600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead. Quick summary by me:

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

@dog_rates THANK YOU for this. Brought tears to my eyes.

Larry the Cat bringing better theology than the ruling class of all of Christendom

The owner of this app cheering once again for racists, thugs, and neo-Nazis. Disgraceful and inexcusable.

@nhannahjones Amen.

In the weeks leading up to the most consequential election of my lifetime, there’s been a great deal of focus on Black men. But the group we should have been focusing on is white women — the nation’s largest electorate. White women are the only American women where the majority did not vote for Hillary Clinton. Had white women voted like the rest of women, women would still have their constitutional right to abortion and affirmative action would still be legal. Two of Trump’s own former generals have warned that he’s a fascist. Black women were credited with saving democracy in 2020, will white women step up and do the same in 2024? My latest essay revisits the fraught history of white women’s solidarity.

@RalstonReports You've got it backwards.

So embarrassed for a place I went to school. Breathtaking ignorance.

Wait. Macklemore just dropped Hind’s Hall.

The No. 1 pro-Israel online talking point - ‘Hamas agrees to release the hostages & the war ends tomorrow!’ - destroyed by a single quote from an Israeli official: "Israel will under no circumstances agree to end the war in a deal to release the hostages" haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Memo to media, Dems, universities: y'all are looking for the antisemites in the wrong places

It's very simple. You don't get to warn about the danger of fascism in November - which, as I have said for years, is very real! - without challenging, rather than colluding with, fascist tendencies *right now*

The very juxtaposition in this tweet falsely and nefariously implies that antisemitism and pro-Palestinian are synonymous, which is certainly how mainstream media has covered the anti-genocide, pro-divestment movement on U.S. campuses. #FreePalestine #CeasefireNOW #DivestFromIsrael @FAIRmediawatch

Morning y'all 💀💀💀💀

How are news outlets dedicating wall-to-wall coverage to campus protests, but not the discovery of mass graves in Gaza of people with their hands tied & clothing stripped? Why do we not know more? Where are the journalists and resources being dedicated to that story?

@n_th_n_ What "statements" is this WH flack referring to?

Faced with a protest movement that threatens core interests (Israel serving as a regional proxy state), Biden’s White House has fully embraced Trumpist post-truth politics. This isn’t “spin”—it’s a ludicrous fantasy known to be false, but where falsity doesn’t matter to impact.

@AOC We see you. Love and gratitude and solidarity ✊️

If you support how these folks voted, I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to let them know. They will be under relentless pressure and attack. It is important to show support - on the inside, it can often feel like there isn’t. Call, write, post. It makes a difference.
