Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group. www.importantcontext.news/p/hhs-is-usi...

I love being Puerto Rican 🇵🇷

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city. Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

🚨BREAKING: Local Minneapolis police SWARM ICE protesters making mass arrests in front of ICE prison. One protesters forehead is gushing blood ⬇️

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I usually avoid sharing what feels like "inside baseball" political analysis here, but this merits an exception because of the stakes + scale involved. Zohran isn't "wrong" to endorse Hochul; he has no choice. But for primary voters to back Hochul would definitely be unwise. Let me explain why. 🧵

Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom. Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me

The 22-year-old's family is now calling on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stop the NYPD from responding to mental health crisis calls, which the mayor says has underscored the need for the City agency he pitched during his campaign: the Department of Community Safety.

can’t not hear and see:

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

She's using slurs in committee meetings and not a single mention of it.

This is a very shocking profile of Mace that nonetheless makes no mention of her obsessive and abusive behavior towards trans people in Congress, one of the more dangerous manifestations of her desperate addiction to attention

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Friends, remember: Zohran himself can't afford to criticize Hochul too much; the governor exerts too much control over NYC for him to afford the risk. But just because Z isn't criticizing Hochul doesn't mean that we shouldn't. In fact, the Left's *OUTSIDE* must do so, because our inside-man cannot.

Zohran is right: NYC has a $12B gap because Eric Adams under-budgeted by at least $10 billion. The good news is that the fix is simple, for the money's here—in the form of 2% more to collect from NYC's $1M+ incomes. Our task: move Hochul by making @delgadoforny.bsky.social popular.

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.  
That’s what we have to change.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

As someone who has spent over 35 years trying to explain that violence is inherent to policing only to have most people be OK with this, I could be excused if I decided to just give up. But I'm not. I knew we would be where we are today. I still think that we do not have to live like this.

“Hundreds of immigrant mothers” in Texas concentration camp uprising

The police are doing everything they can to say "we're not like ICE" when it's policing that led the way for ICE.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

🔥 THREE THOUSAND!! Over 3K trans youth & their families have had their personal info protected after legal challenge! It was such an honor to be on the @lawyers4goodgov.bsky.social team defending the privacy rights of patients of Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. l4gg.org/DOJSubpoenaWin

One of wildest thing about this is their Free Palestine signs/chants

I've reported from a lot of LGBTQ+ rallies, protests, Pride events, etc but this is the most I've seen people shoved or yelled at (or that I myself have been yelled at) by anti-trans activists. it was the first time in a long time at a DC rally that the anti-trans crowd was as big as the trans crowd

“They definitely expanded their efforts,” said @raquelwillis.com of @genderlib.com, suggesting that anti-trans efforts to sway Dems toward skepticism on trans youth in sports added to the anti-trans crowd’s numbers Tues. there were transphobic signs from both Dems and gay cis people at the crowd

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

I simply cannot understand hating on trans people. Look at these kids! How would anyone NOT want the best for them? Why would anyone work to remove the smiles from these faces? It’s bizarre and wrong, let them find the space to thrive 💚

So working as designed then.

GLM photographed the trans youth, athletes, creators and activists who came from all over to stand in solidarity with athletes outside of the court during the hearing. More in @teenvogue.com story: www.teenvogue.com/gallery/tran...

Stop and frisk led to this moment of asking for papers.

Acting like the police will "save" people from ICE is a big misunderstanding of policing.

Not enough people are connecting the very easy dots between the inherent violence of policing and ICE. Both must be abolished.

Listening to Hakeem Jeffries on MSNBC say what ICE really needs is body cameras...

I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

Really depressing that the anti-trans crowd in front of SCOTUS yesterday was much bigger than they had it was during Skirmetti hearing last year. They also may have had more cis queer people on their side than we had on ours (not enough cis queer people are showing up for trans folks rn)

NYSNA nurses go wild as Mayor Zohran Mamdani arrives at the picket line in Washington Heights @thecity.nyc

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

This is always message in the country at large when it comes to policing. There isn't any police interaction that isn't defined by this way of thinking in the U.S. They should have obeyed and complied is the default, always.

What did I say.

Rode the train a short while ago and saw a group enter to pass out flyers about this protest tomorrow and one gave a short speech about the importance of standing up for Renee Good and Silverio Villegas González. Chicago is organizing.
