It's true that not every vote in New York general elections has historically mattered. The fights were in the primaries.

This year it will be historically true that every general election vote matters.

Please vote Tuesday against Zeldin on the @NYWFP ballot line.
Zeldin can do to New York, what 45 did to the US. Culturally, electorally and legislatively. He is a threat to basic human rights and civil liberty.

People who are minimizing potential harm of a Governor are either not informed, self destructive or trying to favor Republicans.
New Yorkers, it is not too late for you to get on the phones and call your neighbors.

There are 5 more time slots left to fill asking only for 2 hours of time #VoteWFP

If texting is more your jam, you can do that with @NYWFP too.

@NYWFP There are also still canvassing opportunities in Troy, Ithaca and New Paltz. #VoteWFP

We Jews + all must confront antisemitism always. But ADL made millions going after Black electeds and activists, largely ignoring anti-Black and other defamation in service of anti-Black and anti-Palestinian apartheid. That does not help but contribute to division and mistrust. Image
ADL wants to tear up the US Constitution in service of protecting Israeli apartheid by deeming those who criticize just one nation state, automatic antisemites.

That will contribute to antisemitism.
ADL wants Amazon to decide what is antisemitic, without mention of what's homophobic, anti-Black, Islamophobic and no discussion of WHO decides what is hate speech, except them. They who decide what hate is often only in service to themselves

That'll contribute to antisemitism.

I walked into a New Orleans gift shop to find a section featuring Hitler figurines. Later I called them to talk about antisemitism and racism. It did not go well.
When I first walked into the store, I found it odd that at the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana there was any store that was completely void of Black culture. Even featuring an entire section from Russia instead. Especially a store called Black Butterfly Too.

At first, I wanted to confront the owners while I was at the store. But I didn't want to put the person I was with in danger, so I decided I would either visit or call them afterwards. I was also just extremely upset, and decided it be better if I cool down anyway.

If you have a large following and are fully leaving twitter, let’s talk and find a good match for an advocacy organization to adopt your account and expand their fight?
There are ways to easily wipe your tweets and DMs. If you’re verified we will lose the badge with a name change, but your followers will remain.
Organizations who already have twitter accounts also need to launch accounts around specific campaigns (climate, criminal injustice, labor, immigration, voting rights, etc) and your large following will give them an advantage when they launch it.

My community, majority Black, brown and Asian immigrant with working class white people and gigantic labor union presence is flooded from the outside with Zeldin signs. People ask me where they can get a Hochul sign and no one knows. No doors. No calls either.
One of the key advantages of progressives winning in the midterms is that they will have a ground game for the generals. So far my only contacts educating me on Hochul in this community is from @NYWFP who challenged her in the midterms. That's it.
We need to fill the gap left by the Hochul campaign and call each other.

New York, sign up to send texts or to make calls against Zeldin. This may be the most important Gov election in our lifetimes. #VoteWFP

When you follow our dangerous adversaries on Twitter, those dedicated to insurrection, facism and qan*n, u tell the algorithm they’re important and they are suggested to your friends.

Below I will explain step by step how you can still keep tabs on someone without following. 🧵
Simply go to their bio, click the triples dots, and go to add/remove from lists. Prior to that, you have already created a list (and marked it private).

To create these lists go to your own menu, and click on Lists.

Police abandon handcuffed woman in squad car parked on tracks as train approaches.

Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, 20, suffered 9 broken ribs, broken arm, broken teeth, head, back and leg injuries, as cops fled.

Paid leave for the cop.
Platteville Colorado police report itself has omitted that she was being held at gun point by police. For a 911 call after what’s described as a road rage incident claiming she had a weapon. No weapon was reported to be found or “found” in her car.

You will be told by authority invested in profiting off criminal injustice that this can be reformed. You will hear about bad apples and long internal reviews until it falls from the news. Turn your rage into exploration about police abolition and what it really means.
