"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

Caught Cuomo giving what didn’t sound like a concession speech even though he acknowledged he lost:

People in Venice are protesting Jeff Bezos' upcoming gala wedding there, pointing out his history of tax avoidance. As @propublica.org showed in 2021, Bezos has TWICE paid $0 in federal income tax. One year, he claimed & received a $4k tax CREDIT for his kids. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

More than anything I’m just annoyed that these people just went to war without the decency of trying to scare us first. Like they didn’t even bother to throw Anthrax around or anything.

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Whoa. Spicy footnote from Justice Jackson, dissenting in the ADA case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

“If Trump Cares About Fighting Antisemitism, Why Did He Pardon These Jan. 6 Insurrectionists?” Some praised Hitler. One wore an ‘Auschwitz’ hoodie. Another gave a Nazi salute. The MAGA insurrection was a festival of antisemitism.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.

fact check.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life. As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

There is always a tweet.

Wow—the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social isn’t this ridiculous: we aren’t endorsing anyone, several good candidates but it’s between Cuomo & Mamdani, May the best man win. Also though “We do not believe that Mr. Mamdani deserves a spot on New Yorkers’ ballots.” ‘Cont

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?" AOC/Bernie: 70% Moderate Dems: 30% Harvard-Harris / June 12, 2025

What we’ve learned so far: 1. Cops can’t tell if someone dressed like a cop is real (how are we supposed to?) 2. Cops who witness a shooting don’t always follow the suspect; they may stay on scene & search his car. 3. Cops don’t report obvious suspicious behavior (“cop” on scene ignores them) WTF?

If you want an example of the failings of Community Notes, look no further than Musk spreading misinfo in the hours after the Minnesota shooting. The shooter has now been IDed as a Trump supporter. There is no community note on Musk or the original post he quotes.

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

Ross told me he enlisted in the Marines when he was 17 because he loves his country and to help his parents get a path to citizenship. protesting directly in front of Marines deployed by President Trump he told me "it makes me feel sad... a lot of Marines, they’re all Hispanic."

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

Well past time for big city mayors to call for the arrest of anyone who claims to be law enforcement but wears a mask and/or won’t identify themselves
