Handful of arrests by DHS/ICE & Newark PD at Delaney Hall after activists blocking vehicles entering/leaving DH were maced, assaulted by GEO Group employees.
! NPD now denying on-foot access to DH to *anyone* with a backpack, mask, or a respirator.
To understand the stakes of the progressive vs. centrist fight to control the Democratic Party, just compare Zohran's term so far with Spanberger's.
Zohran:
- Free childcare for 2-year-olds
- Banned junk fees
- Filled 100,000 potholes
- New bike and bus lanes across the city
- Wealth tax on luxury second homes
- Millions of dollars won for tenants and thousands of apartments repaired
Spanberger:
- Vetoed bill to let public workers unionize
- Vetoed bill allowing class-action lawsuits
- Vetoed bill to stop warrantless arrests by ICE
- Vetoed bill legalizing cannabis sales
- Vetoed bill to lower prescription drug prices
Trump was defeated in 2020, only to return in an even more dangerous form four years later. So we already know that it is not enough to beat MAGA once at the ballot box.
If Dems don't pair their next electoral victory with Mamdani's commitment to positively improving people’s lives, rather than Spanberger's model of selling out to corporations, we are going to be right back in the maws of fascism one election later. And this time, we might not be facing an authoritarian as incompetent and self-defeating as Trump has been.

assisted suicide is one of those things where i very strongly agree in theory but in practice seeing people be told “well no we won’t cover this treatment for your disease but you CAN kill yourself” is absolutely fucking heinous
Israel has long supported Nazis in Latin America. Most notably when they sent $1 Billion in military equipment to the Argentinian dictatorship that murdered thousands of Jewish communists— the most since WW2. Yet another reason to laugh at their fake cries of antisemitism.
