"To be born into a Western passport is, in a very real sense, to feel and know that you have a right to the wider world." Good read from @kanishktharoor on the privileges of nationality:

Today is my last day covering the Middle East for the Guardian. I'm not sure I believe the maxim that the moral arc of the universe bends towards justice. But I sure as hell believe in a sacred duty of telling the world what the powerful ones distorting that arc are doing.

“Criminalizing sex work is a form of broken windows policing,” says @SalazarSenate18 to canvassers. “We need to move all prostitution offenses to ticketed offenses, not arrestable offenses... this would go a long way towards decriminalization in NY state.” pic.twitter.com/4KHlQ0czNl

Over the years, Cuomo has doled out millions of dollars to some of the worst nursing homes with very few strings attached or expectations around improving the quality of care. Example: bit.ly/2waJZxt

Bloodied schoolbags belonging to children who never came home after an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition #Yemen. At least 33 children were killed. Where does Saudi Arabia get most of its arms? From Britain and the US. pic.twitter.com/Y14OkUmeqE

Courts and police have been able to get away with abusing sex workers (and women profiled as such) because almost no politician wanted to be seen as supporting prostitution. Grateful to those like @SalazarSenate18 with the courage to fight for sex workers

in 2014, I wrote about how New York’s prostitution courts almost entirely prosecute poor black, Latina and Chinese women. Courts claim they are “rescuing women” but police still subject them to arbitrary, violent, traumatic arrests google.com/amp/s/www.vice…

. @SalazarSenate18 is campaigning to end New York’s loitering with intent to prostitute statute, which lets police arrest women for standing outside too long wearing a miniskirt. The overwhelming majority of those arrested are women of color, often trans

Rashida Tlaib spoke to In These Times advocating for one state on the question of Palestine. She also affirmed support for the Palestinian right or return and the right to BDS.
In response, J Street revoked its endorsement:
