Israel is deliberately starving millions in Gaza, blocking food, baby formula, and aid. They are putting civilians and children at the brink of death. This man-made famine and genocide must end. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Ex-Israeli general hits out at government for 'killing babies as a pastime' in Gaza

Around 14,000 babies face severe malnutrition if a lot more aid trucks don’t reach the Palestinian enclave soon, a U.N. aid group said.

Let’s get out the vote and win big on Tuesday! Together we are building a Pittsburgh for all, and we can’t let our progress stop now. Make a plan to vote between 7 AM - 8 PM, then reach out to 3 friends and make sure they do the same. Let’s get it done!

My goal as Mayor is to make Pittsburgh affordable for all. We're building and preserving more affordable housing than any Mayor in 20 years. We're holding landlords accountable. We created 150 new homeowners. We moved 150 land bank properties. And we're just getting started.

I have asthma. When you have an asthma attack, you can't pull in oxygen. It is terrifying. If feels like you're going to die. An inhaler can help, but in a severe attack, it is not enough. You could die. She is being tortured, and she may die. Because she wrote an op-ed.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen. 39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions 40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs. 41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there. They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.

Team Gainey isn't shy about being less accessible to developers. Deputy Mayor Jake Pawlak: “What they are talking about is ... calling in political favors to get preferred treatment. That’s something that’s been done a lot in the past that we absolutely don’t do.”

That’s right. I answer to the People of Pittsburgh — not the predatory landlords and developers who only care about their profit margins, raising rents, keeping our neighbors from being able to buy a home, and pricing our friends and family out.

New: We found that 80% of campaign donations from real estate developers and construction are going to Corey O'Connor and his bid to unseat Ed Gainey as Pittsburgh mayor. Why? One big developer says with Gainey, "Nobody answers [our] phone calls." www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-m...

CommUnity. Today I’m knocking doors with Council President Daniel Lavelle in the Upper Hill. Together we are building a safe, affordable city for all. Let’s Go Get It!

Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism. Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Yass means no. It was a no when he dropped seven figures up against Sara Innamorato and it’s still a no now that he’s coming for Ed Gainey. Pittsburgh isn’t for sale. @gaineyformayor.com

🚨🚨🚨 A MAGA mega donor is putting his thumb on the scale in the Democratic primary for Pittsburgh Mayor. Jeffrey Yass tried to do this last year and failed. We gotta beat him again. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
