Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

The Supreme Court: we are moving the country closer and closer to white supremacist minority rule by instituting a modern day Dred Scott regime

If Roberts has Louisiana v. Callais, Section 2 of the VRA might actually be toast

as for the upshot of the decision, the republican court has put the citizen children of non-citizens in a position similar to that of free blacks during the antebellum period. their right to enjoy the privileges and immunities of american citizenship will vary according to state borders

No one to blame except the cowardly, sclerotic Democratic party. They knew the horrors of the Roberts Court and refused to act, depending instead on deteriorating institutions and disappearing norms. Pray we have one more shot at this.

Some legal analysts thought the Court would not be sympathetic to the Trump administration's arguments as it would reduce the power of the judiciary. They failed to understand that the Roberts Court's pattern of behavior is not seizing power for the judiciary, it's seizing power for itself.

The Supreme Court does not have any "moderate" justices. The Supreme Court is not your friend.

The Supreme Court's conservative supermajority just took away lower courts' single most powerful tool for reining in the Trump administration's lawless excesses, stripping them of authority to issue universal injunctions that block illegal policies nationwide. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Zohran is clearly a generational candidate but major props to his team who ran a nearly flawless campaign. Thinking a lot about the video he put out after the Nov 2024 election where he talked to Trump voters in NYC. It put him on the map when so many Dems were looking for voters to blame.

For New York canners, a dime could make all the difference The deposit on a bottle remains just 5 cents. The β€œBottle Bill” could change working and living conditions for canners

New York City cannersβ€”many of them immigrants and people of colorβ€”help keep millions of containers out of landfills. Their work keeps the country’s largest city cleaner, yet their contributions remain largely unrecognized. My latest for @prismreports.org

Lander says he's fine, lost a button in the scuffle earlier. "I will be fine but Edgardo will not be fine," he says of man taken by ICE when he was detained. Lander says he has not been charged at this point.

Brad Lander Detained by Masked Federal Agents Inside Immigration Court The arrest came in his latest visit to the courthouse to speak with migrants there.

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

In the NYC mayor’s race, the NY Times stuck to its new no endorsement policy but selected an β€œopinion panel” which last week recommended Brad Lander and today published a long, discursive β€œadvice” essay that undermines Lander, dismisses Mamdani completely and grudgingly boosts Cuomo.

we’ve gotten this kind of Q a lot and here’s what I can say [mini 🧡 incoming]

ideally, it is always best to fill all five ballot slots with candidates because that will ensure you have a voice β€” and your ballot is not β€˜exhausted’ β€” if there are many rounds of tallying

however!!! …

Are you a supporter of Zohran who's unable to canvass? I understand, and no worries.

There are other ways to do field; the most effective is doing relational outreach with Reach.vote.

I watched large portions of this segment and at one point @mattyglesias.bsky.social threw up this slide, said Dems are "making bad press on this issue" and moved on.

But the polling is wildly on Dem's side on this one! Opponents of what the Trump admin is doing with him outnumber supporters 2-1!
