Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin on Saturday announced an initiative to install more public bathrooms across the city.
The more money, resources, and power you give to ICE, the more folks they're going to harm and kill. It's as simple as that.

Earlier today I joined a protest at Ft Lauderdale Airport calling on Avelo Airlines to drop their contracts with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to carry out mass deportations. It is time we put people over profit. Abolish ICE, boycott Avelo.
For a labour movement that understands the power of a strike..
For a labour movement that stands with, not against, Indigenous blockades
For a labour movement that stops the flow of weapons & the whole world for Palestine
For a labour movement with migrant workers, and against policing & borders
Very weird feeling waiting for the president to announce an illegal war based on total bullshit that they made up right in front of our faces on TV, almost like I've lived through this moment before
I think if you oppose war with Venezuela (correct) you should open with that. Illegal and unconstitutional can follow. But the cause is monstrous and legality could never justify it.
β₯οΈ βICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasnβt worth it.β
We've just dropped ALL-NEW MERCH!!!
100% of profits go toward union Starbucks workers' strike funds. Support workers fighting for a fair contract and look real good doing it with our new 90's-inspired merch drop! β

A judge ordered the notorious ICE jail to close pending environmental review. Florida officials have already appealed.
Thereβs a PhD to be written on whether people with PhDs should validate fascism and racism by engaging with their talking points as if data matters.
put street trees everywhere you can in a neighborhood, make curb cuts so that their roots can absorb storm water from the street, grow native plants around their base, check back in five years and count how many welfare and health measures have improved
The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.
Ruth Wilson Gilmore said, βNo abolitionist who is a true abolitionist wants to save money. What we want is for the money to be spent, to enhance, and support human life so that it can flourish in a way that doesnβt destroy the planet. Weβre not about cost-savings.β Save lives, not money.
Always worth listening to @silkys13.bsky.social talk about "Unbuild Walls." Here's a new one from the @haymarketbooks.org podcast! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...
WOW. A lawyer told @miamiherald.com that a Florida Highway Patrol agent told her that they are calling Border Patrol to investigate anyone who "appears Hispanic" that they pull over.
That is direct evidence of racial profiling β said over the phone to a lawyer! They aren't even hiding it!
@harshawalia.bsky.social hey Harsha Zack from Broward DSA here. We have been working in coalition with Miccosukee and Seminole youth to organize against alligator Alcatraz. I wanted to see if youβd be interested in speaking with us in south Florida trying to take this on
I cannot emphasize enough how important the book Border and Rule by @harshawalia.bsky.social is, if you are truly interested in understanding how we got to "Alligator Alcatraz" and what we'll need to do to dismantle the crimmigration complex

But it offsets these expensive tax cuts in part through what several experts said may prove to be the most dramatic reductions in safety net spending in modern U.S. history. While last-minute changes to the bill text make precise estimates impossible, the legislation appears on track to cut Medicaid by about 18 percent and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by roughly 20 percent, according to estimates based on projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Republicans are proposing the largest cut to the social safety net in US history

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems
"Our support and solidarity with people who are struggling for human dignity and justice should not depend on their knowing anything about us! Solidarity is not a market exchange. Itβs not, you need to give us your love and weβll give you ours!"

I wrote a book spanning ICE & borders, Palestine & policing, colonialism & global fascism - in service to internationalist struggles.
I can no longer travel to US, but this book (as well @silkys13.bsky.social & @micahh.bsky.social 's) can come to you
π¨π¨π¨ The Supreme Court has just allowed Trump to strip as many as 350,000 people of legal status, effectively IMMEDIATELY.
Every Venezuelan granted TPS through the July 31, 2023 designation has been rendered undocumented as of now, significantly increasing the undocumented population.
Public opinion is not a static object that politicians should blindly mirror--at some point you actually have to fight for what you believe and doing so can shape public opinion
Most of the high profile people who have recently been snatched off the streets and threatened with deportation over their political speech or deported to El Salvador were union laborers, and I really do not think that is just a coincidence
Today would have been Coretta Scott Kingβs 98th birthday. She was more of an activist than MLK when they met, his political partner, & the βfamily leaderβ on issues of global piece and anti-colonialism. From my research for KING OF THE NORTH: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
