We're launching a portal to review federal immigration enforcement in New York after yesterday’s ICE raid on Canal Street.

New Yorkers who were present should submit videos or photos, and we will review and investigate any violations of the law.

While I'm at it, preorder TO CATCH A FASCIST & shout at a nazi near you.

Today I yelled at a fucking Nazi who made a joke about deportation in the middle of 42nd St. Fuck that guy. He can go back to where he came from (Metro North, probably).
NYC’s strength is in our density, in our pedestrians. In being able to witness from above and below. Being able to come together by the hundreds in seconds, because there are always hundreds of us, millions of us, in a few square miles.
Authoritarians can’t overcome local interaction & the power of the collective system.
These videos remind me of Neil Theise's NOTES ON COMPLEXITY. The spontaneous response from NYers to protect ourselves is how complex, living systems respond. We are individual parts & a unified whole. All interactions are local. Numbers matter.

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.
This is The People's House. Can we evict him? Seems like it might be in violation of his lease agreement.

So excited for the next major work by Daaji in the U.S. -- From Thinking to Feeling, how to get out of your head and a back in touch with your heart.

New: For @msnbc.com I wrote abt Trump’s absurd EO declaring antifa a “domestic terror org”

I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | Trump‘s new anti-antifa panic is the start of something much more dangerous
The president signed an executive order Monday declaring antifa a “domestic terrorist organization.”

They should remember him by reading out his actual words.
National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent.

Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it.
Tommy Tuberville is presiding — and smirking.

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.
It’s almost as if we should have been enforcing our antitrust laws for the last 25 years. Maybe then media conglomerates wouldn’t be violating our fundamental rights to appeal to a fragile, narcissistic autocrat.
Hapers letter signers, now is your moment!

Overall, this rapid media consolidation during this political and economic moment scares me easily as much as the administrations political theater other the military.

CNN: You know who we should have on to talk political violence? The PizzaGate dude who wrote a book praising Franco and Pinochet. Yea the guy who said “We don’t negotiate with unhumans" at NatCon, talking about progressives, calling it a fight between "civilization versus barbarism"

Posobiec - whose ties to white supremacists are legion - wrote a book last year called “Unhumans” in which he labeled half the country UNHUMAN

It is language designed to inspire political violence yet our cable news channels have made him a talking head about political violence
The number of Americans who have discovered names like Jack Posobiec and Nick Fuentes this past week without knowing what they actually stand for is pretty alarming

i think what is most annoying here is that the people who have covered this movement for the last decade have basically had to stare into the abyss - you gotta expose yourself to a *lot* of dumb and upsetting stuff. and now these ppl have to watch others kool-aid man into the discourse w/o context

I guess I should link to the video for posterity. Normalizing a guy like Jack Posobiec is a really dark place to be as a country.
