Any Democrat suggesting that there is any political mission other than bringing all elected Republicans to justice for their participation in an insurrectionist hate group needs to be booed and hissed without cease until they can be fired at the next available opportunity

Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

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.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

A judge gave ICE a deadline to make its enforcement lawful in 3 weeks. Respect to the judicial process, but anyone in Marble Hill last night knows that's a delusion. Trump's rogue agency lies—over and over—to hide their unlawful, dangerous incompetence.

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.

I mean, quite aside from the barbarism of live-streaming this, I actually can't think of anything more stupid from a counterterrorism perspective. Showing this online - where it will likely be replayed for many years - has no deterrent value and would be useful only as anti-US recruitment tool.

Death of a handyman: ICE cited “convictions for driving with expired vehicle registration” and an unspecified judgment against him in favor of the Maryland comptroller. The 47-year-old Curo-Churata "had volunteered to leave the country on his own, but a judge denied the request."

New Yorkers: Do you have a form of immigration relief called withholding of removal? Have you received an ICE letter summoning you to 26 Federal Plaza? Here’s what  you can do:

1. Call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365, or call 311 and say "Immigration Legal" for free, confidential help in your native language.

2. Fill out our intake form to get help from the Rapid Response Legal Collaborative: nyc.gov/RRLC

3. Make a plan. Make sure you have an emergency contact and that someone you trust has your A-number. Talk to a lawyer before making any decisions.

Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.
