NY Wants to Tell You What You Can and Cannot Boycott
It is very disappointing that our local NYS Assembly Member David Buchwald is a co-sponsor of A8220. I am trying to set up a meeting with him. If you are in his district and would be willing to attend this meeting, please let me know. In the meantime, please do be in touch with your state representatives on this free speech matter. The NY State Senate passed a bill last week that will create a blacklist of individuals and institutions that are engaged in a boycott of a U.S. ally. 55 NY state senators voted in favor and 6 senators voted against
These six NYS Senators who voted against are all African American and Latino.

Israeli soldiers arrested in Belgium after war crimes complaint by rights groups
NEW: @andrewcuomo just conceded the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to @ZohranKMamdani. Cuomo had universal name ID, a $25M PAC backing him and tons of institutional endorsements. Mamdani is a 33-year-old socialist. The magnitude of this can't be overstated.
BBC reports that any blocking of the Straits of Hormuz would have to be signed off by Iran’s National Security Council before it can happen. That sounds very democratic for a country which is supposed to be a tyranny, compared to say bypassing Congress to bomb a sovereign nation.
There's no overstating how extraordinary this is. The West has now lost political support from the whole of Asia, even Japan and South Korea.
A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to free Mahmoud Khalil immediately!
