ICE is terrorizing and tearing apart the Hmong and Laotian refugee communities in Michigan. At least 16 people were abducted and will be deported to the very countries their families fled — families that risked their lives to help the U.S. military during the Vietnam War and the Secret War in Laos.

Today's Supreme Court ruling allows Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship to take partial effect in as little as 30 days. This decision is a dangerous step backward in the fight for equal rights and threatens the futures of immigrant communities nationwide — including many Asian families. 🧵⬇️

BREAKING: SCOTUS has limited the power of federal judges to stop Trump’s overreaching executive orders – including his attack on birthright citizenship. This will end citizenship rights for many U.S.-born children of certain immigrants in as soon as 30 days.

this is a sharp articulation for why center-left types skeptical of mamdani should nonetheless rank him and definitely not rank cuomo
In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible.
In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.
