Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

“The evidence response team instead had to drive through the night amid a snowstorm to reach the university in Providence, Rhode Island, by 9 o’clock the next morning, according to the whistleblower’s account.” — www.ms.now/news/senator...

Are we "culturally normal" now?

This guy gets it.

Why is Lyft covering up useful way-finding maps with ads? Find out in Gersh Kuntzman's latest episode of "Old Man Vertical."

With blizzard conditions expected in NYC, Mayor Mamdani announces a travel ban in the city between 9 p.m. tonight and 9 a.m. tomorrow, shuttering all bridges and roads to non-essential traffic. He also says all public schools will be closed tomorrow for an "old school show day."

Great write up on why exactly rents are so high in NYC. I used to think the lack of supply was the issue but this guy makes it clear the issue is debt-based ownership. Only real path forward is govt take over. www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/aft...

The first project to make use of an accelerated review process—one of several ballot measures passed by NYC voters last year to speed up housing production—will turn a parking lot in the Bronx into 84 affordable apartments. via @patrickspauster.com: citylimits.org/move-over-ul...

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Attaching healthcare to work is an abomination.

As someone who has used LLMs for some years now, I'm shocked that people will just copy-paste whatever those things produce. Even the other bullet points are pointless.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

It's so funny how we can read that sentence and not bat an eye nowadays.

Wait these mini lecterns at Mayor Mamdani’s press conference are so cute. (Video via Josie Stratman)

The blond boy with the super long tie is sending me 😂

If you've noticed how disgusting the city is right now, you're mad at cars.

I love how NYC-centric they are. They're about to fuck over a bunch of small towns and college towns cuz they think NYC will be the first city with a free bus.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

They really have no fucking idea what is coming. No fucking idea.

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.  
That’s what we have to change.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom: "If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

A kindergartener is one of a growing number of children in Maine who have been left without a parent as the Trump administration carries out a major immigration enforcement effort, according to local officials.

She was ready to throw hands!

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

The City is hiring emergency snow shovelers. Pay starts at $19.14 per hour and increases to $28.71 per hour after the first 40 hours worked in a week: www.nyc.gov/site/dsny/ca...

The fundamental issue is that there seems to be two difference views of the holocaust: those that see it as a warning on what fascism and hate leads to, and those that see it purely as the result of antisemitism and nothing else.

#Minneapolis: Barricades have been put up by community members to create an autonomous grieving zone on the block that Renee Good was killed by federal agent Jonathan Ross yesterday. At least one protest is planned for tonight and healing circles are happening.

This is how you know ICE agents aren't trained. They are breaking the one rule of American law enforcement: no white people.

Pink coat lady's footage Content warning: murder

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

imagine if you took all the city's meat and put it in a freezer

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

The good news? We’re winning universal childcare faster than anyone expected. The bad news? Ms. Rachel and I have to find some new song inspiration…

You probably don't know what SEQRA is - but you should know that it's slowing down the housing that we need. Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg is here to explain why reforming it is key to cutting red tape and building more housing.

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

For the first time since 2021, a mayor acknowledged that repeated emergency extensions lacked a path to compliance with the city’s own laws — ordering correction officials to come up with a plan for abiding by long-deferred limits on solitary confinement within 45 days.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

gotta be some use for this at some point

NEW: Juvenile detention centers in New York are keeping youth in small cells without sinks or toilets, often for upwards of 23 hours a day, for days or weeks at a time, a lawsuit alleges. nysfocus.com/2026/01/09/o...

Renee Good should be alive. ICE should be abolished.

All internet traffic from Iran ceased in @greynoise.io one hour ago. Tier 1 dropped off two hours ago.

I don't get why this is an either-or situation. Zohran was able to do both. But at the core of the issue is that Dems don't have any philosophy they can use. Zohran didn't talk about "affordability", he spoke about public grocery store, free buses, childcare, etc. Will Dems?

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

They still see Trump as an apparition. They don't see that the issue is ICE and the DHS itself.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
