The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds. The priest is standing there, not doing anything remotely illegal, and without warning a masked DHS agent on the roof shoots him in the top of his head with a pepper ball.
Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

So @NYCMayor has cigars and a livestream with @sneako, but siccs security on @NYDailyNews. By far the worst comms team in a generation.
WATCH: @NYCMayor banning our reporter in the midst of a press conference is outrageous and an assault on freedom of the press

"Yes I am," Adams says in a sing-songy voice when @katie_honan points out he appears afraid of directly answering her questions about Trump's budget cuts to certain federal agencies.

Andrew Cuomo's campaign posted his childcare plan with a flattering photo of his mayoral race opponent Adrienne Adams reading to children ... and then deleted it minutes later.

It’s not tough to give credit where it’s due. But at least two NYC TV stations cribbed @THECITYNY story on the drop in honking complaints after congestion pricing pricing— w/ zero mention of our reporting. Give a nod, it’s the right thing to do. thecity.nyc/2025/03/11/traff…

Still no answer to when we can actually ask the mayor crucial questions in a weekly briefing. (@Fabien_Levy is referring to the shortened workweek @THECITYNY reporters had due to budget issues. We were back to 5 days Jan 1; keep us going thecity.nyc/ways-to-give/)

“But they’re only going to round up immigrants committing crimes!” No. ICE is already rounding up innocent American citizens. ⬇️
A three-year old, his mother, and his grandmother were speaking Spanish while shopping at a department store in Milwaukee. They’re U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico, but were taken by ICE: telemundopr.com/programas/di…

DEI only existed because white people were racist. They had the opportunity to hire based on merit, and they hired their unqualified white friends every time. DEI isn’t racism. It’s a solution to historical racism.

Gov. Hochul is at Grand Central to talk transit safety - cops on every train from 9 pm to 5 am, more platform barriers. And in accordance with Transit Reporter Code Title XI, Chapter VII, Section III, the ace transit scribes are seated on the floor.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion is a motto, a goal people have. How can that possibly be “unsalvageable”? It’s like a saying, “brotherhood “ is unsalvageable 🤷🏻‍♂️
