NYT Editorial board effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo today in the most weaselly possible way. “Don’t rank Mamdani, and it will probably be either him or Cuomo, sooo…”

I wish a very suck shit to all the papers endorsing cuomo

i, like many in the transit sphere, am skeptical of free bus fares and i think you should still vote for zohran mamdami

fucking obliterated from orbit by this guy on okcupid

there's a dictator sending troops to fight his own constituents, better be scared about the brown socialist! thanks, ezra kleins wife

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer

“In a world and a nation that is crying to end the gerontocracy of our leadership, that wants to see a new day, that wants to see a new generation ascend, it is unconscionable to send Andrew Cuomo to Gracie Mansion.”

Police have started attacking peaceful protesters at L.A.’s No Kings Day by trampling them with their horses, shooting less than lethals, and deploying tear gas. 🧵 @theglutster.bsky.social & @shoton35mm.bsky.social reporting

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I was just here. Peaceful protest. What in the fuck.

fav chant of the day was an acknowledgment of Pride Month followed by 'bottoms and tops / we all hate cops'

BK people, especially protestors and POC: ICE IS AT MARIA HERNANDEZ PARK IN BUSHWICK

Massive #NoKings protest in Kingston, NY, home of swing 18th congressional district. Sheriff said 5,000 attended! City has 24k people total Video by @thomasbrodin.bsky.social

AG Ellison staying at the No Kings rally despite being on the assassin’s hit list to tell the crowd to not be stopped, to keep marching is exactly what I needed in this moment.

The New York Times now reports millions of Americans are attending No Kings anti-Trump protests across the country. Events in all 50 states. Officials in Los Angeles are calling the crowds “unprecedented.” This is likely one of the largest mass protests in U.S. history.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Billionaires own Cuomo.

if you have to bring your phone at all. If possible, don't.

Reposting because this is still too good

The donors don't want their workforce deported. But you'll be subject to deportation if you quit your job or join a union or try to bargain for better wages or complain about sexual harassment.

In addition to being slightly less at the whims of the fascist panopticon, leaving your phone at home is nice because not having the entire world in your pocket 24/7 is good for the ol noggin

been waffling on becoming a paid subscriber of Aftermath for months. This piece was masterful, and is the reason I'm biting the bullet. Tears in my eyes by the end. Thank you @nathangrayson.bsky.social.

“I spent the fascist summer of 2025 complaining about the aesthetic shortcomings of middle aged women at protests on the internet instead of doing anything actually useful” is a choice one can make, but we also can choose to make fun of you for it until you die

couldn't just let me have cuomo getting eviscerated at the debate. You had to tell me about j brekkie endorsing AI slop to keep it balanced. And that is why I hate the world and living

DO NOT RANK ANDREW CUOMO

that Zohran clip was the tip of the iceberg of how thoroughly Cuomo got brutalized last night hellgatenyc.com/cuomo-takes-...

"Andrew, you admitted at the time that you called a 25-year-old staffer into your office and asked her questions about whether she had older partners and whether she was available, and intimated that you were looking for a partner."

got a 😬 from Kieran Culkin as we both got off the G train. Took me a few seconds after he walked away to even realize it was him

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support. Our incredible Bargaining Committee worked into the night for us and reached a Tentative Agreement at around 5am! 🙏💪🥳🎉 As of now there will be NO STRIKE! Please continue enjoying all our work, knowing you all helped us get here! #unionstrong #voxunion #1u

love seeing bloodthirsty ghoulishly gleeful posts about how Americans are “getting what they voted for” in response to protestors in blue cities getting their skulls cracked and lungs gassed; you really got us, random guy from Saskatchewan

Israel isn’t going to drag the world into a war it’s already waging one, and we in Gaza are the first live testing ground. The genocide we’re living through isn’t a side effect it is the policy, the strategy, the message. What’s happening in Gaza today is a global rehearsal: how to wipe

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

holy FUCK
