A nun who was taken into immigration custody after being arrested while walking to Mass in her habit last month in Texas pleaded Thursday for people to have the chance to be heard before being taken into custody, saying she was speaking out to help others. https://t.co/drcUjF5M8A

I am absolutely sickened and furious by what appears to be an antisemitic stabbing on the Upper West Side.

While we await additional details to be confirmed, we know that what is happening in our city is abhorrent. The fear in the Jewish community is real. Every New Yorker deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, regardless of their faith or identity.

We must remain united in condemning antisemitism and ensuring those responsible are held fully accountable. I thank the NYPD for its swift response in apprehending the assailant.

My prayers are with the victims and their loved ones.

ICE is arresting immigrants on Long Island by surveilling parking lots and running license plates https://t.co/QCrzE7XxCL

ICE is a cruel, violent immigration enforcement system that operates with impunity. For the just over 2 decades it has existed, I’ve called for it to be abolished.

Proud to sign this letter led by @SalazarSenate @DianaforQueens & @CMShahanaHanif.

Civil rights are not won once and kept forever. They are defended every single day through organizing, through voting, through showing up when it matters. That is the lesson of every generation that came before us, and it is the responsibility of every generation that follows.

Hunter Biden: “In the history of the United States of America there has never been a president that even comes close to the level of corruption that is occurring right now. It is a embarrassment on an epic scale. Every single facet of the Executive Branch, it is a pay-for-play”

Not only was Trump golfing while these two Americans made the ultimate sacrifice for his illegal war of choice, he’s now going to a soccer game instead of consoling the families who lost their loved ones.

That is who Donald Trump is.

We continue to follow with concern the events unfolding in various countries torn apart by war and violence. Let us not forget those who are suffering and dying because of these conflicts, and let us add our constant prayers to the generous efforts for #peace.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

The Trump-Vance administration wants us to celebrate inflation rates that are *higher* than when they came into office. They promised to lower costs and keep us out of war, then did the opposite.

Amazing how some NYC parents will pay $65K for Alpha online school that wasn’t allowed to open & now calls itself a “homeschooling support center” assigning lousy Khan Academy as curriculum, with Bill Ackman listed as “Parent/Quality Guide/Standard Bearer” https://t.co/sF8sd1THqj

John Lewis said, "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year. It is the struggle of a lifetime."

Lets heed his words

[New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) @thenyic]

NYers came together to honor Congressman John Lewis' legacy by defending immigrant rights, protecting voting rights, and civil rights.

Good trouble didn't end with John Lewis. It lives on in every person fighting for dignity, justice, and freedom. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

So the Russia hoax wasn't a hoax. Thanks, Donald.

Holy shit: ICE gave a gun and a badge to a man who threw his 13-year-old daughter through a coffee table and threatened to slit her throat!

Ana Navarro: “We’re in the middle of a war that none of us know when and how it will end. In the middle of this war, you’ve got the Secretary of Defense focused on who’s chubby in the military, who’s got a beard, and now testosterone levels. Why don’t you focus on getting the hell out of Iran and getting us out of a no-win war?”

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.

We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.

I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.

And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.

And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.

The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.

I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
