How *is* Mamdani doing?? I don't really know, and thankful that Hammer and Hope has this handy round up of analyses from organizers, educators, journalists hammerandhope.org/forums/mamda...

Wondering how many other people were just kicked off SNAP because of new Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents requirements (which I’ve fulfilled!) Love to learn this Friday evening, so I can’t do anything about it until Monday

We are not letting NYPL cut its Prison and Jail Services, right?

As @lind-l.bsky.social points out, NYPL has its own physical library infrastructure at Rikers. While Brooklyn Public Library also has a program that works with people on Rikers, they have to cart in books every time.

Read this carefully: this is about Zionism and Israel. Nothing more, nothing less. Mamdani backed anti-Zionist candidates who DNC funders do not like. So they’re sending out overseers to do some beating. Tish James is a stalwart Zionist & will now shit on the idea of representative democracy.

Sentences of 30, 40, 50, 100 years www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of the Trump admin on Temporary Protected Status, blocking the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, allowing DHS to strip over 350,000 people of legal status even though they utterly failed to follow the required legal procedures.

Thrasher speaking tonight at Word is Change bookstore in Brooklyn Can't decide to attend this, or the Queer Cinema in Palestine fundraiser www.thewordischange.com/events/thras...

Having a nice little afternoon break courtesy of this excellent Little Free Library find

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

All three progressive candidates backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani — including two who took on Democratic incumbents — won their primaries in safe seats almost guaranteeing their election in November. n.pr/4ahbysP

I was gonna read and share all the articles I’ve bookmarked about the criminalization of protest but everyone on here is having such a great time, I can’t kill the vibes

Park Slope Food Coop offering one on one meetings with the GM for anyone who needs one after the BDS vote, the implication being that management is here to hug any Zionist who needs it 🤮

He was supposed to be one of the good ones

Any shred of 90s nostalgia I had was gone soon as I learned Joseph Gordon Levitt has something to do with Peter Thiel

What’s the status of the 100k fee for H1B visas, did that move forward or did some judge somewhere relieve us?

I hate Gillibrand and this isn’t the worst of it

You haven’t watched The Warriors until you watch it with a 60 year old lifelong NYC resident cinephile who works on film sets (my friend gave her dad the best Father’s Day gift, a screening of The Warriors on YouTube)

Done! Not sure what to say, Erdrich is great but this one was upsetting Now, what should I read next? 🤔

If someone could buy me one of the Kermit/Miss Piggy posters it’d be appreciated

Various kids and families have been turned away from visiting detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey because of a dress code with constantly changing details and rules www.jezebel.com/ice-is-apply...

Reminders: 1. Juneteenth ain’t got shit to do w/ “unity”; it’s about when the memo arrived to Galveston, TX in 1865 that this slavery shit is over 2. Opal Lee fought for decades to make Juneteenth a national holiday, so don’t insult her w/ some “it should’ve never been a national holiday” bullshit

You don't have to go to Delaney Hall to assist Organizers have created calls for action that you can join, from anywhere in the world: www.lahuelga.com/delaneystrik...

My latest published in @truthout.org and the @theappeal.org. Delaney Hall detainees: “We deserve to be free and to complete the process at home with our families. We demand freedom, a fair trial, and for our rights to be respected.”

Excellent awareness-raising also, as bad as lower Manhattan traffic is, it's great that it makes ICE's job a little harder! hellgatenyc.com/ice-vehicle-...

Thinking about the need for events/spaces that facilitate new connections amongst those of us who are not young (went to a queer meetup tonight that I was simply too old for)

watching the livestream announcing "Minneapolis Antifa members to face federal charges." I'll livetweet it I guess. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ0h...

Power to the people fighting their unjust imprisonment in Delaney Hall truthout.org/articles/doz...

This family are Guatemalan Mayas who fled Guatemala for the US bc of the genocide (in which the US was involved) So the US govt has assisted the murder of their relatives in Guatemala and the separation of their immediate family in the US www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Imagine being a kid and learning both your parents were arrested by ICE. You’ll have to pay rent and survive on your own. I shadowed four siblings—US citizens near Mar-a-Lago—as they try to do that. I'll be thinking about their story for a long time 1/x www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I don’t care about sports but the palpable excitement in NYC is nice

A young Brooklynite testifying at city hall this morning asking the finance committee to devote 0.5% to NYC’s libraries. Now back to school! @nycplan.org

there is exactly one hope I have for tonight and it has nothing to do with any basketball wins

Demands for direct confrontation against the violent machinations of the state need to be accompanied by demands for sustained prisoner support We can't just shake our heads at these verdicts, we have to stay supporting criminalized people newrepublic.com/post/211138/...

Proud Boys have now arrived at Delaney Hall in New Jersey. Follow our livestream:
