The masked agents pull up quickly. They jump out of unmarked vans. They wear blue jeans or battle fatigues. They approach Latinos, yelling and carrying assault rifles. If someone runs, they’re taken. If they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. If they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.

Harassing journalists might rank pretty low on the list of awful things masked ICE goons are doing these days. But without journalists we wouldn’t know about the rest of them, and the administration is well aware of that.

Folks saying we're cooked and there won't be elections/democracy is over: what do you think the folks sitting in ICE detention think of your doomerism? Do we give up fighting for human rights just bc the fascists don't give up as easily as you want to? It's hard work and worthy work. Dont quit.

This is an example of leadership. I don’t agree with her on a bit but this is straight truth. All power comes from the people and returns to the people.

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings. This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

Hey. Two-thirds of people DON'T KNOW what's in Trump's budget bill, even though it will affect all of us. Polls show when people know what's in it, they don't want Trump's Big Ugly Bill. So let's make sure more people know what's in it 🧵

I cannot stress enough that Mamdani’s plan is not to freeze all rents but to appoint a Rent Guidelines Board that he can direct to freeze rents on rent stabilized units, as De Blasio did several times.

In the past month, I've used the transit systems of Boston, New York and Toronto. The experience has made me upset and angry almost to the point of tears because Philadelphia deserves so much better than it has. But we are suffering under the boot of evil hicks and indifferent ghouls in Harrisburg.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.
