Feel the exact same

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

This feels like a very New York mini-celeb move that they teach you when you get, like, six figure followers. Happened to me once at a party with a relatively famous porn star and I’ve seen the maneuver in action many times while not on the receiving end

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

anyone who says there are no good candidates for NYC mayor is ignorant. anyone who says cuomo is the best choice is a coward.

What's driving me nuts about the Zionists for Cuomo brigade is that Andrew Cuomo has said some very anti-Semitic stuff in the past. This is a thing that happened.

Watching the party elders and the worst rich people in the world shove cuomo down our throats in New York I keep flashing back to Hunter S. Thompson’s Battle of Aspen and campaign for sheriff. Thompson lost by 8% pts, 31 votes in an election where only 377 votes were cast…

And I want to send a clear message to some of my most important constituents in South Carolina: Ladies: I know you can't vote in New York, but when you go to work today and your boss tries to finger you, know that you're a small price to pay to make sure you also have to pay to ride the bus.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Days like today really hammer home for me how craven & cowardly the powerful and elite are. And how brave & hopeful & caring so many normal, everyday people are. The contrast is so striking and of all the ways I’ve understood historical fascism, I don’t think I ever realized it’s that simple.
