This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

298 fatalities when Russia downed MH17, most of them Dutch, but Russia DEMANDS an explanation from the Netherlands. Some nerve they have over there in the Kremlin.

Evidence suggests cats have never understood personal space.

An ancient Egyptian stone carving depicts a figure lying flat on their back on a raised bed while a small cat sits directly on top of the person's upper chest and neck, staring down into their face.

Privatisation in a nutshell: 1) Steal from us something we own. 2) Sell us back an inferior service 3) Charge us a higher price. The pattern is the same everywhere: royal mail, water, railways, the NHS, public services, council services…

Datacentres should be required to generate their own energy, and only from renewable sources (not necessarily on site). They should also be required to use the same recycled water repeatedly, cooling it with the energy they produce. And they should export their waste heat to be used as a resource.
