I believe the Democratic establishment would rather crush Mamdani than really embrace him and why he, and others, like AOC are winning. Hope I'm wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

Rough day for Big Balls — he got fired from his DOGE position. Rougher day for Andrew Cuomo, who was rejected by NYC voters. Great day for Zohran Mamdani and the working class. This historic victory might just help the party win back trust with it's base.

The CCC report shows some movement towards trying to keep us all safe, but not nearly fast enough. It’s time to stop throwing money at the likes of Shell and BP. Govt subsidises the fossil fuel industry by £17.5BILLION/year – let's put that into lowering bills instead. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The increasing normalisation of nuclear weapons is deeply dangerous & sends message to all other countries that security depends on acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Oh & the bombs are owned & use controlled by US alone. What could possibly go wrong?

My bones are loud enough to remember when the intel they used to justify the invasion of Iraq was that they were supposedly manufacturing chemical weapons in glass beads, something that wasn't real, and taken straight from the fictitious nerve agent from The Rock starring Nic Cage.

Trump launching us into war with Iran is a flagrant abuse of power + an impeachable offense. The Framers were clear with the War Powers Clause in the Constitution: only Congress could take the nation into war. He must be impeached and removed from office. @fsfp.bsky.social www.impeachtrumpagain.org

The War Powers Act allows POTUS to use military force in 3 very specific situations: a declared war, after an authorization from Congress or imminent attack. The Iran bombing meets none of those. This blatant disregard for the law has to be an impeachable offense!

Charlotte Bennett, the former staffer Cuomo's been hounding in the courts since she went public with his sexual harassment of her, appeared with @lindseyboylan.bsky.social at a Brad Lander event yesterday. If you haven't yet voted, making things less shitty for Cuomo's victims is a reason to do so.

Flattened cities, millions of people burnt to death, and yet more tortured by radioactive fallout. That harrowing future may seem outlandish to some, but only because no nation has detonated a nuclear weapon in conflict since 1945. Our 2023 story on if old nukes would actually work.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

A Harvard law professor of 50 years in Constitutional Law is telling you that, yes, it IS that bad. It's time for people to stop crying "alarmist" when the severity of the situation in the US is pointed out.

Federal judge sides with Harvard—blocks Trump’s ban on international students. Harvard wins a legal reprieve while Trump teases a ‘mind‑bogglingly historic’ deal. Drama, leverage, high stakes. If everything is “historic” and “mind boggling,” as he always claims…then nothing would be. #BS

Trump's losing in the court of public opinion to Harvard & to Gavin Newsom. That's how weak of a president he is.
