How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Rest in power, Rev. Jesse Jackson. He kept hope alive for making Dr. King’s dream into reality, step-by-step. His relentless work for racial justice and a world where everyone can thrive inspired so many into action (ask me sometime about the night we met at Occupy Wall Street).

Love the signs & banners at the @handsoffnyc.bsky.social actions? Many hands are needed to make them! Luckily @manyhandsnyc.bsky.social has launched a very cool workshop where you can help. Rosa found it, of course … and even got me in on the action (well, ok, I just held down the stencil).

First Saturday at the @brooklynmuseum.org is always magical — and Black History Month First Saturday is best of all. Loved celebrating there last week w/ @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social & Brooklyn Ecumenical Choir & Seydou Keita & a packed museum full of Brooklynites.

What to do when @jfrejnyc.bsky.social endorses on the same day you open your campaign office? Launch a two-part canvas: Half on phones recruiting vols for petitioning. Half talking to businesses on Atlantic Ave about how they can protect their immigrant workers. Join us next time: landerfornyc.com

Very big win here. A federal judge says it's just fine for funds and pension plans to boycott fossil fuels www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/c...

I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery. Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised! New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

The crime is not out sitting in the 10th floor elevator lobby at 26 Federal Plaza. The crime is what ICE is doing on the other side of the door. That’s why I’m demanding discovery on the “usual” use of the federal property … and who is unreasonably obstructing it.

Lo ta’amod al dam re’echa. I will not stand on the blood of my neighbors. #JewsAgainstICE

Tekiah gedolah! #JewsAgainstICE

Hundreds of #JewsAgainstICE protested outside ICE headquarters in DC today. We won’t stand idly by while they abduct our neighbors. Thanks @truahrabbis.bsky.social @bendthearc.bsky.social (and rabbis & cantors & lay leaders from pretty much every synagogue, youth group & summer camp I’ve gone to)

The Trump Administration can temporarily lower the pride flag … they’ll never take down pride. Look forward to joining LGBTQ+ New Yorkers tomorrow at 4 pm to make clear that New York City — the home of Stonewall — fights back when fascists come for the rights of our neighbors.

One shift on the doors, one shift doing ICE-watch: that’s the goal @bradlander.bsky.social has set to ensure his campaign is not just about electing him so he can fight for New Yorkers once in office, but also about fighting alongside New Yorkers right now! Learn more: bradlanderforcongress.com

We did a business canvass with @bradlander.bsky.social’s campaign in downtown Brooklyn tonight—not to talk about his congressional race, but to make sure business owners know their fourth amendment rights if ICE agents enter their stores.

Absolutely thrilled to see @nishaagarwal.bsky.social appointed Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office for People with Disabilities. Our mutual friend @adybarkan.bsky.social is smiling on the choice. Nisha embodies what it means to #BeAHero. Love to see Christopher Alvarez with the scoop!

"If we aim to rebuild a US foreign policy that is grounded in human rights, that respects sovereignty, that builds multilateral coalitions to end forever wars, one important place to start is by ending US complicity in the genocide in Gaza." @bradlander.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

⭐SPECIAL EVENT!⭐ We’ll thrilled to announce a benefit concert featuring the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and the debut performance of Young at Heart Chorus NYC — two choruses uniting to keep families together. @bradlander.bsky.social will join as guest speaker.

First shot taken! Congratulations @analiliafornj.bsky.social! She will be a powerful voice and a tireless organizer in Congress for working people, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and all of us.

Thank you, @indivisible.org! With fascism ascendent, in a country that working families can’t afford, we need to fight like hell for a more inclusive democracy and a more equal economy. Together, we’ll keep organizing for the country that we deserve.

Thrilled to hear @nynurses.bsky.social reached a deal with Mt. Sinai & Montefiore for safe staffing ratios, benefits, & stronger workplace protections, after nearly a month on the picket line. Shameful that NY-Presbyterian still has them freezing out in the cold. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/n...

If they can do this to find a dog, they can do this to find anyone. That’s terrifying.

Down with the Patrio-archy. 🤷‍♂️

With freezing temps & dangerous wind chill across NYC, staying safe is critical. Warming centers are open in every borough for anyone to stop by & warm up. We must take care of one another — check in on neighbors, family members, & anyone who may need help in this frigid cold. Stay safe & stay warm!

Rabbi Ellen Lippmann is a critical member of the Jewish community in our city — from teaching the core values of Judaism, to being a champion of peace for people across the world — New York wouldn’t be the same without her.

Proud to have attended @mayor.nyc.gov’s interfaith breakfast, where Zohran reaffirmed New York City’s commitment to being a sanctuary city. This Executive Order will protect our immigrant neighbors and defend NYC as a place of safety and opportunity for all people.

Looks like NJ-11 is sending an organizer to Congress! Congratulations @analiliafornj.bsky.social on shaking the political earth tonight! Can’t wait to keep working with you, from the streets of our neighborhoods to the halls of Congress. #FightDontFold

Props to these fearless nurses who have been fighting for a fair contract for over 3 weeks now, in the frigid cold. Our healthcare workers deserve fair wages, safe staffing, and real benefits. Keep fighting! New Yorkers have your back!

The latest release of the Epstein files is a chilling reminder of how the wealthy elite are protected while survivors continue to fight for justice. There is no reason anyone named in these allegations should walk free, taunting victims and fueling public distrust.

Some very exciting news for @uaw.org members today! Congrats to the workers of Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant for reaching a historic tentative contract for well-deserved wage increases and benefits. The people united will never be defeated.

While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.

Thank you @khanna.house.gov for showing what it looks like to demand accountability from the halls of Congress, without fear or favor.

Mazel tov to Phylisa Wisdom on being appointed to head the @mayor.nyc.gov Office to Combat Antisemitism. @phylisawisdom.bsky.social is the perfect person for the job. I’ve had the blessing to watch her lead @nyjewishagenda.bsky.social in many critical moments.

The Nation’s homepage today is dedicated entirely to Gaza and its people. Despite a so-called ceasefire, bombings continue, hunger persists, aid trickles, and hundreds of thousands live in threadbare tents.

House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it. While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

The people of Minneapolis love their neighbors — and that’s why they hate ICE. Here’s some of what I learned from them this week (and why it feels a lot like what @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social describes in “A Paradise Built in Hell”) open.substack.com/pub/bradland...

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

Cold doors Warm hearts* Can’t lose Great knocking doors today for @analiliafornj.bsky.social with @mauricewfp.bsky.social & an intrepid crew of volunteers. (*and warm @workingfamilies.org hoodies)

The new batch of Epstein files make me retch. They reveal the rot of abuse & corruption at the highest levels of government, finance & tech. As Rebecca Solnit observes, it feels like: “rapists all the way down, and enablers all the way up.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A truly #unrivaled crowd got to watch Marina Mabrey put on a clinic last night! So much fun. And yes, that means yesterday for me was Minneapolis —> NYC —> Philadelphia. Three cities that love women’s basketball … and hate ICE.

Went straight from the airport to Foley Square to join thousands of New Yorkers enraged & inspired by Minneapolis. Let’s make sure we follow their example to protect our neighbors & demand ICE get the hell out of Minnesota & NY & everywhere else. (Also, so nice & warm here by comparison :-)

We’re going all out for @analiliafornj.bsky.social this weekend! At a moment when so many people are feeling anger and frustration about the state of our politics, the most meaningful response is action.

Hola Arepa (on Nicollet Avenue in South Minneapolis) was raided by ICE in early December, at the beginning of Operation Metro Surge. Not only did they refuse to let the ICE agents in. They let other small businesses know how to follow their lead.

There was, in MN, a palpable, constant sense of fear that could even feel like paranoia from people engaged in civil resistance. Here’s why: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

This week has revealed three types of Americans. In the face of fascist aggression, don’t be a bystander. Be like Stella Carlson & Ilhan Omar and the brave resistors of Minneapolis. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/o...

Murdering dissenters & arresting journalists is what dictators do. Trump’s Justice Department arrested Don Lemon & Georgia Fort after 2 federal judges refused to approve warrants. Let’s be clear: we are amidst a constitutional crisis.

The rapid-response ICE watch work in Minneapolis has gotten a lot of attention & rightly so. But the mutual aid & family support is equally powerful. Schools, churches, synagogues, neighborhood groups have raised millions to help immigrant families cover rent & bills while breadwinners can’t work.

The organizers & patrollers here in Minnesota are eager to share what they’ve (far too painfully) learned. They’ve got a distributed network with some broadly shared tools — that we can learn from.

Thanks (I think?) to @whstancil.bsky.social for introducing me to “pulltabs” at the Uptown VFW last night. Haven’t made it to a meat raffle yet, but I did have a “Juicy Lucy” (although it was a vegan one at Francis Burger, so I’m not totally sure I’m doing it right). For the record: I didn’t win.
