Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

It's a shame the Democratic Party is systematically degraded every communication channel it has with its public in the name of fundraising.

Stephen Colbert just riffed on this incident, saying “Strong man go boom,” and then referred to Trump as Benito Boopsolini, Adolf Trippler, and Joseph Fallen.

As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. Data from the last six years, including 1.5 years of Trump's first term, reveals how this is completely unprecedented. It also helps explain the growing backlash.

Bless this man for standing up for immigrants, for freedom of speech, for due process, and for the Constitution of the United States. Vote for Mamdani, friends. Please make sure he's one of your five - and Cuomo is not.

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard? One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended. Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history? There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

Exactly this. I am sitting in the peaceful garden of my mom’s memory care center in LA —where many of the hardworking and excellent staff were born born in other countries. Trump is describing a city that exists in his head, not reality.

Street action to block ICE from illegally and violently invading residences and businesses is as peaceful as it gets. If the formal political system, including courts, cannot stop this violence, the final check on abusive power is mass action.

The arrest of union leader David Huerta is galvanizing a new element—solidarity: “Right now, just in the last 14 hours, labor unions are joining together from far and wide, communities are reaching out in ways I’ve never seen,” Orr told me. “Something is different.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

While Jessica Ramos went running to Cuomo the moment she got snubbed by AOC's endorsement, this is how Brad spent his day. Some people are able to put their ideals ahead of personal grievance. That's the difference between real movement people and grifters.

A clear-eyed take on why Ramos is betraying her constituents & the city (read the whole thread):

People are so conspiracy-brained that they can’t make sense of the Ramos move without assuming someone’s leaned on her or bought her off, and yeah, I’m sure she’s been offered a job in the administration, but it’s not like that’s such a plum deal she simply couldn’t say no. It’s bitterness.

Jessica Ramos once told me “the world so readily apologizes for sex pests.” And if that ain’t the fucking truth….

What I saw at immigration court this morning is unfathomably cruel. The judge dismissed several cases—including that of a dad and his 2-yr-old son. Now subject to expedited removal, he expected to be arrested by ICE outside. Luckily they made it home. We can't be a city that tears families apart.

For the record Ackman is funding Andrew Cuomo. That’s reason enough NOT to rank Cuomo in the primary, and to keep him far from NYC.

Bill Ackman supports Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Andrew Cuomo. That's $250K he's donated to Cuomo's SuperPAC.

Wow.
