The day after the Chinatown raid, New York AG Tish James launches an online portal for the public to submit photos and videos of ICE activity.

"We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law," she writes.

Attorney General James Launches Portal to Collect Photos and Videos of ICE Activity in New York

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James is encouraging New Yorkers to submit videos or other documentation of federal immigration enforcement actions in New York following yesterday’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on Canal Street in New York City.

“Every New Yorker has the right to live without fear or intimidation,” said Attorney General James. “If you witnessed and documented ICE activity yesterday, I urge you to share that footage with my office. We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law. No one should be subject to unlawful questioning, detention, or intimidation.”

Attorney General James is asking New Yorkers to share photos or videos of federal government actions using the Office of the Attorney General’s new online portal.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

What keeps New Yorkers up at night are not the right-wing fever dreams of Andrew Cuomo.

It's whether or not they can keep living in the city they love.

I'm the only candidate on stage tonight with a vision for the future and a plan to bring down costs.

If you want a Mayor who tells you everything that he can't do, Andrew Cuomo should be your choice.

But if you want a Mayor who will use every tool at their disposal to lower the cost of living, I am the candidate for you.

Tonight, in the final debate of his decades in power or desperately pursuing it, you will hear from Andrew Cuomo the same arrogance, the same entitlement, the same excuses for a broken status quo he's long maintained.

New Yorkers are ready for change.

It would cost roughly $700 million to make the nation's slowest buses fast and free.

And it would generate more than double that in economic benefits for our city.

Corruption goes courtside.

A screenshot of a post on X from Andrew Cuomo showing him sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden next to Mayor Eric Adams.

The tweet says: "No better way to celebrate winning tonight's debate than making it to the @nyknicks game in time for the 2nd half."

OH WOW HE ATE THAT UP!! Go Mamdani go!

As a fellow survivor tracking the story of these women who've been harassed and silenced, its SO moving to have a male leader speak up so strongly for these women and use his privilege. That's how you ally right there.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 4d

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Interview w our @chosenfamilylaw.bsky.social Sr Legal Director @andyeyeballs.bsky.social on what's going on w X gender markers and international travel. In short, having an X gender marker on your passport will make international travel more difficult, in ways still unclear, but very intentional.

I was interviewed for this Guardian piece about the new passport gender markers policy www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's probably too much to hope for that the @nytimes.com team will do any self-reflection on this. But please know that with this coverage you are looking at people's lives burning in a fire that you helped start, and writing a contemplative article about how interesting it is that there's a fire.

What responsibility does the Paper of Record, which has been consistently holding up the opinions of people who think that trans people should just stop being trans, take for this? What responsibility do you as a contributor take?

How did the United States become a place where the people at the highest levels of government could promulgate a policy that trans people should just stop being trans if they want to be able to travel, and most of the people living in the country would shrug?

I know that a contributor doesn't have a lot more control over what ends up in the published piece than I do as a person being interviewed. But I really urge you to think about how we got here.

You can read the open letter signed by many of your colleagues in 2023 here, since which time the Times has continued to pour editorial resources into uncritically parroting the talking points of right wing think tanks whose explicit goal is the eradication of "transgenderism." nytletter.com
