This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

Two ICE killings, less than one week apart. Justice and accountability now.
A two-panel graphic presenting information about two separate incidents involving ICE agents.

The top panel shows an image with an overlaid yellow banner reading "July 7, 2026" and text that reads: "ICE agent kills Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Houston father who had lived in the U.S. for 35 years. ICE admits he was not their intended target."

The bottom panel shows an image with an overlaid yellow banner reading "July 13, 2026" and text that reads: "ICE agent kills Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old father legally in the U.S. ICE admits he was not their intended target."

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.
