This proposal is an alarming expansion of digital surveillance that treats visitors like suspects & violates the First Amendment.
This xenophobia will not only decimate the tourism industry in NY & beyond, but it demeans our country.
Americans would be outraged if we were treated this way abroad.

Yesterday, we asked Illinois residents to contact their elected officials to ask them to stand up to ICE and join us for a press conference at Broadview this Friday morning.
Guess what? It’s working.
An alderperson just called me to let me know a constituent emailed her and she will be attending.

This is a seriously fascist move. Trump fires head of BLS after weak jobs report.
I just looked up Erika McEntarfer since the White House is portraying her as a Biden mole. This is laughable. She has a Ph.D. in Economics and spent 22 years as a government civil servant during Republican and Democratic administrations, including the first Trump administration. 🧵

I’ve watched this half a dozen times now. It’s the funniest fucking thing I’ve seen in months.
This exchange between Trump and Jerome Powell is like a TV sitcom.
Trump quotes a new figure for the renovations at the Fed. Powell shakes his head. Trump shows him the paper and says "it just came out." Powell explains that Trump added an irrelevant building... that was built five years ago.

Actually, in 2016, Trump repeatedly and falsely denied Russia was intervening in the election. He was covering for Putin—that is, aiding and abetting a foreign adversary that was assaulting the USA with information warfare. So....
