Weirdly obsessed with this “I stole and am wearing an entire rack at Banana Republic” lewk

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

We’re lighting the I-35W bridge green tonight and tomorrow in honor of Melissa Hortman, who found joy and peace in trees and gardens 🌳

Mark and Melissa saw the humanity in everyone. Let’s honor them by doing the same.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Was with 100k+ people in Hyde Park last night having a lovely evening as the sun set. Walked to Green Park to get home and passed dozens of great bars + restaurants. These tedious misanthropes need to go outside.

Tbh I would not put it beyond the nypd to just stop doing basic functions of their jobs, leak details and results of that to places like the NY Post, in efforts to try to drive down his numbers, should he win the general

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

Shoutout to the woman wearing a thong bodysuit to the NYC dyke march with BI 4 ZOHRAN written neatly on her butt. You don’t see that for Cuomo or Adams

I miss having a human president.

Today is going to mark in American history the day we lost our democracy. It’s been a good run. Special thanks to Merrick Garland for his ineptitude in prosecuting Trump and the Democrats in Congress who allowed the Republicans to steal two Supreme Court Seats.

This is a campaign for the working people of our city who deserve dignity on the job and neighborhoods they can afford. That’s exactly who HTC and 32BJ fights and delivers for every single day, and I am honored to have their support as the Democratic nominee for Mayor.

Senator @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social has been tireless champion for civil rights and reform in Albany, so it's no surprise Manhattan Democrats have chosen him to be their nominee for Borough President. I am so grateful for his endorsement and look forward to leading New York City together!

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...

On Tuesday, New Yorkers delivered a mandate for a Mayor who puts working people first and makes this city affordable for all.

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.

Lol Trump losing his mind over Zohran Mamdani. Maybe he was looking into a mirror.

Congressman Jerry Nadler endorses Zohran Mamdani.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

So, does he get a serious business security detail now because, well <waves arms around at everything>

Zohran Mamdani stunned former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded the New York City mayoral primary race to the 33-year-old state lawmaker. trib.al/KfNebEQ

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.

James: His critics said that he should wait his turn. His critics said that he did not have the experience. His critics said they did not have the right name. Well, now all of them know his god damn name.

“Tonight, we made history … I will be your democratic nominee for mayor of New York City” - Zohran Mamdani

I just skimmed Bobby Sherman's "Greatest Hits" in honor of his passing and I am convinced he invented AI. There is no way a human wrote those songs.

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.

Health groups are mobilizing behind the scenes to preserve access for vaccines as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to upend the nation’s decades-old vaccine system, according to public health experts.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

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.

Like so many elections around the country, today is about organized money vs. organized people. I believe people will win.

Nice to catch-up with old friends at The Constructionism Conference in Zurich. I'm leading two workshops and presenting a paper. constructionism2025.inf.ethz.ch

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

A few weeks ago, I had the honor to meet with Rev. Dr. Demetrius S. Carolina, Sr, Pastor of First Baptist Central Church on Staten Island. I was even more honored when he invited me back to address the congregation on Sunday.

Tomorrow is ours if we want it. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

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.
