@MSanchezPVD
Providence City Councilor, Ward 6.🇲🇽🌹💜
- On Friday, I was fired by Governor McKee for my public position on the atrocities occurring in Gaza. Since Oct. 7, I have used my voice as an elected official to condemn all violence against any innocent civilians. 1/3
- Replying to @MSanchezPVDI join the 80% of Democrats who support a ceasefire and the increasing number of elected officials who are speaking out in favor of de-escalation. Gov. McKee may have taken away my job, but he won’t pressure me into silence while a genocide is occuring in front of our eyes. 3/3
- Replying to @MSanchezPVDAs Israel continues to escalate its massacre in Gaza, the need to speak out for innocent Palestinian civilians has never been more urgent—regardless of personal consequences. 2/3
- Governor McKee may have taken away my job, but he won’t pressure me into silence while a genocide is occurring in front of our eyes. My statement:
- gen z slowly restoring faith in humanity and this is the bullshit we get? i’m so done with the gaslighting. you want young voters support? start spending money on free college and medicare for all. we are sick and tired of spending billions of dollars on war every year.
- his employment needs to be terminated asap, anything less is a disservice to the people of pawtucket.
I am aware of the social media post being circulated from a City of Pawtucket employee. It is truly disappointing to see such an inappropriate comment from anyone, especially a city employee. (1/2) - Today, after firing me for speaking out for innocent Palestinian civilians, @GovDanMcKee publicly asked, ‘Do you spend all your time talking about things that are not important?’ This is what Governor McKee is calling unimportant: 1/5Gov. McKee speaks out on firing of Miguel Sanchez for Israel/Palestine remarks. Says it was a choice of whether to focus on the office's work or "spend all your time talking about things that are not important." Some of the governor's initial comments:
- Tonight, the @pvdcitycouncil became one of first legislative bodies in the country to pass a resolution urging our federal delegation and @POTUS to call for a ceasefire! @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse @SethMagaziner @gabeamo

- “If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” -Malcolm X
- you either with the oppressed or oppressors. truly insane that this “both sides” propaganda bullshit column comes out the same day we learn that a @BrownUniversity Palestinian student was shot for wearing a keffiyeh and speaking Arabic.After talking to these students, Mark Patinkin says Brown has an antisemitism problem providencejournal.com/story/news/col…
