I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Israeli attack reportedly kills 5 civilians, injures 20 in Narmak neighborhood east of Tehran.

The No Kings protest map will help you find a place to exercise your First Amendment rights this weekend. (It's also a pretty good argument against the Electoral College.) www.nokings.org

Things are heating up 🫡

Starvation. Dehydration. Malnutrition. The reality for children in Gaza is horrific. Aid at scale is urgently required in Gaza. With UNICEF spokesperson James Elder.

“There's nothing I've seen here [Gaza] that is close to other conflicts zones.” UNICEF spokesperson James Elder speaks with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social on the normalization of war crimes in Gaza and facing accusations of antisemitism for stating the facts. Watch: zeteo.com/p/show-us-th...

UNICEF's James Elder reveals Gaza's aid hunt mimics a deadly game, while global powers politicize relief. Palestinians dodge death for crumbs, as leaders play chess with their hunger. #3E

The head of the U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has resigned just weeks after its launch, citing concerns over violations of “humanitarian principles.”

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

Over 20 people have died since severe storms and tornadoes hit Kentucky and Missouri overnight. Meteorologists are beginning to survey the damage.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

At least one house in kibbutz Kfar Aza was completely destroyed by an Israeli tank on 7 October according to Israeli colonel Golan Vach. Vach made the comments in an interview with members of the press on 14 October that was recently resurfaced by Anadolu Agency.

Israeli Golan Vach stands in front of house in Kibbutz Be’eri on 14 Oct 23, in which he falsely claimed that 8 burned babies were found on 7 Oct 23. Vach & members of his family went on to participate in #warcrimes in #Gaza during #Israel ’s ongoing #genocide electronicintifada.net/content/vach...

The MAGA regime has dropped their bigoted lawsuit against Maine regarding trans athletes. When Governor Janet Mills told the orange felon to his face that she would see him in court, she meant it and she won. More of this please. 💙🍷👏

Big News 👇kudos to all the team @front-lex.bsky.social ✊ For the 1st time #Frontex is in the dock of the #CJEU. The EU judiciary must end impunity & reinstate the Law's Rule in the #EU +80,000 humans were kidnapped from EU territory by EU agents & abandoned at sea

As Israeli tanks rolled into the Sinai in the 1967 war, West Germany saw itself marching alongside them. Even former Nazis could identify with Israeli expansionism — and used this support to absolve their own pasts.

My @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social colleagues Liat Kozma and Lee Mordechai argue that the "weak international pushback highlights the low political cost of employing starvation and deprivation as a form of collective punishment and a weapon of war". #Gaza www.972mag.com/starvation-g...

UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese was being interviewed on Irish radio & the host quoted a US org that denies Israel is committing genocide, so Frances asked why he didn't quote experts on genocide like Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Lee Mordechai or Raz Segal, instead of groups with vested interests

Take this guy's expert advice: Don't fly into Newark. 😳

Do NOT fly into Newark.

Remember when #47 said air travel would be "safer"? ‘It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public. Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.” - Air Traffic Controller #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/u...

Travel nightmares! Thanks DOGE. "Controllers for Newark used to be based on Long Island before the FAA forced them to transfer. After two system outages just this week, many put in for medical leave, which led to the staffing crisis on Friday." abc7ny.com/post/newark-...

He also has a bridge in Brooklyn for sale if you’re buying this.

Now that Trump admitted he can pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back, time to press WH on the fact that their basis for refusing is the word of a cop who was indicted for serious misconduct. Trump's ABC interview is full of bullshit. My rebuttal: newrepublic.com/post/194593/...

If knee-bending Jeff Bezos and Amazon refuse to inform customers about Trump's tariffs, other companies should step in. Clearly label their added costs as TRUMP's tariffs. Slap Trump's name right on them. He's weak on this issue, not strong. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1945...

Yesterday, the President of the United States played this video to cheers while claiming Democrats are "racing to the defense of some of the most violent savages on the face of the Earth." www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... Literally a fascist rally. No other way to describe it.

RFK Jr. is ending the federal Narcan distribution program credited with the recent steep decline in overdose deaths. This despite his own past heroin addiction and his own brother dying of a drug overdose in 1984.

Harvard sued the Trump administration in federal court over multibillion dollar cuts to its research funding, accusing the White House of undertaking an arbitrary and unconstitutional campaign to “punish Harvard for protecting its constitutional rights.” www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

My shoulders are bent from fatigue and pain,my head is heavy with worries and tragedies,and I can no longer bear the pain of rheumatism. My life has become very harsh.
