@ABC7NY thanks for the noisy wake-up call this morning as you are flying loops and hovering over our neighborhood and #CentralPark disturbing humans and animals. @StoptheChopNYNJ

@VanityFair @christress describing Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in your "American Love Story" article as "perhaps the ultimate WASP socialite" is factually inaccurate as she was Catholic. Jacqueline & JFK broke barriers to become the first Catholics to occupy the White House.

@galeabrewer @NYPDPC Public safety or joyriding?
I have never complained about #NYPD flights before, but this is ridiculous. #stopthechop #citynoise

[Kara Kelly @Kara__Kelly]

@Lindasantangel1 @NYPDnews @NYPD @NYCMayor Jessica Tisch @NYPDPC this is ridiculous it's 11:00 pm, there have now been multiple #NYPD #helicopters joyriding (unless you can explain otherwise) over New Yorkers HOMES for hours. #stopthechop

[Kara Kelly @Kara__Kelly]

@NYPDnews is there a #publicsafety reason why this NYPD helicopter took off from Floyd Bennet Field Bklyn & is now flying circles over #CentalPark & my neighborhood for the last 15 minutes? It's 10 pm and the helicopter is loud and my windows are shaking #stopthechop #uws #nyc

[Kara Kelly @Kara__Kelly]

@NYPDnews Really, why is @NYPDnews still loop-de-looping over #CentralPark ? Emergency or joyride? Seniors, children, babies, sick people, people who have to get up early for work are trying to sleep. Very disrespectful. #stopthechop #uws

BREAKING: After unlawfully deporting our @smartunionworks Local 100 union brother Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to return him to the US.

We stand in solidarity with SMART for due process and the rule of law.

[IUPAT @GoIUPAT]

Our union stands with our brother Kilmar Abrego Garcia in @smartunionworks because an injury to one is an injury to all.

We are grateful that the Trump administration has been ordered to do the right thing and return him to the U.S. by Monday.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

This is selling "indulgences," which is one reason that Martin Luther left the church. (I.e. one reason Protestant churches exist.) But the Prosperity Gospel isn't the Gospel. It's a grift. Suffering is part of life. Jesus said, "Take up your Cross," not "Take out your wallet."

After Secretary Hegseth argued “nobody was texting war plans," The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg responds: “That’s a lie. He was texting war plans, he was texting attack plans."

"When targets were going to targeted. How they were going to be targeted. Who was at the targets. When the next sequence of attacks were happening. I didn’t publish this…because it felt like it was too confidential.”

Come hell or high water, Amazon Teamsters will win this fight against corporate greed in the end.

This is what American workers are up against — a truly corrupt trillion-dollar corporation trying to flood Teamsters picket lines instead of even attempting to negotiate fairly with its workforce.

As a reminder, Catholic teaching is that the death penalty is "inadmissible." So please stop calling the Catholic justices who allowed an execution to take place "pro life." All life is reverenced as sacred by the church, even the life of the person on death row.

Scoop: The US government raised concerns with Germany about alleged union-busting in Alabama by Mercedes, an unusual move that escalates scrutiny on its handling of the high-stakes union vote. Members of European Commission brought it up with Mercedes too https://t.co/hPQCqOEauD

JUST IN: A second whistleblower connected to Boeing has suddenly died at the age of 45 after catching a “sudden illness.”

Whistleblower Joshua Dean was known for being in good health and having a healthy lifestyle.

Dean was one of the first whistleblowers to accuse Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems of cutting corners.

He was fired in April 2023.

Dean was rushed to the hospital two weeks ago for having trouble breathing.

His condition began to worsen.

He was intubated and developed pneumonia before contracting a bacterial infection, MRSA.

According to a CT scan, he also suffered a stroke.

Dean was represented by the same law firm who represented Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, who allegedly committed su*cide in March.
