"Message from pro Palestine actionists on the one year anniversary of Israel's brutal genocide in Gaza. Over the last 365 days, Congressman Adriano Espaillat has been loud and proud about his support for Israel’s slaughter of an estimated 200,000 Palestinians. Last night, a group of uptown Jewish constituents painted his office red to symbolize the blood of those murdered by Israel in its ongoing genocide against Palestine, and now Lebanon. While Espaillat is bought and paid for by the Zionist lobby, our action speaks louder than their blood money. The paint will wash off your office, Congressman, but the blood of thousands of martyrs will forever stain your legacy. Anti-Zionist Jews say free Palestine, end the occupation, and stop arming Israel!"

La Cacata AKA Estrella Espaillat — E-272184's Spider-Woman!

She was bit by a radioactive cacata (tarantula) while visiting her family in the DR. Now she's an emerging Latin pop artist by day and NYC's protector by night!

Her design's inspired by the iconic Dominican wrestler Jack Veneno !!

Will post more about her world and her villains soon :-]

Le Congrès américain s'engage en faveur d'Haïti

Dans un geste significatif de solidarité internationale, le Congrès américain a récemment adopté un plan d’aide de 95 milliards de dollars, dont une partie importante est destinée à soutenir des pays en difficulté comme Haïti. Cette décision historique a été saluée par d’éminents représentants. Adriano Espaillat, membre du Congrès, a souligné l’importance de ce vote, en insistant sur les 9,8…

Where New York politicians stand on Palestine

The majority of Democrats in DC, despite their voter base being overwhelmingly in support of a ceasefire, refuse to disavow the genocide in Gaza or call for ceasefire.

They are able to do this, to disregard the outrage of their constituency, because they feel certain that no matter how many letters we send, we will show up and vote for them when the time comes. They are certain their actions have no consequences.

Senator Chuck Schumer has received about $526.5k from Israeli lobby groups since 2019. He refuses to call for ceasefire. This is his going rate to endorse genocide.

Senator Kristen Gillibrand has received $174k from Israeli lobby groups since 2019. She refuses to call for ceasefire. This is her going rate to endorse genocide.

10/26 New York congressional representatives are Republicans. None have called for ceasefire. Palestinian genocide is core to the Republican platform.

Of the 16 Democrat representatives, only 4 have called for ceasefire. The following NY Democrat representatives have called for ceasefire. They were not swayed by money received from Israeli lobby groups.

Nydia Velazquez, 7: not swayed by $8k from Israeli lobby groups this cycle, nor the $12k the cycle before that or the $250 in 2020.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 14: not swayed by the confusing $27 from Israeli lobbyists. Received nothing last cycle and $150 before that.

Jamaal Bowman, 16: received nothing this cycle and not swayed by the 26.5k last cycle. Incomplete data for 2020.

Paul Tonko, 20: not swayed by $9k this cycle or the $17.5k before that or the $5k before that.

The following NY Democrats refuse to call for ceasefire. The amounts listed after their names are, apparently, what they consider fair compensation for enabling genocide. Incredible amounts of money have been heaped upon them by Israeli lobby groups, with a significant increase between 2020 and 2022. The Israeli American PAC was a top individual contributor for 5/12.

Gregory Meeks, 5: 109k current cycle; 157.5k previous two. IAPAC his top contributor 2 cycles running.

Grace Meng, 6: 85.5k current cycle; 12.5k previous two. IAPAC her current top contributor.

Hakeem Jeffries, 8: 365k current cycle; 476.5k previous two. IAPAC his top contributor 2 cycles running.

Dan Goldman, 9: 24k since his first election in 2022. He is an old money billionaire.

Yvette Clarke, 11: 7.5k current cycle; 52.5k previous two.

Jerrold Nadler, 12: 7k current cycle; 90k previous two.

Adriano Espaillat, 13: 25k current cycle; 33.5k in 2022. He received nothing from Israeli lobbyists in 2020 but the IAPAC has been his top contributor ever since.

Ritchie Torres, 15: 392k current cycle; 342.5k previous two. IAPAC has been his top contributor since he was first elected in 2020.

Pat Ryan, 18: 37.5k current cycle; 29k in 2022, incomplete data for 2020.

Joseph Morelle, 25: 6k current cycle; 60.5k in 2022; $125 in 2020.

Brian Higgins, 26: received nothing from Israeli lobby groups this year or in 2020 but perhaps the 10k he received in 2022 was enough to buy his endorsement of genocide.

The Republicans will be trash regardless, but we cannot let our Democrats skate by thinking there are no consequences for supporting a genocide. They are slaughtering people with your tax dollars, Americans. It's time to get serious. It's time to tell these people that they cannot have our votes for free. It's time to start talking about primary opposition and third party voting. It's time to start exercising our power as voting citizens.

More than 16 members of the House of Representatives introduced legislation today that would prohibit organizing, sponsoring, conducting or participating in wildlife killing contests on more than 500 million acres of U.S. public lands.

Wildlife killing contests are organized events during which participants compete for cash or prizes by killing the most, the largest or the smallest animals over a certain period of time. Each year thousands of native carnivores and other wildlife — including coyotes, foxes, bobcats, raccoons, rabbits, prairie dogs, mountain lions and wolves — are killed during these cruel, senseless competitions.

The Prohibit Wildlife Killing Contests Act of 2024, introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) and other congressional leaders, would require the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Forest Service to enact regulations banning wildlife killing contests within one year of enactment of the law.

“It’s shocking that these cruel and reckless contests are still allowed on our public lands,” said Stephanie Kurose, deputy director of government affairs at the Center for Biological Diversity. “America’s wild carnivores are so important to maintaining healthy ecosystems. They deserve better than to be targeted in these thrill-kill slaughter fests.”

Ten states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington — have already outlawed wildlife killing contests within their borders. The Humane Society of the United States conducted undercover investigations into these competitions in more than a dozen states, spurring significant public outrage against the events.

“Wildlife killing contests are cruel events that have no place in modern civil society,” said Johanna Hamburger, director and senior attorney for the Animal Welfare Institute’s Terrestrial Wildlife Program. “Participants frequently violate the fundamental hunting principle of fair chase by using bait and electronic calling devices to maximize the likelihood of winning, and animal carcasses are usually dumped once the contest is over.”

“Most people are shocked to learn that wildlife killing contests are even legal on our public lands,” said Camilla Fox, founder and executive director of Project Coyote. “Killing animals for prizes and entertainment is ethically indefensible, ecologically reckless, and anathema to sound wildlife conservation and management.”

“In addition to being unethical and unsportsmanlike, wildlife killing contests run counter to science-based wildlife management policy,” said Jennifer Eskra, director of legislative affairs of the Humane Society Legislative Fund. “This bill would end this execrable practice and protect wildlife at a national level, something that 10 states have already done.”

“Wildlife killing contests have absolutely no place in our country, including on our public lands,” said Katie Stennes, senior program manager for wildlife protection at the Humane Society of the United States. “These ‘cash for wildlife’ competitions, where native species are targeted, killed and then piled up for photos and bragging rights, is unacceptable. These animals should be respected for their intrinsic value and their key role in healthy ecosystems. We urge Congress to end senseless, wasteful wildlife killing competitions once and for all.”

Additional cosponsors of today’s legislation are Reps. Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), Cori Bush (MO-01), Gerald Connolly (VA-11), Diana DeGette (CO-01), Lloyd Dogget (TX-35), Adriano Espaillat (NY-06), Raul Grijalva (AZ-07), Jared Huffman (CA-02), Ted Lieu (CA-36), Betty McCollum (MN-04), Grace Meng (NY-06), Jerrold Nadler (NY-12), Katie Porter (CA-45), Melanie Stansbury (NM-01), Rashida Tlaib (MI-13) and Dina Titus (NV-01).
