I'm home & overwhelmed by all your messages of love & support. Thank you.

I'll explain more about my arrest later but for now just know it was bogus, as were the arrests of all the brave New Yorkers protesting against a police force that routinely terrorizes this city.
Please show the protesters your support.
Again, I'll explain more abt my arrest and everything I saw, but just wanna say quick that it is the height of absurdity to suggest the NYPD showed restraint yesterday.

The mayor's statement gives cops the green light to continue to brutalize protesters

NEW: There's been a big proliferation of Facebook groups devoted to the "boogaloo," a term for civil war, during the pandemic.

Thousands of armed right-wing militants, mad at lockdown measures, are plotting & preparing for violence against the government huffpost.com/entry/boogaloo…
A new @TTP_updates report has identified 125 Facebook groups devoted to boogaloo.

Over 60% of the groups were created in just the last three months, according to the report. The 125 groups have tens of thousands of members. huffpost.com/entry/boogaloo…
The potential for real-world violence by these Facebook groups came into focus earlier this week, when an boogaloo enthusiast live-streamed himself on Facebook driving around Texarkana, Texas, allegedly looking for a police officer to shoot and kill. buzzfeednews.com/article/emmanu…

I spoke to legal experts and NYC activists about why this statement from Bloomberg is horseshit.

If you're considering supporting Bloomberg, I'd please recommend that you read this story. huffpost.com/entry/bloomber…
I pressed Bloomberg's campaign on how exactly it calculated that he "cut" stop and frisks by "95 percent" as mayor. A spokesperson sent me some numbers that didn't answer my question.

A Columbia University criminologist called the 95% figure "nonsense" huffpost.com/entry/bloomber…
.@alyssaguilera, a spokesperson for @CPRAction, told me: “The nation is just now starting to learn what Black, Latinx and other New Yorkers know intimately ― Bloomberg’s legacy in NYC was 12 years of racist policing and criminalizing poverty." huffpost.com/entry/bloomber…

Starting a thread of my reporting from Trump rallies because I think my reporting from Trump rallies is good. I'll continue to update through 2020. In no particular order, starting with that rally in Greenville.

Including CPAC in this thread because CPAC was basically one big long Trump rally huffpost.com/entry/cpac-whi…
