Your reminder that ICE should be presumed lying when it claims someone "weaponized their vehicle" against them. It's never true. It never happens. It's always a lie.

Here is the thing. People in government must not make false statements. All political appointees records should be reviewed. If they have made false statements, they should be fired. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The next time you hear someone complaining about reading to their kids, or posting that it's boring, or saying they just have AI do it, be aghast. We should all be AGHAST. That's bad parenting and they should not only be embarrassed, but they need to change their thinking and behavior. For the kids.

New Yorkers: Do you have a form of immigration relief called withholding of removal? Have you received an ICE letter summoning you to 26 Federal Plaza? Here’s what  you can do:

1. Call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365, or call 311 and say "Immigration Legal" for free, confidential help in your native language.

2. Fill out our intake form to get help from the Rapid Response Legal Collaborative: nyc.gov/RRLC

3. Make a plan. Make sure you have an emergency contact and that someone you trust has your A-number. Talk to a lawyer before making any decisions.

I also really think Dems need to air ads pointing out that Trump never sent anyone a Doge check or a tariff check. Because everyone wants five grand. It’s insulting and illegal but I bet you it works on a lot of people. Remind them that his promises are worthless.

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

But keep two things in mind 1. A majority of rapes on college campuses are not reported 2. Despite that, there are thousands of rapes reported per year Somehow, “But false allegations!” always seems to end up at the center of the discourse

The connections being drawn between the Cornell 7 and Brock Turner bring up something crucial: The outrage at Turner’s insanely light sentence has ultimately made it impossible for him to blend back into society. Where legal redress failed, community stepped in to make sure no one would forget.
