call 311 on this encampment streets & san will have all their belongings in a dumpster by Friday

A governor told me protestors keep lighting his waymos on fire so I asked how many waymos he has and he said he just goes to the app and gets a new waymo afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding waymos to protestors and then the Statue of Liberty started crying.

You *must* swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

this is something to keep in mind: the fascism playbook doesn’t say “bait your opposition into doing what you want so that you can do more of what you want” it says “do what you want, invent a justification when needed, blame it on your opposition if useful”

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

Kind of wild that the New York Times has more sympathy for an influencer who posted child porn than it does for trans children who want to be left alone.

In order to eliminate any inconvenience to cars, we’ve made it illegal for children to be children

Human Right Watch publishes unique report on the impact of pediatric anti-care bans as a human rights abuse titled, "They’re Ruining People’s Lives” @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

groimes you haeve to come get me at Geetmo

this is like the day he got covid all over again

Enough is ENOUGH! Come out and help demand the NYT show some backbone and lose their bias, or back off.

In case you haven’t read the report, here are the headings of the report’s conclusions into Andrew Cuomo’s behavior.

Not sure anybody watches them but Zohran cooked in that debate. I now have that horrible feeling, not unlike a migraine aura, that you only get after you watch a political event and feel a tinge of hope and representation.

"What did you have for dinner last night?" "I didn't eat, but if I did, I would have swallowed a bunch of napkins."

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

When you realize they do this for fun and actually enjoy getting this reaction from transgender people, it will make it ever clearer that they know exactly what they are doing and it's not journalism.

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

If I promised to move back to NYC if Zohran wins the primary do you think that would be enough to push him over

With the #1 ranked endorsement of @nywfp.bsky.social, we’re going to turn the page on the corrupt politics of the past and win a city we can afford. Early voting starts June 14.

The kids are not the problem

This sociopath is doing this from a cemetery, all part of a huge joke about how Republicans are going to throw millions of people off of Medicaid as part of a fake austerity effort to still explode the deficit anyway through corrupt spending because they will not tax billionaires.

this was the neighborhood we moved to when we first moved here. one of the few truly walkable neighborhoods here, doing this at the beginning of the Friday dinner rush was 100% looking for a fight.

NYC progressives need to start pushing the narrative that not ranking Zohran anywhere on your ballot is the equivalent of handing the election to Cuomo, ala voting for Jill Stein in 2016/2024. He doesn't have to be your #1 choice- this is about ranked choice strategy.

for me the answer to bad tattoos is more tattoos (including, but not necessarily, coverups)

seems like the way the left could have connected with your son is when he said “I wanna be a cop to help people” the man in his life might have explained the contradiction in his statement

Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights

A high school freshman takes transphobic Maine politicians to task for bullying the trans girl who beat her in a race. Kudos to you, Anelise Feldman.

Dear Democrats: People fucking hate bullies and bigots. Defend the most vulnerable with all your strength and win some damn elections for a change.

Everyone seems very worried about "Gosh, well what do we tell the transphobic people to get them to vote for Democrats?" Tell them to get the fuck over it. Tell them, straight to their faces, "I feel embarrassed for you that this is a thing you are whining about."

“Thank you for your attention to this matter”

I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job

"We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did." cc @mcclellan.house.gov

Cuomo's improper coordination with a MAGA-backed super PAC just cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars in matching funds — just a month after his campaign failed to follow basic filling instructions. We don't need another Mayor who thinks the rules don't apply to him.

this is not true either legally or in a colloquial sense, but an NYT reporter says it like he's telling you the weather.

This summary article should be your go-to link for giving to people when explaining why the Cass Scandal is so bad

Good thing the Washington Post has already completely torched its credibility. It's a right wing rag running cover for this administration. No one is otherwise taking this seriously.

Very good rundown of all the reasons Andrew Cuomo was a disaster for the city as governor and would be an even bigger one as mayor. Please spread the word: Do not rank Cuomo. There are very competent people running, especially Brad Lander, who deserve people's votes. Cuomo does not.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
