Today, December 7, 1pm-2pm
Families are being traumatized with impossible choices: separation or deportation. This is happening all over our city–and our country–with little attention.
Join us to stand up in opposition to this cruelty. Terrorizing our communities must stop.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

“This Is a Union Town”: Zohran Mamdani & Bernie Sanders Join Striking Starbucks Workers’ Picket New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders joined striking Starbucks workers on the picket line Monday to demand the coffee giant reach a fair contract with its...

Bernie Sanders tells Democracy Now! that Zohran Mamdani’s successful campaign for mayor was a historic blueprint for the Democratic Party.

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.

It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

A real pleasure to sit down for an extended conversation on The View today. My thanks to the studio audience for the very warm welcome.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

She is mine!

DHS detains grad student who advocated for Palestine and the "humanity of all people" Rumeysa Ozturk, a student at Tufts University, drew the attention of a pro-Israel group for co-auhtoring an op-ed

www.salon.com/2025/03/26/d...

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Utterly wild the turnout for these “Against Oligarchy” rallies!

Amazing! I didn't know about this extra story. And the website sounds exciting as well.

"My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law. Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn’t the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away. It isn’t the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing."

You know people are furious when they show up at an 8am protest at @schumer.senate.gov house.

Chuck you are betraying us. It’s not too late to change your mind and actually fight back!

I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”
