Got. Dam.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY??? *This* is the NOW INFAMOUS "Footnote 12" that Jackson wrote. It basically tells Neil Gorsuch: "Fuck you as a staff, label, and motherfucking crew."

Me: It's unwise to be charmed by politicians and you should never treat them like fictional characters you root for uncynically. Also me: What if Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander were both mayor and had Bert & Ernie beds in Gracie Mansion?

Post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

Please pass this on to anyone going to immigration court. ICE is staking out courts to kidnap immigrants trying to do the right thing. This is a process to have the hearing virtually and eliminate that danger. nipnlg.org/work/resourc...

“.. the overlapping timeline of that decision with his meetings with Senate staff and the White House Counsel’s Office has not previously been reported.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

FACTS.

Having grown up Catholic? I kinda love how the Pope is trolling. VP goes to CA and talks shit? A former-refugee cardinal stares down ICE … in CA. VP wants to meet the Pope? He gets 17 SECONDS of time. Trump having a parade? Pope throws a biggo Mass at the same time. <chef’s kiss>

can you imagine if everywhere JD Vance goes to cruelly troll vulnerable people, he's met by a "woke" bishop frustrating and/or plainly upstaging him

an important point with Mamdani is that he *hasn't* run a divisive candidate. this isn't like the Bernie 2020 campaign where Bernie's staff went after everyone else, it's a mutually supportive, cross-endorsing, fuck Andrew Cuomo campaign.

Aaand here’s @jessicatarlov.bsky.social getting the highest honor a TV personality can receive 🏆

When I was young, if we wanted to find the secret rave, we'd have to be smart enough to solve a puzzle with a few clues placed around the city that would eventually lead us to the address. The next G7 should do that.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

Many don’t see how profoundly alienating it is for entire generations of young people

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

I think the Catholic Church should do this every day in every city

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

If you think a retrograde bully and serial sex pest like Andrew Fuckup Cuomo is the best hope for the future of the Democratic Party, go ahead and load your pockets with stones and walk into the Hudson River.

I detest ICE and would gladly vote to disband it altogether. If this is what immigration enforcement looks like, we don’t need it. Never did.

Okay, "I've seen enough." On her second full year on the bench, my new favorite Supreme Court justice is, officially, Ketanji Brown Jackson. Footnote 12 has put her over the top. Congratulations to all who participated.

In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible. In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

THIS.

And he fired the Librarian of Congress.

The Cuomo endorsements are an effective list of … people who are part of the reason Dems are bleeding support from everywhere. This isn’t hard, FFS. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

There is literally no argument against Zohran Mamdani that is anywhere in the same realm as serial sexual harassment of government employees and then hijacking $60 mil+ of taxpayer dollars to defend yourself and attack the people who tried to hold you accountable.

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Armed and masked men are kidnapping people off American streets. We are living in a lawless and scary country.

The story of LGBT rights is a story of advances followed by setbacks followed by media with no skin in the game saying, "It's because you were too loud/asked for too much/moved too fast/got too big for your britches/didn't make your case." That never changes--but happily it's never the last word.

i love when rich new yorkers are like “tax me too much and ill leave.” no they won’t. new yorkers are obsessed with new york, especially wealthy new yorkers. where else can they feel like the emperor in his glittering imperial core? indianapolis? be serious

Today, on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom & the abolition of slavery But our freedoms are under attack: our freedom to live w/o racial discrimination, provide for our families, & come home safely to our loved ones EPI will continue to fight for an economy & a nation that is equitable for everyone

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

Montgomery County officially barred its employees from providing information to ICE on Wednesday, directing them to withhold crucial data like immigration status and country of origin unless directed to do so by their superiors.

I don’t care about sportsball. At all. LET’S GO @dodgersbot.bsky.social ! I hope you sports the best and win the … cup or crown or whatever!

JUST NOW: ICE denied at Dodgers stadium

I been said that actuaries tell us the truth. Oh COVID is mild? What do life insurance companies say about that? Climate change is not real? Then why are insurance companies planning to refuse coverage to certain places?

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them. So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward. Time to buy glitter . . .

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!
