Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

as Phillips O'Brien also points out, this plan has been in negotiation for a long time, probably since Trump took office. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I’m saddened to hear of the death of Homayoun Ershadi, who gave one of the great performances in one of the greatest films, Taste of Cherry. english.alarabiya.net/amp/life-sty...

Great piece.

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." GOD YOU JUST FUCKING LOVE TO SEE IT

i can't stop thinking about this video. how the campaign started w/ Mamdani as an unknown basically...just like out reporting on the political apathy in 2024. figuring out why people felt jaded. and then working to bring about the opposite. beyond remarkable www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tur...

let's go mets baby we love da mets

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

baseball is cinema, actually

baseball will be central to reestablishing liberal democracy

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Sorry I can't get over this but it's just so funny to say "The test starts off with giraffes and elephants but the questions get way harder than that"

O Alisson tem sido a mais bela surpresa do Sporting esta época, o que também só mostra como desesperávamos por um extremo com este perfil há muitas épocas

João César Monteiro, Robert Downey Sr., and Kevin Brownlow retrospectives, and more to see in NYC theaters this weekend.

A Patricia Saramago montou a grande maioria dos filmes da Rita Azevedo Gomes e No Quarto de Vanda e Onde Jaz seu Sorriso. Era minha mutual no Facebook, sempre uma pessoa muito interessante de se ler. Muito jovem.

I love this man.

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

He's so good

A little treat before the full João César Monteiro retro at MoMA:

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Não percebia a cena dos bagels quando me mudei para NYC. Um dia, passei à frente do Zabar's e decidi comer um lox bagel. Eia, cum crl.

Trump is exercising more power for a fake emergency than Lincoln did for a real one.

Klein’s musings about redrawing the line are a manifestation of a pervasive tendency in elite circles to accommodate rather than fight back, to acquiesce rather than stand firm. If the Trumpists succeed at consolidating authoritarian rule, this will be one of the reasons why.

Something Ezra Klein hinted at in his conversation with TNC last week is still gnawing at me: That Liberals / Democrats may need to redraw the boundaries of what is acceptable so that Trump is no longer excluded. I think that is precisely the wrong answer to our current situation.
