This is not the United States I wanted to live in. It's not the United States I wanted my kids to become adults and live out their lives in. But it's the United States we've got right now, and we need to keep alive the hope we can make it the one we do want, and work to achieve that.

Last night, @bradlander.bsky.social and I exposed Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace on the debate stage. With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

Not even @betoorourke.bsky.social was handcuffed when he called out Greg Abbott in the middle of his press conference in Uvalde and he isn’t a standing US Senator. That’s why it was all the more spine chilling to see Senator Alex Padilla pushed to the ground. This isn’t normal!

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Kids, I’m a little concerned about the provision in the B.B. Bill that allows the Executive to ignore judicial decisions. Without the courts to slow this senile sociopath down, we could all be right fucked, as the Brits say.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

okay but the thing about the CIA is that the mythology of the agency belies the reality, which is that for much of its existence it was a rubber room for WASP failsons and their operations reflect this

I believe we're going to see a major escalation in government-sponsored violence in the coming weeks. I'm not sure what we do to prepare ourselves, but I do know we must be courageous & stand up for our beliefs & for the marginalized anywhere we can as loudly as we can.
