Lest it be said I only share bad news, here’s something good. An immigration judge in NYC has reopened the case of a 20-year-old Bronx high school student, a Venezuelan migrant that ICE detained and planned to subject to expedited removal. Her decision halts that. www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/16/n...

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization. I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech. “This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

This is very good but a reminder that to have power we need civic organizations that can hold these people and more (3.5% is ~ 11.5m) together in communities of support/education/comity/action between big protests.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Even though Trump is a clown and buffoon, he is still President of the United States and commander in chief of the largest military on the planet, which includes a vast nuclear arsenal. For him to say this is utterly unconscionable. If he plans to act on it, well.

What I learned today is that the @nytopinion.nytimes.com doesn’t believe in young people of color in leadership. Time and time again people tout “seniority” and “experience”. 75 years ago, there were no women of color elected in NY. Where is “seniority” or “experience” to come from for us?

Mass protests in 2020 hurt Trump. The reactionary effort to paint the left as violent didn't effect the election but has become ingrained in the right-wing bubble (as seen with the MN killings). One way to permeate that bubble? Local protests. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

A reminder that if your career is something the fascists want to cut, eradicate, restrict, or otherwise erase, you are doing resistance work every day you do your job. (And to those who have already been cut, you are still doing the work by being keepers of that knowledge and know-how.)
