He's trying to make the ADL into a Republican front group, and that is actively harmful to the cause of combating antisemitism.

"If [a sitting homeless person's] arms are out wide and he's holding a big sign, he's blocking people from walking. So they'd say, 'You can arrest him' ... Let's say you had an attractive woman sitting on the sidewalk. You were to leave her alone and to only deal with the homeless people."

this!!!! it may be hard for some to accept that the government could be this cruel (especially when they've largely had positive interactions with law enforcement) but federal agents are, in fact, the one terrorizing immigrant communities right now.

A quick thought on “smuggling” vs. “trafficking,” two terms which Bondi used somewhat interchangeably. Generally, people pay to be smuggled; it’s a service. Trafficking, by contrast, is involuntary; no one wants to be trafficked. That distinction is key in thinking through the allegations.

hey, just following up with a quick legal ethics question: why did you ask your client whether he had information which could be used to blackmail the President?

"In 2021, New York Democratic leaders blocked a vote on a bill that would have created a universal single-payer health care system ... even though it had the support from the majority of lawmakers. A similar bill was reintroduced in the state Senate this January, but it has not moved forward."

Claiming that “white supremacists are infiltrating law enforcement” misunderstands both white supremacy and law enforcement. Water doesn’t “infiltrate” a stream.

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.

"Immigration enforcement is a pillar of the carceral state. It is not broken; it is functioning exactly as designed. These bills weaponize that system further, deputizing local governments into the hands of federal repression. ... They target Black and Brown communities with surgical precision."

I want to remind everyone that without Elon Musk, we wouldn't be in this situation where our academic institutions, science enterprise, and democracy are being dismantled, and millions of additional people around the world are going to die. We want both of them to lose horribly in this fight.

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes
Calvin dressed as a noir detective, saying "Yeah. That's me, Tracer Bullet. I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon. The drink packs a wallop, and I pack a revolver. I'm a private eye."

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion

Had a really nice time canvassing tonight for Zohran! People are a lot more engaged and everyone I spoke to was committed to not ranking Cuomo and ranking strategically to stop him. Had a lot of nice chats and got an 18 year old to register for his first ever election. 10/10 highly recommend.

A key objective of the real estate lobby is gutting NYC’s “Green New Deal” law, Local Law 97. It makes landlords invest in their properties to raise energy efficiency, which creates jobs, reduces pollution & cuts utility bills. As Gov, Cuomo tried to gut it. These stakes are high! 🧵

This is correct, and the proper historical parallel for this is, literally, old fashioned monarchy, in which the country is legally the private property of the king or queen. The people have no title to power in his country. A bunch of 19th century European politics was just a fight to abolish that

I feel disconnected from reality a lot lately because I have all of these attachments to rules and systems and good government that seem not to matter to anyone else. Like am I the only person who thinks it’s bonkers that Musk could buy the election and then threaten the president because of it?

Also, to be temporarily serious, I hate that my political awareness as a citizen in a so-called representative government requires keeping up with the personal relationship of an unhinged billionaire private citizen and the man to whom he gifted the presidency
