Rage Against The Regime in Orlando ✊

Today’s moment of hope/beauty/inspiration.

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.

Friends in Westchester, please make every effort to attend this vigil.

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

Senator Shelley B. Mayer Co-Sponsors "MELT" - Legislation to Prohibit ICE Agents from Wearing Masks For Immediate Release July 23, 2025 (White Plains, NY) - State Senator Shelley B. Mayer announced she has co-sponsored proposed legislation in the New York State Senate to prohibit law enforcement officers, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents, from wearing masks or personal disguise while on duty or engaged in enforcement activities. Communities across New York, including Westchester, have recently seen loved ones, friends, and neighbors disappeared and harassed by ICE agents - often in undistinguished clothing, without identification, and with their faces masked. Since the beginning of the year, first-hand videos posted to social media show individuals and elected officials detained by ICE agents with their faces covered, and many often not identified as law enforcement officials. The Mandating End of Lawless Tactics (MELT) legislation, (S.8462/A.8908), recently introduced by State Senator Patricia Fahy and Assembly Member Tony Simone, will protect New Yorkers from impersonation or intimidation by federal agents, will increase transparency in law enforcement, and ensure ICE's actions are not conducted with anonymity in New York. Senator Mayer joins her colleagues in fighting for ICE to be held accountable to the people. Office of State Senator Shelley B. Mayer

State Senator Shelley B. Mayer said, "It is absolutely unacceptable for ICE agents to conduct arrests in our communities while wearing masks that conceal their identities and without clearly visible identification. These practices undermine public trust, jeopardize public safety, and threaten the civil liberties that are fundamental to our democracy. In New York, we believe in transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. Our excellent police departments throughout New York State openly show their identification and are recognizable to the public. The conduct that is being promoted by ICE - using masked agents without clear ID - runs directly counter to the best practices of policing and public safety. "As a State Senator representing diverse communities in Westchester, the granddaughter of immigrants, and someone who believes deeply in due process and the principles our nation was founded on, I stand firmly with our immigrant neighbors who are being unjustly seized and detained. I share in the anger, fear, and frustration felt by families who are targeted by the current practices of this Administration, which far exceed anything that was anticipated. Those who have been convicted of major criminal wrongdoing are rightly subject to deportation. What is not acceptable is the seizure and detention of thousands of people who are not violent criminals, or criminals at all, but simply those seeking a better life here in America. I stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and remain committed to doing everything I can to protect them. "I thank Senator Fahy and Assembly Member Tony Simone for their leadership in introducing this critical legislation, and I am proud to join my colleagues in co-sponsoring it. Now we need to vote on it!" Office of State Senator Shelley B. Mayer

Thank you for your leadership on this important bill.

Friends in NY, please promote and amplify State Senator Shelley Mayer's MELT (No Masks) bill.

With inadequate ventilation and medical facilities, call it a prison or a concentration camp. “Detention Center” misrepresents its cruelty.

TODAY: We’re rallying at CBS’ studios in NYC. CBS must reverse its politically-charged cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show. Institutions like CBS obey in advance because they benefit from doing so. Our job as organizers in a time of authoritarian breakthrough is to create countervailing pressure.
