What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

NYC’s paper of record has spoken

Terrific interview with @bradlander.bsky.social by the @hellgatenyc.com gang, including @maxrn.bsky.social and @k80way.bsky.social (subscribe to their reliably entertaining podcast!)

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Last days of VICE coded (derogatory)

this is a fantastic and honest piece that lays out a path for Zohran that, hypothetically, avoids the failures of de Blasio

Best journalistic piece I've read so far on how Zohran should aim to govern the NYPD. The thesis is simple:

Don't attempt to appease opposing parties and end up pleasing neither; define a position and stick to it.

The piece's careful recounting of de Blasio's record backs this thesis up.

Thanks for reading John :)

So much has already been said about how a Mayor Zohran should orient himself towards the NYPD and yet here I am in @thedriftmag.com saying more

He Staked Everything on His Legal Weed Store—Then New York State Pulled the Plug When New York legalized recreational cannabis sales in 2021, Aaron Alexis thought he did everything right—but a sudden change in state policy has placed his business plan in limbo.

Two and a half years and $180,000 later, Aaron Alexis thought he did everything right on his way to opening his own licensed weed dispensary—but an abrupt announcement from the Office of Cannabis Management has left him "hopeless" and stranded in limbo.

love this new york times clip. they recently did a story about how sesame street's set has changed over the years, along with our urban politics.

Trump Targets Mamdani While Opening a Literal Concentration Camp Plus, more news for your Wednesday.

As Trump continues to flood the city with masked ICE agents and inks a bill that's likely going to have devastating consequences for New York, "liberals" are joining rhetorical forces with the president by focusing their ire on Zohran Mamdani.

Agree this looks good wtf

India Walton's Advice for Zohran Mamdani "I think that for him, the race 'til November needs to be staying on message—we can't start to water it down because we think it's going to attract a more moderate Democrat."

I asked India Walton what Zohran Mamdani should be thinking about right now, as an upstart DSA-backed mayoral candidate who just won a primary election against the assembled forces of the ultrawealthy and his own party's establishment.

She had some advice:
