Remember a month or two ago when I said I wanted people to stop publicly expressing plans to commit crimes in my notifications and some idiots accused me of capitulating in advance? No i was talking about this kind of stupid mouthing off.

NO WAR WITH IRAN. Our Members of Congress need to hear from us right now. Urge them to use their constitutional authority to prevent Trump from entering a war with Iran. Email your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran... Email your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

💯 Masked goons without proper warrants grabbing people is (or should be) un-American. Call Congress 202/224-3121: demand to know what they are doing to stop this. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (We’re taking back the flag)

I love the @aclue.bsky.social, doing god’s work (I say that ironically but not entirely). Support them if you can. New mantra: “public schools are not Sunday schools!”

Trump is mad at Biden for reappointing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who Trump nominated.

5 things Trump did this week: 1. Announced Trump brand iPhone knockoff 2. Thought the UK was the EU 3. Announced he might bomb Iran in 2 weeks 4. Left work early for his New Jersey golf club 5. Kept the Epstein files safe for 22 weeks

I revere what @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social has done and will always be grateful for his time and interviews. But I'm 66 and Andrew Cuomo is 14 months older than I am and nobody my age is "the future of the Democratic Party" and Cuomo is even less so #Zohran

Shows how much of a bubble they’re in that they don’t hear everyone saying, “Stop threatening and fucking leave already.”

It’s not just that a staggering one million New Yorkers live in mixed-status families, but 265,000 of them are children—with 80 percent of those kids being U.S. citizens. There are also complicated political dynamics that come with that melting pot.

Remember that time Elon said Donold is in the Epstein files on main? It was two weeks ago but it feels like two years. That’s intentional.

"It’s clear that '28 Years Later' is intended as a metaphor for (and critique of) Britain’s immigration debate and Brexit fights, though maintaining such a metaphor is always tricky when one side of that debate is depicted as, you know, monsters."
