And definitely leave your high-end furniture on the curb 🙏
this city is about to become terrible for brownstone owners. You should definitely sell your brownstone before everything falls apart. Just go go go, sell as fast as you can, don't wait for a good price, just sell it before the mob burns it down

My *high school paper* would not publish stories with 0 named sources because it was too unreliable
“It’s shaken me to my core,” a lieutenant said of Mamdani’s unexpected victory in June. “The absolute dread I feel is palpable.” Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November: thefp.com/p/nypd-cops-i-will…

BREAKING: Judge Lewis Kaplan just issued a temporary restraining order demanding that ICE hold fewer migrants at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. It also orders ICE to ensure they have access to lawyers and proper hygienic and medical care. Story to come.
NEW: I'm told by the lawyers in this case that the federal judge, Lewis Kaplan, said during a virtual hearing this morning that he will issue a TRO in this case. The details should be spelled out in a written order later today. Story to come.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her. tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing. 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/re…

It’s strike day 3 and we’re picketing Eisner Dictor & Lamadrid (@BenjaminDictor @ThomasLamadrid) in downtown Manhattan. These are the “lawyers in service of the working people” that the @UAW is using to bust our union 🤡

We wish we had better news. But as of now, #MarcellusWilliams is still scheduled to be executed by Missouri tonight at 6 p.m. central for a crime he is totally innocent of. ⁠ Don’t stop sharing his story. It’s not too late to save an innocent life.⁠ innocenceproject.org/petitio…

why are you calling local police for arresting students then….?
"Last year was a tough one on college campuses, so over the summer a lot of people asked me if I was hoping things would be less political this fall. Actually, I’m hoping they will be more political." - President @mroth78 in @nytopinion. nyti.ms/3Tfevl1

can't help but think of this article as @mroth78 brings local police in to arrest students having a sit in to urge the board of trustees to vote yes on divestment. shame on @wesleyan_u for putting your students in danger. despicable. nytimes.com/2024/09/02/opini…

BREAKING: Wesleyan administration just arrested students holding a divestment sit-in. We need everyone to call (860) 685-3500 RIGHT NOW and demand that Wesleyan: 1) release students immediately; 2) press no charges or administrative sanctions; 3) divest from the genocide.

NEW: Nassau County police officers — a department with a well-documented history of aggressive and discriminatory policing tactics — have received no training, guidance, or guardrails on how to enforce the mask ban. This is reckless, and puts Long Islanders at risk.

Deputy Commissioner Tarik Sheppard shows the chains used to secure Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. "This is not what students bring to school. This is what professionals bring to campuses and universities."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Misleading: The post suggests that students wouldn't typically bring in that chain. However, it's actually a Kryptonite bike lock, sold at a discount by Columbia University. publicsafety.columbia.edu/content/crime-… amazon.com/Kryptonite-Noo…

Doesn’t seem like a total accident that the NYPD raids on students at Columbia and CCNY are happening at the same time that Rafah is under brutal siege
