Yesterday's ICE shooting of a New Yorker is unacceptable but it is not new. It is part of a broader landscape of discrimination, harassment, and terror against immigrant communities and communities of color. We join our city and state leaders in demanding accountability and answers now.

On Thursday afternoon around 4:00 PM, ICE agents shot a man in front of his five-year-old child and neighbors in Marble Hill, the Bronx.
The violence comes at a time when ICE has been rapidly escalating enforcement in our city, tearing Black, Latino and Asian immigrant families apart and spreading terror across our communities. No one should have to fear for their life in their own neighborhood because of federal immigration enforcement.
As New Yorkers, we are outraged at the reckless disregard for the safety of our communities shown by federal officers. We join our city and state leaders in demanding accountability and answers. We need a thorough, independent investigation, and we need it now.
Catherine Chen, Chief Executive Officer, Asian American Federation

Seeing lots of people go well Mamdani can't do anything about the NYPD because they won't obey him and you do see how this makes your entire political project a joke right? Like if that's true then you just spent all of your time electing a hostage Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

And maybe you need to be figuring out some other way of dealing with the police if they're just holding a gun to your mayor's head Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

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.

Whenever I visit, always struck by the disjunction between "Washington" the synecdoche for US empire and "Washington" the beautiful city for the people, just packed with public good and beauty, a promise to be something better. It's good to be upset about the latter's destruction.

I am 100% serious. Fascistic art demands adoration, demands to be loved, demands to be respected. It does not seek to express so much as to impress. It is art that aims to take and take and take, never to give.

As your frequent bookseller friend, I will tell you that direct orders from a bookstore will always go farther than a bookshop dot org order, as much they are useful with their affiliate system. Your local bookstore likely can ship your book to you too, and get things bookshop won't/can't carry!
