My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

It’s crazy data brokers are even a thing to begin with. What’s extra infuriating is that the average American’s data is worth close to $1 million over their lifetime. Other people that aren’t you get to cash in on that data and you can’t really do anything about it and you don’t get a cent.

C-SPAN
DEMOCRACY UNFILTERED

For nearly five decades, C-SPAN has advocated for greater public and media access to our democratic institutions. We have urged Congress to open more of its proceedings to independent television coverage, called on the Supreme Court to allow cameras in its courtroom. and consistently supported greater access to the presidency.

C-SPAN typically stays out of the news cycle and lets the sights and sounds of politics speak for themselves. But access to America's leaders and institutions is at the heart of our public service mission - and throughout our history, our colleagues in the news media have supported our efforts to bring more openness to government.

It is in that same spirit that we urge the Trump administration to reverse its decision and immediately restore White House access to CNN, MS NOW and Politico. C-SPAN stands in solidarity with our colleagues as they seek to simply do the work that America's constitution guarantees them the freedom to do and upon which our democracy depends. The answer should always be more access to our government, not less. That openness serves the American public and strengthens our democracy.

Statement from Sam Feist, C-SPAN CEO

Emily Hilliard, a spokeswoman for the Department of Health and Human Services, confirmed on Wednesday that the department had not yet made a decision about whether to provide the shots through that program.
Vaccines for Children provides free shots to children who are uninsured, underinsured or eligible for Medicaid, as well as to American Indian and Alaska Native children.
Pediatric doses are available for children who have insurance, or whose parents can afford to pay for vaccines out of pocket.

This guy wanted to charge the ICE cop who blindly fired his gun into a house with a child inside, then lied to justify the shooting. DHS also tried to deport a witness, and publicly slandered the man who was shot. Trump's people blocked the prosecution, then fired the prosecutor for going public.

If there’s a silver lining, and this is a massive “if,” as it relates to Flock cameras, it’s that it’s putting a spotlight on just how inept and corrupt cops are. Not catching the license plate is wrong or the hit-n-run car you pulled over is the wrong color and has no damage

The "New York Times" article on the horrible antisemitic attack at Central Synagogue last night suggests without explicitly claiming links between the attack and Mamdani's anti-Netanyahu rhetoric... before acknowledging that the attacker actually hated Mamdani.
"City Hall said both the mayor and the head of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism reached out to Rabbi Buchdahl. Mr. Mamdani has faced calls to tone down and bring more nuance to the way he criticizes Israel, particularly after he released a video that urged federal authorities to arrest the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mr. Mamdani has said he is committed to protecting New York’s Jews and believes in holding Israeli leadership to account for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Earlier this week, a group of rabbis representing a range of religious denominations and political perspectives met with the mayor privately in City Hall. Many asked that he lower the temperature. Politicians have made similar calls for sensitivity.

“You can’t divorce the dramatic increase in violence targeted at the Jewish community from the political climate and the tone and tenor of the discourse around Jews and Israel,” said Micah Lasher, who won the Democratic primary in June to represent the congressional district that includes Central Synagogue, in an interview Saturday.""Though Mr. Montes’s mental state on Saturday remained unclear, a law enforcement official who was not authorized to speak publicly said that he had a history of mental health issues documented with the Police Department. Before Friday, Mr. Montes had also been arrested at least three times in New York City on a series of robbery charges.

A social media account that shared a name with Mr. Montes showed a handful of posts criticizing Mr. Mamdani and several more that mention Judaism or used Hebrew."
