partial screenshot THE CITY “…some tried by the same prosecutors who handled the Weberman case - that resulted in comparable or even longer prison terms. She noted that in 2013, the same year Weberman was sentenced, a non-Jewish defendant who assaulted a 4-year-old Hasidic girl received a 32-year term. That directly undercuts supporters' long-circulated claims that Weberman was treated unfairly because of his religion, Townsend argued. The filing also accuses Weberman's supporters of deceiving at least one prominent rabbi into signing clemency letters to Gov. Kathy Hochul. The defense team then re-submitted that letter to the court even after Rabbi Hershel Schachter, a leading Modern Orthodox religious authority at Yeshiva University, stated he was misled into believing Weberman had been sentenced more harshly "simply for being Jewish," according to filing by Townsend. Schachter has posted a video online saying that once he learned those claims were unfounded, he retracted his support and told Weberman's attorney not to use hia nome again”

Statement: Council Member Won's Statement on the Case of Fei and Yuanxin Our office first came in contact with Fei and his 6-year-old son, Yuanxin, for a constituent services case in late August. We promptly directed them to free legal immigration services. Unfortunately, they were arrested and released with legal representation. Most recently, they were rearrested at 26 Federal Plaza. Authorities are fully aware of the whereabouts of Yuanxin. He is safe and has full legal representation. We have been in contact with New York City Public Schools as well as the offices of Senator Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez and verified that both father and son have legal representation. Due to the sensitivity of this case, we cannot disclose additional information but will continue to follow up with relevant agencies and representatives. But this is not a standalone incident. New York City is a sanctuary city and must remain safe for all of our families. As a mother, I condemn the separation of families, especially minors as young as 6 years old. President Trump and federal representatives must pass comprehensive immigration reform, and New York State must pass New York for All. JULIE WON COUNCIL MEMBER Dec. 3, 2025

Thanksgiving at the White House www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Guardian newspaper screenshot Donald Trump has said he will "permanently pause migration from all third world countries" a day after two national guard members were shot in Washington DC in an attack that has become a political flashpoint in the president's ongoing crackdown on immigration. In a social media post beginning with "a very happy Thanksgiving", ', sent after 11pm on Thursday, the US president said his administration would "end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens" and remove "anyone who is not a net asset to the United States". It is not clear how the president would enact such a "pause" in migration. Previous bans issued by his administration have faced challenges in the courts and in Congress.

Even to say "it makes us look bad" implies that you've got the point of view of the outsider-the American, whoever it is-looking at you. I don't do that. I make films first and foremost about what gets under my skin and doesn't let me go. And my skin, it was always about actually my own people. [You prioritize your own gaze.] Exactly. And my emotions. And my poli-tics. I never was here to become a part of an A list that was heading to Hollywood. I'm here to do what I want to do as an artist.

Say goodbye to California produce. That’s an awful lot of truckers to take off the road (and if they’re on the road, society at large wants them to be licensed so 🤦🏻 to this whole thing)
Screenshot paragraphs of news article: Under the new rules, only 10,000 of the 200,000 noncitizens who have commercial licenses would qualify for them, which would only be available to drivers who have an H-2a, H-2b or E-2 visa. H-2a is for temporary agricultural workers while H-2b is for temporary nonagricultural workers, and E-2 is for people who make substantial investments in a U.S. business. But the rules won't be enforced retroactively, so those 190,000 drivers will be allowed to keep their commercial licenses at least until they come up for renewal. Those new requirements were not in place at the time the 17,000 California licenses were issued. But those drivers were given notices that their licenses will expire in 60 days.

We get Lina Khan!

Mamdani & his transition team in Qns. (I have never been this excited about city government.)
NYT screenshot: LIVE Watch Live: Mamdani Speaks After N.Y.C. Mayoral Victory “Speaking at his first news conference as mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani announced his transition team. Its leader: Elana Leopold, a de Blasio administration alumna. The co-chairs will be Lina Khan, the progressive former Federal Trade Commission chair, and Maria Torres-Springer, a former first deputy mayor. The transition will be advised by Melanie Hartzog, a former deputy mayor for health and human services, and Grace Bonilla, the head of United Way of New York City. Mamdani has stressed that he will try to build an administration that is built around expertise, not ideological purity. His transition picks appear to be in line with that commitment, including seasoned government hands as well as progressive policy experts. Torres-Springer was first deputy mayor to the city's outgoing mayor, Eric Adams. All the named members are women.”

Is it so wrong that I’m tempted to frame a copy of this as folk art?
Unhinged cover of NY Post Nov 5 2025 depicting mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in red with a hammer and sickle hoisted high in victory. The punning headline reads “On your Marx, get set, Zo! Socialist Mamdani wins race for mayor” $2.00

No more billionaire’s capricious money mucking around please 🙄
“The candidate knew the former mayor had the unique stature and fortune to influence the general election. Mr. Mamdani needed to sideline him. The campaign struggled to get a meeting, but when the two finally met at Bloomberg's Midtown headquarters this fall, they spent a convivial hour debating management styles and looking at old photos of Mr. Bloomberg's time in City Hall. Mr. Bloomberg had privately told associates over the summer he was done with Mr. Cuomo after spending more than $8 million to back him in the primary. Mr. Mamdani left the meeting thinking he had done enough to keep it that way. He was wrong. Angry over Mr. Mamdani's comments on Israel and worried about his inexperience, Mr. Bloomberg ultimately sent $5 million to two super PACs attacking Mr. Mamdani and re-upped his endorsement of Mr. Cuomo — but did so only six days before Election Day. By then it was too late.” from https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/nyregion/how-zohran-mamdani-won-nyc-mayor.html

The Hatch Act of 1939, “An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities,” is a federal statute that creates a wall between politics and public service. It prohibits millions of government employees from engaging in partisan political activities while on the job.
😒
HATCH ACT OVERVIEW The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law's purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation. text from https://osc.gov/Services/Pages/HatchAct.aspx
