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.

She was eight months pregnant. A two-year-old was in the house. They handcuffed her over a $3,596 bill from her doctor. That doctor is now a senator, and his lawyer wants the ad taken down.

There’s a motte and bailey to it. That ambiguous text and terms of art can codify a meaning understood at the time of adoption is true and mundane. But in practice “originalism” has become just this: bad faith window dressing for right-wing policy preferences and pro-Republican partisanship.

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.
