Today at the #Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day celebration, some neo-Nazis decided it would be a good opportunity to show off their subpar crafting skills & proclivity for cringe online shopping. It’s unclear how long they were there.
Images altered by me. No free promos for Nazis.
More stills of 2/3(?) of the neo-Nazis at the Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day parade today.
DMs open & secure email in bio if you recognize these losers.
Researchers DM for group name - no free promos.
If you attended the #Yonkers St. Patrick’s Day parade or hung out on McLean & Alexander afterwards (image shown below) and took photos/videos in the area, please get in touch!

Clip from the @nycforabortion clinic defense earlier this month. Just noticed their LRAD, which plays automated messages, has a typo.
“This is the New York City Police Dement.”

Today’s the last day to sign up for public comment ahead of Monday’s preliminary budget hearing on Public Safety. @NYCLU is collecting signups for people to comment on their experience with the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, shown above.
I’m not your boss and this is by no means advice, but I have seen activists suggest people sign up with an anonymous name to protect your identity, since comments and names are entered into public record and are therefore accessible by the NYPD.
Quick note about arrests/charges. I’m not a lawyer, just a reporter who’s seen a lot of people go through the system.
If someone is charged with a misdemeanor, they will go or be taken to the nearest precinct. At that precinct, they will be booked, given a DAT, and released from that pct.
A DAT is a desk appearance ticket. It schedules you for your court date.
If someone is charged with a felony, or a bench warrant is issued, they will be booked at the precinct or central bookings, where they will wait for arraignment, usually same day or next depending on when they were brought in.
Trump wants his followers to riot in NYC. On a Tuesday. Hilarious.
NYC is a heavily surveilled, excruciatingly policed city. Even though NYPD constantly betrays neutrality in favor of rightwing extremists, it is severely unlikely they would let anything like that happen.
However, this does put a big target on DA Bragg’s back.
How funny is it his lawyers told him not to tell his followers to riot and not only did he tell his followers to riot but he did it while claiming leftists burned down whole cities.
I was following a protest in DC that had just come up on a bunch of Trump merch. Protestors set it on fire, then kinda stood around. Calm moment to have a smoke. Couldn’t find my lighter, so I used the already burning fire.
This was early in the night. The protestors had left BLM Plaza and marched to Freedom Plaza (where this video was taken). Police followed at a distance. It took cops awhile to roll up and clear protestors away from the fires, with one commenting that it was a “pretty good fire.”
I know I have that video somewhere but I can’t find it right now. I did however find the photo I took of my bleeding ear 3 hours after this video was taken, when I was assaulted by someone in a mob of Proud Boys & white supremacists. Kept it movin.
According to the conservative book distributor sponsoring the stochastic terrorist’s reading hour, the event is getting “threats of potentially inappropriate & unsafe behavior.”
No idea what that means (are people going to be farting?). Reads like a self-cancelation gimmick.
The event shifted from “Reserve a spot” to “Sold out” this afternoon. Still shows as that, not canceled.
I have not come across any kind of threat other than one person jokingly suggesting people reserve a bunch of fake tickets.
Notably, Raichik and far right conspiracy theorists & propagandists she follows have blasted out actual reading hours in NYC, stoking hysteria & outrage by falsely claiming the events were harming children.
