It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Prices are higher. People are desperate to hold on to their jobs. Mortgage rates are high. People are going to lose their healthcare. Trump is on TV grading the economy as an A+ & few reporters are calling this "out of touch" and screeching about the objectively terrible economy for most.

Good news: after organizing a 16-month rent strike, tenants across 5 buildings in East Harlem have won 6 months' rent credit and repairs from Emerald Equities—and now they're exploring how they might turn the buildings into a community land trust. Kudos to @cvhaction.bsky.social for this win.

One good thing about the current era is that you don't have to argue with people about the fact that white supremacy and racism permeate every aspect of US society. Everyone knows it and some even admit it.

ICE(ERO) just told me it has no body camera footage from operation midway blitz in Chicago in response to my FOIA request.

Remember when people said that his supporters weren't racist.... or that racism wasn't "salient" to understanding them.

If tomorrow they made being undocumented a felony, it wouldn’t justify any of this. Things that are harmless or even good can be criminalized.

Home care workers are organizing against Trump administration changes that end their right to federal minimum wage and overtime. Three million care workers, many of them Black and Latina women, could be classified as “companions” instead of professionals. capitalandmain.com/home-care-wo...

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Hakeem Jeffries was literally voting for a resolution condemning socialism while this meeting was taking place

Zohran walking into the Oval Office, focusing on his key policy platforms, and coming away with an unqualified win over Trump really puts into relief how bad the Democratic leadership is that it has been repeatedly rendered totally impotent and made to look like bumbling cowards by the Donald.

So I’m very committed to critiquing elected officials, and cringe at cults of personality and all that leftist jazz— but is Zohran, like, a sorcerer?
