A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

It was invigorating to see the turnout at the No Kings Protest in Boston and see how many people in the crowd are 100% in tune with the current moment of threat to civil liberty.

The right to read is extremely circumscribed in America's prisons & even just getting books into them can be difficult. So, in honor of #BannedBooksWeek all orders from our Prison Book Program wish list will trigger a matching donation. Order here: portersquarebooks.com/wishlist/bri...

Also love that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social now has a copy of the largest Yiddish weekly newspaper!
Every NY politician should know that Yiddish is alive and kicking 😉

Have Chotiner moderate
New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.
Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

NEW: 16 months ago, a young Palestinian locksmith went to help unlock a car.
He's been in detention ever since.
The FBI interrogated him. After refusing to become an informant, he was put in high-security as "retribution."
He's not convicted of a crime—but ICE will neither free nor deport him.

Of all the awful stuff in this reprehensible bill, the fact that your children stop being considered dependents at SEVEN may be the most horrifying detail.
The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."
