NYC: if you can get to Federal Plaza near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall subway stops, come support Brad Lander, the latest Dem politician to be manhandled/detained by ICE for no legal reason. Zohran Mamdani is there in support of his fellow mayoral candidate. NYT's darling Cuomo nowhere in sight.

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.

Happening now: a small group of protesters are once again blocking ICE agents' vans outside immigration court in Chicago. Masked agents with handcuffs are threatening activists with arrest and intimidating photographers. Situation is tense, we'll update as we can.

It’s bleak out there, but it’s heartening to know millions of people from all walks of life took the time to ruin one specific persons birthday, America’s hater spirit remains strong

we are more polarized than ever, and the consequences of extremism are equally bad on both sides: violent deaths for the majority of the population, indentured servitude, and an unlivable planet on one hand, and the possibility that a transgender teen might do a sport on the other

Rich white men, use your platform. Don't be such fucking cowards all the fucking time, you have one life to live. How much money do you really need in a lifetime? Christ. How can you just sit there watching young women - especially young women of color - taking every risk, speaking truth to power?
