Thank you AG Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social for always fighting for justice & equality, for faithfully modeling fearlessness & for “fiercely” protecting New Yorkers. It’s been an honor to vote for you as both Public Advocate & AG. Looking forward to voting for you again. Keeping you in 🙏🏽

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 4d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities

"Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US"

"The church cannot be silent"

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

Starting salary for ICE (Hired J6 thugs, PB’s etc.) $100,000 with a $50,000 sign on bonus.

That’s our money paying for government sanctioned abductions, kidnappings, imprisonment & forced servitude with 0 Due Process

This is wrong & we all know it!

Our Military must act.

Start taking down ICE.

Rest in Power Miss Major.

I was so fortunate to profile Miss Major for SF Weekly.

From her political education from the leaders of the Attica prison uprising and getting knocked out by a cop at Stonewall to performing in the Jewel Box Revue and founding TGIJP, she led an extraordinary life.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president
