Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Ireland getting a larger navy would dash my hopes to move there and be a monk in a tower, transcribing Seamus Heaney during the Second Dark Ages.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

It is unsettling. What’s her name?

Viola Fletcher, Oldest Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Dies at 111

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

This is also true of millions of Americans who are not New Yorkers. We’ve all been aware for a long time that the system is broken.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Folding bike? I KNEW I like you!

Trump sides with murderer MBS and ignores the sex trafficked women and unanimous votes to release.

The Trump reign is over.
This is the #NoKings Era now! Stop protecting predators. !

Yes. Yes we should.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Somewhere, four feminist noise-punk artists just named their band Quiet Piggy.

Anonymous American Gestapo ICE agents chase a local flower shop owner into the woods to abduct them.

Neighborhood bystanders follow them into the forest and film them, harass them, and shame them until they leave.

Heh.

When the NYT's knack for agent-free passive voice rivals the CBP monster who texted "I fired seven rounds and she had five holes."

WE HAVE ACHIEVED PERMANENT AMBIENT "THESE MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE GOT TO GO." And of course I mean the pedophilic corporate/political elite, but by now it's everything: insurance companies, podcasters, and people who put the toilet paper roll on backward.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

The Department of War's seal hangs on a wall. The kerning appears to be off.

we need a department of kerning

a “Space Force”, if you will

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Jenna Nicholls and I are gonna be in Manhattan at @cafewha.bsky.social on Sunday evening at 6, to add our tiny voices to the long weekend of celebrating the election of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social BECAUSE FUQ YEAH and also if you're disappointed about it, I'll buy you a drink because socialism.
