In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

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.

When the lesson you learn at places like Cornell is that there are zero consequences
for sexual violence, you can go on to do anything. Like become the
Secretary of Defense.
Or a Supreme Court justice. Or even... the president of the United States.
This is what living in a rape culture looks like.

If you've willingly consumed alcohol, a NY law makes it extraordinarily difficult to prove that you were unable to consent to sex. That includes situations where a victim is slurring words or falling down. Advocates say the law was critical in a DA's decision to decline prosecution at Cornell.

The loophole that likely doomed the Cornell rape case before it even started
Accusers who voluntarily drink have little protection under an antiquated law many see as "victim-blaming."

Mary Hayes, who also lives nearby, said she looked outside at about 7:30 a.m., after seeing social media posts about the shooting. She saw a white car with the driver’s side window blown out, she said, and bullet holes in the windshield.

There was also a woman on her knees, screaming, Ms. Hayes said, alongside a young girl with a pink backpack who was being comforted by another child.“I heard agony,” Ms. Hayes said. “I heard a howl that came from your soul, that your whole life had just changed and it was never going to be the same.”
