Despite the general misery, there are still a few bright spots in New York progressive politics. @newyorkstateag.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

New York Attorney General Tish James has been a steadfast voice against federal fascism and had led other state’s attorneys general in the fight. In response to a recent anti-immigrant lawsuit brought by US Attorney General Pam Bondi, James said “I am prepared to defend our laws, just as I always have.” New York State Assemblymember and New York City Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani brought the energy voters craved Wednesday when he confronted Trump Border Czar Tom Homan in Albany about the illegal detainment of Mahmoud Khalil. “How many New Yorkers will you detain without charge?” Mamdani yelled at Homan through a gaggle of cops. “Do you believe in the First Amendment?” Video of Mamdani’s confrontation has spread like wildfire across social media, and it’s no mystery why: New Yorkers want a fighter and Mamdani has demonstrated his agility in the ring. And of course Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez remains one of the state’s strongest voices for bravery and solidarity, calling out Schumer for his cowardice. The demands for her to primary him in 2028 grow louder by the minute.

Disturbing stories on the unnecessarily and increasingly aggressive and punitive behavior of US border enforcement. And these are European tourists of allied countries -- who are likely treated better than people from other parts of the world: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/w...
German Tourists Detained for Weeks, Then Deported From U.S.
Amid President Trump’s border crackdown, German news media have closely followed the treatment of two tourists who say they tried to enter the United States legally.

Printable 2x4 labels (& more) in this thread. Full sheets at bit.ly/4kOXREP: load your labels, print, stick 'em up wherever. (Don't be a jerk.)

Will this magically solve things? No.
But it helps like-minded people to take their own actions, by letting them know they're not alone. ❤️👊

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇

I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.
