At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

As he said introducing the movie in NYC a week ago ‘I really really really like death. I’m Mexican.’
every time a GDT movie comes out I want to write a piece called Guillermo del Toro Is Mexican, a thing people seem to treat as incidental to his work but is in fact central to his Whole Deal

The scavenger hunt is using NYC mayoral history to paint Mamdani as firmly within the mainstream of that history. On age. On DSA membership. On public transportation policy. It's such a smart way to launch the general election campaign.
OMG the Mamdani campaign is utterly brilliant. Chef's kiss. Art.
We have Clue #3!!
I don't know which NYC Mayor this is, but I'm willing to bet location 3 is the Staten Island Ferry — which is FREE!

“Abolish ICE” is the floor
There needs to be a congressional investigation into ICE and its practices. The agency needs to be completely dissolved and its agents and officers need to be prosecuted for any and all crimes committed.
What's so clear here -- and so terrifying -- is that these cops view themselves as Trump's goons and know that Trump will let them get away with anything. www.thehandbasket.co/p/federal-ag...

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
