Came for the politics. Stayed for the juice. I block MAGA and accounts that knowingly follow MAGA. ❤️ need not be agreement—it just means you made me think and/or laugh.

jd vance should keep the works of Stephen Sondheim out of his mouth actually

Like ultimately the GOP just doesn't care about other people and are ok with it if they suffer and die. They used to try to mask this with bullshit claims that the safety net actually harms poor people or that it would destroy the economy or whatever. Now they don't feel they have to anymore.

All gas, no breaks. Only you can make this poll a reality: zohranfornyc.com/events

THERE ARE NOT TWO SIDES ON VACCINES. There are experts with decades of scientific proof and there are deranged conspiracy theorists. Those aren’t sides.

Free him now.

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

re: people crying about bluesky being an echo chamber. i opened my twitter notifications just for giggles and it’s just the app begging me to care about noah smith and bill ackman’s posts lmfao

BREAKING: A federal court ruled there's no legitimate basis for Mahmoud Khalil's continued detention, and that it's unconstitutional for the Trump administration to use vague foreign policy grounds to deport people. This is a win for free speech. We won't stop fighting until Mahmoud is released.

I'm in medicine, I have doctor friends! Do you know how many of them sat there staring off into space and self medicating with alcohol during COVID when person after person asked "is it too late for the vaccine?"

I don’t think people understand just how bad the vibes in the Latino community are right now. So many people have emergency plans in case they get picked up. Everyone is jumpy at public places. Our feeds are full of gallows humor. Shit is tough.

This ICE shit is so crazy that it has New Yorkers openly complementing LA

SLUTS VOTE!!!!!!

The people you are parasocially obsessed with are not thinking about you at all. If you are brought to their attention, their response is 'who the fuck is that?' I hope this helps.

You said you were going after dangerous criminals ? Now you are taking hard working people off the streets, separating parents from kids, taking people from immigration court who are following the rules, & putting the military on our streets…this isn’t America. DON’T TELL US EVERYTHING IS FINE

BEYER: Isn't this embarrassing? BESSENT: You seem not to have seen the economic data. GDP growth has been quite substantial BEYER: GDP growth is half what it was last year, sir BESSENT: Job growth is solid BEYER: Job growth is a third what it was last year, sir

BREAKING: We're suing to block an Arkansas law that forces the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom and library.

New ad airing in The Bronx feat. former Congressman and middle school principal @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social. "As Governor, Andrew Cuomo took from our kids and gave to his billionaire friends. My students never got what they deserved. That's why I'm supporting Zohran Mamdani for Mayor."

Communities with water fluoridation experience 25% fewer cavities, saving $32 per person annually by avoiding dental treatment costs and leading to fewer missed work and school days. Fight for fluoride. Defend Public Health. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social

One of the reasons you don't want soldiers encouraged to derisively boo previous presidents is they might be assigned to carry his casket one day.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

A terrifying escalation:

I understand the primal impulse of “these stupid motherfuckers are going to kill us all, fuck their thoughts, fuck their feelings.” And if you don’t work in public health, you don’t owe antivaxxers a nanosecond of your time. But someone has to do this work.

By the way, if Bluesky was as unpopular, failing, and one-sided as the editorials say it is then they wouldn’t even write editorials about it, let alone a new one every few days/weeks

This. 🏳️‍🌈

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

Over the past 50 years, childhood vaccinations have saved 153.8 million lives. Wisconsin has fallen behind in youth vaccination rates in recent years, and if we’re not careful serious outbreaks will occur and lives will be lost.

Traditionally, guitars have six strings- one for each degree of Kevin Bacon.

Mass protests planned for June 14, everyone hit the streets. Every city, every capital. Resist and defend. #3E #HandsOff #Indivisible #FiftyFiftyOne #StopICE #NoKingsProtest Find a confirmed location here (more protests exist but are not listed): nokings.org#map

I talked to @haaretzcom.bsky.social about Palestine and Israel, generational trauma, and how the far-right is trying weaponize Palestinian, Israeli, and Jewish pain for its authoritarian own agenda: www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

How about some neutral-leaning-good news? Brooklyn Public Library is making funding available for libraries across the US who want to develop freedom to read programming for young people. It's open to any library, with a note that small and rural libraries are especially encouraged to apply.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Broaching the subject of the advanced age of a member of Congress is still considered unseemly. But at 87, Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton has increasingly shown signs of significant diminishment—just when DC residents have never needed a more forceful advocate more than they do right now.

💥 BREAKING: DICK'S Sporting Goods shareholders have voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal (tally TBA). Proposal asking DICK'S to report on "affirmative action risks" of "discrimination" cited lawsuits filed against other companies by America First Legal, a group founded by Stephen Miller.

Cuomo already sounds defeated by Trump's authoritarianism. I will stand up for our city of immigrants because I'm not funded by the very same MAGA billionaires who put Trump back in the White House.

Looks like I angered a bunch of Cuomo fans and apologists. Bottom line, he stepped down under suspicious circumstances so why would you want him as Mayor? It is time to retire much of the old guard in the Democratic Party and bring in new ideas and people who are not afraid to fight the Orange King.

Something the Democratic Party is NOT doing right now, which it MUST DO, Is run ads on EVERY MEDIA PLATFORM KNOWN UNDER SUN, about the unconstitutionality of using troops on domestic soil. STOP ASSUMING people learned the Constitution in school. THEY DID NOT! You cannot

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is preparing to roll back rules that limited mercury, lead, and arsenic emissions from coal plants, protections designed to safeguard brain development and prevent heart and respiratory disease.

In addition to concerns about the Department of Energy’s FY26 budget request, my office has consistently heard from Virginians concerned about workforce cuts, grant funding freezes and lack of communication from DOE. I raised these concerns with Energy Secretary Chris Wright and demanded answers.

I will do anything—ANYTHING—not to be in a crowd, and I... I... ...am making plans to go to a No Kings rally this weekend.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

ICYMI: Yesterday the Florida Senate agreed to 100% funding for accelerated education programs — these are the AP/IB/AICE courses in Florida public schools that were originally facing a 50% cut. This is all thanks to your amazing advocacy.

More good news from Pennsylvania!🥳 A federal court permanently dismissed a lawsuit from the conservative 1789 Foundation that sought to remove 277,00 Pennsylvania voters from the rolls. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Sq...

Seat Fillers Needed - June 14th - Constitution Avenue - DC

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.
