Smart move by two young upstate NY reporters: they filed a FOIA for body cameras worn by the sheriff’s deputies at an ICE raid. These are almost always civil raids so there’s no ongoing criminal investigation that would require that footage to stay confidential. Replicable by any media outlet.

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

Ugh shoutout to Jupiter day, we LOVE Jupiter day

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

This morning we gathered on McGuinness Blvd. After a beloved Greenpoint teacher was killed in a crash, the local community thought they had won a transformative redesign of this dangerous road — then the work was halted by City Hall corruption. As Mayor, I’ll finish the job.

Every journalist in the West should hang their head in shame. You let this happen to Palestinian journalists, because you don't consider them humans, let alone colleagues. Remember when you rocked #JeSuisCharlie hashtags & avatars for weeks because 12 people were killed you did consider colleagues?

just finished a 7 week training to be a teacher........... this year has really felt like my foot is on the gas and the brake at the same time cuz wdym 😵‍💫

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

The last time a DSA-backed upstart overthrew an establishment Democrat in a NY mayoral primary, what happened next wasn't pretty. India Walton has some hard-won advice for Zohran Mamdani about what to expect, and how to handle it: hellgatenyc.com/india-walton...

Good morning NYC! Everyone get out and vote and encourage everyone around you to NOT RANK CUOMO

Damn right!!!

More than 50,000 new people have signed up to run for office since Trump's election in November, an unprecedented spike in young Democrats interested in seeking public office for the first time, says the progressive group Run for Something. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This is why I keep journaling. When this is all over, whether we're all here or not, my journal will live on as memory of these times. Primary sources matter. Books matter. Creativity matters.

I hate Jeffries so much. Like, to a degree I didn’t think possible. More than pelosi

Noteworthy, I think, that the Democratic establishment are putting much more effort into stopping Mamdani than stopping Trump

Mamdani's position here is excellent, and it's notable that he's become a major voice in lib-left FP just because the national power vacuum is so hard and the media demands statements of Muslims

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Khalil is now leading a march up alongside his supporters up Amsterdam Avenue and towards Columbia.

Right now in Morningside Heights: Mahmoud Khalil is speaking to his supporters after being released from ICE detention on Friday.

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

“My commitment is about delivering a city that is not only affordable to each and every New Yorker, but is one that each and every New Yorker feels proud of living in.”

Democrats could write a bill right now that reverses everything in the current GOP bill & run on that. They could take their own "Big Beautiful Bill" to the people & promise to pass it first thing if they regain power. It would be clear to everyone where they stand on those issues. They won't do it.

pivoting from social work to education has been such a wild journey. i've wanted to be a clinical therapist & astrologer since 2018 when i first started studying human services, but i feel so called to teaching.

The power of ranked choice voting is that you don’t have to choose between voting your ideal values and voting pragmatically to stop a horrible candidate. By ranking as many people as you are allowed, you can do both!

JENA, La. (AP) — Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil has been released from an immigration jail after 104 days in custody.

personally i think it’s cool that someone is willing to do something

Virtually every bodega in the city has a @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social poster in the window ✊️

I talked with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore about his decision to veto a reparations bill aimed at studying the impacts of slavery and what he plans to do instead

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Some background on Brad Lander’s arrest today by ICE agents at immigration court.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's comptroller, mayoral candidate Brad Lander, has been arrested while visiting an immigration court.

And I wanna double down on it! I've continuously revisited it in the week since and the session was such a lovely conversation on my chart. His lens is spiritual, humble, expert, and profound - you truly deliver, and I can't wait to book with you again!

OPEN FOR JULY ASTRO SESSIONS, first come, first serve; I should be fully booked faster than usual so within two days or so, as I already am 1/4 booked for July. My site is the only way to book (view on laptop): cielosueloastrology.com/booking

In the past six months, it occurred to me that people who doom online a lot don't know what's happening locally because they park themselves on the internet. And therein lies the problem. You can't sit on your hands and then complain about idle hands. If you want something change, go change it. 🤷🏿‍♀️

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Just walked into the most upsetting room hotel setup I've ever seen
