Also, with the new congress we should end MLB blackout zones. Just to really make a full list of all the things we need to fix

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

This is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment. The state of Tennessee botched an execution and tried to hide the gory consequences as witnesses twice watched a woman survival the supposedly “lethal” injection. The death penalty is a crime against humanity.

Black text on white page that reads:

More than two centuries ago, Father Hidalgo y Costilla’s church bell gave way to the cry of a people known as El Grito de Dolores — a call for freedom that would begin Mexico’s long struggle for independence. 

Today, that same spirit of self-determination lives in Mexican New Yorkers who have helped build this city for generations — from the zapateros of Corona to the banda musicians of Sunset Park. 

As we celebrate an independent Mexico, we also celebrate the Mexican New Yorkers who make our city great. And we recommit ourselves to defending their dignity and right to belong.

In moments of uncertainty and cruelty, New York City does not leave its own behind.

¡Viva México!

For years, Alaska officials prosecuted (& persecuted) a community of American Samoans in the city of Whittier, threatening them with years in prison for the crime of voting. You may have read about this when we covered it in Bolts earlier this year. HUGE NEWS: Alaska just dropped all charges.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

This is good, but as Rojas’ attorneys said, it will be next to impossible for her shuttered clinics to reopen. Her midwifery license is still suspended. All because she was doing things midwives do, like treating miscarriages and carrying misoprostol, an essential obstetric medication

The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.
