It's always been abolish ICE. For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency. I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

To be clear, as an indication of how controversial IHRA is, even many Zionists reject it, including Kenneth Stern himself. He wrote this in Senate testimony last year: www.help.senate.gov/imo/media/do... bsky.app/profile/hoov...

Context: 1st, the quick 1. The bombs the US violated international law to drop on Iran, w/o justification or provocation, are 30k lbs. That means it weighs about the same as the US supplied/funded F35 that is used for genocide in Gaza daily. The F35 could carry half a bunker buster while taking off.

WTAF? I was just RTing Sarah Kendzior earlier this evening! @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social

@bsky.app why has Sarah Kendzior been suspended from here?

Find her here substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

Shame on @frankpallone.govpeeps.us and Josh Gottheimer. They seem to support the Israeli government’s attempts to annihilate the Palestinian people.

We have got to pass the Immigrant Trust Act ... newjerseymonitor.com/2025/09/22/w...

So, sure Josh, give them as many bombs they can't drop as you want. Only giving Israel weapons they can't use to murder Palestinians? Welcome to the resistance. 2nd: It's obviously bananas to find new, additional weapons to give to Israel during decades of ongoing crimes against humanity & genocide.

Context: So does this mean he's planning to bring just the apartheid to NJ or the genocide too? A rare tag b/c it's life & death: @mikiesherrill.bsky.social please don't do this. Your Jewish constituents don't support this man, this government, nor racial superiority plans & genocide.

I wrote about this recently for @publicsq.bsky.social www.publicsq.org/latest-artic...

It's unfortunate that in trying to highlight how dangerous Republican policies and supporters are, Matt also felt the need to spread the propaganda against a generational candidate. Even more unfortunate that propaganda is being spread by both parties.

But why the false both siding? Zohran has responded to the false accusations of anti-Semitism, over & over, & he's responded well. He separates Jewish New Yorkers from Israel in a way that a majority of voters support. He notes intifada is the Arabic word chosen to talk about Jewish Ghetto Uprisings

Disappointing to see @mattfriedmannj.bsky.social helping spread racist disinformation about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in @politico.com He attempts to call out that folks Republicans are actively campaigning with are disgusting racists, and are on the record behaving as such.

My statement with @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social on Senator Gillibrand’s racist, Islamophobic comments about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

chris cuomo is going to be the whiniest he has ever been.

I stand with all those across the world who do not want another endless war. Netanyahu & Trump are warmongers. It is the people who suffer the illegal & irresponsible actions of authoritarian leaders. Only Congress has the power to declare war. We must act to protect our safety & shared humanity.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed fellow Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as her first choice for New York City mayor.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Some photos from this past weekend’s book event for Spider-Mother at Princeton. Thank you (again) to Ben Baer for his excellent translations and collaboration on this project, to @sadafjaffer.bsky.social for being in conversation with us, and to the Center for Global India for hosting us!
