Brad Lander, Unfiltered and Unplugged He didn't win the Democratic mayoral primary… but he won a lot of New Yorkers' hearts.

"They lit $20 million on fire, and all it did was boost Zohran's numbers. And in no small part because they corrupted their own souls by supporting a person they know to be a corrupt, abusive asshole. What are they gonna do now?"

@bradlander.bsky.social, the man you are.

“If this was 1944, 1945, when we discovered the horrors of Auschwitz, would we be contacting Heinrich Himmler for his take on the genocide?”

Irish Actor from Game of Thrones @liamcunningham1.bsky.social on the Gaza Flotilla and BBC News and its excuse for impartiality in covering Gaza

My God, what are we doing????

It’s odd to me that “we need to restore Christian values to Europe” is not coded as anti-Semitic even though it is, quite literally, anti-semitism’s original form.

Scoop: Stephen Miller, Noem tell ICE to supercharge immigrant arrests Trump's top immigration officials are full-steam ahead in pushing for mass deportations.

Stephen Miller is pushing DHS to arrest 3,000 people a day. ICE is ramping up racial profiling + raids, but mass arrests need compliance & funding. Communities can resist. Know your rights. Organize. Shut detention centers down.

The aid is a farce, as is the title of this article. Thanks for pulling out this quote

“The Encampments” and the American College Student In a new documentary about the pro-Palestine demonstrations on Columbia’s campus, students are in an existential battle of both exploiting and shedding their protagonist status.

If the Democratic Party or universities had just listened to these students, we would all have escaped the Trumpist nightmare factory.

Instead, here we are. The establishment sided with the people shouting “I hope they rape you” and so we got the rapist-in-chief.

Truly depraved to ask her this rather than simply one line point out how insane the allegation is.

WOW: Absolute RESPECT to Cecilia Culver for delivering a courageous, and kickass, commencement speech that calls out her university's complicity with genocide

Cuomo gave immunity to nursing home executives after big campaign donations Critics say data proves New York’s liability shield is linked to higher nursing home death rates during the pandemic

If New York voters actually reward this guy for all this corruption and death, it would be the biggest self-own in the history of that city. Full stop.

Has it ever been more obvious that the Nakba never ended?

A statement from the Independent Alliance on Nakba Day.

Ferreira de Oliveira, who is 40 years old, was still at their nearby home when she received a phone call from one of her daughters, who said ICE had pulled them over and were threatening to arrest Clara. Ferreira de Oliveira’s frightened daughter told her mother that she needed to leave the home now and come meet them on the street, because ICE was telling them that if they arrested Clara, they weren’t allowed to leave the baby in the hands of a minor. So, the feds insisted, grandma needed to rush over to take custody of the baby. Shortly after Ferreira de Oliveira arrived on the scene, ICE took her into custody. The agents suddenly no longer seemed interested in the 21-year-old daughter. ICE did not arrest her or her 17-year-old sibling.

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE.

Wisconsin Judge Indicted on Charges That She Helped Immigrant Evade Agents

Sadly, this is not new! CBP for many decades routinely confiscated any medication migrants had on them and toss it in the trash. It was a part of our lawsuit against the Tucson Sector BP in 2015.

A true scandal. One of the biggest free speech violations of our lifetimes and yet the people who screamed about free speech on campus for the past decade were either responsible for the violation (Trump, GOP) or ran cover for it and enabled it (Bari Weiss, Fox, etc).

"I never thought unitary executive theory would be used against me" chuckles Chief Justice Roberts, as he is led away in handcuffs.

Every morning I read the news and something else reminds me of Robert Musil saying in 1930s Germany that one of the defining aspects of fascism was the mockery of compassion

I'm being genuine here: people need to stop blaming communities for not turning out for candidates whose policies are actively harming them, their families, or extended communities. Harris's failure is squarely on her and Biden, and they deserve the blame for choosing genocide over electability

Because it's still a game to them, corporate media, and establishment dems

She refused to distance herself from genocide.

Here is a bit more about the author of the law that Rubio is saying that he is using to combat antisemitism. It removes the need for the Sec of State to provide any sort of justification for deporting people he sees at odds with the foreign interests of the US.

We can't ignore how devastating their support for genocide was to their own campaign. Misogyny and racism played their part, sure, but her campaign and the Biden administration's blatant disregard for a number of communities sealed their fate. They should forever be shamed for that.

I.R.S. Agrees to Share Migrants’ Tax Information with ICE The agreement is a major departure from the Internal Revenue Service’s efforts to gain the trust of migrants and encourage them to file their taxes.

Hard to overstate how lawless and also just fundamentally *untrustworthy* this country is, any promise we ever made anyone about anything turns out to have been fake www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

Billionaire Pritzker Boosts Billionaire Bezos Illinois’ Dem governor blocks safety legislation after Senate report sounds the alarm about Amazon’s warehouse working conditions.

NEWS: As Amazon warehouse workers are injured at above average rates, billionaire Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker just vetoed Democratic legislation to protect those workers from quotas requiring them to work even faster.

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back.

They think it’s funny.
