Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels. I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow. Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’ Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path. Strap in. It’s a 🧵 1/so many

Eric Adams not only revived police units that were disbanded in 2020 for their disproportionate abuse against Black and brown New Yorkers, he revived stop and frisk. Since he became mayor, 97% of all stops and searches have been on Black and Latino New Yorkers.

Someone watched that little ones every move for the 1st months of their life, worried about their milk intake, their sleep & development. Dressed them, brushed their hair. Kissed their cheeks 1000s of times, that little ones whose body was held up against the flames with no head

Litigation of Trump's immigration policies has already begun--the ACLU just filed a request based on today's cancellation of CBP One appointments Are asking for a status conference TODAY

Lost in the chaos of Donald Trump’s executive orders is a bombshell decision: halting all funding of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—the very law that Republicans and Democrats worked together to pass, to fix our roads, modernize aging bridges, and ensure clean drinking water.
