The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

Some weasel over here MANSPLAINING MENOPAUSE.

(Bondi is 60, btw, fun fact of the day.)
Bondi is clearly going through menopause. “…mood changes and "brain fog," often begin during perimenopause (mid-40s to early 50s) - along with irrational moods and temper tantrums

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.

They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.

The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.

But 5 minutes later….

This is what we want: government that communicates respectfully to us, and is prepared in advanced to help us in a crisis.

Also, you GO, #dsny New York sanitation workers!
We're getting a snowstorm tomorrow. But New York City is prepared.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Orin is probably the preeminent fourth amendment scholar in the United States. He is also extremely professional. This is the way he says "I wish a bitch would try"
This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant.

I would like to see that argument.

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent.

More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.
Why universal child care is closer than ever in New York
One of Zohran Mamdani’s most expensive ideas has surprising early momentum.
