Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.
