But some are now challenging their detentions in court—and getting released.  Last week, Columbia University student activist Mahmoud Khalil, the first known pro-Palestinian activist arrested by ICE under the Trump administration, was let […]

Most People Support Taxing Carbon Even If It Costs Them, Global Survey Shows

/

This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. People in affluent countries around the world are willing to tax themselves to address climate change and ease poverty. That idea defies conventional political wisdom, which typically holds that people hate taxes. It emerged in a survey of 40,680 people in […]

Conservatives Are Already Losing Their Minds Over Mamdani’s Apparent Win

/

It didn’t take long for conservatives to lose their minds after Zohran Mamdani’s apparent upset over Andrew Cuomo in the Tuesday night Democratic primary in the New York City mayoral race. Why? He’s a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist who has promised free buses, free child care, and to freeze the rent. But the fact that seems […]

“He Won”: Andrew Cuomo Acknowledges Zohran Mamdani’s Stunning Primary Victory

/

It would be an understatement to say that Zohran Mamdani was a bit of an unknown when he began his campaign for mayor of New York City. As recently as January, the democratic socialist state assembly member from Astoria, Queens, was polling at just 1 percent in some polls. But now Mamdani is poised to […]

Trump Is Ignoring Court Orders, and the Supreme Court Seems OK With That

/

The Trump administration argues it has the right to deport certain immigrants to far-flung, dangerous locations such as Libya, South Sudan, and an infamous labor prison in El Salvador without the due process rights guaranteed by the US Constitution, immigration law, and international humanitarian treaties the United States has signed. In these countries, they face […]

The Bipartisan Billionaires Behind Andrew Cuomo’s Comeback

/

For a couple weeks, I’ve been getting negative campaign mailers for a New York City council district I don’t live in. I’m not really sure why. Maybe there was a data-entry error. Maybe someone’s used an outdated map. Maybe someone hates me.  They’re the sort of mailers you tend to get if you live in […]
