I love books, music, cooking, Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC, democracy, and fighting authoritarianism.

LMAO he's trying to be Mamdani!
Not only Republicans are not-so-secretly rooting for white supremacy to triumph.
Cuomo should be forced to drop out. Disgusting, racist, stupid comment.
I only caught part of it but it seemed great!!
Great post. @RiseandResist trained the 250 marshals for today's nyc march. They pressure capitulating law firms and Fox News with direct action every week. Subscribe: www.riseandresist.org/newsletter-s...

I am one of 200+ trained marshals that will do everything in our power to keep the huge NYC march safe. There is no planned civil disobedience to my knowledge - no planned arrestable actions. It's sad that the GOP is labeling No Kings as anything but what it is - a joyous celebration of democracy.
The Nobel trolling - smart. Push those buttons.
A better article. "In interviews, federal judges called the Supreme Court’s emergency orders “mystical,” “overly blunt,” “incredibly demoralizing and troubling” and “a slap in the face to the district courts.”"

The No Banned Books demonstration I help plan is satisfying. There's interaction with 100s of people from around the world in front of NYPL on 42nd and 5th. Librarians and teachers thank us and talk about their struggles with banned books. Some passersby are shocked that books are banned at all.

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations...
Not Stephen Miller accidentally outting the regime in an interview. Let that "plenary authority" claim slip right out and then had to act like the audio cut out.

Sir! We heard you.. and the President does NOT have plenary authority.

I wish the Democratic 'war room' would broadcast a daily news summary covering stories like these that for some unexplicable reason!!! go underreported by traditional media.
Marshaling is a great life-learning experience and you'll be a part of the history that succesfully defended democracy.

Midwest Correspondent for The Economist:
I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
Sad that we have to protest outside 26 Federal Plaza, NYC because the federal government is attacking journalists and sending them to the hospital, but we do and we will.
"We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either." is a strong rallying cry.
A moment of silence at a huge ICE Out of NYC march in downtown Manhattan. I mourned and reflected on what more I could do.
