The definition of terrorism isn't just too broad, or that it includes 'serious property damage'. It justifies surveillance, on behalf of oppressive regimes globally, of people resisting injustice. We need a proper debate about abolishing the Terrorism Act 2000 www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Here’s a talk I gave years ago explaining how Columbus was basically the original trans-Atlantic drug trafficker. You will be never think about the colonization of this hemisphere in the same way again. The “drug” economy powered hemispheric growth (and enslavement) for centuries. Watch:

Mamdani has prioritized Public Safety throughout the campaign. By refusing to hire 5,000 more police, as proposed by Cuomo, he is saving the city hundreds of millions of dollars that can now be spent on real public safety. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

Which Senator will be the one to propose this so the press can ask Trump and Duffy and John Thune to defend private jet travel while you wait in a 5-hour security line only to have your flight canceled? This is a lay up guys come on

This.

To take pressure off ATC, let's suspend all private jet flights. It's an issue of efficiency. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Very reasonable and common sense idea.

This VFR into uncontrolled airfields or GTFO. There are a few non-commercial airfields that send a LOT of traffic into busy zones (Teterboro, PBI, Love Field, VNY, Westchester, Miami-OPF, etc.) Shut those down and immediately take pressure off of the system hubs like NY Center & LA Center.

With SNAP expiring, at least one Calif community is responding not by helping people get food, but by threatening hungry people with arrest This is what we mean when we say policing is a policy choice that creates crime Here’s the math that proves it 🧵

"It's easy to kneel with some kente cloth. There's no political cost for that. It's easier to give a national holiday... than to really take on these substantive issues of the material conditions of racial inequality in the United States" - Alex Vitale @alexvitale.bsky.social

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

Out supporting @nyclu.org last night.

Great sold out screening last night at Cinema Villiage.

The New School’s Gender & Sexualities Studies Institute + the Sex Tech Lab are hosting a screening of SEX WORK: It’s Just a Job on Nov 5 at 7PM.

2) Republicans use polls to shape strategy, not to shape their positions. Public opinion is malleable. Most people don't have firm opinions. Republicans shape the river. Democrats chase the currents--and it hasn't worked. @anatosaurus.bsky.social has written on this also

This is the 10th boat they’ve hit. It wasn’t even moving and they presented zero evidence of guilt as usual. When the Coast Guard used to actually stop and search vessels, a quarter of the boats had no contraband. Hegseth is simply executing people without evidence or trial based on suspicion.

New op-ed from PSJP coordinator Alex Vitale. @cityandstateny.bsky.social @alexvitale.bsky.social

My latest — I wrote about Cuomo’s vile racist speed run in the final days of the mayoral campaign, with gross comments on a right wing radio show, an AI video best suited for 4chan, and his weaponization of white and Jewish grievance to beat the would-be first Muslim Mayor of NYC:

Himmler telling ICE officers they have immunity to do whatever they want.

Out w @gangscoalition.bsky.social calling for abolishing the NYPD Gang Database.

This is an absolutely revolutionary and critical proposal. It is a roadmap for changing the way we deal with safety, gun violence, and mental health in every community in America.

PSJP coordinator Alex Vitale was quoted in a recent article about Zohran Mamdani’s potential paths in dealing with the NYPD if elected mayor. Read at the link below. Article by @k80way.bsky.social @thedriftmag.com @alexvitale.bsky.social

It’s official: the NYPD’s “gang database” is built on bias, not safety. The Inspector General’s new report proves it. Rally with us Oct 23, 5PM @ One Police Plaza to demand City Council pass #Intro798. #EraseTheDatabase @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @psjpbc.bsky.social @indivisible.org

And the best piece I've seen yet on what the content of that defined position should be remains this one, by @alexvitale.bsky.social. bsky.app/profile/bdli...

What in the fresh hell of nonsense does ICE need “guided missile warheads & explosive components”? The absurdity of this is enraging, even more so that those responsible and SWORN to act as checks & balances to abuses of power refuse to act. There is a special place in history for them all.

NEW: In Minneapolis, Soren Stevenson lost an eye from a police officer throwing a projectile during the BLM protests. Now he's running for a seat on the city council. And what's interesting is how he says he intends to keep police violence in the spotlight—and not let it go into backseat.

Experts say the only real way to prevent ICE from accessing sensitive data is for local law enforcement to forgo collecting it in the first place.
