THE CITY @thecity.nyc · 3d

As masked federal agents target street vendors on Canal Street, THE CITY watched one street vendor being detained.

As the operation carried on, agents were confronted with a spontaneous crowd of protesters.

This person, from the outfit, seems to be the same person in another video using their body to protect other protesters from being pushed by an ICE thug. 100% a hero

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

If you banish me to the Haunted Labyrinth I am just going to open a little diner right at the Traitor’s Gate. Locking me inside an unsolvable maze means I have a captive audience. I am on levels of grind you cannot understand

In a statement, VA press secretary Pete Ksperowicz says "radical liberals" in Congress are shutting down the government to achieve, among other goals, "'transgender' for everybody."

Radical liberals in Congress are trying to shut down the government to achieve their crazy fantasy of open borders, ‘transgender’ for everybody and men competing in women’s sports. If they succeed, they will stop critical Veterans care and assistance programs. For instance, during a shutdown:

VA will not provide Veteran career counseling or transition assistance program activities.
The GI Bill Hotline will be closed.
VA benefits regional offices will be closed.
VA will cease public affairs and outreach to Veterans.
VA will not permanently place headstones or maintain the grounds at VA national cemeteries.
VA will not process applications for pre-need burials.
VA will not print new presidential memorial certificates.

What strikes me about this was not only Ta-Nehisi’s explanation about why he won’t abandon people even if it’s “politically expedient”, but also Ezra’s impulse to set aside politics to grieve Kirk, while the communities enduring active violence don’t appear to receive the same level of empathy

This was revealing. Worth reading. The basic demand is that Coates spend less time thinking/writing his true feelings and more time playing political strategist. Klein asks him over and over him to do Dem strategy; he says no, over and over. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

I know this is a waste of time, but of anyone in the Bay Area can take on a cat, this ~5 month boy I trapped for TNR turned out to be way friendlier than I thought and also has a limp that does not pain him but can't be easily fixed.
