From 3rd-9th grade I was lucky to live in a place where I fell in love with hockey and Bruce Springsteen. I got my first dog.I started swimming competitively. I learned to ski.I played the flute and marched in the band. And got up to a whole lot of shenanigans with some of the greatest people I know. Despite moving here, there, and everywhere they are still some of my dearest friends. A great weekend celebrating with a whole bunch of them!

Continued thread

It began last fall when #Bowman stepped forward as one of the leading critics of #Israel’s #war w/ #Hamas. But the contest grew into a broader proxy fight around the future of the #Democratic Party, exposing painful fractures over #race, #class & #ideology in a diverse district that includes parts of #Westchester & the #Bronx.

The district’s 1st #Black congressperson & a committed democratic #socialist, never wavered from his calls for a #CeaseFire in #Gaza or #left-wing economic priorities.

Karen Attiah: No one should be surprised a Black politician is the canary in AIPAC’s coal mine: Will Democrats allow their foes to choose their candidates? New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman hopes not.

"'Shut up or else' is the message a pro-Israel lobby is sending to Black lawmakers in America who are critical of what’s happening in Gaza. The front line is New York’s 16th Congressional District, where Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D) is facing one of the most expensive primary challenges in history.

The conservative pro-Israel lobbying giant #AIPAC announced this spring that it would take extraordinary steps to remove progressive lawmakers who have called for a cease-fire in Gaza. Through a new super PAC called the United Democracy Project, funded primarily by right-wing billionaires, the group has pledged to spend $100 million this year to oust candidates it considers unsupportive of Israel."
