Roxbury residents protest outside the town hall after ICE bought a warehouse complex in the district to convert those facilities into detention centers, in spite of opposition from locals and the township itself. The community does not want a prison in its area.

Protesters got a ton of love from traffic passing by, honking in support at homemade signs brought by people in the community.

There's even another study that was done in addition to McCarthy's that concludes that non-white voters *were* able to rank more candidates than white voters when those candidates, specifically when candidates that matched those identities were running for office. reason.com/2024/01/16/d...

The study Annie links to makes the conclusion that the depressed turnout among minorities could just as much be attributed to voter information about 'not only ranking one candidate' and ethnic polarization. That's not disenfranchisement. electionconfidence.org/wp-content/u...

I don't think I've met anyone who seriously believes that ranked choice voting is actually more complicated than 'normal' voting. It's literally a list of who you like from most to least.

NYPD Officers will order protesters to get on the sidewalk, and then instigate by grabbing a person who was standing on the sidewalk and arresting them.

Today, two NY congressmen tried to investigate an ICE Facility. While they were let inside the facility, they waited in the lobby for over an hour and were denied entry to the upper floors of the building.

Yesterday night, those same younger pro Israel protesters were wearing and carrying Jewish Defense League symbols. The JDL is considered by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the FBI a right wing terrorist group, and even the biased ADL considers them a racist and violent group

The context is that this was happening at the tail end of a real estate protest where a Synagogue was hosting an illegal real estate auction exclusively to Zionist Jews where they were selling stolen Palestinian land

#NYC Yesterday, far right pro Israel extremists split from a real estate protest and started a fight with two lone pro Palestine activists. After one of them was arrested, the person whose bike was stolen was also arrested after the group lied saying he punched someone.

Not only are more centrist types trying to brand it as an "echo chamber", but conservatives are already getting pissed and painting the platform as a woke space because it moderates their bullshit from the get-go
Screenshot of an account called 'LibsofBluesky' with 103.9k followers with  a bio description saying "The left are flocking to their safe space, Bluesky"Popular right wing X account "End Wokeness" complains that he's been banned from BlueSky after trying to make a post saying "There are only two genders"

Josh Gottheimer is running for governor of New Jersey. To give an idea of what he's going to do with this power, right now he's helping Trump and Republicans ram through a bill that will destroy non profit and specifically target Pro Palestinian organizations
Here is the full list of Democrats who voted to support the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act: One of the bullet points listing out the Democrats is Josh Gottheimer

#NYC Drag Story Hour Defense is happening at the Queens Public Library in Jackson Heights. Lots of supporters defending the library with Umbrellas and noisemakers to drown out the five trump supporters who have shown up to harass people attending the story hour
