RT @MaraGay: All jokes aside: an entire generation of New Yorkers has been completely priced out of buying homes in their own communities. I think we help people most in need first (homeless, the working poor). But the inability of middle class to put down roots in nyc is a real problem.

RT @LegalAidNYC: "This is an overstaffed department that is operating like an understaffed department. It would be serious error for the city to increase a [staffing] ratio that already results in dangerous, persistent inefficiencies," - @KSimpsonHere. https://t.co/Ut4QIKHdjT

RT @HayesBrown: If you’ve: - made it nearly impossible for Palestinians to get permits to build homes on land they own - forced the demolition of homes built without permits - prioritized Jewish settlers claims Then it’s more than a private real estate dispute https://t.co/vmiXFNNKeW
RT @RepJayapal: Year after year, we've seen creeping de facto annexation by Israel that's led to further violence & violations of Palestinians’ human rights. I was there in 2018 when bulldozers first arrived at Khan al-Ahmar. This isn't new. It is ramping up. And it must be stopped.
RT @CFWIJ: #Palestine: Multiple journalists, including women journalists, were injured during the attack on the Al-Aqsa mosque by Israeli forces. The recent actions of the state of #Israel are undemocratic and in violation of international law. #CFWIJ condemns this state endorsed violence. https://t.co/gyTQiMMxLm

RT @IlhanMN: Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism. Palestinians deserve protection. Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don’t exist to protect Palestinian civilians. It’s unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the week of Eid. https://t.co/vWWQfMqBkT
RT @4noura: Israel just named its bombardment of Gaza- “Op Guardian of Walls” this is code of impending massacre of Palestinians who can’t even become refugees bc Israel has sealed the borders. This is a political decision bc the world has been desensitized to death in #Gaza. Don’t let it be
RT @Krasner4DA: This week, I was honored to stand w/ several men who were wrongfully convicted in this city, as they endorsed us in our reelection. Speakers included Tony Wright and his son, Chester Hollman, and Jimmy Dennis. I can never sufficiently express my gratitude for their support. https://t.co/jdWGi0wUHr
RT @People4Bernie: "What were really telling Palestinians fighting apartheid is the same thing being told to my Black neighbor fighting police brutality: There is no form of acceptable resistance to state violence, it seems, except the denial of humanity and dignity. Give Up" @RashidaTlaib https://t.co/NZu9qN0gI0
RT @mehdirhasan: "The fundamental unavoidable reality at the heart of the [Israel-Palestine] conflict is that there is an asymmetry of power here. One side is the occupier. The other side is occupied." Me, tonight, on why we shouldn't just talk of 'clashes' in Jerusalem: https://t.co/rgXvoY35jW
RT @Krasner4DA: This photo is heartbreaking. This is from my press conference earlier this week, where I stood with five men who had been wrongfully convicted by prior administrations. The hope and kindness they show after so many years of their lives lost is remarkable. https://t.co/5YHBxh1wRS
RT @phillyfirstward: Four years ago @Krasner4DA was elected on promises to treat children as juveniles, reduce unnecessary incarceration and instead focus on serious crimes, stop tolerating police corruption, and not seek the death penalty. He has delivered on all accounts. https://t.co/sdmMaJywF8
RT @LauraNirider: I don’t often get political on Twitter. But if you live in Philly Know someone in Philly Have been to Philly Have heard of Philly Then let’s get out the vote for @DA_LarryKrasner on May 18. He’s a reformer, exonerator, and good human.
RT @SDrizin: I get political on Twitter. I'm Philly-born & proud of it. Went to school @haverfordedu I've been there with you. Took you on a tour of @easternstate & bought you a cheesesteak. Who hasn't heard of Philly? I'd vote for @DA_LarryKrasner if I could. In a heartbeat. https://t.co/0gDK9ir1E7
RT @JimmyADennis1: Thank you to Will Bunch for writing this courageous piece. The racism and police brutality of putting innocent men in prison; my soul can’t help but weep when I think about my life, and the lives that others lost. The answer is, to #Vote for @Krasner4DA on May 18th. #Krasner4DA https://t.co/YJQFsYlE0N
RT @Krasner4DA: Thanks to these amazing men for their support today--these men spent so many years wrongfully incarcerated and still have so much spirit and hope and love for Philadelphia. Also, thanks for the WaterIce they gave out to my community. https://t.co/FebVfGHMfA
RT @ethanbrown72: News: @glid24 reports that Vallejo Police lieutenant Michael "Kent" Tribble has separated from the dept. As @citizenkrans reported, Tribble—nicknamed "Captain Taser" by prosecutors—attacked a man in a jail cell in 2012 and in 2010 killed Guy Jarreau Jr. https://t.co/ZPe1CgfHZP
RT @HEBobiwine: The military and police have yet again surrounded my residence, as Gen. Museveni prepares to illegally swear himself in this Wednesday! The coward is fully aware that he's illegitimate, and that's why he's very scared of the people. Hang in there comrades. We shall overcome

RT @davidminpdx: Lazy journalists from elite publications are laundering the idea, peddled by police unions, that “progressive prosecutors caused shootings to go up.” This is false. Shootings are up across the country, regardless of whether the DA is a reformer or not. https://t.co/HY1B4HJGPW
RT @Weinsteinlaw: Six people were murdered at a birthday party in Colorado Springs this morning, but it will barely register as news because mass shootings are now a daily occurrence in America. We need a Congress with the courage to do something about that.
RT @davidminpdx: Watch how press irresponsibly gins up a moral panic about crime even though homicides remain down compared to: 10 of 12 years of Bloomberg 8 of 8 years of Giuliani 4 of 4 years of Dinkins 12 of 12 years of Koch 4 of 4 years of Beame 8 of 8 years of Lindsay https://t.co/stengqtQ92
