"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 :-]

When You Pursue Me, World by Sor Juana Inez De La Cruz (translated by Rhina P. Espaillat)

When you pursue me, world, why do you do it? How do I harm you, when my sole intent is to make learning my prize ornament, not learn to prize ornament and pursue it?

I have no treasure, and I do not rue it, since all my life I have been most content rendering mind—by learning—opulent, not minding opulence, rendering tribute to it.

I have no taste for beauties that decay and are the spoil of ages as they flee, nor do those riches please me that betray;

best of all truths I hold this truth to be: cast all the vanities of life away, and not your life away on vanity.

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.
