NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.
This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

"Give the Acela corridor real high-speed rail" is an underrated idea.
I'd love to see more high-speed passenger rail in the US. Just worth keeping in mind that the most viable city pairs are almost all either within the Acela corridor (which already has "high-speed" rail, nominally) and the Cali corridor (where HSR is already in halting & hotly contested progress).

New York Rep. Pat Ryan, who easily held his Hudson Valley swing seat last month, spoke for AOC in the Dem conference meeting yesterday. Asked him what he said and he just sent me the speech - sharing in case it's interesting
