ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy as he came home, say school officials Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas

ICE detained a 5-year-old Minnesota boy coming home from school + took him and his dad to Texas, school officials say. The family has an active asylum case + entered the US at a port of entry.

"They’re taking children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids," the superintendent told me.

Before I became mayor, I had the privilege of serving in the New York State Assembly. And on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Astoria & Long Island City can elect @DianaforQueens to continue our work.

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start.

Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

would love to be a fly on the wall of the condo board meeting with JLo and Chris Meloni talking about how chunks of concrete keep falling off the building

imagine spending $15 million on an apartment that makes you seasick when it's windy

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Beware the Centrist Dweebs Trying to Ape Zohran Mamdani All over the country, young Democratic candidates are running seemingly Mamdani-style campaigns. But check the fine print.

Good piece in @thenation.com with an important lesson: its superficial to assume Mamdani's success was simply about messaging while ignoring the message itself.

This school year all students in the state of New York will receive free breakfast and lunch every day at school.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.

Now she's a member of HTC.

Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

Good Cause NYC Good Cause NYC exists so that you and your neighbors can learn about new tenant protections and how to assert your rights

This I can answer:
- Apartments in NYC are covered except those owned by "small landlords" (landlords who own 10 or fewer units)
- Rent increases are capped at inflation + 5%, with a maximum of 10%
- Upstate cities may opt in

A thread of photographs from today's "Families Stand Up for Gaza" protest organized by @socialists.nyc, @jvp.bsky.social, and many other groups.

A Palestinian mother weeps while speaking to the crowd. The big "SHAME" heads on the displays behind her featured Schumer, Jeffries, and Gillibrand.

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate.

I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the “universe” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧵

What ICE Agents Talk About When They Think Nobody Is Listening Cat videos, “The Good Place,” and free Slurpies: these are the topics of conversation among federal agents between arrests in immigration court.

very good piece of writing about the horror and banality of the deportation machine

“Since AFP was founded in 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts, some have been injured, others taken prisoner.

But none of us remember witnessing colleagues die of hunger"

hoping things calm down soon!

Last weekend, we joined @socialists.nyc volunteer appreciation day to celebrate the thousands of members—old and new—who knocked on doors, made phone calls, and organized day after day for our victory in the primary.

Onward to November and beyond.

Left Electoralism After Mamdani: A Roundtable A strategy discussion on the opportunities and risks created by the DSA candidate’s primary win in New York City.

If Zohran Mamdani is mayor, he will have to navigate the contradictions inherent in leading the richest city in the world as a democratic socialist. We spoke to @emilyfmayer.bsky.social, @maxrn.bsky.social and Batul Hassan about the opportunities and risks created by his win.

Also pay attention to central Brooklyn (Jabari Brisport and Phara Souffrant-Forrest), Sunset Park (Marcela Mitaynes and Alexa Avilés), and Williamsburg (Julia Salazar and Emily Gallagher)

We have an organized political operation that takes leadership development very seriously! Not to underplay Zohran’s natural charisma & empathy but he & his team have been learning how to do this at the city and state level for almost a decade

What if the thing that’s bad is capitalism
