One should affirm Israel’s right to exist and right to defend itself without descending into anti-Palestinian bigotry.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 7 December 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 9 December 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

The evil of genocidal rhetoric is not, to borrow an Ivy League term, “context-dependent.”

LEGISLATION FIRE SAFETY I have legislation establishing safety standards for the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. Poorly manufactured lithium-ion batteries have emerged as a growing cause of fires in NYC and beyond. I am proud to report that the House Energy and Commerce Committee has passed my bill by a vote of 42-0! Legislating for the people of the Bronx.
Happy Hanukkah! May we draw inspiration from the memory of the Maccabees, whose commitment to Jewish liberation resonates powerfully in our own time. Freedom over fear. Courage over cowardice. Pride over shame.

The notion that the pro-Israel community is “weaponizing” antisemitism to silence criticism of the Israeli government is truly one of the most blatant lies in American politics. No one is more critical of the Israeli government than Israelis themselves
I have never met anyone in the pro-Israel community who said that criticism of the Israeli government is antisemitic. I denounced Ben Gvir as a dangerous despicable disgusting demagogue. Yet no one accused me of antisemitism
A message for the Anti-Zionists. Criticism of the Israeli government is not antisemitic. Calling for the destruction of the Jewish homeland—home to half of the world’s Jewish population—is antisemitic.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @RitchieTorres. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 836,754 of 1,550,164entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Mentions
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
