I have been going through a tough time recently and it is showing me the importance of writing and thinking freely. I will be a writer whose words make people think. Whose words move others to action. I am a writer.

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

The liberal insistence that Trump et al are just “stupid” and not deliberate in their choice of words and policies is absolutely infuriating. If they’re just “stupid” and you can’t beat them, then what are you? They’re intentional. They’re brutal. They’re organized. And they’re genuinely dangerous.

And there it is. All bluff. And “stocks surged.”
Stocks surged around the world after U.S. and Chinese officials said they agreed to temporarily suspend most of the tariffs they have imposed on each other.

So @asanews.bsky.social censored *the* Ruth Milkman’s obituary to her friend, to remove mention of attempts to sabotage his tenure by colleagues due to his politics & advocacy for students. They also censored mention of attacks on him by Zionists.

If you live in NYC, we have to get our Councilmembers to support this bill. Riot police should not be the response to peaceful protest. bsky.app/profile/jool...
Hello NYers, please poke your City Council rep if they aren't signed onto the CURB Act which would prohibit NYPD SRG patrol from quashing peaceful protest with over-the-top crowd control tactics.

Hanaa is Sanaa’s sister who I’ve shared on here. Mohamed was killed last week while on the roof of their house, he was the one managing Sanaa’s account (which I had posted on here) so they lost access to that fundraiser. Please help Hanaa if you are able. The situation in Gaza is dire.

#Sudan’s Rapid Support Force (the militia formerly known as the janjaweed) have executed 31 civilians, including children, in what experts are calling the largest recorded mass killing in the capital region. Unfortunately the soldiers made a disturbing video of the event and it is circulating.
