If you’re under 30, you weren’t even born the last time Andrew Cuomo lived here. This is your city. Vote like it.

I'm 100 percent confident that this is totally above board and in no way is corrupt, no sir. nypost.com/2025/06/19/u...

Back in April, the Trump Admin gave states a choice: comply with ICE, or lose funding for roads, bridges and public transit. That ultimatum is completely illegal, a federal judge just ruled:

The Dodgers were supposed to announce an initiative to support immigrant communities today. They are delaying that announcement due to the feds showing up to Dodger Stadium today, according to team president Stan Kasten.

wow, person struck by lightning a mile away. 5th Ave. at E96th St., in Central Park. hope they're ok.

Now that ICE is gone from Gate E at Dodger Stadium the peaceful protest is breaking up.

federal agents at Dodger Stadium.

Happy Juneteenth, everybody! Our Black liberation includes exercising the franchise – We know the work continues, but only you get to decide who the leaders will be! So make sure you have a plan to vote and let’s finish this thing strong! #juneteenth

OOH we love a new sock technique! From Amanda Schwabe, a new heel that works toe-up and top-down. It's like other short-row heels, with 2 significant differences: first, short row turns are on the outsides of the heel, so there are no gaps and it makes really cool stripes. 🧶

katy perry: "do you ever feel like a plastic bag?" no! because it takes a plastic bag centuries to break down whereas it takes just one minor inconvenience for me

Israel has just murdered the captain of Palestine’s volleyball team.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate our progress toward equality in our nation. We recognize both how far we have come and the work we still have to do. We will continue our march forward, toward a country that delivers true equality and freedom for Black Americans.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

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.

It’s Juneteenth Freedom Day, and I voted for myself on the ballot. It’s a wonderful sight to behold—and even more special to share the moment with my pal William Brown, who ran the shelter and food pantry with me at St. Mary’s Church. It’s beautiful all around.

indeed it is! in case preview fails: 1. SpaceX Starship 13.9K posts 🔥Hot

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

the assassination of MN rep. hortman & her husband was my fort sumter. we're in a(n un)civil war. act like it! block on sight; do not engage. moderation tools like labels & blocklists help you tend your victory garden. the community we are growing threatens fascists. let's fucking grow.

this morning, i left voicemail for @repespaillat.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov asking for a callback or email with their position on these pieces of legislation & what steps they are taking to de-escalate our headlong rush to war with Iran.

Local rain and a world on fire didn't stop Penny and her BFF Rainier from enjoying their romp through the woods today.

An account I enjoy on Tumblr, @why-animals-do-the-thing, has made a request (for once) instead of answering everyone's questions with fun science posts. They volunteer for this nonprofit, and they're asking folks to follow its new Bluesky account. If they're for it, I'm for it. So here's a plug.

my fellow train lovers, start here!! magnificent thread.

if i unblock & reblock really fast, will that drive his block count up? if we all do it at once, will the mass blocking reverberate back through time, like superman reversing the world by spinning it backwards?
