Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

If New Yorkers are wondering who will fight back against Federal overreach, we have visible evidence today that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander are the candidates that you should rank 1 or 2 Lander literally resisted federal overreach and Mamdani showed up immediately to have his back Fuck Cuomo

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

So we have a US official in Germany saying they are “just following orders” in denying Harvard-bound scholars visas despite a federal judge’s restraining order www.masslive.com/news/2025/06...

Over and over and over again, a murderous state slaughters civilians And what is the political climate in the country that gives them billions in weapons? Even pointing this out labels you a “terrorist” by the leadership of both major parties & maybe gets you imprisoned We live in grotesque times

Just a reminder that Iran had a secular government that was overthrown by the US and UK in 1953 and the Shah, this man's dad, was installed. The Shah regime was an ally of Israel's, and the BBC just platformed his son to say that bombing Iran is something Iranians are happy about.

@stephanienolen.bsky.social's piece on the destruction of the South African biomedical research effort by the Trump Administration is a must-read. Please circulate. This is a disaster for South Africa AND the world. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/h...

Lest it be said I only share bad news, here’s something good. An immigration judge in NYC has reopened the case of a 20-year-old Bronx high school student, a Venezuelan migrant that ICE detained and planned to subject to expedited removal. Her decision halts that. www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/16/n...

Incredibly proud to endorse my former colleague Assemblymember @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for Mayor. We fought side by side for debt relief for our taxi drivers. We camped out in the war room together to fight Cuomo’s terrible budget that hurt New Yorkers. I KNOW Zohran will fight for us.

I cannot believe they are evacuating Tehran! That’s like an order to evacuate New York! What is this world coming to?!!

I’m watching the Panama v Guadeloupe Gold Cup game on TV as we speak. It is being played in Los Angeles. And the stadium is almost completely empty. A sport that in the U.S. is highly dependent on Latino audiences is no longer viable. The World Cup cannot come here.

This is legitimately terrifying. Almost 10 million people live within the city limits of Tehran with another almost 7 million additional people in the metro area. There are 8 million people in NYC. How the FUCK would we all be able to "evacuate" with no notice??? THIS IS EVIL. PERIOD.

Just learned from @katiehonan.bsky.social that Andrew Cuomo didn’t show up for his scheduled interview with the New York Editorial Board this morning. (That’s the independent org of veteran journalists trying to fill the gap left by NYT edit board.)

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

This isn't all of the story, but a surprisingly big part of the "fear" of Mamdani isn't actually that he'll institute full communism, it's that people's friends-and-influence groups will be demoted from their positions of authority

The DOJ is arguing that Harvard doesn't have any evidence that Trump banned student visas to Harvard out of retaliation, which, lol.

What I learned today is that the @nytopinion.nytimes.com doesn’t believe in young people of color in leadership. Time and time again people tout “seniority” and “experience”. 75 years ago, there were no women of color elected in NY. Where is “seniority” or “experience” to come from for us?

Trump just openly endorsed "remigration," the vile goal of white nationalist extremists, and media yawned. On the pod, @willsommer.bsky.social is just fascinating on this idea and on the violent lawlessness and sadism at the core of MAGA. Don't miss this one: newrepublic.com/article/1968...

You could rank the @nywfp.bsky.social slate or the @jfrejnyc.bsky.social one because you love NYC and think we deserve good leadership that cares about working people and justice (and isn't a sex pest). Or you could do it to vex the NYT editorial board. I'm going to do it for both reasons

I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.

"To everyone who pulls me aside to whisper with the best intentions 'You have already won', I am sorry, but the days of moral victories are over. And as my father told me years ago, 'When the Right wins power, the Left writes a great book.' Those days are over too." -Zohran Mamdani

The last decade has been disappointing so we should…. elect the guy who was in power for more than half of the last decade & whose spitefulness, incompetence & pettiness is a major reason why that’s the case?? Come ON.
