Tried to explain the "it's not champagne if it's not from the Champagne region" joke to a French person selling me wine in France but we just ended up discussing how important terroir is

What ICE Agents Talk About When They Think Nobody Is Listening Cat videos, “The Good Place,” and free Slurpies: these are the topics of conversation among federal agents between arrests in immigration court.

We've been reporting from NYC's immigration courts, observing the workplace banter & water cooler talk from federal agents as they spend days arresting New Yorkers post-hearings. Click the link to learn what life's really like inside 26 Federal Plaza & 290 Broadway.

our colleague is still missing as of the last info I got

Can you give more details? Historically in NYC or other US cities?

I am shocked to see I posed a question on a complicated issue in good faith and got very dissatisfying answers from randos who were not OP. Shocked, I say

Can you explain more? I just came across this in my feed but I am missing context on the history of transit fares. Is it unrealistic to hope for free buses without unseen consequences?

Woohoo!!

Well I finally cancelled my nyt sub to use that tiny bit of power (money) to say the article sucked. NYC cannot afford the betrayal of "liberals" attacking Mamdani.

Pretty incredible interview with NY Liberty's Natasha Cloud telling Trump to fuck around and find out about attacking Zohran.

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

Since Mamdani won last night, NYC has FALLEN according to my friends there. It is utter chaos. They couldn't get in to their top 3 brunch places+their 4th choice only had spots at *noon* Sunday. The corner bagel place was out of everything. Bus was 5 minutes late and the bodega cat hissed at them.

This AM, I was at immigration court with @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, @bradlander.bsky.social, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social, and @votejgr.bsky.social.

Masked ICE agents are still pulling our neighbors away from their families.

What's happening is a moral failure. We can't treat it like business as usual.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

BREAKING | Comptroller Brad Lander arrested at ICE court hearing

This photo.

ICE is a gang.

Seeing Brad Lander, NYC's comptroller and a mayoral candidate (also my former neighbor and city councilman) violently arrested by trump's immigration gestapo is making me sick to my stomach.

how this point interacts with the norms of commentary on protests: if it's true that *any* destruction and disruption will attract a disproportionate amount of attention, then fingerwaggers labeling protests and protestors basedon these scenes are in effect demanding blanket, total discipline

US immigration officers ordered to arrest more people even without warrants Exclusive: Ice officers told to get ‘creative’ with arrests, including of undocumented people encountered by chance

Guardian story by Jose Olivares:

“Senator Padilla is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations in Los Angeles and across California. He was in the federal building to receive a briefing with General Guillot and was listening to Secretary Noem’s press conference. He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed. He is not currently detained, and we are working to get additional information.”

Statement from Sen. Alex Padilla's office:

Sitting US Senator Alex Padilla forcibly wrestled to the ground and arrested by the FBI for attempting to ask a question of DHS secretary Kristin Noem.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

we’ve reached the point where even a photo of Ms Rachel makes the baby go apeshit. when Ms Rachel finally says the activation phrase that awakens the child army she has been training we will be so fucked
