New Yorkers want Mamdani to do more than fill pot holes. Will he do it? Unlike in the Netanyahu case, in this case the mayor should have the handles to oust #ICE and forbid the NYPD from aiding and abbeting them People are chanting "mamdani is complicit" before the way delayed mayoral speech.

I never understood why Americans elongate the wrong letters in an accentuated exclamation. Example: yessss! If you read it as written, you'd sound like a snake. Phonetically, it is really the e that gets elongated: yeeees! The rest of the world gets it. Maybe because most languages are phonetic?

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

Is your local law enforcement agency feeding data into LexisNexis's pipeline to ICE? The Portland Police, Sacramento Police, Orange County Sheriff's Department, and thousands more are. Register to get the information and tools you need to take action and protect your community. ⬇️

We need to abolish #ICE &, while at it, reform #police bc the lynching of George Floyd was not an incident. We've seen police departments all over the country collaborating w/ ICE, state officials doing nothing but lip-service at best. We need to vet out the bigots & extremists from law enforcement

And now it's NYC's turn to see the criminal playbook playing: #ICE investigates themselves #DHS portrays the victim as a horrible human being #Turd-Reich make things worse, probably sending more troops, military, aviation, robots, navy or national guards to keep fear brewing just like Ceausescu did

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Like politics, these ads are deceiving too. They seem to be free but are among the most expensive. the whole world is paying for them. They tell me to vote blue only if there is no other pro-peace (green, DSA or write-in) option on the ballot.

Nothing is zero Everything medical should be paid by taxes just like wars are But the cost would be zero at the point of service When it matters Because when a sick patient has to worry about costs & bills, has to fight the insurance for coverage or charges, that's not healthcare, that is torture

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.

ICE kidnapped a young man from his family in New Jersey. His young siblings shouted for help and clung to him; masked Nazi agents pushed them to the ground. They couldn’t stop the kidnapping. The youngest, a little girl, collapsed in distress. Repost if you hate ICE.

Your vote for state attorney general can shape how rights are protected and laws are enforced. Former D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine explains why these consequential state-level races deserve voters’ attention. Read the latest ACS Expert Forum: www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

I Ran an Attorney General's Office. Here's Why Your Vote Matters. | ACS
Attorneys general are the people's lawyers. Every state has one, and on November 3, voters in 30 states and the District of Columbia will choose theirs. Many of those voters will leave the attorney general line blank or vote a straight ticket without a second look. I am asking you to take that second look.
