Members of a private WhatsApp group, including billionaires like the CEO of Dell and the former CEO of Starbucks, allegedly used the chat to discuss ways to pressure New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on Gaza solidarity protests at the city’s universities, according to The Washington Post. AJ+ has not seen the chat messages referenced in The Washington Post’s report directly.

At the end of the day he’s still their little boy 🥺🧡

Nifty is partially in the image and stands at the top of the stairs right above a "gettyimages" watermark. /.End ID]
