Lorenzo Salgado Araujo called Houston home for 35 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him. His family learned of his death from a video before anyone bothered to knock on their door.
New York City stands with the Salgado family in demanding a full, independent investigation and real accountability. To the Salgado family and any immigrant family in this city living in fear: we grieve with you and we will continue to stand beside you in the pursuit of justice.
Abolish ICE.

Never did I think I would see a cure for sickle cell in my lifetime. A friend of mine in fifth grade died from this disease. My parents kept me home from the funeral because they thought I was too young to handle it. Modern science is a miracle. www.wafb.com/2026/06/23/n...

Happy Father’s Day! Do you hate this day? Did your dad suck? I hereby offer you mine, pictured here holding his grandchild. My dad died a number of years ago but he always had room for one more and he was a great dad and a great person. He would have loved you.

This is possible! We could do it! And we could also end food insecurity and homelessness and then make sure all our people have healthcare. And stop bombing other countries. We could do these things.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

nearly all of post-WW2 american history can be explained by the split-second in Back to the Future when the bullying shifts from George McFly to Marty McFly, and George all but explodes in happiness at the idea of getting in on the torture on his own son, the new guy in town who sucks

My 15-year-old chose the Tubi horror movie last night. It was awful. Historically only the third movie we have rated “disliked.” Based on the dialogue we decided the director likely has a cyber truck. Excellent time had by all.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
