If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

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.

There's news of a plague outbreak in Russia. Here's what we know and here's who in the White House is staffed to handle any U.S. related work on it (hint: it's RFK Jr. and a gutted CDC...) Russia is trying to cover up the media reports on the outbreak, which now has 200 people in quarantine.

Trump banned three outlets from the White House hours after Natalie Harp showed him MS NOW clips he didn't like. @timmiller.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social see a president who's rattled, not one who's in control. "This is a move of somebody that is frustrated and just totally flailing."

Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. Now they’re suing him, and the case landed before a judge Trump himself appointed. But Trump is still furious about which judge they got, for one very specific reason.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.
