"In the first 10 days of June 2025, ICE agents in NYC made 495 arrests — more than twice the arrests it made in all of June last year." The influx of ICE agents at courthouses undermines our right to due process and traumatizes immigrant families. None of this makes New Yorkers safer.

A friendly reminder that this is (still) unconstitutional, whether the federal courthouse doors are open to hear the claim or not. bsky.app/profile/thet...

Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds. Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

And if the claim is that because he's Muslim, he has a special obligation to prove it: Stop and think about what you're saying. 3) Many, many Jews support Mamdani. Starting with Brad Lander. So there's no claiming "Jews in NYC feel X." Please take from this, FINALLY, that we are not a monolith. >

Worth noting that Erez Reuveni has vigorously defended the government’s immigration policies over the last decade, as it was his job to do. This letter’s allegations are shocking (though not surprising, alas) and should be taken with the utmost seriousness.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

BREAKING: We are suing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman over his unlawful unlawful 287(g) agreement with ICE, which gives Nassau police the authority to stop, question, and arrest any resident they believe is in the U.S. illegally. This agreement is in blatant defiance of state law.

The Polls Are Open! If you did not early vote today is the last day to vote in NYC. Find your polling site at findmypollsite.vote.nyc Stay hydrated, stay cool and GO VOTE!!!

Good morning, NYC! It’s Election Day — and polls are open until 9 PM. Together, we can deliver a more affordable and safer city. But first, we gotta vote for it! findmypollsite.vote.nyc

TOMORROW'S Election Day, and we created an interactive demo where you can rank your choices and see how your vote counts! zellnor4.nyc/rcv REMEMBER: * VOTE JUNE 24 * RANK ZELLNOR #1 * RANK UP TO 5 CANDIDATES FROM WFP SLATE * DON'T RANK CUOMO

This is great. @zellnor.bsky.social is running two anti-Cuomo ads per hour on every Black radio station in NYC through 8pm Election Day.

Trump’s reckless & unconstitutional strikes against Iran are a dangerous escalation of war — and threaten countless Iranian, Israeli & American lives. My thoughts are with families fearing for their safety, and the thousands of New Yorkers worrying tonight about loved ones in Iran.

If y’all see the water kids outside today and tomorrow tell them I got some paid work for them on Election Day.

As a Jewish person I also think it really fucking sucks to smear the first Muslim mayoral candidate as an antisemite!!! www.thehandbasket.co/p/smearing-z...

Local and state prosecutors have the power to enforce state criminal laws. There are a lot of state criminal laws. Working for ICE does not confer magical immunity from them. State crimes are not pardonable by the president. Sorry to be a broken record.

Good morning, NYC! I'll be visiting polling sites across the city 🗳️🌆 Polls are open from 9 AM to 5 PM — come say hi!

Every argument from Robin Vos to Chris Rufo to Trump arguing that universities need more "viewpoint diversity" is, implicitly or explicitly, a call to normalize & tolerate stuff like this in the classroom. It's fundamentally incompatible with running serious universities. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Early voting is still on in New York City! Beat the heat and get out the vote ☀️ ⤵️

We are one week away from Election Day! Do you have a voting plan yet? Share it with three of your friends!

Excellent reporting here. Do read.

A friend just texted me from LA that this was happening at the park she was at

We feed you. They hunt us.

First, those cities MAGA wants you to think are on fire? Seeing murder hit historic lows; NYC heading for lowest *ever recorded.* Second, the decline has happened as the number of cops has FALLEN. Third, Jeff joins @johnkroman.bsky.social and others in pointing to SOCIAL investment as a driver

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

I mean this is just straight up cheerleading for fascism.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

Left the debate stage last night feeling energized — and grateful. To all those who have stepped up to volunteer, thank you. You’re crushing it! But we need all the support we can get — help us bring change to NYC: mobilize.us/zellnorfornyc

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social region9a.uaw.org/news/NYCMayo...

At the risk of stating the preposterously obvious, wearing a mask to prevent the spread of a highly contagious pathogen is very different from a government official wearing a mask to frustrate accountability for their wrongful conduct.

well he did. IN DISGRACE. Don't rank Cuomo. Don't put him anywhere on your ballot. Instead, #RankTheSlate - Mamdani, Lander, Adrienne Adams, Ramos, Myrie, in whatever order you like.

12 days until Early Voting. 22 days until Election Day. Now is the time to get involved! We can Rebuild NYC together ➡️ mobilize.us/zellnorfornyc

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Proud to have the support of @jumaane.bsky.social. As Public Advocate, he has fought for safer streets and truly affordable housing across New York City!

THE KNICKS ARE 3 WINS AWAY FROM THE NBA FINALS ‼️🚨

THE KNICKS STEAL GAME 3 ON THE ROAD 🤯 There have been SIX 20-point comebacks during the 2024-25 NBA playoffs. New York has three of them.

I’ve got a piece in the @nytimes.com this morning on the Supreme Court’s quiet but radical shadow-docket order last week handing Trump yet another tool to eliminate independent expertise & authority and consolidate presidential control over the executive branch www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/o...

Law prof takes pains to move Overton window by writing NYT op-ed contesting more than a century of understanding of the Citizenship Clause then...praises Donald Trump for "uncanny" (HOW DID HE DO THAT?!) ability to move Overton window in NYT news story

Refusing to comply with an administrative warrant to conduct a search of one's private property is not and cannot be a criminal offense.

For the umpteenth - but almost certainly not last time - the institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy.

State supreme courts are a battlefield for pressing issues, from abortion rights to ballot access. But do you know how your court works? Our guide breaks down the structure and procedures of every single state’s highest court. boltsmag.org/whats-o...

Exactly this. If our court system remains at all functional, Rumeysa Ozturk will win an easy victory on First Amendment grounds… after having been locked up and suffered serious health consequences for two months. How many legal immigrants will be inclined to express opinions that risk such a “win”?

I’m running for Mayor to lower child care costs — and increase opportunities for our children. And I have the most ambitious plan of any candidate: ✅ Afterschool for All ✅ Full Day 3-K and Pre-K until 6 PM ✅ Universal Summer Youth Employment
