The Elephantine Colossus was a tourist attraction located on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York City.
It was built in the shape of an elephant, an example of novelty architecture.
The seven story structure designed by James V. Lafferty stood above Surf Avenue and West 12th.

Almost like that meeting with Mamdani had no influence on any White House decision whatsoever
Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.
A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

I'm sure I've missed it. Surely a historian (or two or three) has published a good essay that looks at the resonances between resistance to slave catchers & fugitive slave laws & resistance to ICE today. Any suggestions?
