Did Mayor Mamdani forget that NYU Langone Medical Center is in New York City because that's the only way his skeet makes sense

“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

My brother in christ you are the Mayor of New York City DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

moreover, shortform video must be destroyed

not a novel observation but worth repeating every time - there are basically half a dozen things a day, every day, that would have been the biggest scandal of every administration for the first 30 years of my life.

Minnesotans filming ICE:

i’m just trying to talk to enough press that Mackenzie Scott rolls into some MN rent funds with the checkbook, you know?

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

the us has a bunch of pristine mountains to ski and snowboard on, and a bunch of cold as fuck regions to play hockey and learn to figure skate in (not to mention professional rinks), or do x-country skiing.

it is objectively fucked that our kids are priced out of winter sports.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Members-only Philly cop bar has been linked to two DUIs — and a third crash kept secret, until now Anna Wakeman still questions why 7C Lounge bartenders didn’t stop serving the officer who crashed into her house and upended her life five years ago.

"The cops can drink as much as they want there...The bartenders serve them till they're blackout drunk and let them leave." Quote from a woman who was hit by a drunk-driving cop *while sitting in her living room.* This story from the @inquirer.com is a hell of a thing. share.inquirer.com/yynTQX

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Illness Is rampant among children trapped in ICE’s massive jail in Texas The number of people held at the notorious Dilley immigration jail has nearly tripled since October.

THIS 👇is pure EVIL.

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

You're about to get everything (correct or incorrect) that they've told you about China, with none of the high-speed rail, bountiful housing, or medical miracles at working class prices.

Hey, everyone. North Minneapolis schools need your help. They've each raised tens of thousands for their families in January, and have to do it all over again now. This one school still needs thirty thousand dollars to keep families housed and fed. Can you help?

Seen this very good post RT'd a few times now, and worth noting that one of the main group behind this is Haven Watch, and you can support them here: havenwatch.org

An abduction happened in edina this morning.

I am SCREAMING THIS SHIT ISN'T OVER

Honestly this is starting to hit a nerve with me as well because while I'm not on here nearly as often as usual, I'm active in various communities & nothing is normal here.

I can say for myself personally I am on my last string of sanity. Many others are in the same boat or even past this point.

I'm also side-eyeing large creators (not here, other platforms) that were very much MIIINNNEEAAAPOLIS and now have just gone back to regular programming

So I'm an abolitionist & think we should work for a world without jails. When we point out elite impunity, the question is why ARE there jails if you don't have to go to them if you're rich & powerful, & they're just filled with people without resources.

A brutal attack you say? Beaten up in the tweets you say? Oh gosh how awful

ICE abductions down overall in the Twin Cities (good!) but people are still being forcefully deported on planes. Activity is down in Minneapolis and Saint Paul but has shifted toward the suburbs. They’re getting sneakier. Swapping vehicles and plates and increased drone usage.
