🚨 ALERT 🚨 Multnomah County DA Nathan Vasquez bypassed the grand jury and cleared a deputy in a fatal police shooting—with no public testimony, no transcript, and no accountability. Just a memo, a video, and a statement. That’s not justice. That's not transparency. And we won't be silent about it! 🧵

"Mamdani has secrets too: like that a city can uplift its own people instead of functioning as a hub for a wealthy criminals tied to foreign states. Rich New Yorkers are panicking because that was never a secret. It only felt like one because hardly anyone powerful said it out loud." Insightful.

Well, the police unions got what they paid for out of DA Vasquez. All of a two weeks’ worth of an investigation into the shooting of man who appears to have ultimately been shot while running away. Nothing to see here, folks.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Q: So I wonder what you think about that, about the phrase “globalize the intifada” and what we've seen as some anti-semitism coming from the left-wing protesters.

A: The first thing as you were saying is anti-semitism is a real issue in our city and it's one that can be captured in statistics, the ones that you're citing. It's also one that you will feel in conversations you have with Jewish New Yorkers across the city. And I remember one conversation I had with a friend of mine after the horrific war crime of October 7th. He was telling me that he went for Shabbat services at his temple and he was facing forward when he heard the door open. And he turned back with a chill going up his spine because he didn't know who was coming in. And that's more than a year ago.

And then just a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a Jewish man in Williamsburg who told me that the same door he would keep unlocked for decades is one that he now locks out of a fear of what could happen in his own neighborhood. And I think that this is something that has to be the focus of the next mayoral administration, is not just talking about it, but tackling it. And these are the conversations that have informed our commitment around increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800% in our Department of Community Safety.

To the question of language that's being used. I am someone who I would say am less comfortable with the idea of banning the use of certain words and that I think it is more evocative of a Trump style approach to how to lead a country. And-

Q: Does that just make you uncomfortable? Like the phrase globalizing intifada. And like the phrase from the river to the sea, does that make you uncomfortable? Or do you think-

A: Okay, those are different. Those are super different.

Q: They're not really.

A: Those are like different genres.

Q: I'm sorry, I'm asking so wrong. Then they're not really different to me. And to some people they are not different.

A: I know people for whom those things mean very different things. And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights. And I think what's difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw ghetto uprising into Arabic because it's a word that means struggle. And as a Muslim man who grew up post-911, I'm all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning. And I think that's where it leaves me with a sense that what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe. And the question of the permissibility of language is something that I haven't ventured.

Homeland Security themselves is claiming that Padilla didn't identify himself too. So dangerous for reporters and anchors to just believe them at their word when clear video shows otherwise.

A Tweet from Homeland Security (@ DHS gov) that says "Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.

Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands. @SecretService
thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.

Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting."

This is what Homeland Security had to say about shoving a sitting Senator out of the room before he could question Secretary Noem. This is revisionist, and both this action and the retelling of what happened are straight out of the fascist playbook.

Tweet from Homeland Security (a repost of the video of Senator Padilla being pushed out of the press conference) that reads "Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.

Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands. @SecretService
thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.

Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting."

This is a retweet of a post by Mayor Karen Bass (@ Mayor of LA) that included the video. The text says "What just happened to @ Sen Alex Padilla is absolutely abhorrent and outrageous. He is a sitting United States Senator."

Homeland Security's statement on what just happened to Sen. Padilla is straight up denial of fact. Acording to them, he "interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself". In the video he says in the first few seconds "I'm Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the Secretary."
