We're launching a portal to review federal immigration enforcement in New York after yesterday’s ICE raid on Canal Street. New Yorkers who were present should submit videos or photos, and we will review and investigate any violations of the law.

While I'm at it, preorder TO CATCH A FASCIST & shout at a nazi near you. www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

These videos remind me of Neil Theise's NOTES ON COMPLEXITY. The spontaneous response from NYers to protect ourselves is how complex, living systems respond. We are individual parts & a unified whole. All interactions are local. Numbers matter. bookshop.org/p/books/note...

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

This is The People's House. Can we evict him? Seems like it might be in violation of his lease agreement.

So excited for the next major work by Daaji in the U.S. -- From Thinking to Feeling, how to get out of your head and a back in touch with your heart.

New: For @msnbc.com I wrote abt Trump’s absurd EO declaring antifa a “domestic terror org” I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

They should remember him by reading out his actual words.

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

It’s almost as if we should have been enforcing our antitrust laws for the last 25 years. Maybe then media conglomerates wouldn’t be violating our fundamental rights to appeal to a fragile, narcissistic autocrat.

Hapers letter signers, now is your moment!

Overall, this rapid media consolidation during this political and economic moment scares me easily as much as the administrations political theater other the military.

CNN: You know who we should have on to talk political violence? The PizzaGate dude who wrote a book praising Franco and Pinochet. Yea the guy who said “We don’t negotiate with unhumans" at NatCon, talking about progressives, calling it a fight between "civilization versus barbarism"

Posobiec - whose ties to white supremacists are legion - wrote a book last year called “Unhumans” in which he labeled half the country UNHUMAN It is language designed to inspire political violence yet our cable news channels have made him a talking head about political violence

i think what is most annoying here is that the people who have covered this movement for the last decade have basically had to stare into the abyss - you gotta expose yourself to a *lot* of dumb and upsetting stuff. and now these ppl have to watch others kool-aid man into the discourse w/o context

The number of Americans who have discovered names like Jack Posobiec and Nick Fuentes this past week without knowing what they actually stand for is pretty alarming

I guess I should link to the video for posterity. Normalizing a guy like Jack Posobiec is a really dark place to be as a country.

here's the curriculum i guess www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia... www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Reading through the Times headlines today (you know the ones), it's abundantly clear how much we need @letsgomathias.bsky.social book (Coming out in Feb! Preorder now!). bookshop.org/p/books/to-c...

Just spotted a Trmp 2028 sticker on a pillar at the 7th Ave Q station in Park Slope, in case anyone had any illusions about the state of our constitutional democracy.

New Substack post today. Sigh, 19th century anti-abortion arguments included the all-too-familiar worries that the "wrong people" would have big families.

Yes. Exactly this.

Opening up my schedule for some one-hour strategic publicity consultations in the first half of August, will close the appointment books when it feels right. DM for details.

This bill is an act of war by the billionaires and their white nationalist allies against the people of the United States. It will take health care from millions of people to fund tax cut for billionaires, secret police to arrest the President’s critics, and concentration camps. It’s fascism.

You know, not everything has to be The Greatest Hits of the Worst of the 20th Century. We could have some of the nice things we got rid of....

My "libertarian" NH inlaws are always bragging about the "tax free" state liquor store, totally missing the point that it's actually all tax socialism.

to call this a crime against humanity is true but inadequate — it’s a crime against all creation

Really proud to be ranking Lander #1 tomorrow. NYC is a massive bureaucracy, an incredible living system filled with more systems. The city is filled with remarkable initiatives and amazing programs & tons of possibilities. Our best mayors have been managers first, that's the job.

I would rather it be pouring down rain than whatever this migraine-inducing BS is going on right now

Now leading HuffPost: My story on Erik Kurilla. The “emboldened & empowered” US general is wielding rare influence in Trump administration policy-making about a US strike on Iran — and he's known to be deeply pro-Israel & supportive of aggressive military action in the Middle East.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

The reason we can’t afford social services is because we give the lion’s share of our money to either actual military to beat up on people abroad, or paramilitary forces to beat up on people at home. We should stop doing that.

The way nobody can drive well anymore because of GPS — not just atrophied turn-by-turn navigation, but the way ppl no longer know the layouts of their town or the names of roads or what to do when the map doesn’t match the terrain — that’s what genAI is doing to communication skills and literacy

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

The thing about Andrew Cuomo is, even if he weren’t corrupt as fuck, and even if he weren’t a creep, and even if he didn’t killed one of every four grandmothers in New York during Covid… he hates New York City and did everything he could to destroy it as Governor.

Dr. Hayden is a consummate professional, career librarian, and public servant. I cannot think of anyone in the Trump administration who is fit to address the Librarian of Congress in this way:

This is such an amazing story of reproductive autonomy among enslaved women, using cotton root as a clandestine "menstrual regulator." maryfissell.substack.com/p/g-is-for-m...
