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.

One of the things I loved about this movie was how well DePalma used the “action on-screen contradicts the narration” trick. Back then, it was too complicated for mainstream movie audiences. Now that trick is old hat.

Not really. Season 1 and 3 were solid, IMO. Season 2 was fun but had some truly atrocious dialogue writing in the flashbacks. Season 4 I didn’t love, didn’t hate. If you’re not on board after the first season, it’ll probably never click for you.

$96K tuition and fees + NYC rent. I would never get out of that hole.

John Annese @johnannese.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
As someone who paid around $26K for tuition in 1999-2000, these numbers will always seem unreal. I can understand why they’d spike a $120K program for working journalists who may be making half or even a third of that annually. Not sure if that factored into the decision, but still…
Columbia will continue to offer its Master of Science programs in Journalism and Data Journalism. Current M.A. students are not affected by the pause. The estimated cost of attendance for the nine-month M.A. for the 2026-2027 year is roughly $120,000. The M.S. costs around $130,000 and the year-long M.S. in Data Journalism costs about $180,000.
According to Columbia, around 80% of students receive some sort of financial aid.
