New post up today from a guest poster in Chicago: "A reporter from Texas asked me if I was afraid for my safety because I am outspoken. I told her I was afraid of what would happen if people were not speaking up."

NYPD Arrest More Than a Dozen Protesting Homeland Security Agents in Tense Confrontation Dozens of masked federal agents were staging inside a parking lot when a spontaneous group of protesters got word of their presence. The NYPD helped clear a path for the federal agents to leave the…

NYPD agents arrested more than a dozen people and unleashed clouds of pepper spray on a spontaneous protest formed around a SoHo parking garage where masked agents had gathered inside.

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused.

This person who gets maced and just calmly flips the bird & keeps going is *quintessential.*

Priceless. Thank you @gwynnefitz.bsky.social !

The FBI spied on a Signal group chat of immigration activists, records reveal Exclusive: Agency accessed private conversations of New York ‘courtwatch’ group that was observing public hearings

“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

Continuing criminal activity by ICE

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.

The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

“On Saturday, community groups passed out another 10,000 whistles as part of a day of action put on by Hands Off NYC, a coalition that includes dozens of unions, community groups, churches and political groups, hosting a day of action and events across the city.”

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Follow, EIC, Eyes on Immigration Court!

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Chuck Schumer, if you can’t wake up, just stay asleep!

correct.

This is a perfect (brilliant as well as funny) analysis of the “both sides” policy of the #NewYorkTimes

Image of voters in a crowd at a political rally. Text below the image reads: "Democrats’ most loyal backers Tuesday night? Gen Z women Sky-high support for Democrats across the country this past election showed women 29 and under to be Democrats’ strongest supporters."

Young women voters under the age of 29 logged soaring support for Democrats in races across the country, cementing them as the most Democratic voting group in the country by age and gender. https://bit.ly/3LAHNcN
