“Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked. “I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”
NEW: In a Texas courtroom Monday, 25 migrant children lined the pews — a 9yo rested her head on the table, a 6yo pretended to fly an airplane, and a 3yo played with the mic. Many in attendance didn't have an attorney — and a 13yo was ordered removed. A look inside, thru sketches.

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to @NYJTL, @usta and @yonex_tennis for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

your government just said you don't have a right to clean water, clean water is only for those who can afford it
A US federal court just ruled that clean water isn't a human right in the Constitution. Residents in Jackson, Mississippi tried suing the government over lead-contaminated water, but the suit has been dismissed due to this ruling.

the fact that this is even needed? what the fuck is going on. for the past decade the general public has been hell-bent on exposing the ‘secret pedo rings of hollywood’ or the ‘secret pedo rings of the media’ and now that we have ACTUAL evidence of pedophilia and sex crimes committed by some of the richest and most powerful people in the world… it’s crickets? it has to be VOTED on to be pursued? it requires an AD CAMPAIGN? release the damn files and arrest the people necessary already, i feel like we’re all living in hell.
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein come together for a video calling on Congress to release the Epstein files. (cnn.com/politics/live-news/t…)

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

Guy who thinks history is being destroyed when general lee statue #4963 is removed from a town square but also thinks the entire east wing of the White House is just a building
It's gone. The entire East Wing of the White House is gone.

“The issues are simple, and the people are complicated,” says Jared Kushner. Kushner and Steve Witkoff, two businessmen who came up through the world of New York real estate, tell Lesley Stahl their unconventional approach to diplomacy. They helped broker the Israel-Gaza ceasefire and hostage exchange. cbsn.ws/3Wg4JAb

If they placed a chair for every Palestinian killed in Gaza by Israel, the memorial would stretch from New York to Philadelphia.
1,200 chairs were placed on Columbia University’s lawn in memory of the 1,200 victims of October 7.

This is what fascism looks like
ICE arrested Chicago Alderman Jessie Fuentes inside a hospital emergency room—simply for asking them to show a warrant for a man they detained.

Stephanie and Najia started "Deafies for Zohran" to make this movement accessible to their community. They even created a signature hand sign for “Zohran.” Sign up for a shift and wave 👋🏻 the next time you’re canvassing in Jackson Heights!

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Ben & Jerry’s is the only major company I know of that has repeatedly lobbied for Black American Reparations. Two older men with access who have no incentive other than justice, are now being punished and silenced for their unwavering support of Palestine. I’m not heartbroken, im galvanized. We continue to fight the good fight ✊🏾
After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

This is probably going to go unreported but this might be the most shocking thing any talking head has ever said on television. He straight up just said we should murder all homeless people.
A Fox News anchor saying "Or involuntary lethal injection or something just kill them" about people living on the streets live on air. This and the dehumanization that comes from this - is what political violence looks like.
