ICE will arrest anyone—even a 16-year-old who just wants to get back to class.
Joel Camas may be the first unaccompanied minor detained by Trump this term.

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him.
The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start.
Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

Cuomo has tried to used Islamophobic & racist remarks to swing NYers at every step of his campaign. As fellow members of a religious minority, we will not stand for these disgusting attacks, & NYC voters clearly aren’t either.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Cuomo + Trump and racist AI slop. Name a more iconic duo.
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

Multiple JFREJ members were on the ground last night & watched this go down. By violently arresting protestors and ICE-watchers, the NYPD is actively supporting the masked ICE agents carrying out Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

Hey, New York people: I can report that as of this morning, I got an actual person to pick up the phone at Chuck Schumer's Washington office. So if you'd care to call to tell him to, say, oppose the nomination of RFK, Jr. and start showing some actual fight, now's a good time to call: (202) 224-6542

It was freezing last night. Without safe shelters available—let alone actual housing—many homeless people take to the subways in search of a warm place to sleep. This is an unspeakable horror.
