Dozens of federal agents swarmed into downtown Manhattan near Chinatown on Tuesday afternoon, stepping out of unmarked vehicles and detaining several New Yorkers in a hectic raid that targeted people who fit the profile of a counterfeit goods vendor.

During the raid, small crowds formed near agents, with protesters calling them "fucking fascists" and "scum."

For @talkingpointsmemo.com on building @hellgatenyc.com:
Is the cure to local news starting really small, building up subscribers day after day, & breaking stories, until one day everyone has health care, good salaries, and no threat of being laid off??? MAYBE!

Not even taking the teams into consideration, kind of wild that we built two stadiums that cost roughly the same during the same year and one is good and one is bad

This is such a strong piece by Liv Veazey for @hellgatenyc.com offering the banality of ICE agents as they huddle and lounge around Lower Manhattan, engaging in the most barbaric of activities, kidnapping and holding people in a gulag and then talking about slurpees.

An incredible assembly of:

—New York's most cartoonish billionaire
—New York's second-most corrupt former governor
—The reddest man in New York City

All trying, in public, to come up with a plan to thwart the overwhelming will of NYC voters.

Hell yeah! Delicious!

Having failed spectacularly at stopping Mamdani, the Times is now unveiling its tried-and-true strategy to drum up controversy—and question the legitimacy of a person's humanity—by doing the dirtiest of work for the worst-faith actors.

Had a great time chatting with NYRB about Mamdani's win, the hurdles he still has to clear, Adams’s decisive unpopularity, Cuomo’s prickly campaign, and the characters who are NYC’s lifeblood.

AND why @hellgatenyc.com is making our mark in local media.

If Zohran Mamdani is mayor, he will have to navigate the contradictions inherent in leading the richest city in the world as a democratic socialist. We spoke to @emilyfmayer.bsky.social, @maxrn.bsky.social and Batul Hassan about the opportunities and risks created by his win.
