Contract faculty at my alma mater NYU are on strike. I swung by the Paulson Center and hundreds of faculty and allies were on the picket line.

counted 25 ICE officers (most with ERO vests) during my 26-minute wait in the LGA Terminal C Touchless line this morning. every one of them was either standing doing nothing or slowly walking the length of the line doing nothing. at least four were in masks.

Democracy Now! celebration at Riverside Church tonight

Bruce Springsteen, Angela Davis and Patti Smith were among the impressive line-up at Democracy Now's 30th Anniversary event at Riverside Church tonight, a celebration of Amy Goodman and her journalist colleagues.

Surprise appearance from Bruce Springsteen at the end of the Democracy Now 30th Anniversary celebration at Riverside Church this evening. He sang his new anti-ICE anthem Streets of Minneapolis.

This week, the average daily population at Dilley dropped to 100 people, compared with over 900 in January. The shift follows weeks of mounting public pressure generated in part by the widespread publication of letters written by detained children. @micarosenberg.bsky.social @mckenziefunk.com

Got standing room tickets for a play, thinking 'No problem, I can lean for 90 minutes.' Until I saw what I have to lean on.

Rise and Resist demonstration this evening reading the names of people who have died in ICE detention and killed by ICE in 2025 and so far this year.

Three people killed by drivers this week in NYC. If this had happened on the subway we wouldn’t stop talking about the DaNgER

Some days it’s political outrage. Some days it’s magic and whimsy. Most days it’s both. Art by @katieabey.bsky.social ✨🔥

for me “doom scrolling” is actually just the pathological hunt for the first piece of news that indicates this whole unbearable moment is about to unravel

One of my favorite signs at the counterprotest to Nazi Jake Lang's little anti-Muslim rally at Gracie Mansion today

Nazi Jake Lang showed up in NYC today with a few of his fellow loser white supremacists for an anti Muslim protest. They brought a (totally innocent) live goat to their tiny little rally. But lots of New Yorkers turned up to counterprotest.

The world we live in is a world where wars are not fought for any strategic power competition reasons at all, but one where they are fought specifically to generate imagery of suffering for sadistic perverts to get off to without any more thought put into why than that

Citizen Action of New York has announced another round of endorsements for key legislative races, backing a list of leaders who have already proven they stand ready to fight for everyday New Yorkers and advance a bold, people-first agenda in Albany.

Thank you, Texas! I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of our beautiful state. Together, we’re going to take on corruption and it’s going to be a new day in TX. You have put your faith in me, and I promise to put my all into fighting for you and your families. On to November!

State Representative Gina Hinojosa has won the Democratic Governor primary in Texas. She will run against Trump loyalist Gov. Greg Abbott in the general election.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

More than 1000 people rallied together to protest the building of an 🧊facility in #Roxbury #NJ www.northjersey.com/story/news/i...

Less regime change, more therapy please. #iran #war #trump

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this: I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

26 buses from across New York brought folks to Albany today to ask Kathy Hochul to tax the richest NYers so that we can fund vital programs and services.

Eye-popping margins in the Pennsylvania special elections today: —Democrats won HD94 by 63 points. (Harris won it by 30 in 2024.) —Democrats won HD42 by 35 points. (Harris won it by 17 in 2024.) [The 2024 numbers are via the essential @the-downballot.com].

At least in Central Park yesterday some of the cops managed to have a sense of humor about the snowball fights.

Happy blizzard morning, New York City!

Papaya. Repulsive.

ICE’s terror is traumatizing our kids. Take a look at what these parents had to say.

Happy President's Day from NYC!

One of the most successful pieces of far right propaganda was to convince so many Christians that helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, loving all our neighbors, and caring for our planet was “leftist” and wasn’t actually part of following Jesus.

NewYork-Presbyterian nurses rejected a tentative agreement by overwhelming margins Wednesday, voting to extend their strike — now 30 days running — against the hospital. www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/11/n...

🔥🔥🔥

I'm voting Delgado and would urge others to as well - and also be vocal about the fact in order to help push Hochul leftward. Zohran has to do what he has to do politically, but progressives need to keep working to elect more progressives.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

I hope everyone is ready for Zohran’s next big mayoral test: Not Killing A Groundhog

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

Manhattan folks gathering for training to protect our communities from the federal government. #knowyourrights #abolishice

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

NYC out in the streets again tonight in solidarity with Minneapolis following today's CBP killing of Alex Pretti. #abolishice #nojusticenopeace

Mood in minneapolis right now

"ICE Out for Good" solidarity march with Minneapolis tonight in NYC - huge turnout for an evening protest.

The only explanation for this vote by Maine's Jared Golden, who isn't running again, is that he genuinely hates POC and is looking forward to watching ICE hunt them in his district.

The ICE deaths we're not talking about Trump's biggest concentration camp in Texas is rocked by 3 deaths in 33 days - one deemed 'homicide' after a violent encounter with guards. The ICE detention death rate is 10X (!!) Biden's final year My new column on a crisis www.inquirer.com/opinion/deat...

Just finished lobbying in Albany for parole reform, meeting with NY legislators about the Elder Parole bill and Fair & Timely Parole bill. New Yorkers, please contact your state assemblymember and state senator and ask them to co-sponsor these life-saving (and money-saving) bills!

Minnesota's Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth made a Facebook post critical of an anti-ICE protest at a church, and got ratioed by her own daughter in the comments www.facebook.com/LisaforMN/po...

NYC students: time to take up the baton and walkout to free NYC and free America. We refuse to be silenced, we refuse to repeat history. Join the walkout this Friday at 11: bit.ly/nycstudentwalkout

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

Honestly I'm shocked anybody but collaborators had a problem with this protest. If one of my pastors was secretly an ICE goon, I'd be thanking protesters for outing them.
