Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

the status quo created the housing crisis. why would Adrienne Adams defend a system with high rents and tenant displacement?

Ballot proposals 2, 3 and 4 take power away from everyday New Yorkers, giving it to unelected mayoral appointees and developers. Don’t be misled to give away your community’s power. Learn more at whatsonmyballot.nyc

very, very upsetting to see the NYC city council is spending my taxpayer dollars on NIMBY propaganda mailers against the pro-housing initiatives.

Vote YES on props 2-5!

also v stupid that they’re tying the initiatives to Eric Adams when they won’t go into effect until 2026 when Zohran is mayor!

GET THE FACTS:

YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS ON THE BALLOT

PROPOSALS 2, 3 + 4 hide that they take away your power.
We need more housing, but giving away our power to developers leads to

With the average new car at $50,000, let's look at the real costs of "freedom":

✅ Decades of debt
✅ Social isolation for every trip
✅ A leading cause of death & injury

Car dependency is a financially and socially crippling system, not a choice.

Still from video in which Zohran says "For us, it's that we need to build more housing"

Still from video "and we also need to make sure that for the public sector"

Still from video: "that housing that we're building is immediately affordable."

Still from video: "It's something they can see themselves in."

you missed the detail that he’s being non-compliant and is therefore a risk in the exit row. presumably at that point they can’t trust his word.
