As a former decade-long New Yorker, I've appreciated your mayorship so far, but you need to talk to your DSA comrades about their relentless & thoroughly disgusting defense of reactionary dictatorships in Cuba, Venezuela and elsewhere (& yes, I'm aware of your own comments on this).

Let’s keep this momentum going! Andreaformaine.com

The only president to keep the Patriots out of the Super Bowl this century? Joe Biden

The Bloody Massacre by Paul Revere, 1770.

There’s been multiple Super Bowl ads for Jesus with the slogan “He gets us.”

Are there really no PACs or foundations or concerned rich people to buy Super Bowl ads broadcasting footage of ICE brutality to the country?

Two 30-second spots, plus widespread promotion on socials, would run ~$20m.

Protestors have gone inside the Hilton hotel ICE is staying at in downtown Minneapolis

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

In this thread, I will be summarizing what I think is going on in #Iran and why this movement is different from others.

For decades, the Iranian government, the Islamic Republic, a religious autocracy, has tried to force a very strict, fundamentalist version of Islam on its people.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Chomsky, Epstein, and the responsibility of intellectuals Burning down houses and raping their female inhabitants is the kind of imperialist standard operating procedure that Chomsky spent his life condemning in East Timor, in Iraq, in El Salvador. But when ...

"Chomsky can no longer offer apologies or consolation to the survivors. But that does not relieve us of the responsibility to do so, part of which is acknowledging that someone who had such a huge impact on so many of us made such profoundly disturbing moral choices."

It was either vote for Kamala Harris and Democrats or vote for this.

No, Chomsky The revelations about the linguist’s relationship with the predator Jeffrey Epstein are a fitting epitaph to a disgraceful career.

I've seen a lot of man's inhumanity to man in my work as a journalist over the years, but few stories I've worked on have given me the sense of moral & physical revulsion as this one about Noam Chomsky's relationship with the sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. michaeldeibert.substack.com/p/no-chomsky

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

With a gift link because I think it is very important for people to understand this:

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

By the way, documents pertaining to war crimes committed by the Assad regime were in that building.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Still not over the fact that Brad Lander is the serving NYC Comptroller, rather a demanding position, AND a mayoral candidate, also a demanding FT job—& he found time to go to the courts to tell folks their rights & walk them past danger & the only reason we know is because ICE assaulted him.

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.
