Queens Neighborhoods United, a group representing Corona, Elmhurst, and Jackson Heights posted a statement about the abduction of 7 community members from the same corner in Corona, Queens. They describe that federal agents cycled in and out of the block kidnapping ppl throughout the afternoon.
"Immigrant women have always been the quiet architects of change in NYC. Jewish and Italian garment workers led strikes... Chinese immigrant women organized tenant associations ... Puerto Rican and Dominican mothers built tenant unions ...Caribbean women transformed the city's care economy"

There's no question that the @nytimes.com has ACTUALLY openly campaigned against Mamdani. Everyone in the city saw it. Why would they be trusted to report honestly on anything if he wins? The answer is they would not.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
Raul Julia’s funeral sounds like a bigger deal than Queen Elizabeth’s which makes sense bc he was objectively more important
To prepare for the new Kiss of the Spider Woman I’m watching the 1985 version with Raul Julia and now I need to see everything Raul Julia has ever done

I saw the Addams family movies as a kid but I had to be a grown woman with life experience to appreciate the depth of this man’s appeal

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund.

Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.
I can imagine what “masculine men” she was expecting - someone tall, handsome, physically strong, a high earner who always pays and plans to financially support and physically protect his partner/family, never strays

This person doesn’t exist except in the mind of someone filming themself for IG
A huge amount of heterosexual discourse (alt right or not, tho I think all of it is inherently conservative) begins and ends online

Influencers craft imaginary narratives about people/dating and it fuels an online ecosystem that impacts what people think and how they act - but it was never real
I keep thinking about this and cracking up.

girl what.
What happened to all that "war on Christmas" discourse now that the feds are keeping millions from being able to enjoy a Christmas dinner
These additional costs will be taken from the pockets of Black and brown working class women, at the same time food is being taken off their plates by the illegal refusal to fund SNAP during the shutdown

Another example of what happens when there are no concrete consequences violating federal court orders
“Immigration officials have deported a father living in Alabama to Laos despite a federal court order blocking his removal from the US on the grounds he has a claim to citizenship, the man’s attorneys said on Tuesday.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.
