Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

That was genuinely so much fun and so much sillier than I even expected. I’m even more inspired to Don’t Rank Cuomo!

This is absolutely insane shit to write down and publish. The left scared her. This might beat allll the other NYT headlines. Truly spectacular. The GOP banned abortion, the GOP said they would prosecute doctors providing abortions, the 6 Republican appointed SCOTUS judges overturned Roe.

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re not really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

🧵 NYC: Zohran Mamdani is an extraordinary political talent and he CAN win this. What a signal that would send to the country and to the world. If you have been on the fence, this is the moment to go all in.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

I stayed up late illustrating something for no real reason. I definitely didn't give out a google drive link with a high res version of it among friends and family for printing purposes.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

It doesn't get said enough, but it takes an incredible amount of courage to crawl across the broken shards of an entire patriarchal heteronormative cisgendered social structure to stand as your true selves in the face of ... everything that entails. Especially right now. I'm proud of you. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

If you are 2SLGBTQIA+, I'd love to share a table with you and I will not share a table with the people who want to hurt or oppress you. I love it when people have the courage to live as their authentic selves, and I hope the people in your lives celebrate you for who you are. Happy pride!

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.
