Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division.

That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people โ€” a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, ๏ผ† unafraid in the face of ICEโ€™s tear gas ๏ผ† violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful ๏ผ† fierce solidarity.

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

Resisting ICE ICE is detaining thousands of people a day without criminal records and without a warrant. But people are standing up. And the resistance is growing. This is episode 73 of Stories of Resistance.

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Although this has been shot down by Congress folk previously, I still believe that all Congressional people do not get paid during a shutdown, so that there is at least some motivation to not play chicken with people's livelihoods.

Shouldn't they hurt more? ($$$) ๐Ÿ˜ก

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Yeah if you ever wanted to see what 'substantially true' means in the First Amendment context, this is it.
