incredible damage to NYC community--Bluestockings was an incredible bookstore, but also the place that would eagerly welcome local high school kids who didn't feel safe having LGBTQ support gatherings on campus, sell your insane zine and treat you like an author, host highbrow panels, devastating
This is a tremendous loss. One of the only accessible places in nyc (yes I mean that).
Absolutely gutting to learn of the closure of Bluestockings, a hub for so much of my activist life in NYC, where I had readings and book launches and just met up with my friends. A huge loss for the community and the city www.bluestockings.com

There is a checkpoint like this every single night in DC. DC police stop cars and ICE is on hand to question drivers. This is deeply not normal, but becoming a regular part of DC life.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.
Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.
There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

When you’re so busy crowing about your political motivations that you forget to pretend you did it for the Jews.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

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.

Warren on CNBC on Mamdani: "You misunderstand what his campaign was about. His campaign was saying, 'I want to invest in NYC. I want to invest in people being able to have good jobs here, put their kids in school and build housing.' And he built a grassroots campaign. He didn't have a billionaire."
