Wow. Andrew Cuomo cares so little about the city he wants to govern that he used ChatGPT to write his housing policy plan, didn't proofread it, and then lied about it when he was caught.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

We know that smaller class sizes and more resources in schools lead to more academic achievement and more opportunities for kids. This investment in NYC classrooms will make a huge difference. @UFTNYC.bsky.social abc7ny.com/post/nyc-pub...

The scary concept of acid rain helped drive a successful campaign to regulate emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. Will plastic rain finally convince us enough is enough? 120 million water bottles are falling from the sky over our national parks and wilderness areas.

But the STUDENTS with their little TENTS and the way they fed the HUNGRY and held TEACH INS

JUST IN: Three days after a judge awarded $6.6 million to whistleblowers fired for reporting him to the FBI for allegedly using his office to protect a prominent real estate developer in exchange for helping him cheat on his state senator wife, Ken Paxton announces he is running for US Senate.

NYC public libraries have been underfunded for too long. New Yorkers, please write a letter telling NYC's mayoral candidates that our libraries deserve at least half of 1% of the annual city expense budget (0.5%) in the upcoming budget and into the future. It takes 2 minutes.

🚨 SCOOP: Acting IRS chief Melanie Krause plans to quit after the agency agreed to share confidential tax info with immigration officials to aid in deportations. She also clashed with DOGE over plans for IRS's future & orders to cut staff. **Three IRS leaders have quit since Trump took office.**

Meanwhile, a black lung epidemic is tearing through Appalachia, killing men as young as their 30s. And the Trump admin just defunded NIOSH, the worker health agency that’s been tracking it. inthesetimes.com/article/coal...

Again: citizen expulsion is a violation of every international law the US is party to and broadly considered a crime against humanity.

They are now estimating 2.3 million across the country. Keep it going folks. #handsoff #50501protests

Today is one of those moments where you can feel the start of a new chapter in the Trump era. People gathered in all 50 states to tell Elon and Trump #HandsOff.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

Peggy Flanagan, who is White Earth Nation, and has been Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor since 2019, is running for U.S. Senate. If she wins, she will be the first Native woman to serve in the Senate.

NEW: “Persistent leaks” and “unaddressed contamination issues” are among the problems workers say they witnessed at one of the nation’s largest baby formula plants. “I can’t have this on my conscience,” one told ProPublica. By @heathervogell.bsky.social

The next election that could see Musk’s millions: the DA race in Philadelphia. Larry Krasner, whom Musk has clashed with, is up for re-election on May 20. Wrote about it briefly in early January: boltsmag.org/2025-crimina...

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Ask for forgiveness NOT PERMISSION.

Orban gets rushed out of Budapest in a motorcade as his attempt to outlaw protests is totally ignored. Putin's puppet is likely finished. Just a matter of time now.

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats. This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."

Booker, just minutes away from the speaking record: "This is when the most precious ideas of our country are being tested, where the Constitution and the question is being called -- Where does the constitution live? On paper? Or in our hearts? This is the moment."

As he breaks Strom Thurmond's record filibuster against the the Civil Rights Act of 1957, Sen. Cory Booker says that he's "not here though because of his speech, I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful."

CORY BOOKER MAY GO FOR ANOTHER HOUR. I ain't never seen a more tired awake person in my life. #GoodTrouble

The Democratic Party is suing President Donald Trump over his sweeping executive order last week that attempted to wrest control of elections from the states. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Dustin did an incredibly brave thing If you see someone doing an incredibly brave thing, what is your plan to help? How many times do we have to see something before we risk ourselves for our neighbors? I'm not trying to be cruel. But we all need practice.

It would be good for Americans to realize, before it's too late, that the anger in 🇨🇦 & other countries is not just due to Trump. He is the living embodiment of the Dennis Green Unified Theory Of 🇺🇸 Politics. What's making others rightly angry is that everyone else in 🇺🇸 is cravenly tolerating this.

Hey, New York ⬇️

Does Pete Hegseth care that he put the lives of our servicemembers at greater risk? It's unacceptable.   Everyone in that Signal chat needs to lose their jobs.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Enthusiastic Tesla Takedown in Manhattan #teslatakedown

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

20 minutes ago here in Venetie, Alaska, the skies erupted in a beautiful auroral substorm. Here is just one of many real-time videos I recorded during the show to give you a sense of how fast and dynamic the aurora can move.

BREAKING: Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek says he is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency. Dudek told the Washington Post: “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

With its measles outbreak spreading to two additional states, Texas is on track to becoming the cause of a national epidemic if it doesn’t start vaccinating more people, according to public health experts.

So it took all of a week to decide he can deport Americans

National Republican Campaign Chair Richard Hudson told his members not to hold townhalls anymore, so his constituents are putting one on for him anyway tonight in Southern Pines, NC.

It's on. This is our biggest candidate recruitment push ever. Apply: wfpus.org/RunWithWFP

Hey yall so um…any of you guys got $53,000 you could give me so I can donate menstrual products to over a dozen women’s transitional housing facilities and 3 new prisons around the country? thurmanperryfoundation.org

FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU

Everyone’s focused on congestion pricing but don’t miss the Williams & Constitution pipeline stuff. Trying to blackmail NY to approve fossil fuel infrastructure.

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points. She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine. “Deport Elon, Deport Elon!” Watch to the end…

So how do the potential federal cuts — and the uncertainty around them — affect New York City? We spoke to a group of budget experts to try and find out.

It’s not enough that Musk is ruining his business brand. He’s ruining the Being Rich brand for all the oligarchs amongst all the voters.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)
