1. ICE and CBP leave Minneapolis and stops terrorizing American cities;

2. We get a full, independent investigation into the killings;

3. No more detaining and deporting U.S. Citizens;

4. The masks come off;

5. The mass arrest quotas and warrantless arrests end.

this is so cool -- tracking the plowing of all the city's streets and how quickly everything keeps getting cleared

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Reminder: after Charles Exum shot Marimar Martinez in October, DHS tried to claim it was because she was armed.

The gun never left her purse and she had a concealed carry license for it.
This is apparently on X. I have a few concerns: 1) why is DHS sending photos of (alleged) evidence that should be in a secure chain of custody that is now lying on a car seat??? and 2) being armed does not on its own justify the use of deadly force — there has to be evidence he was trying to use it

AFL–CIO President: We’re taking this bus across the country to highlight what’s happening with these cuts we just saw in the worst job-killing bill in history. This bus is going to show up everywhere. We’ll be outside VA hospitals and grocery stores, showing how these SNAP cuts will impact families.

The winds are shifting. A bus is coming. The bus is fast and free. Dems have to get on board or get run over.

Mamdani had a good chance. So the New York Times and Bloomberg went into overdrive to slander him. 14 mailers from the DoorDash Bloomberg, Bill Ackman, superpac and none from the Cuomo campaign. Thanks NYT

I know a lot of people just don't really know much about foreign cities, but please imagine how it would go if someone told all of NYC to evacuate "immediately," and then add two million more people to that scenario

Adrienne Adams, the reluctant candidate, is hoping to peak at the right time. Is there still time?

As speaker of the City Council, delegation rather than personal ambition has been her style.

Billionaires are consolidating around Cuomo because they know he will preserve the broken status quo.

New Yorkers are rallying behind our campaign because they're ready for change.

In two weeks, we will shock the political establishment and win a city we can all afford.
