Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Chatbots and deepfakes are eroding our shared reality With Trump et al using AI slop for political gain, fact-checking and civic journalism are more vital than ever

Dissecting the Trump Administration’s Effort to Circumvent the War Powers Resolution for Boat Strikes Analysis of Trump administration's claim that War Powers Resolution's regulating US troops in "hostilities" does not apply to boat strikes.

Today, Trump-Hegseth run out of time on War Powers Resolution and boat strikes.

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record. “If I didn’t find the evidence for them, I wasn’t too sure they would find it.”

Her adoptive dad had sexually assaulted her for years. But when Taylor Cadle told police, she was treated like a “monster.” She was charged with lying to the police and had to write an apology letter to her abuser.

Justice finally came when Taylor took her phone and hit record.

Whatever happened to the Antifa founder’s girlfriend 🤔

God knows how many times this has happened: Zero.

Much like Vance lying about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, this is 100% racist bullshit being spewed by an unabashed white nationalist.
