The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

ACLU's Cecilia Wang, who is arguing in the Supreme Court against Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, is the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants. Norman Wong, the great-grandson of Wong Kim Ark, is outside the court. Ancestors are watching.

Everyone who is born here is (currently) a citizen by birthright!!!!! I am the first person in my immigrant American family to be born in the US. Everyone else, except a few of my younger cousins, were naturalized. This is all of our damn birthright.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We're fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

My first (unhelpful, dumb) thoughts are that I need to call this young Azn boy's parents bc what the actual fuck is that child doing bringing shame on all of us and that the whole POINT of giving over your life to Delta Touchless as a New Yorker is that you spend 0 minutes in a LGA Terminal C line.

A note from our editors:
Note from the editors:

ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. 

The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement.

The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

One of the greatest things I've learned about the evangelical resistance movement to christian nationalism is that the ease with which our country tends to write off the religious left is bunk. Faith will always fight for justice.

my Blackest opinion is that the presumption of conflict between "America has a long and deeply rooted history of violence" and "we can and should fight against today's version of that, as did those who came before us" is less a philosophical debate about how to treat the past and more a skill issue
