I was in class all day but I wish I had been in the courtroom

Lest we forget that other ICE supervisors, like this woman, feel emboldened enough to pose with a lollipop for the camera in between kidnapping innocent people. The SS of our time should not feel so invincible to broach human rights violations. I hope soon we all realize what we've done.

ICE Confirms Agents Do Not Have Faces Beneath Masks

UN: “Kids dying of starvation… what we give them is a peanut butter paste. We’ve been told we can’t bring that in because it’s a luxury.” AMANPOUR: “Seriously?”

Thread. If you have a brilliant reason why someone is doing it wrong, please consider there might be reasons why it is being done that way.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

proud of my union every day

I think it would be helpful if DA Bragg charged a few of these assaults. If the agents think that federal law immunizes them for actions that would result in ordinary New Yorkers being charged, let them litigate it.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear: We want ICE out of New York City. We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

NYC-area folks! Please come out to this "New Yorkers Against ICE" rally tomorrow at 6:00PM in Foley Square. My union helped organize this action, and we're hoping for a big turnout. Foley Square is just a couple of blocks away from the immigration courthouses where ICE is kidnapping our neighbors.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

My generation doesn’t always suck

Audre Lorde in 1953, about to leave for Mexico.

Shades of Logan Roy’s memorial: “he wasn’t a friend; it was just politics” “oh, as opposed to his good personal friends from choir”

We don't hate our enemies because we are hateful. We hate them because of all the people and things that we love.

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel. First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

As it was Adorno’s bday yesterday, a little note from Teddy on “the stupidity of cleverness,” addressed no doubt to recent authors of widely disseminated opinion columns in liberal newspapers

of the many many infuriating things about this is - you know how many of us fucking sucked it up to vote for a party that had backed genocide?? and begged others to do the same while it broke our hearts? and he has the gall to fucking lecture us about discomfort. get the fuck out of here

i remain resolute in my confidence we will win and it will be because we stuck together. dooming and fatalism is not how any of us will get out of this mess. i’m saying this as a veteran climate journalist who is a trans woman. if i have more hope than you, think of what that says about your view

It is and will always be Free Palestine, not just feed the hungry or end the siege but libération and what that Free looks like is not up to anyone but Palestinians.

Keep NYC pension money out of Israeli bonds! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

HAPPENING NOW: We’re at 26 Fed Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the 10th fl - where people are being inhumanely detained - and to block ICE vans from leaving. We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY

Happening NOW: PSC members + allies are at 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the detention site on 10th floor—and block ICE vans from leaving. We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. #NYvsICE #ICEoutofNY

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Maybe it's the Jew in me but I don't think Ezra Klein is stupid; I think the subtext of his articles is "please don't shoot me." It's human, but he should be honest about that and/or cede his platform

"Today’s great danger likely isn’t open war in the streets, but the quiet march of an extremist agenda already advancing through institutions. That may bring with it an even greater violence." Important corrective: theintercept.com/2025/09/17/c...

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Israel is doing BDS on itself to silence dissent

Probably not a coincidence that Fonda and Streisand co-starred in two iconic romantic comedies in which they played the complicated, messy lead to Redford's more buttoned up character. his performances too were generous

This is part of making American Jews wards of the state, receiving a temporary reprieve from the systematic cuts to the humanities in the US, in exchange for capturing us and making us potential scapegoats if public anger rises. It's court Jews all over again. ejewishphilanthropy.com/neh-awards-i...

incredible piece on how the genocide apologia sausage gets made: bidoun.org/articles/hou...

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

One of the most important reasons for higher ed faculty/staff to get involved in organizing with others? To reduce the chances you become a snitch or collaborator when the pressure is put on you. I'm 100% serious.

Wow this campaign keeps outdoing itself. A history lesson tied to the present and connected to one of my favorite badass history ladies rolled into one???

One of the reasons I love The Way We Were so much is that it's the rare case - Jon Hamm in Mad Man and a few early Jude Law roles are others - where a man's beauty is part of the story, the way it always is for women's beauty

A horrific bombing and shelling, and now tanks reported in the centre of Gaza. The ground invasion of Gaza city appears to have started. Thousands fleeing for their lives

We are proud co-sponsors of the "New Yorkers Against ICE" rally on Thursday, 9/25 at 6pm in Foley Square.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Guys my experiences are completely subjective, but I gotta be honest, if you log off social media and go about your day for a couple hours, it really does not feel like America is in mourning.

Behold, the best 9/11 humor of all time: The Onion's TV listings (my favorite row is MTV)

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

We watched greatest dictator with the kids. It’s both darker, more interesting and funnier than I expected.
