Olive Garden breadsticks and bottomless salads should be a constitutional right.

[blair horner @blairhorner]

There is no constitutional right to Olive Garden food. Comparing to voting rights is ridiculous

3/ Let this be a reminder: ICE enforcement in our neighborhood will be met with resistance, every single time. Bushwick shows up for Bushwick.

Get involved! Join our ICE Out of Bushwick Day of Action next Saturday: https://t.co/FJNjNK2H3w

BREAKING: Chidozie Wilson Okeke is set to go free.

A judge has ordered his release after ICE detained him in Bushwick earlier this year and set off a community defense action for hours outside Wyckoff Hospital.

This is what happens when a community refuses to look away. 🧵

CHAOS OVERNIGHT as ICE Agents rush a detainee out from hospital during protester stand off in Brooklyn NYC

ICE dragged a man in custody out of the Wyckoff Hospital building after earlier detainement off site, as protesters massed outside.

Agents rushed ran into the ambulance bay with pepper spray canisters pointed at anyone in their way. Later running out with a suspect dragging him into a car waiting outside.

NYPD arrested several activists while trash and objects were thrown onto Stanhope St to block their exit.

One ICE vehicle appears to have a flat tire and blown-out rear window as they stopped on the Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge, where officers provided traffic control.

2/ When ICE violently detained Chidozie, Bushwick didn't stay silent. Neighbors showed up and held the line for hours because an injustice happening on our block is everybody's fight. The next day we called out NYPD complicity.

Thanks to @NILC, ICE actions are reversed today.

It’s a new day for the Brooklyn Democratic Party. Ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work ✊🏽 https://t.co/eEurwYDREa

[Sandy Nurse @SandyforCouncil]

We’re ready for new leadership in the Brooklyn Democratic Party. It’s time for a party that fights to win back Democrats, beat Republicans and actually talks to young people. Our @BklynCantWait coalition is nominating @JulioPenaNY to lead the way.

[New Kings Democrats @newkingsdems]

Brooklyn is going to have a new Democratic Party.

The Brooklyn Can’t Wait coalition of 22 incoming District Leaders have voted to nominate and elect District Leader @JulioPenaNY as Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair this coming September. 1/x

@Gothamist This headline! 😭

[Sandy Nurse @SandyforCouncil]

So much in this action plan was identified two administrations ago and there is plenty that can move quickly. The remediator should move aggressively here.

The Council was rightfully outraged when the last admin cut programs. We need to triple down on getting more at Rikers.

[Gothamist @Gothamist]

What Rikers' new remediator thinks is broken, and his plan to fix it

[Sandy Nurse @SandyforCouncil]

This is pretty great.

[Rachael Bedard @RBMD1982]

This @NYCMayor and World Cup czar @themayadecline have made “the World Cup is for everyone” the guiding premise behind their programming. Yesterday, the mayor made what I think was his fifth (?) visit to Rikers for a special watch party with detainees.

I just can’t say enough about how important and moving it is that this mayor makes clear to incarcerated New Yorkers that they are full citizens of the city he represents. I also just can’t say strongly enough how important it is that the mayor himself lays eyes on Rikers regularly, so that he cannot ignore the conditions on the island.

I’m proud and grateful to be his constituent, and to call the genius @themayadecline my girl ❤️🗽⚽️

I am so so proud of my friend and former colleague Annel. There is no one - NO ONE - more ready or equipped to fight to lower New Yorkers' energy bills. We are so lucky to have her in our corner.
