They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Years and years ago in NYC I gave you a little pocket bible (“new prophecy edition” I think it was called) I found. I’m an atheist but I find scripture interesting too so wanted you to have it. Did you ever end up reading some?

Last night, yet another person died on Rikers Island — the fifth New Yorker to lose their life in City custody within the last two weeks and the 13th this year.

These deaths are a result of Eric Adams' failure to reckon with the crisis of violence and neglect in our jails.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
