Donald Trump has unilaterally decided that one of America's largest media companies must be sold to one of his cronies. Here's why America has a liberal media bias problem.

Pretty ironic that Malliotakis’ staff left early to avoid her constituent carolers singing “oh come hold a town hall, don’t be afraid”

We will keep showing up to HO HO HOLD her accountable 🎄😇

Rise and Resist was outside the Financial Times' Innovative Law Firms Awards gala, protesting the 9 firms that capitulated to Trump. At least 6 of the capitulating firms (Paul/Weiss, Kirkland & Ellis, Skadden/Arps, Latham & Watkins, Willkie Farr and A&O Shearman) were shortlisted for awards.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani explains immigrants' right to refuse to comply with I.C.E. agents days after federal agents carried out a raid in Manhattan

In the video, Mamdani vowed to protect the city's 3 million immigrants, saying, “We can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights.”

It is fascinating how shallow liberal opposition has been since Trump came to power. They are either blind or incapable of understanding why Trump got vote of majority! They would much rather blame the majority as being intellectually and morally inferior!

The immediate and overwhelming community response that thwarted an ICE raid yesterday will be commonplace in NYC.

At HandsOffNYC.com we’re ensuring it by preparing New Yorkers borough by borough—block by block—on how to nonviolently respond to the unwarranted and unlawful terror ICE imposes on us.
After protestors block ICE in Chinatown, NYC immigrant advocates pledge more resistance
They also called on the NYPD to drop charges against people after clashes with officers.

As we recreated the nativity scene, we held signs such as "MARY AND JOSEPH WERE REFUGEES". Tourist traffic on 5th Ave was busy with Christmas shoppers.

The "New York Times Dealbook" event highlighted, and normalized some of the worst players of the Trump regime:
Ben Shapiro, David Ellison, Brian Armstrong, Alex Karp, Scott Bessent.

Rise and Resist showed up to confront the event, and the people thanked them!

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.
