No matter how many flyers you put up or how many trainings you do, there are still ppl who don't know what to do. In New Jersey, if you see 🧊 kidnapping your neighbors call (888) 347-3767. They just had to take someone they were trying to kidnap away in an ambulance in my neighborhood.

I hope all the folks that are withholding information about Nolan Wells' death be haunted for the rest of their lives.

Where I come from people live surrounded by the evidence of slavery everyday. It is not behind them. In Barbados or Tobago or many other Caribbean islands just running or walking through a field one can stumble over the detritus of slavery’s evidence. Abandoned, rotting but but not disappeared.

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

One immigrant justice advocate estimated that hundreds of protests have occurred in immigration jails in Trump's second term. He said that most of these protests are sit-ins and hunger strikes — but they only get covered if hundreds of people participate, while smaller ones fly under the radar.

More than 1 million New Yorkers live with disabilities. Our City government doesn’t work for anyone if it doesn’t work for everyone.

Two people, one in a wheelchair and one with a guide cane, sit at a bus stop talking to one another.

Text on image reads
“We’re making bus stops and buses universally accessible, installing accessible seating
at 875 bus stops in 2026.”

Mayor Mamdani crouches to talk to a child in a wheelchair.

Text on image reads
“We’ve installed and upgraded pedestrian ramps (curb cuts) at 7,000+ corners citywide.

Curb cuts are required by the ADA, but they benefit us all.”

So, he's down 100,000$, broke his ankle, people are inundating him with messages about how they can't wait to piss on the statue, his fundraising efforts crashed at 1400$ and none of the rich far right figures he was clearly catering to cared? Sometimes the universe whispers. Sometimes it shouts.

Instead, Furnari said he made the statue in an effort to “glorify and to exercise the first amendment, this freedom of speech” – although at points during the conversation, Furnari also said he made it to support Charlie Kirk’s wife; to “glorify democracy”; and to “commemorate a person”.

He later added: “Why am I making the statue? The same reason why Michelangelo did the Pietà, or Michelangelo did the David, or Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. Why? Just to commemorate a moment, you know, a person.”

I want to say things like "keep your head above water" "stay strong in the struggle" but I feel like it's deeper than that. We are going through some things in this country, and at this point in my life, I don't have the words to express.
