It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

“Detainees who express thoughts of suicide are frequently put in solitary confinement, where the isolation, darkness and dirty conditions tend to worsen their mental states…”

This isn’t “detention” — it’s state-sanctioned torture.

What ICE did to this family is abhorrent.

Also, given that the mayor plans to keep the current police commissioner once he is sworn in, she should probably instruct NYPD to stop being so friendly with ICE every time they're seen together.

They tried aiding them in Bensonhurst last night too...
Ron Kuby, a civil rights attorney working with the family, said a more proactive mayoral administration could require NYPD officers write down names and badge numbers of the federal officers if and when they come across situations like the one in Elmhurst. That way if anything goes awry at least there’s a record of who was there. Last week police were also called to the scene of an arrest by ICE in Washington Heights and were injured in the commotion, Gothamist reported. “It’s well within the NYPD’s mandate,” Kuby said. “That would be a good first step, rather than exchanging bro hugs.”

What Trump is spending our tax dollars on while cutting our healthcare:

💰$500M payout to himself
💰$50M to Mike Flynn
💰$4M to 8 GOP Senators
💰billionaire tax cuts
💰$1B to upgrade the plane he got as a bribe

Robbing us to enrich himself and friends

It looks like there really was a “Halloween sticker motivation” jump in polling compared to previous days! (I know among the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social canvass leads, *a bunch* of us [including me] voted today for this.) 🤞 this is all in our favor.
Side-by-side comparison of the cumulative numbers from the Board of Elections at https://vote.nyc/page/early-voting-check-ins of the Day 6 (yesterday) and Day 7 / Halloween (today) check-ins, with my own math added in brackets showing over 15K in Queens, over 25K in Manhattan, and over 30K in Brooklyn voting today, with 5,175 more in the Bronx and 4,630 in Staten Island. So, a jump of 81,861 voters from yesterday to today. (I did a tiny bit of informal impromptu poll site visibility this morning after voting in Astoria, Zohran’s home turf, and people were excited about the Halloween sticker and to vote for Zohran!)

the base salary for members of the house is $174k, which they are still getting during the shutdown. the speaker gets $223k. these are the same people trying to shame others for eating without working.

Speaker Johnson officially announces another week off for the House. That means 20 work days in 18 weeks since July 4. The House is currently scheduled to be out the week of Nov. 10. It's not clear if that will change.
