If word continues spreading to skip court dates, we could see NYC really wake up to defend neighbors. The Canal St raid-turned-flop that saw a rattled ICE team eagerly shooed back to 26 Federal Plaza by enraged New Yorkers was a great example of the brimming rage the city is waiting to unleash.

ICE activity has increased in Sunset Park, Bushwick, and Corona (non-exhaustive list) and it seems to be because people aren’t attending their court dates — either due to not receiving notice or intentionally skipping because they know people are getting disappeared at 26 Federal Plaza.

We are in an extraordinary moment for the fight for trans lives and greater gender freedom for all.

I wrote this year’s Remembrance Report - about what we’re facing, where we came from, and why we will never forget those who came before us:

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Reminder:

Being poor does not make you immoral.

Missing teeth, illiteracy, drug use, does not make you immoral.

Nuerodivergence & mental health issues do not make you immoral.

Being a sexist, racist, violent fascist does! Hope this helps with your messaging about current events!

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus
I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:
The voices of SNAP
Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

Today @bradlander.bsky.social wrote an op-ed on Zohran Mamdani’s historic win — and the work ahead.

“When Donald Trump sends troops here, it won’t be Trump vs. Mamdani. It’ll be Trump vs. New York City.”
Brad Lander on Mamdani's Win: "It’s not only on Zohran. It’s on all of us."
In an op-ed for In These Times, Lander writes that in response to looming threats from Donald Trump, "We’ve got to rise to the challenge together—as New Yorkers."
