Journalist Anas al-Sharif won’t be around to announce the ceasefire as he did the last time,
because Israel assassinated him along with more than 260 other journalists.
When using census data, the trend in New Rochelle is very similar to the national trend. Rents steadily increasing, with higher rates following the pandemic.
@beccpicc would you be willing to share your dataset?
New Rochelle is leading the way on building more housing, and they're seeing the results:
"New Rochelle’s median rent actually declined 2% from 2020 to 2023, while median rent nationally was surging at a double-digit rate."
Arizona Iced Tea founder explains why he will never increase the $0.99 price of his tea:
“We’re successful. We’re debt-free. We own everything. Why? Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent have to pay more for their drink? Maybe it’s my way to give back.”
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
Last year I had to patiently debate with a liberal zionist who showed up at an organizing meeting.
Today he is at an anti-ICE protest with a sign that says “End US aid to Israel!”
Piece by piece, human to human. Talk to each other. Build community.
Netanyahu’s strikes on Iran are acts of diplomatic sabotage that risk escalation, endangering civilians in both countries & across the region.
The US must stop supplying offensive weapons to Israel, which also continue to be used against Gaza, & urgently recommit to negotiations.
🚨NEW: Facing growing backlash, Trump reins in ICE to a limited degree. The top official at ICE HSI ordered agents not to do broad sweeps of agricultural businesses, restaurants, and hotels.
Other businesses, like factories and nail salons, are presumably still fair game.
These 75 Democrats joined Republicans to "express gratitude" to ICE agents and call for greater local and state collaboration with ICE.

Mexico’s president-elect just said: “If necessary, we’ll mobilize. We don’t want taxes on remittances from our fellow countrymen. From the U.S. to Mexico.”
A head of state openly calling for protests in the U.S. This is unprecedented.
UPDATE: Mayor's office issues new statement clarifying earlier Law Dept answer on whether the city complied w/ the ICE subpoena and says it did NOT. "Mayor Johnson will continue to resist any attempts by the federal government to violate the rights and protections of Chicagoans."
Immigrants pay taxes into medicare without benefiting from it. Holding any water for the lie that they are leeching the system distracts from the obvious truth that it is the healthcare industry that is the enemy to overcome to win universal healthcare.
Progressives should drop the argument that undocumented people should get healthcare when American citizens still don’t have FREE healthcare. The focus should be on guaranteeing FREE healthcare for every citizen first.
