Israel needs money and arms to carry out 200 days of genocide — Citi helps with both. Since Oct 2023, Citi has continued to support Israel’s war machine by financing a $500 million bond to Israel and billions of dollars in bonds to war profiteers Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. 🧵

Billionaires like Jeff Yass & the PACs they fund love to hide behind 'caring about the children,' but a 2009 Stanford study of charter schools 'concluded that 83 percent of them perform either worse or no better than traditional public schools.' bit.ly/49HBD12

My op-ed argues we're already in the dystopian future, with robots deciding which families to kill. The tech corps that make glitchy consumer-facing AI are also supporting an AI-powered genocide. We must hold them accountable. If you're an editor interested in running this, DM me

The “Pledge for a Healthy Democracy” asks its signatories to commit to reject money from billionaire Jeffrey Yass and his affiliated political action committees and to resist his “privatizing and profiteering agenda” including school vouchers among others. pennlive.com/politics/2024/…

🔥🔥🔥 Thank you Tarik Khan, PhD, CRNP for standing WITH public schools and AGAINST Jeffrey Yass' privatizing agenda! #AllEyesonYass

'These mass, illegal firings will not stop us... Make no mistake, we will continue organizing until the company drops Project Nimbus & stops powering this genocide.' #NoTechForApartheid bit.ly/4aEUM4P

We’re not taking any YASS money over here! 💁🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

Billionaires should be paying their fair share, not using their wealth to play in our local elections. Proud to stand with my colleagues today to speak up against Jeffrey Yass’ influence in Pennsylvania politics.

The #AllEyesOnYass Pledge for a Healthy Democracy wants electeds in PA to promise to reject donations from Jeff Yass, & resist his privatizing & profiteering agenda, like using taxpayer $ for private & religious school tuition over funding public schools! bit.ly/3xOQo4C
