Did ICE call in a fake emergency to the FDNY to give cover to a van leaving full of immigrants? They've done it before and looks like they've done it again. @hellgatenyc.com with the scoop. hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...

I talked to @greenwell.bsky.social about our shared experiences with private equity, the industry's nightmarish and ongoing all-you-can-eat spree through American life, and her great new book on how people are living with and pushing back against it. defector.com/megan-greenw...

The mainstream/centrist punditocracy seems to exist in an alternate universe around discussing protests where 1) BLM happened while Joe Biden was President and 2) it resulted in an electoral wipeout for Dems

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Joe Davis just asked Orel Hershiser if he believes in the theory that all possible outcomes are happening somewhere in the universe and then began explaining it to him. Then Bogaerts beat out an infield hit and Hershiser said “on another planet he’s out.” They sound so stoned.

This is what every great catch makes you say but I really feel like this is maybe the best catch of this kind that I've ever seen.

Saggy old dunce in charge of everything frantically re-upping on troops over and over until the TV stops showing him stuff that makes him upset. What a way to DECLINE.

It's incredible how consistently Trump treates everyone around him like complete shit even when it would be in his direct interest to do otherwise.

Everyone contributes to the movement in the ways they see fit. Some get teargassed and shot with rubber bullets by rampaging cops, others offer notes online re: how the people getting gassed/shot might seem less deserving of getting gassed/shot to the general public. It's a coalition.

Every time the people stand up and say “what you are doing is unjust you have to stop” the police respond by beating the shit out of people
