Oh look the French government has been forced to concede to the protesting students.
Who woulda thought that revolting actually works

Genocide is wrong because it is wrong, not because it is expensive for Americans. The longer we allow these disgusting talking points which center US comfort rather than the lives of those enduring atrocities, the longer we will find support for these atrocities

A reminder that opposing this lady's insane genocidal opinion is illegal in 38 states.

⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported.
Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia.
The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The new “progressive” Democratic position—that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and enforcing apartheid in the West Bank, where settler terrorists run rampant with government and military support, yet we shouldn’t impose an arms embargo or support the Palestinians’ right to resistance—is completely incoherent and indefensible.

People are finally beginning to ask the right questions about the No Kings people . They are the biggest ongoing political-movement grift worldwide.

si quemar un edificio vacio es un crimen de lesa humanidad, imaginate desintegrar una ciudad entera llena de civiles

Y’all remember when Israel bombed Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza, 1 of the oldest churches in the world, w a history dating back to the 5th century?
Palestinians, including children, were sheltering there. At least 18 were killed.
Spare us the fake outrage, baby killers

Mientras los medios criminalizan las revueltas en Francia, los chalecos amarillos señalaron de dónde viene la violencia con este mensaje en el Monumento a la República
"La Policía mutila a estudiantes de secundaria"

All three Palestinian-led grassroots organizations in NYC, Within Our Lifetime, Pal-Awda, and the Palestinian Youth Movement, have endorsed the protests against Mamdani, stood behind the student protesters, and uplifted the demands of the broader movement. The Palestinian grassroots movement in NYC has made its position clear.

We warned you about NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
When Mamdani announced he was keeping her as NYPD Commissioner, we organized over 100 organizations to oppose her appointment and laid out her record of racist policing, mass surveillance, repression of protesters, and collaboration with Israeli occupation forces.
These demands came from the streets, from the communities that have been subjected to this violence for years. The movement was right to oppose Tisch then, and we’re right to demand her resignation now.
We are recirculating our statement and calling on every organization that has not yet signed to add its name.
TISCH OUT. DISBAND THE SRG. ABOLISH ICE.

“Under a previously unreported directive issued by Mamdani in the early days of his administration, the NYPD must get City Hall’s permission before it sends the Strategic Response Group to conduct arrests at protests, a police department spokesperson confirmed to POLITICO.”

We stand in full solidarity with NYC-YDSA students. Read their statement regarding NYC-DSA repression which occured in response to YDSA student chapters endorsing yesterday's rally: instagram.com/p/DePuazIieFE/
“While waving the flags of terrorist organizations” huh. Where’s your condemnation for the countless genocidal settler colony flags being waved daily in the city? I can think of nothing more terroristic than slaughtering 20,000+ children in the space of 3 years.
