These attacks are baseless, racist, and despicable. And they're a repackaged version of the same moral panic the GOP has sold for decades to undermine public investment in childcare and achieve its broader (and often misogynistic) policy aims. 10/

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

#FormerMayorAdams can go to Hellgate
At the NYPD detectives union's holiday party a bit ago, Mayor Adams said he looks forward to "smoking a cigar, drinking some single malt scotch and being able to tell every media in the city to go to hell," per audio shared with me.
This appearance wasn't on his public schedule.

The harder it is for people with criminal records to get jobs, the easier it is to recruit them for jobs like this.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
