I've said this before, but rule of law is vitaly important. It is not liberal or conservative. For 6000 years rule of law has been the North Star of civilization.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

I'd love to hear from defunders and police abolitionists tonight.
I love that my city won, and I love the happy celebrations!
I just hope that the minority of thugs trying to ruin our joy are kept in check by the NYPD. The cops are working hard tonight.

A reasoned thought on the Knicks, American hooliganism and policing by acknowledging the grand moment and providing space for it. Big respect for @BrandonDelPozo

It's pretty loud in New York City right now. Even in my neighborhood that doesn't generally get so loud. I hope everyone has a good time. But really I hope nobody gets killed.

Congratulations to New York on winning.
Not just the basketball. New York is just winning generally, and I'm happy for us.

something the left needs to sincerely grapple with is that the vast majority of workers in this country identify as american before anything else. i personally think it’s in our best interest to channel a positive vision for this country
I don't want to be an asshole, but if you, as a socialist, ever want a better, different world, you have to kill the part of you that feels this—or, rather, excise the part of you that connects any of those good feelings to country.

ICE took a 31 y/o Haitian asylum-seeker into custody, drove her 30 miles away to a Pittsburgh office, put an ankle monitor on her, then sent her out the front door with no way to get anywhere or contact her family.
She froze to death at a bus stop. It's now ruled a homicide.

Most pursuits during that period were outside guidelines; a posture authorized by leadership (who were subsequently promoted).
Those decisions flew in the face of 40 years of pursuit research. Read about how impacted crime and crashes here:

Officers violated NYPD guidelines in a deadly 2023 motorbike pursuit. The attorney general said there was insufficient evidence to charge them.

The problems we experience on US transit aren’t a natural byproduct of urbanism. They are intentional policy choices, born out of the pro-crime contrarianism of the last 6 years.
We had this problem solved a decade ago. Then left-wing leaders chose to stop doing what worked.

"A “sex abuse recidivist” with six arrests on record, including multiple prior charges of attempted rape, sexual abuse and forcible touching. In July 2023, he was arrested for attacking a 21-year-old woman in Brooklyn." Let's not release him again. nydailynews.com/2026/06/12/w…

I probably take about 20 subway rides a week. It’s fine.
But it’s also *not fine*. The amount of vandalism in the system has shockingly increased in the last 5 years. You see fare evasion every day. Plus all the mentally unstable people!!
That’s not diversity. That’s disorder.

I know that many Americans don’t feel safe on big-city transit, but I also know that many people are not used to normal urban diversity and misread it as danger. This vignette is a nice explanation of how actual urban people navigate transit and its hassles without fear. 1/

This is bad. But let's not forget that a man was beaten into a coma. The shit ain't cool.

AUSTIN MAN climbed onto a sleeping woman's bed, claimed he had a gun, and strangled her until she nearly blacked out. She gouged his eye and beat him with a fan to get him off her.
It was the third West Campus apartment Octavius Brown broke into that morning. In the other two, residents woke to find him exposing himself and masturbating inside their apartments.
Octavius Brown has roughly 30 cases since 2013. Of the 14 charges filed since 2021, 9 were dismissed or rejected.
Last time I covered this man he was getting arrested for robbing a gas station while out on bond for exposing himself and masturbating in public for the tenth time.

"When you see the yellow, do you not see the person behind the wheel? That's someone's spouse, child, parent or friend — a New Yorker."
(Same could be said about the blue.)
But no, the mob does not see that.
That is why mobs are lethal and terrifying.

That's our member behind the wheel. He was pulled out of the cab and suffered shock and physical injury to his arm, back and head.
The whole city is elated about our hometown team — and that includes drivers who watched the game last night at airport lots while waiting for the next fare, listened on their radios while cruising for the next job, and huddled at hotel lines with the same heart-stopping anxiety that turned into the most beautiful joy.
Pulling the cab driver out of his seat, stomping on and shattering his hood turned our joy into a nightmare.
When you see the yellow, do you not see the person behind the wheel? That's someone's spouse, child, parent or friend — a New Yorker.
He wasn’t out there for a joy ride, he was working to make ends meet and to get his fellow New Yorkers home safely.
Cabbies pay just to go to work. They pay for their cars — whether through loans or leases.
Drivers need safety on the job, both in the quiet moments of ordinary days and in the middle of public celebration.
Shame on anyone who turns these joyful moments into nightmares for fellow New Yorkers.

Endlessly fascinated by the ways fare evaders justify it to themselves, to avoid admitting they’re just thieves hurting public transit because they can.
“I am boycotting the MTA… by riding it every day without paying.”
Okay. 🤷🏻♂️

I just learned about the 1919 Liverpool Police strike: "Of 1,874 members of the Liverpool City Police, 954 went on strike." "An orgy of looting and rioting" went on for days before quelled by the military. The strikers were fired, but police pay doubled.

The DSA is unhappy that Mamdani is expanding the NYPD because they think having more police puts New Yorkers "in harm's way."
In the DSA's world, police cause violence, not criminals!
I'm glad Mamdani is ignoring these lunatics.

Coleman Hughes and John McWhorter weren’t too bothered to learn that Lupita Nyong’o was cast as Helen of Troy.
McWhorter: “If woke is getting somebody fired for using the wrong word, that’s bad. If woke is Lupita Nyong'o playing Helen of Troy...I figure it’s a good lesson to have the most beautiful woman in the world be her.”
