NYC has become a policy wonk paradise. Congestion pricing, just cause, universal pre-K, ranked choice voting. Just bold experiments, derided and fear-mongered by centrists and status quo supporters, that ultimately are revealed to work EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

I wrote the Jacobin editors and it appears they struck the offending paragraph. I appreciate that they took my concerns seriously and made this factual correction.

I’m so pissed that Jacobin editors insinuate my union has anything, but solidarity for David Huerta. We represent State prison staff, NOT federal prisons or officers. This is such a lazy statement to make when the public record is one Google search away. They should issue a correction.

Years ago, in the Obama-era Silicon Valley ZIRP boom, I thought that people would have no problem disrupting autonomous cars. Last week it became reality. Expect these cars to become increasingly fortified and panoptic nightmares.

The endless stream of “violence isn’t the way” takes from the media inaugurates riot season—a time of strife that lasts as long as the takes are published.

UPDATE: David Huerta has been released from the hospital but remains in custody. His words: "We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice." Free David Huerta. Free them ALL.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...
