For @thenation.com, I wrote about the Condé Nast Fired Four and what our fight means for the labor movement www.thenation.com/article/acti...

I love him. “The first time I caught up to [ICE], I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’”

a great opportunity "We are pleased to invite distinguished writers with an interest in serving as the next Paris Review Visiting Professor of Literature at the Bard Prison Initiative to apply for the role. Please do spread the word!" www.theparisreview.org/about/opport...

repulsive. i spent years talking my mother out of being an antivaxxer because she was desperate to point to any cause of my sister’s autism after being told by all her older relatives it was caused by her being a bad mother. just preying on desperate people to cause preventable harm and death.

VIDEO: Federal Agents Bust Into Queens Apartment, Pointing Guns at Mother and Her Four Kids www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/19/q...

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

New York Daily News: "An NYPD sergeant was facing federal charges Tuesday for impersonating an ICE agent and demanding a woman he met online report with her family to an immigration facility — a hoax he carried out in revenge for her rebuffing his advances, according to police sources."

A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...

This New Orleans operation is going to closely resemble what we just went through in Chicago.

SCOOP: Last week, the Social Security Administration published a notice saying it will be sharing "citizenship and immigration information” with DHS, confirming what WIRED reported months ago. Follow along with me below... www.wired.com/story/social...

Keeping Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner is an unforced error for reasons concerning her specifically, the NYPD broadly, and the moment that we're in politically. An ICE collaborator cannot be trusted to protect New Yorkers. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social should make her a different offer.

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

This is so cool. I interviewed Calvin Duncan - exoneree, and now Orleans Parish Clerk of Court - back in 2023 about his work as a jailhouse lawyer for the folks on death row in Louisiana. I remember being really struck by his words:

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box. New from me for The Nation: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

"The commanding officer of the Strategic Response Group — an NYPD unit that Mamdani has vowed to disband as mayor — filed for retirement, according to department documents shared with THE CITY." www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/05/m... @katiehonan.bsky.social

Mamdani’s win marks a rejection of the consistently Islamophobic weaponization of antisemitism. Diehard support for the Zionist project is, finally, not a sine qua non of New York City leadership... @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/04/z...

"If his campaign didn't inspire anyone, at least it cemented his legacy the way we should all remember it. As a man who will do anything, say anything, hurt anyone, just to keep a grip on power." Great piece from @davecolon.bsky.social nygroove.nyc/andrew-cuomo...

politicians are, by nature of position and power, pretty much enemies of the people as soon as they take office — AND what zohran will be attacked for will really be attacks on us as new yorkers. whether it is with him or against him, always, always fight for the people zohran is going to represent.

If this image were a drink I would sip from it very delicately, a tiny bit at a time, so that I could make it last for hours and hours and hours.

this portion of zohrans victory speech genuinely brought tears to my eyes

New York has the largest population of Jews in the world outside Israel. the existence of so many Jews living happily here undermines the ideological project of the ethnostate

The Israelis use actual antisemitic violence as a recruitment opportunity, a chance to bring in people from the diaspora. Notable that they’re trying to frame Zohran in the same way… “Time to make aliyah so you can be safe” www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-to...

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

between mamdani, ryan, and applyer’s wins, there is a great story waiting to be written about yesterday’s proof that voters are ready for a new conversation on crime and safety — “tough on crime” just doesn’t play like it used to. reporters PLEASE hit me up if you want to write this.

The billionaires can buy the newspapers and buy social media and buy attack ads, but they can't buy their way out of how much we fucking hate all of them.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

proud to be in the union hall with comrades for zohran’s win tonight, surrounded by anti-ICE posters.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

terribly excited to watch cuomo get his ass handed to him a second time, the vengeance all new yorkers deserve

It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.

will never forget working with new york renews when they rallied for climate justice in albany (a platform adopted by cynthia nixon), in response to which cuomo instead announced a plastic bag ban he had refused for years. fitting that that ban has actually massively increased plastic waste.

There's still the rumor that Bezos was going to buy Conde Naste which includes Vogue and Wired. I wouldn't be surprised if Wired ends up getting gutted too. This is the Orbanization of media. Every outlet belongs to regime allied oligarchs. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

Not an exaggeration to say that the media landscape is rapidly contracting towards "3 flavors of regime-approved messaging"

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

NEW: DHS is asking companies to submit plans to turn standard 4x4 trucks into AI-powered watchtowers—combining radar, cameras, and autonomous tracking to extend surveillance on demand. by me @ wired:

This is outrageous. It should also be understood in the context that everyday rich private donors also funnel tens of millions of dollars into US police departments through Police Foundations to fund projects that they are personally invested in--mostly high tech surveillance.

SCOOP: I obtained internal documents showing Amazon has been selling cloud computing and AI services to the state-owned Israeli weapons manufacturers whose bombs and missiles have ravaged Gaza. theintercept.com/2025/10/24/a...

The Attorney General’s office is threatening to prosecute elected officials, it appears, who say that federal officers can be charged for crimes that violate state law. "We just sent them a letter: Stand down or face prosecution," the Deputy AG posted on X. www.thecarceralreport.com/p/us-attorne...

New anti-ICE poster dropping soon

American law, it seems to me, exists to create a condition of constant titillation for people whose material needs are never unmet, but whose appetites have been teased into a state of ungovernable sadism by sloganeering & advertising that promises a return to a world that never existed & never will

No Republican appointee on the Supreme Court wrote a word about why they are allowing this to happen tonight.
