Statement on the Death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo at Delaney Hall:

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

A poem For Calling the Spirit Back from Wandering the Earth in Its Human Feet by Joy Harjo Put down that bag of potato chips, that white bread, that bottle of pop. Turn off that cellphone, computer, and remote control. Open the door, then close it behind you. (Continued )

I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two - And see what worms are eating At the rind. Tired, by Langston Hughes

The sense of fear is absolutely palpable.

ICE is beginning to outfit Haitian immigrants with ankle monitors after the Trump admin ended their deportation protections www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Haitian TPS holders—friends and neighbors, caregivers and farmworkers —are being forced to report to ICE and to wear ankle monitors so that they can be deported to a dangerous and unstable country. Imagine the terror and insecurity. Please help if you can: ancljkuy.donorsupport.co/page/FUNDVDT...

A 39-year-old El Salvadoran man, who was being held at Delaney Hall, has died, the man's family says. He's the father of a 12-year-old US citizen daughter and has lived in the country for nearly 20 years. www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/08/03/s...

I follow a lot of politics on BlueSky. I and people I love have politicized identities, so being apolitical is not an option. But I also love it for art. It’s where I first saw Ulla Thynell’s art and fell in love with it. And for pics of animals, nature. Mutual aid. Spiritual discussions. ❤️

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Anti-ICE advocates rallied outside the DHS office near Cincinnati after Haitians losing TPS were summoned for mandatory check-ins. Protesters report officials are fitting people with ankle monitors and issuing new court dates. Community members stand united against these aggressive tactics!

We didn’t ask you to release a diary. We demanded you release the Epstein files. We even passed a law.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.

Dr. Fauci is a hero and he deserves this nation’s gratitude, not the slander and threats coming from the Trump administration and their rabid fan club.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The dude yelling at ICE thugs is right! They have no warrant. These goons are nothing more than kidnappers. I don't know who this guy is but I applaud him. Shame them all. Thank you for speaking out, defending your neighbors. And we will come after every one of them when we regain power! Hell yeah!

Masked ICE thug just casually shooting pepper spray at a few old ladies standing peacefully on the sidewalk filming them in uptown Manhattan today. Just because these monsters are quieter now doesn’t mean they’re not still out there violating people.

As of this week, hundreds of thousands of Haitians lost their legal status. Most have lost work permits as well. That's left many people unable to support themselves. Here is a verified link to a fundraiser supporting Haitians in Springfield. Please drop links to other fundraisers in the replies.

The SAVE act is therefore dead.

Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · last wk.

NEW: U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is not willing to nix the Senate filibuster to pass Trump’s SAVE America Act. Thune addressed Trump’s most recent demand, saying he has long been a supporter of the bill, but does not see a path forward without the votes needed to pass it.

This is horrifying. Their 14 month old daughter was found crying over their bodies. Asylum is a human right. This is what happens when it’s destroyed.

If you’re considering whether terms like ethnic cleansing or pogrom might be applicable to impending government action, there could be a problem.

some things are out of bounds for a liberal democracy: such things including plots to remigrate the immigrant population

This makes me want to throw up. What the federal government is doing to our Haitian immigrant neighbors is devastating and evil.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

Musk calls for the assassination of a reporter who embarrassed him with basic questions

Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · last wk.

There is simply no ambiguity in what Elon Musk is arguing and endorsing here.

Trump is directing ICE to target Haitian immigrants. Does anyone know of a good mutual aid community supporting Haitian immigrants with things like grocery delivery or assistance paying rent for people afraid to go to work?
