Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

We’ll say it again: Criminalizing masks does not make New Yorkers safer. In reality, it puts our health at risk, opens the floodgates for racist enforcement, threatens to exile some people with disabilities from society, and undermines protections for protestors.

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing. Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases. No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

"We love America so that's why we're here" The most American thing you can do is show up at a protest to express your opinion. Musk today threatened to have people arrested if they say bad things about Tesla. Strength in numbers will show how feeble these people are. #TeslaTakedown this wknd

Activism is about listening and experimentation. You have to try things, see if they work, and then double down on the stuff that's working. You learn by doing it. There is no "one cool trick to overthrow fascism and bring about utopia." Don't believe anyone who claims to have all the answers.

All of these students being kidnapped for speaking out against atrocities & war crimes. You do realize this is setting it up for you, right? When you protest against big oil for poisoning our water. When you create a line of people to stop a bulldozer from cutting down our forests. You’re next.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why. What would you call that?

Just so we're clear, I can't wear a mask to protect my family from dying of disease but ICE gets to wear them when they black bag students off the streets? Got it.

I tell you what, it was pretty simple and easy to explain the existence of trans people to my kid (at age 5) and it is going to be WAY harder to explain to him why masked and hooded people grabbed a Tufts student off the street in a neighborhood he's in often

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration. Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration. This is who Trump governs for.

The Signal leak is a prime moment for Democrats to get caught trying. Call for resignations or impeachment hearings or both. Be omnipresent in the media demanding and explaining accountability measures. Don’t let this fade away. Treat this the way the GOP treated Hillary’s emails. Make it a thing.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is. So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

Reminder, sunglasses hide your identity more than masks. As research in Scientific Reports shows, "Face masks are less effective than sunglasses in masking face identity." Will policymakers also ban sunglasses? hats? #NoNYMaskBan CC @govkathyhochul.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
