This video made me sit up and take notice of Zohran way back in Nov. I encourage everyone to watch it— this is how you grow your coalition. This is the energy that we need.
Why did so many working class New Yorkers vote for Donald Trump last week — and even more not vote at all? I went to Hillside Ave in Queens and Fordham Rd in the Bronx to find out.

You couldn’t make up a better allegory for the disproportionality in state funding between policing and public housing
This video is wild. US Marshals were trying to conduct a raid in Missouri, but the balcony had other plans.

Every time I went to a protest or event about freeing Mumia Abu Jamal, I knew Prof. Johanna Fernandez would be there. Along with her amazing scholarly work, she was absolutely dedicated to the cause of freeing political prisoners. Rest in power!
Panel at the Peoples Forum in NYC on freeing Mumia Abu Jamal starting now. Prof. Johanna Fernandez is starting things off. #FreeMumia #BringMumiaHome

READ: A woman was forced to give birth in Brooklyn criminal court 2 nights ago on a courtroom bench. Shackled. All while courtroom personnel gawked. And the judge ultimately refused even to dismiss her case--trespassing on her own rooftop. This is "justice" in America. More:

I love that the bryant park woodcocks are going viral because there are few creatures that combine magic and idiocy so well but it bears mentioning that a lot of the birds don't make it out of the park alive. Each of these dots represents a woodcock killed by a window strike.
