My latest — The accusations of antisemitism against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani have been some of the most appalling smears I’ve seen in my years covering politics. I wrote about the concerted attack, & pressure for American Jews to define a local political race through the lens of Israel:

Lander is the guy who gives the whole thing away: he's extremely experienced, he's successfully promoted development and housing expansion—and yet the people who say those are what matters are throwing their money and grievance behind a washed-up ghoul they trucked in from Westchester

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

Congressmen Jerry Nadler and Dan Goldman enter 26 Federal Plaza to observe immigration court and ICE offices. Rep Lander was detained here yesterday.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The NY Times non-endorsement and its “eh, Brad’s fine but not super awesome and tough like the big ol’ sex pest” take looks worse with each passing moment.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

Arresting elected officials. Scooping immigrants up at the courthouse doing the right thing. This has nothing to do with criminals. It's quotas. Fucking cowards.

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

About today's public transit discourse: I believe that riding public transit is a spiritual good for increasing your empathy and practicing minding your own business. It also helps you internalize that most people mind their own business, e.g. no one is looking at you.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

Sexual harassment is the canary in the corruption coal mine. If Cuomo/any elected official is willing to abuse government staff, they're sure as hell willing to abuse every other form of power they have. Sexual harassment is corruption, period.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

we’ve gotten this kind of Q a lot and here’s what I can say [mini 🧵 incoming] ideally, it is always best to fill all five ballot slots with candidates because that will ensure you have a voice — and your ballot is not ‘exhausted’ — if there are many rounds of tallying however!!! …

Mamdani's lack of experience managing a bureaucracy actually does worry me, but I vastly prefer someone with no experience to someone with a demonstrated track record of incompetence, abuse and criminality.

Will say again that even if enacted, the ebike speed limit will of course be barely enforced by status quo NYPD and will not address the ebike stuff people dislike such as: - sidewalk riding - zooming thru intersections - bad passing skills re other bike riders

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes
