Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.
“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

It’s weather like this when you really start to realize how many streets have zero trees. ☀️🥵
More funding for more trees! 🌳
As he wrapped up his speech, Brad Lander again congratulated Mamdani, whom he cross-endorsed. And Lander, who is Jewish, declared, “We are not going to let anyone divide Muslim New Yorkers and Jewish New Yorkers.”
Not to be corny, but I have genuinely loved this aspect of Zohran and Brad Lander's dynamic. So much of this primary was so ugly and cynical, and they refused to give into that. I want more of this energy, all across the country.
"check discord" "check slack" "check your texts" "check signal" "check bluesky" how about i check the fuck out and throw my phone in the river
screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."
he's right and he's right to say it
just got a targeted Youtube ad for Darlene Mealy in Bay Ridge lol (nowhere near her district). Also the ad was basically "We can trust Darlene!" then "Paid for by Uber". Ah yes the corporate backed candidate... definitely sounds like shes for the people...
i think it should be illegal to make anyone deliver anything in this level of heat (106, feels like 113). And if its 100% necessary like medical stuff or something then pay the delivery ppl like 10x what theyd normally be paid. and give everyone else a paid day off. i dont need my package rn

“Never vote for someone you hate.”
i.e. do not rank anyone who you would not ~~actually want in office~~
so if there are only three or four candidates you could actually stand, rank only those three or four (rather than filling out all five with candidates you don’t really like)

1/ NYC! It’s time to vote. Here’s a rundown of what you need to know before you cast your vote. Ready? 🧵🧵🧵
10:30am: "Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead." 10:49am: law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
Jesus.
The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...
Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.
