Icon Parking still lets ICE stage their assault of civil rights from Tribeca. Today we’re telling them we want ICE OUT

Long but has four critical points we all must understand: 1. America is an accelerating "dual state". Coined for fascist Germany, this is a state where some people live under increasingly restrictive laws that are applied arbitrarily while everyone else lives in our regular, rules-based society.

How do we boot #ICEout of NYC? Training, community, activism. Big thanks to Rachel Sarang Lee. She ran a fantastic training on our rights & how to deal with ICE when they pretend their gun means more than your civil liberties. Thanks @handsoffnyc.bsky.social for the materials, they give it free!

Went to kick #iceout of lower Manhattan. ICE needs parking in NYC. Stopping garage owners from allowing ICE vehicles means ICE loses time, money and logistical support for their fascist activities. Swipe to find out how you can help keep NYC ICE free

Fantastic movie. 100% worth seeing on the big screen. Absolutely gorgeous art. Everything Avatar fans want to see with very minor exceptions. The Avatar movie deserved a theatrical release. @paramountplus f*cking sucks #atla #avatarmovie #avatar

Covidtest.gov now goes to a White House page pushing the disproven conspiracy that: 1. China created COVID 2. There was a government coverup 3. Fauci is a criminal This is a dangerous action from an unhinged administration.

6 years ago I was organizing in the Bronx to help people understand how being involved can make a difference. I'd say it worked, but there's always more to do! AOC had come to one of the Real Politics 101 workshops, it was wonderful to have her create organizing spaces to host more events like that

People complaining about the city spending money to reopen after a blizzard have it wrong. The economic output created by reopening New York within a day is in the billions. Usually, this place is hobbled by snow for a week. Not this time, and that benefits everyone.

From Albany this morning to the West Village tonight. This is the Community Precinct Council (CPC). It’s a forum for the public to engage with police. Tonight the Special Narcotics Prosecutor, Bridget Brennan is answering questions. Happily, fentanyl coming into NYC is down 🔥

A succesful trip to Albany, it was great riding with PSC CUNY. Education, childcare, transportation, healthcare, there are so many things that are daily necessities that feel like luxuries. If a billionaire can spend $44.6M on a dinosaur skeleton (true story) they can afford a to give back a little

Headed to Albany to Tax The Rich. Trump gave people making $1M+ a $12B cut as has illegally slashed funding to NY projects. We’re fighting to make sure the most fortunate pay their fair share and everyone in New York has a life with opportunity and dignity. @ourtimeforfornyc @psc_cuny

Today the Trump administration removed the pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument. In ways large and small this government is bending over backward to hide the people of this country that it dislikes in our nation's story. 1/2

Off to Syracuse for the Democratic State Convention. State Committee Members like myself are elected to represent Democratic Primary voters at events like these. This Friday we’ll be voting whether to “designate” candidates for Gov, Lt. Gov, Attorney General and Comptroller. 🧵

The ICE protest at Foley Square today was incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many people there.

Resistance is not meaningless, but it must persist. They will replace him with someone just as bad, but the fact that they had to replace him says something about the pressure Trump is under.

. @politico.com doing the critical work of proving Republicans are actual Nazis. How did Hitler lovers get drawn into and take control of the Young Republicans? By the leaders of the modern Republican Party.

Disgusting and terrifying that Trump is trying to turn public institutions into his campaign tools. This is extremely illegal. Especially (but not limited to) demonizing the opposition party by name. Completely un-American. Impeachable in normal world.

As I understand the Dallas ICE shooting: * Detainees shot * ICE agents/law enforcement NOT shot * Bullets found that said "Anti-ICE" on them Ted Cruz made a speech demanding people stop demonizing ICE. Again, no ICE agents were harmed.

We need to talk about ICE and our elections. An army of gun-carrying agents the power to detain without a warrant can now be deployed at every polling location in this country. Anyone who cares about democracy, needs to plan NOW for what enhanced voter protection looks.

Ben Yee for State Assembly, AD 66 @yben.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

ICE is now the 16th largest militarized force on earth with a $37.5B budget. The FBI got $10B. Directly serves President: ICE ✅ FBI ❌ Can detain w/o warrant ICE ✅ FBI ❌ Highly militarized ICE ✅ FBI ❌ This is not about law enforcement — it's a war on communities Trump targets

In 2017, Trump dismissed Preet Bharara as Federal Prosecutor while investigating Andrew Cuomo for corruption. The investigation stopped there. Can Trump have the US attorney revive it? Or pressure Cuomo with scrutiny or pardons for him & already convicted allies? (1/2)
