This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

What are we even doing here? I can’t find common ground with people who get off on the suffering of others. Don’t just kill the people we haven’t even proved are criminals, bring them pain. I can’t relate to this. This is inexcusable to me. I’m sickened.

Trump Administration Fires 8 Immigration Judges in New York

BREAKING NYT:

The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.

All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

BREAKING: Trump reportedly gave Venezuela's Maduro a deadline of Friday to leave Venezuela with his family, per Reuters

Trump Crypto Partner Alt5 Sigma May Have Violated SEC Rules After Another Filing Discrepancy Alt5 Sigma told regulators its accountant resigned in November, while he says he notified the company three months earlier.

Scoop: They tried to bury this news on Black Friday, but, well...

Trump crypto partner Alt5 Sigma told the SEC its auditor quit in Nov.

We called the auditor.

He resigned in August.

That's the second SEC filing with an apparent conflict that Alt5 Sigma has made in recent weeks.

Donald, on his way—again—to the golf course to bring down prices at the grocery store for us. What a selfless hero.

Thou Shalt Not Murder Fishermen While Pardoning Drug Lords This is evil.

Thou shalt not pretend that you’re at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Sign the Petition Demand the United States Recognize Palestinian Statehood

BREAKING: Pope Leo announces that the Catholic Church supports Palestinian statehood. He went on to call out Netanyahu for refusing to recognize Palestinian statehood.

I launched this global petition calling on the USA to recognize Palestinian statehood. Please do sign & share: c.org/zqgdSZKDVn

Yep

So once they call a judge radical that makes their order invalid? Trying to follow 🫠

This is why banks were invented, fyi.

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

This is the Republican majority in Congress. Completely disinterested in looking into anything Trump is doing. Whatever he decides to do is fine with them and they won’t investigate or question anything. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear g...

When an ICE agent fired the tear gas canister, it hit 55-year-old nurse Vincent Hawkins in the face, shattering his glasses and concussing him.

As he was rushed to the emergency room, he wondered if he'd ever see through his left eye again.

I think Trump really believes the presidency imbues him with a super power to deem the innocent as guilty and the guilty as "treated very unfairly."

Someone tell him if he backs down from this threat he can count it as another war he ended

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

Pete Hesgeth is a gangster and a war criminal. #Impeach the whole damn Trump cabinet, they all are.

This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure.

To call this despicable is an understatement.

ICE garage blockaded in lower Manhattan with dozens of agents stuck inside as more and more New Yorkers gather.

NYPD observed staging on Canal & Broadway, expected come over for crowd control.

To recap—Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of receiving millions in bribes & partnering with cocaine traffickers to flood American streets with drugs, but to protect American streets from being flooded with drugs, he has to mass murder innocent fisherman with impunity.

Got it

The headline is not just that Pete Hegseth issued a plainly unlawful order to intentionally slaughter survivors after an initial strike. It is also that senior military officers improperly carried out those orders.

Bumping to not lose sight of the #climatecrisis

Black Friday demo @ Apple Store in NYC:

Earlier today, activists unfurled banners and called on Apple customers to skip buying new tech this year, noting the gear they’re ogling is made from minerals mined with child & slave labor. They also pointed out Apple’s subservience/contributions to Trump.

Words have consequences, even if you are President of the United States.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

Stephen Miller said the building was “filled with TdA terrorists.”

DOJ prosecutors have not filed criminal charges or shown evidence that anyone arrested in the raid belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang.

National Guard member killed in D.C. shooting remembered for 'heart of gold' The slain soldier’s former boyfriend recalled her empathy and generosity. “She doesn’t even have to know you and she’ll do anything for you,” he said.

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

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.”
