As far as I’m concerned if someone dressed as law enforcement is wearing a mask it’s either because they’re avoiding inhaling smoke or because they know what they’re doing is illegal.
Arrests have begun in North Carolina based on profiling.
ICE needs to show clear ID before stepping onto private property and asking for proof of citizenship.

Oh hey — you know that big Chicago raid where Stephen Miller said the building was “FILLED” with gang members?

No, we must create a language to account for wellbeing for all who have a stake in business and build governance upon it
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Letter from Chicago broadcast veterans: Federal immigration agents have traumatized us and eroded our rights
The fact that some federal immigration forces may be leaving soon is cold comfort given the damage they’ve done.

REPUBLICAN Rep. @repchiproy is rightly APPALLED that hagerty & @marshablackburn and others snuck a provision to let senators sue taxpayers for $500,000 MINIMUM for being investigated as part of Trump’s insurrection into the government funding bill.
Insane corruption.

Father of two, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, senselessly killed by ICE
He had no criminal history, just traffic tickets. He was a soft-spoken man who left his quiet village years ago for economic opportunity in the US and worked long hours to support his two children.

I’m feeling the need to tell people that they sell a bear spray neutralizer. It costs around $30-40. And it neutralizes pepper spray in case you accidentally (or intentionally) come in contact with pepper spray. I carry a bottle with me in the first aid kit in my van.

Most of the conversation about whether Mamdani can deliver universal child care has focused - rightfully - on cost. But I've been curious (as a reporter and parent of an infant + toddler) what it would take operationally. So I talked to lots of knowledgable ppl: www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...
Mamdani pledged universal child care for NYC. What will it take to get there?
Mamdani will face an array of logistical and operational challenges in standing up new public infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of youngsters.
