This should be the lead story with a screaming headline on every news website: “Trump sides with Putin in Ukraine war.” “After a long, friendly chat during which Putin offered Trump a political lifeline, Trump called for Ukraine to surrender.”

Weird that Donald Trump's message is that people who are being assaulted can stop it all by giving up and submitting to the aggressor, so weird, so so weird

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

Four days before yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, Judge Gary Brown of EDNY (Trump apptee) listed 7 outrages in an ICE case before him, including evasive & apparently perjurious testimony, post-hoc sworn arrest warrant containing false info, woeful lack of training … 1/2
The evidence points to numerous failings on the part of both ICE and the officers
who testified, including:
1. evasive and apparently perjurious testimony by the ICE agents, including the
testimony concerning supposed observations of the petitioner engaging in drug
transactions, which bear all the hallmarks of coordinated fabrication,12 the absence of any recovered drugs, paraphernalia or cash from the petitioner,
the failure of the agents to follow up upon these supposed observations or refer
the matter to another law enforcement agency, and the notable absence of any
reference to these observations in the voluminous documentary records, further undermining the agents' testimony;
2. the seemingly reflexive, though false, claims that the petitioner was
"misidentified" as the target of the operation;
3. fundamental misconceptions about ICE agents authorities and duties;
4. illegality of the arrest and detention of petitioner and Concepcion;
5. the post-arrest documents, which not only were procedurally and legally
suspect, but contain false statements;Notably, in its filings, Government counsel has not referenced this testimony, seemingly abandoning any argument predicated upon these sworn assertions by the agents.

6. the database search process used to justify the administrative warrant, as
described by the ranking supervisory officer, which appears designed to generate misleading information in official records; and
7. the inexperience of the agents involved, their woeful lack of proper training, understanding of law, policies and procedures, and their ready recourse to false testimony to conceal these failings.

No reasonable law enforcement agency would ever fire a hail of bullets into a car that presents no safety threat … with a five-year-old in the backseat. We need an independent investigation. We need Oscar to be released from custody immediately. And we need ICE to get the hell out of our city.

Black text on white page that reads: 

For generations, Black faith leaders have been pillars of strength, service, and community across New York City.

This week, I welcomed faith leaders to City Hall for a conversation about the issues facing Black New Yorkers, from affordable housing and unemployment, to education and the uncertainties that Black immigrant communities are navigating.

Their leadership extends far beyond the walls of their congregations, and I look forward to continuing our work to build a city that serves every New Yorker.

Trump is openly siding with Putin, blaming Ukraine's self-defense rather than Russia's aggression for the war, and telling Ukraine to surrender. Worth calling it out every time. But hardly new. Ambushing Zelensky in DC, aping Russian propaganda, and insisting it's Ukraine's fault was March 2025.

Trump’s handling of Ukraine proves Russian propaganda is working

One day after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals came out against the Pentagon’s plan to livestream an execution, Pope Leo has published a tweet reiterating the Catholic Church’s opposition to the death penalty.

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption.
