Today, December 7, 1pm-2pm Families are being traumatized with impossible choices: separation or deportation. This is happening all over our cityâand our countryâwith little attention. Join us to stand up in opposition to this cruelty. Terrorizing our communities must stop.

First graders were out in force in Astoria today, standing in solidarity with their 6-yo classmate Yuanxin, who was detained and separated from his father by ICE at an asylum check-in. Kids aren't pawns, and ICE sucks.

There are some people who seem to see the recovery of ecosystems in a deforested waste as a personal affront. It's about power, and different landscapes reflect the different ways in which power is distributed - or concentrated.

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables. Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine. Is this why?

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
