Serously, come ON. This is NYC. Our whole thing is "I'M WALKING HERE!" not oh yes sir mr president thank you sir please don't notice me please.

The Department of Energy does NOT drill for oil. One would expect its secretary, the White House, and the president to know that.

we're living through one of the greatest technological revolutions in the history of mankind and it's not AI

Wow.

ICE is literally beating and kidnapping Americans in the streets and disappearing them to gulags in other countries but yeah, let's instead demonize the Iranian American and American Muslim communities with good old "sleeper cell" fear mongering to distract from Trump's illegal war with Iran.

Welcome to the First American Reich👇

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Because the press and the punditry are completely out of their depth. Imagine covering Saddam’s Iraq or Putin’s Russia or any other authoritarian country attacking another and failing to analyze it from a domestic politics lens.

Have any members of congress sued over the new illegal ICE detention facility inspection restrictions yet?

I’m not just picking on Gilibrand. We are seeing this from so many Democratic officeholders. The damage this does to the Democratic Party can’t be overstated.

When pet owners make the heartbreaking choice to surrender an animal for economic reasons, MaxFund Animal Shelter in Denver gives them a second chance through low-cost vet care. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations to support their work: checkout.square.site/merchant/CEF...

It's no surprise that the top call on 5 Calls this week in these western states was about the provision in HR 1 mandating the sell-off of 3.3 million acres of their public land. (*CA is also targeted) Join them in fighting to protect public lands! Call script here: 5calls.org/issue/public...

JFC, this stuff is awful!! Why are Republicans so fukken cruel?

Do I really have to say anything more than this? We promised those people safety. He’s sending them home to die. @democrats.senate.gov get off your asses and do something. Use their tricks against them. Grow a pair.

I’m still waiting for CNN to devote multiple programming days to Trump’s obvious cognitive decline and dangerous mental instability.

The Washington Post depicts resistance to fascism as if it were a political stunt. The shallowness and cynicism of the Post is shameful.

If you or anyone you know is still considering ranking Andrew Cuomo for mayor, please read this piece from @rtraister.bsky.social - the NY Mag journalist who covered the sexual harassment allegations against him substack.com/home/post/p-...

While Trump is determined to lock us into 20th century technology, China is jumping ahead. BYD is testing a battery than can go over 1,000 miles on a single charge electrek.co/2025/06/20/b...

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Exactly, they're arresting people who are even trying to do it the right way. It was never about catching criminals or crooks. It was about terrorizing non-white people.

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

About an hour ago, Senate Democrats staged a total boycott of the Republican led Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Former President Joe Biden’s mental ability. From Feminist News on Facebook

I will live in spite of this Administration. I will live in spite of this court. The work goes on, and I will not stop fighting for us.

INBOX — @tnequality.bsky.social on the SCOTUS ruling: “We are profoundly disappointed… gender-affirming care is proven to save lives… governments/politicians/courts/extremists have no place in the exam room…”

Get the federal troops out of L.A. Now.

Gore winning 2000 means no Alito or Roberts. Clinton winning 2016 means no Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, or Barrett. A few thousand votes' difference means misery and terror for millions.

interesting which parts of the bill you've seen and havent seen

well this is just about the most ominous thing I've ever heard

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

In 150 days we have had 5 Democratic lawmakers arrested by ICE. WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING??? God this is MADDENING. We have NO ONE in office ready to lead mass movements to overthrow tyranny. FUCK THEM ALL.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This, ladies & gentlemen, is fascism. Brad Lander is the NYC Comptroller & a NYC mayoral candidate. He has been manhandled & detained by ICE. Call your 2 Senators & representative at 202-224-3121 demand Congressional oversight immediately. If it can happen to him, it can surely happen to you.
