My evening outside the 6-block exclusion zone the NYPD set up yesterday to shield an illegal West Bank land sale, hanging out with kheffiyeh-masked protesters, anti-Zionist Haredim, ultrazionist provocateurs, many cops, so many inconvenienced neighborhood residents. hellgatenyc.com/nypd-shields...

Whew, once we get to her passing and memorials - this is fucking me up!

Police are using the surveillance state to stalk "love interests" because there really is no difference between the part of my job where I fight state surveillance and the part where I fight domestic abuse: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Who needs horror movies when we have this nymag.com/intelligence...

Serious drama at the Park Slope Food Coop!!

Beef season 2 is not good but it is an excellent vehicle for Charles Melton’s comedic chops

Wrote some fiction tonight! Very little of it and it's not very good, but I'm finally making myself do it, please clap

Just started, yay! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/677583...

This #MayDay groups who have been organizing around policing, immigration enforcement, and abolition of ICE for decades like BAJI @criticalresistance.bsky.social @detentionwatchnetwork.org & @interruptcrim.bsky.social wanted to offer some clarity around what it means to demand to #AbolishICE #NOICE

Just finished A Brief History of Seven Killings and wow

I think if someone sitting next to you on public transportation is playing audio out loud without earbuds it should be legal to kill them

Really suffering drafting a 500-word essay for a grad school application and wondering if more grad school is in fact the right move

Hey all, it’s publishing day for my book “How to Sell a Genocide,” which is a data-driven account of centrist and liberal media’s role in creating the conditions of mass death in Gaza. 100% of royalties go to @mecaforpeace.bsky.social. > www.plutobooks.com/product/how-... > a.co/d/00CQcElr

This season of The Comeback is really good

Watched most of the Euphoria premiere and I think Chester Barnhill would've done better www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPQF...

Probably the only person in NYC happy about these cool temperatures

There's no mention of prison abolitionist opposition to the borough jails plan in this article (is there a specific reason people wouldn't die in these jails?) and I'm also wondering about the 104-bed facility for people with serious medical needs - is it in Bellevue? Can't tell from this article

"By stripping the right to asylum, nations are creating a growing underclass of placeless, rightless people to police in perpetuity, and an ever-greater policing apparatus with which to crack down on them—and, increasingly, everyone else" - @tanvi.bsky.social jewishcurrents.org/the-death-of...

I hate The Strokes but apparently they used their Coachella set for political education about the US overthrowing democratically elected leaders of other countries and ??? not bad !!!

Call your Senators today!!! Tell them to vote for Sanders' Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block weapons to Israel I just called and left voicemails for Schumer and Gillibrand, which feels like nothing but is a little more than nothing

In 2003, US citizen Rachel Corrie was killed by Israeli soldiers using a US-provided bulldozer. Her parents are calling on senators to vote yes today to block $295 million worth of these bulldozers to Israel. Join them by calling your senators TODAY:

Boots Riley knows when the people are in need (new movie of his in theaters May 22)

Abolitionist organizers in PA just had an incredible victory against LWOP (Life w/out Parole), also known as death by incarceration truthout.org/articles/pas...

Also will someone please buy me this book pmpress.org/index.php?l=...

Attended the launch on April 4, highly recommend this exhibit and its related events prismreports.org/2026/04/13/w...

an excerpt from the first 12 pages of my upcoming book 'How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza'. It publishes in a week but evidently copies are already shipping, so

The DACA program was created to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. as children. But since January 2025, ICE has detained more than 260 DACA recipients and deported more than 80. https://to.pbs.org/4ebXR0R

A young black man was sentenced to 5 - 20 years yesterday for setting fire to empty NYPD cars I'm following Jakhi McCray's support committee on IG to stay updated and provide support where I can: www.instagram.com/jakhisolidar... abc7ny.com/post/brookly...

This is complete balls. Fair labor practices now, @propublica.org, who do you think your readers and donors are

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

"Why don't Americans—" we do. That's why many of my friends are in prison or dead.

If you're in New York City tonight and feel helpless in the face of the violent genocidal maniacs that run our country — show up. it's better than doomscrolling alone.

Defense for Children International - Palestine was a plaintiff in DCIP v Biden which sought to end the genocide It was the first time Palestinians testified in US federal court about the atrocities of Israel against them (I think, but lmk if I'm mistaken) www.uscourts.gov/court-record...

The day gets worse. Defense for Children International - Palestine is shutting down. DCIP has been huge in helping document human rights abuses against Palestinian kids & giving them legal support in an otherwise apartheid system for 35 years. Amid attacks from Israel, it's now shuttering.

Adding to the mental inventory of foods to eat once I hit rock bottom, right behind the Papa John’s pizza sized chocolate chip cookie

Real good stuff in this exhibit at Brooklyn Public Library - Bedford Branch

If you want to help, there’s a petition to demand Rodney’s release. Please sign, share and encourage others to sign! Public pressure makes a difference and disabled people are left behind far too often. Let’s ensure Rodney doesn’t get left behind: www.change.org/p/demand-the...

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

I'm glad to see this but don't believe the criminal system will be effectively leveraged against the violence of immigration enforcement www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

When I say I'm an abolitionist, I mean I advocate to abolish NYU

Times are tough but this new Slayyyter album is excellent

I’m reading War and Peace, and you know, probably a lot more people would read it if they knew just how extremely cunty the dialogue is

Seems like hope and inspiration is the vibe on here today, so here's this: Formerly incarcerated women doing amazing things in elected office truthout.org/articles/for...

NYC City Council passed this terrible "buffer zone" bill - aimed directly at protests of illegal Israeli land sells at synagogues - with enough votes to override the mayor's veto www.thecity.nyc/2026/03/26/s...

Just finished No One Dies Yet! Exciting stuff, looking forward to more from Kobby Ben Ben Now starting A Brief History of Seven Killings

In addition to showing another aspect of the immigration regime’s violence, this article offers such an intimate and profound view of someone’s experience at the end of their life that I feel weird for even reading it www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

I just learned that Naomi Wolf lives in Flatbush and I’m not happy about it!
