I’m glad I had another chance to stand by fellow New Yorkers to say in a loud voice “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, TRUMP & ICE HAVE TO GO!” Kevin Porter, Renee Good & others under ICE custody did not die in vain. #handsoff #nokings #protest #nyc #nycprotest #handsoffnyc #nowars #saytheirnames

I want to share the energy of the people in New York City standing up against ICE and its blood-stained abuses against citizens and non-citizens alike. #abolishice #handsoff #handsoffnyc #sayhername #fueraice

ICE will eventually melt once SPRING comes, all of NY is ready to stand up and fight back. #handsoff #protest #sayhername RIP Renee Nicole Good!

I wanted to make a hyperlocal post related to the protests outside the courthouse where Maduro was in court here in #nyc, enjoy my newest post on #Substack. Please check it out! open.substack.com/pub/jjreport...

I came down to the court house to see how things are after 🇻🇪 president Nicolás Maduro plead “not guilty.” Everything is calm around here in Lower Manhattan, despite the small group of protesters and counter-protesters close to reporters.

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.
