Immigrant New Yorkers belong here. ICE does not. If you need help, call our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365 or dial 311 and say “Immigration Legal.” Help is here in your native language, no matter your immigration status. More info: nyc.gov/knowyourrights

Dodgers fans are so spoiled. Have some respect for the other guys. And for that matter, the game -- baseball is hard. You lost by one run. Snell gave up 1 run. He is harder to judge than most because he'd rather walk a batter than give in with a fat pitch. Not efficient but this is what he is.

I wrote and recorded this with some of NYC's best musicians not expecting any profit but to give my little boost to Mayor Mamdani. I hope he likes it, and uses it any way he wants. Having just read & admired Colson Whitehead's Harlem trilogy, I hope he likes it, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly-J...

413% increase in assaults on ICE agents -- highly believable number. And then there's the difference between what ICE believes is an "assault" on its agents and what its agents do daily

This may be my only opportunity (and it's a stretch) to mention that my San Diego Padres announcers had a private but on-the-air but quickly squelched laugh together when one said "Take the wheel, Jésus" -- which I had to look up.

OK, pope hats in the wrong ballpark. How many in jacket & tie, Mr Stahl? And even 28 years ago, how many? Not saying you're wrong, I kind of like it. I suppose Powell & Westlake -- tastes we share -- also might have dressed that way had they gone to ballgames.

As I age as a white American, I also tend to not like solely white-people stories -- even ones with stock US black characters. But OK, I do like Scottish/north English tv dramas (Case Histories, Vera, Gently, etc.) -- their non-white people ring true to me. Also, cheaper & easier than Broadway.

Very thrifty of you, given the Mets' sad history with their most popular players. To compare Alonso to Clemens IS deranged. I also have never owned a player's jersey but I loved seeing the fans and Alonso, in the classiest way possible, stick it to the soulless front office.

FDR knew that you push to the LEFT and give people real, material benefits if you want to neutralize a rising fascist threat. Sadly, contemp centrists in the US and Europe have not learned this lesson.

Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent. He has never done infectious disease research and has never treated a single virus or infection in his entire career. He’s likely never seen measles.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Yes! She is wonderful. Never saw the Muppets as a child tho I did as an adult interview Oscar the Grouch, reached by telephone in his garbage can (it was explained to me). And btw I've been watching and enjoying the Detectivists on your recommendation. Hilarious, sweet, and different from all else.
