Honestly I'm shocked anybody but collaborators had a problem with this protest. If one of my pastors was secretly an ICE goon, I'd be thanking protesters for outing them.
If ICE can drag people out of a church, then spare me the sermon about where protest is allowed. You don’t get to sanctify the building after the state already desecrated it. Save the pearl clutching.

MN ICE watch is measurably de-escalating violence. Attraction to ICE for newbies is social approval & group power. Now, larger group meets them with social censure. They're using more agents (taken from elsewhere) to conduct relatively fewer arrests, lowering abductions there & beyond.

One day longer, one day stronger! Management can paint nurses as villains all they want, but everyone knows who the real heroes are!
It's time for management to put patients over profits and negotiate fair contracts now! #NYCNurseStrike

Why Minnesota? It's not merely the most horrific kind of ill-luck that delivered another caught on video state mandated murder. Minnesota represents a direct assault on the white nationalist narrative & thus claim to power. 🧵

Message from the Hudson River Brigade in NYC today. A LOT of commuters were honking their approval, indicating that people have really been following the story of Renee Nicole Good's murder by ICE and are disgusted by our American gestapo.

Minnesota bringing the heat to ICE this morning
Good morning from the Whipple building, where protesters have blocked one the driveways into the ICE facility. Agents are in the parking lot getting ready for the day as protesters yell “ICE out now” and “murderers” at them.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here?
And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site?
No money for Musk, ever, please.

Proud to support @nynurses who just delivered their 10-day strike notice! Nurses don’t want to strike but are willing to do whatever it takes for safe staffing, workplace safety, and the healthcare they deserve. #NursesCareforNY #SafeStaffingSavesLives
BREAKING: Today, NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals and 3 Long Island Northwell Health hospitals delivered 10-day notices to strike. NYSNA will continue to bargain between now and January 12th in the hopes of reaching agreements.

Got through the inauguration block party security checkpoint just in time to watch Mayor Zohran Mamdani give his inaugural address on the Jumbotron. Nearly froze to death but it was great being with my fellow New Yorkers who are excited for change.

Kinda funny thing happening on Facebook right now. After midnight, it had appeared Mamdani's team was transitioning Mayor Eric Adams' page and put up pics of Z. But then Adams appeared to have wrestled back control and now has his profile picture back.

As we in NYC say goodbye to Mayor Eric Adams tonight, my only regret is that SNL did not have Chris Redd doing his impression of Adams on the show at least once a month. He perfectly captured Adams' chaos goblin energy, and I'm a little salty we didn't get more of it.
