First-time protesters flood streets nationwide.

Not activists—ordinary people who've seen ICE murder their neighbors.

This movement doesn't ask permission. It demands: STOP FUNDING OUR KILLERS.

A lot of folks seem to not understand how federal elections work. They are run by states and localities, and federal elections are on the same ballots as state elections.

Think through how hard it would be to “steal” an entire set of midterms.

Had a great time with the incomparable @joyannreid.bsky.social tonight!

We talked Christian nationalism, white Jesus, and why hope is still in the windshield.

My portion comes up around the 1-hour and 22-minute mark, though the whole show is amazing.

It’s exhausting to give a damn, isn’t it?

To be a person of compassion in a time and place when compassion is in such great demand?

Day after day, these legions of sorrows begin to take up residence in your body...

Facing a massive budgetary crisis, Zohran Mamdani is breaking with technocratic norms to openly explain the deficit while reiterating his pledges to oppose austerity and tax the rich — which means walking a political tightrope with Gov. Kathy Hochul. jacobin.com/2026/01/mamd...

This morning, I joined PIX11 to announce a new executive order requiring every city agency to designate a Chief Savings Officer.

Within 45 days, these officers will identify which city services deliver the strongest results for New Yorkers—and where we can streamline processes and cut waste.

Public pressure worked. ICE has backed down on plans to patrol the Super Bowl. Thanks to everyone who raised their voice and refused to stay silent. ✊

The Department of Homeland Security’s reported reversal comes at a time when more than half of Americans, responding to a Fox News poll, believe ICE is ‘too aggressive’ in its immigration enforcement ...

The penalty for disrespecting the vehicle of a masked goon getting paid by taxpayers to kidnap children is death. You'll be restrained then shot in the back and the government will protect your killers.

That's the idea here.
Information that Alex Pretti kicked an ICE vehicle a week before he was killed is newsworthy but ultimately of little importance. In other words, yes, it should be reported, but so what?

The greatest weakness of China and strength of the US is demography. We can grow due to immigration. This will kill our economy over time.
Fox Business does a segment about population growth slowing dramatically thanks to Trump, only seems vaguely aware that this is actually bad news

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
