I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

RIP to one of the great storytellers and thinkers. Manchán Magan. ❤️
Manchán Magan recorded this from his hospice sickbed knowing he had a short time left. It’s a beautiful conversation on ways language connect to land, myth & the spirit world, others ways of knowing & connecting with others. - We need people like Manchán more than ever.

There's nothing chaotic about the race! The runaway winner of the Democratic primary has a comfortable ongoing lead in the polls! The only chaotic element is the mind-traffic of the small circle of self-appointed civic elites melting down over their refusal to accept a straightforward situation.

Not a single New Yorker is surprised.
Especially not a #Brooklyn Dem. The man was corrupt even as BK Borough President, which is saying something.
However, I’m fine with him staying on the ballot in Nov to divide #Cuomo ’s vote. It does give you pause to ask exactly why this suit came out now.

Submit comment by Jul 15 on potential Nov ballot measure to allow open #primaries in future #NYC elections
I’m opposed 1) This came about VERY quickly & seems rushed for Nov 🧐 2) Primaries exist for parties to put forth their candidates. If not in that party why’d you get to pick party’s candidate?
