Our Mayor-elect and a certain Senator from Vermont walked the picket line with the Starbucks workers in Park Slope today. I was able to hear them speak, but because I am vertically challenged, I couldn't see them--except through other people's cameras. I did get photos of an ear and a forehead.

Zohran Mamdani is calling for city-owned grocery stores. NYC already has them.
The idea has broad support from progressives, while some critics warn against “radical socialism.” But New York already has city-owned grocery stores.

I saw a post this morning that there was a gestapo—I mean ICE— raid at a carwash in our neighborhood. I guess it was more than a rumor. Post below from NYC Councilmember Shahana Hanif. I've also heard that her office is seeking any video, etc, of the raid.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. -Jacob Riis

#HandsOffSocialSecurity this week. When asked for a quote, I had to think "we're here about Social Security right now." That was hard, as what had kept me up the night before was concentration camps. But I think the reporter got the quote right. It was OK considering I hadn't planned it.

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.
This weekend, DHS targeted and seized Mahmoud Khalil as punishment for his political speech, and indicated that they are revoking his green card. They have since handed him over to ICE where he is being detained — his location unknown — and held for deportation without due process. 

This is what fascist governments do, and it will not stop here. This extreme escalation is the test case; the Trump/Musk administration is trying to see how far they can go without public outrage and legal checks on their power. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

Two bullet points of what I have done so far today: • Called Representative to encourage him to hold the line on the budget. I got a person in the Brooklyn office, but left a message on the DC number. • Sent an email to my contacts who may not be on social media about no shopping on Friday 2/28.

I have seen and heard several times that the coup isn't a coup because of the courts. Question: are the criminals paying attention to court orders? Who enforces the court orders? Are the criminals facing off with police? Are they quietly leaving the places they are blocked from taking over?

Why are Democrats rushing to seek "common ground" with Trump II? It's confusing and demoralizing. I mean, if you are going to say he's a "fascist" and a "threat to democracy" either act like you mean it, or don't say it. open.substack.com/pub/theconne...

Our block right now. National Grid is replacing pipe. This photo was taken from under the scaffolding at the soon to be demolished church. Across from the garage, next to the church, is a building getting a gut renovation. The white truck is across the street from our house. It’s a bit noisy here.
