An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

You love to see this happen to a guy who is absolutely parked in a bike lane right now

Let's hope so

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Primary almost everyone. Enough is enough. We deserve a better world.

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

This.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

If you or anyone you know is still considering ranking Andrew Cuomo for mayor, please read this piece from @rtraister.bsky.social - the NY Mag journalist who covered the sexual harassment allegations against him substack.com/home/post/p-...

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

See this for what it is. An authoritarian regime and its secret police are targeting political enemies and marginalized people they have vilified and dehumanized. We're in it, folks. Deep, deep in it. Fascism. Stop dancing around it. Stop playing games. Give up all remaining denial. We're in it.

We do need mass movement but I gotta say this. Folks who just got energized need to make space for the resentment of folks who have been shouting this whole time, including the left & Black people. People who are part of this collective who have legitimate bitterness at how they've been treated.

The plutocrats in the MAGA coalition want this because it redistributes even more wealth upwards towards them; for the MAGA ideologues, this is about entrenching hierarchies of race, gender, and wealth in service of what they call the “natural” order. MAGA is at war with egalitarian democracy.

*Open bribery *Masked armed officials arresting residents without warrants, citizens who try to intervene *Arrests for engaging in non-violent speech *Destruction of government capacities *Massive economic uncertainty and damage *Unprecedented targeting of government power against political enemies

June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

When Trump says that upholding the Constitution and ensuring the rights it guarantees people would slow down his agenda, he’s admitting that his agenda ignores the Constitution and violates people’s rights. He’s breaking the law and doesn’t think anyone will stop him.

Did you know that for $5/month, you can get PBS Passport, a service that unlocks the vastness of the @pbs.org libraries? Feed your mind while you help PBS stay on the air.

A @reuters.com investigation identified 11 judges whose families faced threats after they ruled against President Trump. Many have come after billionaire Elon Musk attacked them on his social media platform. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Fantastic piece from @dahlialithwick.bsky.social on the tide finally starting to turn: "But what really matters—what is measurable and knowable now in a way that was not a few weeks ago—is that standing up to Trump is going to be worth it." slate.com/news-and-pol...

Expelling the press in order to arrest peaceful protesters isn't a good sign.

JFC. Monsters: ICE Deports 3 U.S. Citizen Children Held Incommunicado Prior to the Deportation Families disappeared and isolated without legal access; one child with cancer deported without medication and pregnant mother deported as well www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Horrifying abuse of presidential power. The United States of America is an authoritarian state. Donald Trump is a criminal dictator.

"Law students organize to give Trump-caving firms a recruitment problem" Georgetown Law students made a spreadsheet. National coverage followed. Now, the world's richest firms face PR & recruitment headaches. An organizer on how it unfolded @www.AllRiseNews.com www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-st...

It’s incredible that now the *best case* scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

Senator Van Hollen on why you should care

Incompetent liars who brag about being competent truth tellers. All they do is screw up and lie and brag, and accuse everyone else of doing what they themselves have always done and will keep doing. They are frauds. Demand better.
