It was a powerful lesson in how hatred can fuel the worst of humanity. This Yom Vashoa, I remain committed to fighting antisemitism alongside racism, xenophobia and oppression in all its forms.

How Does TrackAIPAC Actually Track AIPAC?
The social media warriors have helped make AIPAC a politically toxic brand — and fueled debate over what it means to be "pro-Israel."

I called out Mike Lawler who couldn’t justify the murders of innocent Americans at the hands of ICE. Instead he resorted to misogyny and aggression. Listen for yourself. I will never “sit down” or “calm down” in the face of people like him who are enabling fascism in our country.
