BREAKING: We’re demanding all communications between DHS and Meta that may relate to the removal, suspension, and restriction of the No Kings account.
The public deserves transparency.
We're opening an investigation into this censorship.
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Camera networks run by Flock, Axon, and others make it cheap and easy for investigators to link reporters to their sources or for authorities to harass journalists.
That’s why FPF is proud to endorse the Get the Flock Out of Our Communities Act.

28 years ago we lost #MatthewShepard to a senseless act of hate. Today we remember Matt by proudly supporting the Matthew Shepard Foundation in its mission to replace hate with understanding, compassion, and acceptance. Share this image & help keep Matthew's memory alive #RememberMatthew #NOH8

Mamdani: There is no explanation for these tactics. There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a five year old in the car. Look at how many people live right here. This is a residential neighborhood. We are right here by a subway.
And the pretext of ICE is, in their words, to keep this country safe. How is it keeping everyone safe to have, as you just heard from the police commissioner, individuals wearing construction vests in masks with long guns? Residents have no idea if these are law enforcement agents, or if they are simply attacking someone on the street. And when it comes to ICE, it begs the question, what's the difference? There is no explanation for this.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Domestic violence affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men in their lifetime.
Beyond the immediate personal impact, violence affects workplaces, families, and entire communities.

Happening now at a federal court in New York: a hearing in our lawsuit against President Trump.
FPF, @TheIntercept sued Trump and aides Natalie Harp and Dan Scavino over a scheme to sell early access to his Truth Social posts for up to $100,000 a month.
Here’s what’s at stake👇
No notes, Papa! 🥊 💥
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Amazing clarity and message here. You can be a progressive Muslim, stand up for Palestinians, and unequivocally stand against antisemitism.
The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.
Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.
Our safety and our thriving are tied together.
