A handy list of feckless corrupt Democrats who should be driven out of politics.

This is an absolutely disgraceful act of corruption by both major parties. It will lead to an incredibly foreseeable set of disasters: best case, unlimited corruption and scamming, worst case a global financial crisis and inevitable federal bailout. Horrifying that 18 Democrats voted for it.

Complete sicko

When you see the video and can’t square what your eyes see with what these goons have charged Lander, realize that these bs assault charges are not an outlier. Cops constantly falsely claim that assault and resisting arrest.

Abolish ICE

One of our leading citywide elected leaders and candidates for mayor peacefully asks masked ICE agents to see a warrant and is violently arrested. Horrifying and disturbing for what it is and what it represents. Fascism. www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

This is a great point.

#AbolishICE

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Lander is making a late run to grab the number 1 spot on my ballot

"The Only Democracy in the Middle East" is arresting protesters for wearing "Stop The War" t-shirts. One officer said the slogan "is something that's illegal to have on a shirt." Gift link www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

Literally asking Americans to back a fascist engaged in genocide who instigated the attack against them by preemptively striking Iran. Schumer is a threat and is actively going to destroy the party. The party is completely cooked if this continues

Good thing elite institutions in this country didn’t spend the last year affirming their ironclad political support for a rogue foreign state. That probably would have been a mistake

That virtually none of the candidates used their opportunity to ask any candidate a question to attack Cuomo is pathetic.

Cuomo attacks Lander for being from St. Louis before anyone has even mentioned that Cuomo moved to NYC for this election…

Neither understand the point of the debate.

I don’t know why no one is attacking Cuomo for not even living in NYC

These candidates are all terrible debaters. Completely letting Cuomo off the hook.

Schumer stopped the Senate to announce that this happened, in the middle of debate on a bill where Democrats were collaborating with Republicans on crypto legislation. How you can compartmentalize these two things is beyond me.

Here is what an actual opposition party would be doing. Unfortunately, there is no opposition.

I was proud to sign this letter and we will re-elect @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

A US senator is assaulted and cuffed for asking a question at a press conference held by the Sec of Homeland Security. We now live in an authoritarian regime where the political opposition can be detained and rounded up.

If we have free and fair elections, every single one of these goons needs to be held to account.

Maybe Dems will stop voting for Trump's nominees now?

Noem straight up announcing at a public presser she's here in LA to remove political leadership she doesnt agree with is a testament to not only how fascist she is but also how stupid

this is egregiously bad and all of these people should go to prison, but this is not what a stable regime who are secure in their consolidation of power looks like, they’re coming unglued

Every day, it becomes more clear that Kornberg's work at the Brennan Center on "money in politics" must have been on increasing the amount of money in politics.

It is time for every self-declared progressive in the race to endorse Zohran and urge supporters to rank him 2nd. Any candidate who doesn’t do so is supporting Cuomo.

"Abolish ICE" needs to be the moderate Democratic position going forward. The progressive position is, "Send everyone who works for ICE to the Hague."

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

These are one sentence apart. Words, what do they mean. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

Jonathan Greenblatt is a fascist. Anyone who supports the ADL is a supporter of fascism.

Ramos is such a loser.

Jessica Ramos lied to our face in our endorsement process. I will be voting to rescind our endorsement.

75 days apart

I cannot grasp the mind that allows someone to say “This man assaulted women” and then, two months later, endorse him. Do you simply not have beliefs? Are your beliefs robotic restatements of what a majority of your friends are saying?

And here’s what she said weeks ago to me:

Ramos shows her true colors. She is the worst kind of politician—petty, amoral, pathetic, cynical, and selfish.

This says it all.

👏👏👏

Fire Thibs.

If Hanif wins big I'm hoping it shows that you can beat back candidates funded by Trump donors.

Let's get clear! @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is endorsed by: EVERY union who has made an endorsement (and the CLC). EVERY environmental, LGBTQ, women's, and progressive / resistance group who has made an endorsement. And dozens of electeds & leaders spanning the diversity of our district & city.

Thibs is supposed to be a defensive coach yet the Knicks suck defensively. Fire Thibs.

The Knicks winning was almost ruined by them showing Dan Goldman right at the end
