The scale of how many ICE agents there are in Minnesota right now is something that seems to be getting lost in the discourse. It’s why they seem to be everywhere.
There are twice as many ICE agents in town as there are cops in Minneapolis and St. Paul combined. How do they imagine it would go down, exactly

NYC judges have an extremely accurate statistical instrument to help them decide whether to release someone before their trial. But a new study finds that judges often disregard those release recommendations, especially for Black defendants.
NYC Judges Have a Tool to Help Them Rule on Pretrial Detention. Why Are They Ignoring It to Make Racially Skewed Decisions?
Joanna Weill of the Data Collaborative for Justice talks about its new study that finds judges are more likely to ignore release recommendations for Black defendants.

there's a... pattern of behavior with Tesla/Musk and telling the truth, including in legal filings. But I'm sure all of Tesla's financial statements and accounting are totally accurate. That's gotta be the one thing they're telling the truth about, right?

Cuomo connects the leads in the wrong order, which is fine because you can tell they're not connected to a live battery because the cables are too slack to be connected back to front the way the cars are lined up; but, for the young people, don't do it this way. It's not safe.
Andrew Cuomo just posted this video on threads with no caption.

As a fellow Gentile, when I hear Gentile politicians attacking a Muslim candidate over made-up bullshit charges of antisemitism, what I hear them saying is that they basically think all charges of antisemitism must be made-up bullshit so they don't care about the difference

#AndrewCuomo won’t stand up to Trump; he’s under federal investigation for covering up nursing home deaths. Just like #EricAdams, Cuomo is compromised & will succumb to Trump to avoid jail time. NYC needs a mayor who will fight for us — not Trump. Watch 📽️ Jane break it down ⬇️. @dreamnyc.bsky.social

A guy who is afraid of all public forums where there is an unvetted audience is NOT up to the job of taking on someone corruptly controlling the entirety of federal power.

Done. Super easy. You do not have to fill out a category. You can submit anonymously. Fight for your right to vaccinations. Vaccinations are a miracle of science, and that it is being passed off as more dangerous than the diseases it prevents is completely idiotic and bad science.
This comment period ends today, 5/23, at 11:59 pm ET. Please do comment asap if you believe the government should allow us to get COVID vaccinations. I can't believe we even have to petition them about this, but here we are.
GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

When it comes to the fascist Trump White House, corrupt Andrew Cuomo has been silent.

Is it because he has a pending criminal referral from the Justice Dept for perjury?

Is it because he’s hoping for a pardon from his bachelor party bro, Donald Trump?

Again, he does not live here. He does not understand the city. He just wants a political position of power so he can enact his Trumpian revenge. He was actively hostile to NYC when he was governor. Do not rank him.

His story was that the police abused their power, and that's when he was inspired to become a cop. He's trying to draft this young person into law enforcement by detaining him on trumped up charges.

Kalman Yeger blackmailed his now ex-wife into signing an extremely restrictive NDA by withholding her get. He uses power to exploit others, and I'm ranking Zohran to get that element out of our politics because, as a Jew, I don't like being exploited.
WATCH ⬇️ Assemblyman Kalman Yeger slams attendees for shaking Mamdani’s hand and posing for photos.

He calls the mayoral candidate “one of the most vile antisemites in public office” who “has the chutzpah to walk into a Jewish event.“

JFC, we're getting a campaign of "remember when I was on TV every day and everybody loved me." I guess that's his plan for the Mayoralty too aside from groping women and settling scores. So many other candidates who aren't complete shit bags. Rank them. Don't Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor (DREAM).
“We had a president of the United States who denied Covid existed" Andrew Cuomo says at a BK church. "...When he got past denial he had his own solution: Drink Clorox. 'Covid won’t kill you if you drink Clorox.' Of course not, the Clorox is going to kill you if you drink Clorox!"

Please New York, we can do better than this bottom-feeding scumbag.
What do Anthony Scaramucci, Harvey Weinstein’s attorney, and a New York City councilor accused of biting a cop at an anti-homeless shelter protest all have in common?

They’re among the dozens of people Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign has so far enlisted to fundraise on its behalf.

The campaign has created 64 public fundraising web pages for people to raise money on its behalf. But it didn't disclose any intermediaries.
