“Is anyone unclear that we are talking about racism? Unless and until folks who have privilege are willing to cede that privilege we will be having this same conversation about mass incarceration for generations” @bm_mansamusa @MassBailOut Teach-In #MassBailOut

A Harlem man died Sunday waiting to be arraigned on a low-level charge for allegedly stealing incense from CVS. Vincent Thoms “spent his final moments languishing in a jail cell,” Legal Aid said in a statement calling on city leaders to meaningfully address in-custody NYPD deaths

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Here is what women inside Bedford Hills Correctional Facility — NY's largest women's prison — are reporting right now. Three people have died in four weeks. Two by suicide. @GovKathyHochul @NYSDOCCS must act. ⬇️ #Justice4BedfordHills → CTA: nhli.me/Justice4Bedford

Truly, truly why does NYC still have a special narcotis prosecutor? Everytime she appears to give testimony to city council I want to shout - save 25.8 million and ABOLISH THIS RELIC.

See you at noon!

“The opposite of hope is desperation, and it’s dangerous for this population to feel desperate.” John J. Lennon writes from Sing Sing about how New York could ease the chaos in the prison system. nysfocus.com/2026/03/03/new…

Watching city council committee to combat hate and for me- the issue with using cops to "keep people safe" is that NYPD DOESN'T KEEP PEOPLE SAFE + Giving NYPD ability to set up camp outside mosques which they SURVEILLED for decades is also just outrageous. More policing ≠ safety

BREAKING: In response to the brutal NYPD shooting of their son and brother, 22-year-old Jabez Chakraborty on Monday, January 26th, the Chakraborty family issued the following statement: We are shocked and outraged by the NYPD’s treatment of our son and brother, Jabez Chakraborty, and our family. We called for help. We called 911 for an ambulance to provide medical attention for our son, who was in emotional distress. We did not call the police. Instead of medical responders, the NYPD arrived and shot our son multiple times right in front of us. As our son was being shot, we were terrified that what happened to Win Rozario was going to happen to Jabez.

BODY CAMERAS DON’T FIX ARMED GOON SQUADS OF THE FASCIST STATE. #AbolishICE

Democrats caved and gave temporary 2 weeks of funding to ICE. Shame SHAME. How many more people will be terrorized, kidnapped, KILLED in 2 weeks. STOP “tinkering with the machinery of death” and SHUT IT DOWN. #AbolishICE

Another murder by ICE. 10 shots. Voting to fund them is a war crime in itself. It’s madness. We have no opposition party. It’s sick. Every single elected democratic from local to feds should be doing everything in their power to defund and block ICE from everywhere. #AbolishICE

So happy to be with my family, and my new Senator, Leader @AndreaSCousins along with @ShelleyBMayer and my new assembly member @LegMJShimsky at the Hastings rally to #AbolishICE

ICE OUT OF NY.

I’m David Orkin. I’m an immigrant workers’ rights attorney, UAW union organizer, and democratic socialist. Today, I’m announcing my campaign to represent the working people of New York State Assembly District 38 in Ridgewood, Glendale, Woodhaven, and Ozone Park.

Doctor: "Can I go check her pulse?" ICE: "No! Back off! Now!" Doctor: "I'm a physician." ICE: "I don't care."

I’m not crying you’re crying.

Pass the #SecondLookAct! So inspired by all panelists and community members present at this #CommunitiesNotCages event in Yonkers and ending with @TheRealLatriceW speaking the straight truth that safety doesn’t need to come at the expense of civil liberties and second chances.

The horrid jail on a boat was towed away for scrap metal, dick Cheney is dead and now we get Mayor Mamdani. What incredible times, these. Let’s goooooo!
