In NY, it's worth remembering that there are certain protections against ICE to help people make their required court appearances rather than face the frequently severe consequences of failing to appear.

Yeah, by the way, Kristi Noem posted this earlier too. It’s complete nonsense, completely made up. In 1941 there were not even 11,000 Border Patrol apprehensions the entire year.

Striking correctional officers at Lakeview Correctional Facility posting a picture of barbecuing a pig with a note that says “Happy Ramadan NYSDOCCS! With love from Lakeview CF 🐖🐷” This bigotry has no place anywhere, let alone in a law enforcement uniform.

He personally collaborated to keep Republicans in charge of the state Senate for multiple terms contrary to the expressed will of the voters, which is in itself disqualifying

Ritchie Torres endorsed an abuser and nothing of value was lost. Tough guys don’t go around harassing women, killing seniors with dangerous policies and silencing the most vulnerable. Ritchie Torres what don’t we know about you that makes you like all this?

This is a shamefully racist movement that should be resisted by every person of good will. @brian-goldstone.bsky.social’s forthcoming book is incredible and it’s honestly the archive’s loss (and the nation’s). www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

There’s only two good things about Hochul refusing to remove Adams: (1) Shows she has no intention of seriously competing in a Democratic primary next year. (2) NYC gets to throw out its own corrupt mayor and stand up to Trump at the same time. Get the Committee on Mayoral Inability moving.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

For the love of everything holy please remove Eric Adams from City Hall right now.

Removing Adams is pro-economic development, pro-public safety, pro-rule of law, pro-immigrant. Not removing Adams is dangerous to our city and our democracy.

I would suggest that. serious (and certainly academic) readers go back to the great landmark work by my late grad school friend and Bay Area colleague, James Kettner, The Development of American Citizenship, 1608-1870 (1978).

Let the next mayor do that after Adams is removed, which is an imperative for the rule of law and the safety of all New Yorkers but especially immigrant New Yorkers.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

Eric Adams is corrupt and abusing his position to gravely hurt New Yorkers and the rule of law every second he remains in office. The NYC Council should pass a resolution convening the Committee on Mayoral Inability as soon as humanly possible.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)
