Congratulations to Archbishop Ronald Hicks on today’s installment and welcome to NYC.
Archbishop Hicks and I share a deep and abiding commitment to the dignity of every human being and look forward to working together to create a more just and compassionate city where every New Yorker can thrive.
Congratulations to @uaw.org workers at Volkwagen’s Chattanooga plant on their historic tentative agreement.
This life-changing first contract shows what is possible when workers stand up to demand their fair share.
Dumas' FATHER was born to a French count and an enslaved African women in Haiti. The Père was then brought to France, was educated, served in the military, etc.
"The Black Count" is a fantastic book about him.
His son is the author Alexander Dumas, and he based Count of Monte Cristo on his Dad.🇭🇹
Counterpoint: Democrats want ICE razed more thoroughly than Carthage in 146 BC, the ideological territory in which it operates salted so thoroughly it never grows again, and every single one of these goons in front of a judge to face justice for their crimes.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)
Statement from UAW President Shawn Fain on the Killing of Alex Pretti
🚨 STATEMENT FROM UAW PRESIDENT SHAWN FAIN ON THE KILLING OF ALEX PRETTI 🚨
“The UAW stands in solidarity with the family and loved ones of our fallen union brother Alex Pretti and all those standing up for justice in Minneapolis and beyond.
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
#AlexPretti was one of us. May he rest in peace. #bicycle
They will create a world so dangerous that you feel you have no choice except to drive a car, or own a gun, or flee a country that they violently destabilized. And they will use that car, that gun, that decision to seek asylum as an excuse to shoot and kill you.
Seven House democrats that voted for ICE funding
The ICE Seven
It’s time.
I want the see Steve Kerr’s Warriors and Minneapolis’ Timberwolves agree that they simply cannot play this game tonight.
A strike in solidarity with the besieged city and its murdered and abducted residents.
Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district.
I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them.
ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.
They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.
sorry, why shouldn’t individual officers phone number be revealed if they are making a call to someone?
which technical challenges? enforcement?
we should also ban the law enforcement (thinking about the NYPD specifically) from calling with unknown numbers.
This is the way.
20 NY State Senators sponsor S8462/A8908 to ban masked law enforcement. (❤️ @patriciafahy46.bsky.social ; spread the word!)
Why has it not passed? Andrea Stewart-Cousins thinks it's ok to take 6 months off from passing legislation in our current day and age.
Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names
ICE is not law enforcement. It's an authoritarian gang. They target suburbs, school zones and quiet neighborhoods for the easy targets and avoid actual crime zones or known criminals in order to avoid putting themselves at risk.
it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs:
1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts
2. cops must be present at all times during protests
that’s why they say “all cops” and not “some cops”
British police have killed fewer people in the last 100 years than American police kill in an average month.
Policing in America is an ongoing tragedy.
what if someone organizes a tax strike? is anyone talking about that?
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
. @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social why won’t you tell Tisch to stop the war on cyclists?? You ruined your streak of not disappointing the livable streets movement
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Senators Durbin, Hassan, Kaine, King, Klobuchar, Shaheen, and Welch voted to confirm a man to a lifetime judicial appointment days after the president who nominated him invaded a foreign country without even giving notice to Congress and the day after federal agents killed a person in the U.S.
Ameen.
