Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

This is also true of millions of Americans who are not New Yorkers. We’ve all been aware for a long time that the system is broken.
New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Hey historians 🗃️: Do you know of presses that publish short books (around 30K words / 90 pages plus notes)? I have been working on an article project that could easily turn into an great micro-history of that length, but I'm not sure it would make it to the usual full 60-90K words...

Anonymous American Gestapo ICE agents chase a local flower shop owner into the woods to abduct them.
Neighborhood bystanders follow them into the forest and film them, harass them, and shame them until they leave.

WE HAVE ACHIEVED PERMANENT AMBIENT "THESE MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE GOT TO GO." And of course I mean the pedophilic corporate/political elite, but by now it's everything: insurance companies, podcasters, and people who put the toilet paper roll on backward.

What keeps New Yorkers up at night are not the right-wing fever dreams of Andrew Cuomo.
It's whether or not they can keep living in the city they love.
