ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings.
This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

It's curious the MAJORITY of today's protest signs are about Musk. Here's hoping that really annoys Elon's pet.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out.
They gut the FAA.
Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted.
Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Trump politicizing rational, science-based research in order to make 2025 into George Orwell's 1984. Small things like this are the most dangerous, quietly reframing accepted norms and logical work as something aberrant. Look at Trump's bullshit report: bit.ly/4aSTMuM. #Science #Resist #FuckTrump

Today was my first official protest of the second Trump administration. As Trump and his collection of sycophants try to destroy the United States, it’s up to each of us as individuals to hold things together until we can turn the tide against him.
