New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Gross as hell. We are currently paying for ICE bounty hunters to do this to Americans

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

When you leave in a car you’re thinking “what’s the fastest way to get there?”
When I leave on my bike I’m thinking “what’s the safest way to get there?”

Platkin: They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could eat. They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could afford their health care. But they sure as hell made sure they could make hundreds of thousands of dollars on our backs based on some bogus theory of how they were harmed.

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.
But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.
