New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."
Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will
Horrifying. For EVERYONE, because this man was not a student - he had already graduated - and as a student, he had NOT been in disciplinary trouble with the Uni, this says.
Could read as"NYC permanent resident kidnapped from his home, where fed agents hid & w/o warrant, & refused access to atty"
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

“In an act of extraordinary friendship to our country … (El Salvador) has agreed to the most unprecedented & extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world,” Rubio said.
The deal would of course be illegal and as CNN reports it's unclear if U.S. will take offer

HIGHLY recommend checking out the Edges of Ailey exhibit at the Whitney while you still have a chance. Was beyond moved multiple times and I say that as someone is not a huge dance person.
A friend of mine lost their home yesterday in the Eaton fire, after a really rough year. Their friend has organized this campaign to help get them back on their feet. If you can, please donate. It would mean so much to me.

On the scene of the Amazon strike in Maspeth, the NYPD is trying to break the picket, engaging in arrests of union members and engaging in physical confrontations with workers and their supporters.
NYU banning student protestors from a building that houses a legendary archive of the history of radical protest is almost like hiring a journalist who covers policing in New York City and penalizing him for covering policing in New York City...

Hi all! I am currently looking for some part time story editing/consulting work for the winter + spring. Ideally between a 10 - 15 hr range. I also love to give one-off workshops and classes!
Here’s a picture of me in high school as proof of my enduring taste and style.
A point of focus:
NYU’s actions over the past few days are the main way they have addressed peaceful demands for disclosure and divestment of its complicity in Israel’s occupation and genocide.
The architecture of repression applies far more broadly of course.

Several faculty and students were given this designation with no explanation of why other than “violation of university policy.”
In my case, the violation could only have been filming interactions between campus cops, administrators and students during a peaceful sit in.
This is where we are.
NYU Campus Security and Administration is totally out of control.
On Wednesday - I filmed a peaceful protest in Bobst library for two hours.
Yesterday at 2pm while at home,
I received an email explaining that I’ve been designated “persona non grata” and banned from several buildings on campus.
NYU Administrators have once again chosen to arrest New Yorkers for peaceful protest including faculty members. Please share. Protest is ongoing
We're back!
“Let this be a provocation to those of us who confront complex and necessary truths through the act of storytelling…where we must find ways to maintain our integrity, for our communities to be heard and for true histories to be told.” ❤️
It’s my birthday today. If you’re my friend, former or current student, or someone who appreciates the kind of work I do the biggest gift you could give me is signing this. I owe so much to this program and the team behind it: tinyurl.com/34pn38m4
Wow. This is such a huge loss — for listeners and for makers. Proud of the team behind this show and all the beauty they shared with us.
And you can pre-order our first ever limited edition print issue too!
