We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

The journalists: Hussam al-Masri w/ Reuters, Mohammed Salama w/ Al Jazeera, Mariam Abu Daqqa w/ Associated Press, Moaz Abu Taha w/ NBC, and Ahmad Abu Aziz.

As the Israeli assault in Gaza approaches the two-year mark, the extent of Israel’s crimes becomes clearer by the day.
So too does the complicity of other countries who have refused to uphold international law.

Was wondering how AAPI, & specifically Chinese, voted in the NYC primary. Mamdani reached out to orgs like CAAAV early on. “We focused on Chinatown, Sunset Park, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside, Woodside, and Jamaica. And in every single one of those neighborhoods, Zohran beat Cuomo handily”
How did #Zohran win? Working class and immigrant people. And working class Asian Americans were at the center, not on the outside or in between.
