🧵 THREAD: Andrew Cuomo’s Weather Underground Clemencies
Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo quietly approved the release of two convicted domestic terrorists—people behind bombings meant to kill Americans. Hard to believe? Here’s what the media barely mentioned 👇
BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo granted clemency to two former Weather Underground radicals—Judith Clark & David Gilbert—convicted in the 1981 Brink’s robbery that left 3 dead.

Clark was the getaway driver in the Brink’s robbery—two police officers & a guard killed. Cuomo said she’d “rehabilitated.” She walked free after 38 years.

Cuomo also commuted the sentence of David Gilbert—another Weather Underground militant tied to the same deadly robbery. Released in 2021 after Cuomo’s clemency.

The Weather Underground called for revolution—bombed the U.S. Capitol & Pentagon—seeking to replace “imperialist America” with Marxist rule.

Stanford sociologist Doug McAdam explains: the Weather Underground grew from 1960s activism into militancy—proof of how ideology can radicalize.

From violent revolutionaries to Cuomo’s clemency list—NY deserves answers.
Should convicted domestic terrorists ever receive political mercy?

Think twice before you vote — do you want a mayor who grants clemency to domestic terrorists? Or is it time for common sense and real leadership in City Hall? Vote Curtis Sliwa for a safer NYC.

🧵 THREAD: Why Outsourcing + Foreign Aid = Real Pain for the American Middle Class 🇺🇸👇
🇺🇸 Many young Americans are rightly mad — but too often their frustration gets aimed at the wrong targets. Let’s talk about policies that cost U.S. jobs & funnel money overseas when Americans are struggling. 💼💰
🇺🇸 Before 1994, U.S. bilateral trade deals with our allies:
✅ Protected American jobs
✅ Kept the middle class strong — the global engine
✅ Supported national security & postwar peace (WWI/WWII, Marshall Plan)
Problem:
The 1997 Medicare GME residency cap froze Doctor residency slots at 1996 levels. Projected shortage: up to 86,000 doctors by 2036, especially in rural areas.
(Sources: H.R. 4731, AMA 2025 report)Congress.gov
@HouseGOP @SenateGOP Americans aren’t unqualified—they’re blocked by statute. Amend H.R.4731/S.2439 to give U.S. citizen priority in new GME residency slots, then sunset visa substitution until domestic supply is stable. Fix the system.
@HouseGOP @SenateGOP Amend H.R.4731 / S.2439 to add statutory GME language: new or redistributed Medicare-funded residency slots must prioritize (1) U.S. citizens, (2) primary care, psychiatry, general surgery, and (3) rural & shortage areas, with funding weighted accordingly.
🧵 Thread: How the U.S. can legally exit IOM — step‑by‑step
🇺🇸 The U.S. joined IOM under an executive agreement, authorized by law (see 22 U.S.C. § 2601). law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22…
📄 IOM’s governing document — the IOM Constitution — allows any member state to withdraw by giving written notice to the IOM Secretary‑General. publications.iom.int/system/files/p…
📆 Once that notice is delivered, membership ends at the close of the next financial year (per the Constitution’s exit provisions). publications.iom.int/system/files/p…
CRS, “America’s Peacemaker,” is being shut down. Civil rights groups are suing, but the evidence shows CRS’s original mission is complete—and modern crises prove why. #CivilRights #LocalFirst
Ferguson (2014), Kenosha (2020), Minneapolis (2020), Charlottesville… CRS was fully operational in all these cases. Yet major unrest still occurred.
If CRS were still the indispensable peacemaker in 2025, none of these crises should have spiraled the way they did.
NYC didn’t have a real choice — two Democrats split one lane, then blamed @CurtisSliwa when it backfired. That isn’t democracy, it’s disenfranchisement. Voters deserve competition, not coronations. 🗳️ #NYC #ElectionIntegrity
Running two versions of the same party isn’t democracy — it’s voter suppression with better branding. Every voter who wanted a real choice just got told they don’t count.
🧵THREAD: Who is Inna Vernikov? NYC needs to know before voting.👇
🚨 Councilwoman Inna Vernikov was arrested in 2023 after showing up armed at a Brooklyn College protest.
Prosecutors later dropped the charge when it turned out the gun was inoperable.
🔗 ABC7NY: abc7ny.com/14076245
⚖️ Vernikov, a Republican representing Brooklyn’s 48th District, called the protest “pro-terror” — but carrying a visible gun violated NY’s strict gun laws.
Police said she surrendered the weapon after the rally.
