I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

About to fly home from Zurich where I presented a paper I'm enormously proud of at the biennial Constructionism Conference. Here is the paper and the slides I used to quickly present a great number of ideas. I hope you find it interesting. dailypapert.com/my-tough-lov...

Fox News just accidentally made Zohran Mamdani sound like the most pro-family candidate in America. Free childcare. Baby baskets. $30 minimum wages. If I were a New York resident, I'd say tell me where to sign.

Jerry Nadler, who represents the UWS and notably did not criticize Cuomo in 2025 after calling for him to resign in 2021, just endorsed Zohran Mamdani. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/n...

all the handwringing about Zohran Mamdani ushering in an era of antisemitism is deranged and, from someone raised Jewish, insulting! 3x so given the actual Nazi-level antisemitic parroting that's absolutely flourishing on the far (and not even that far) right

"He looks TERRIBLE," says Donald Trump - Donald Trump!! - about Zohran Mamdani. Beyond parody. I have no words.

Zohran Mamdani seems to have won by: listening to what people want and proposing policies to address those. He’d also really charismatic and funny. Everything else is noise. Every Dem should take note of how he did this.

This is what’s so weird! Crime and disorder and garbage are real issues. But we’ve come a long way since 2021 and yet Cuomo and Adams (WHO IS THE INCUMBENT FOR GOD’S SAKE) still talk about it like it’s just post Covid.

This is where my crusade began. I told a teacher to stop insisting that a child call everyone in class her friend. It’s demonstrably not true and that’s okay. We use other words in our family! They refused.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

I'm launching a campaign for U.S. Senate. I'm seeking to serve Texas because I love my country—I believe in its ideals and values. I'm an Air Force Colonel and an astronaut, but really, I'm an American first, a Texan second, and a common-sense Democrat 3rd. It's time for change.

I am so confused. Cuomo has been endorsed by both George Santos and Bill Clinton? It seems the only issue Republicans and Democrats agree on is that Progressives must never govern. Why is that? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
