Anyways, I’d really like for things to not get harder with these shut off. This is how I have to keep my family afloat. No family , no back up and I’m unable to work while waiting for disability which has been REALLY fucking hard to get on. I’m stuck and without help here we lose everything.

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).

As someone whose friends were beheaded by ISIS, the comparisons between Nidal Hasan's public execution and ISIS propaganda are strange and unsettling to see. Many are on point, but the deeper implications of those parallels (and divergences) are much more disturbing than most of you recognize. 1/3

Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass, and I’m... probably looking for a field mouse. 🪶🦉🦅 #OhMyDouglas
A juvenile Red-tailed Hawk strides purposefully across a vibrant green lawn, looking directly at the camera with an intense, funny expression. Captured mid-stride with its legs wide apart, its heavily feathered thighs resemble poofy, spotted pants or trousers. The hawk’s white chest features a distinctive "belly band" of brown streaks, and its mottled brown and white wings are tucked tightly against its body. The bright sunlight accentuates its fierce yellow eyes, sharp beak, and yellow talons, contrasting sharply with the soft, out-of-focus grassy background.

Two things going on with these checks: Maybe the most obvious & a point so many people I talked to made is, of course: the timing of the checks, specifically their proximity to the upcoming midterms. And in the case of the $90 Medicare Improvement Fund checks ... the legality of them.

Black text on white page that states:

When New Yorkers get ripped off, they should have the power to fight back.

We’re introducing the POWER Act to give workers, tenants, consumers, small businesses and nonprofits a legal pathway to take on unfair and deceptive business practices.

A tenant shouldn’t have to watch a landlord wrongfully withhold their security deposit. A consumer shouldn’t have to accept predatory loan terms. And New Yorkers shouldn’t have to rely on government alone to hold powerful corporations accountable.

We’re putting power back where it belongs: in the hands of New Yorkers.
