The bipartisan billionaires behind Andrew Cuomo’s comeback

Ok listen, I tried to be normal and post normal today. But it’s not a normal day. Everyone knows it. Everyone feels it. Fear Anticipation Dread Anger Outrage Disgust Despair Powerlessness There’s no pain killer for this part. We must endure it. Our only choice is resilience. #strongertogether

We live in a rogue and dangerous country. Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

Kinda scary and infuriating that a politician was murdered by a 45 supporter and it's barely in the news anymore. American media is trash.

If you’re not outraged by this, you really should be.

Who could have predicted this? A bunch of assholes drunk on perceived power? www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/u...

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son. The First Amendment is not a suggestion. Mahmoud is free, and our fight for justice continues.

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

A civil war is exactly what they want.

For real tho…

I can't wait to read this and live vicariously as I take down the debt police in my mind.

Trump's America youtu.be/j7SOc_8IhSY?...

Political violence claimed the life of Rep. Melissa Hortman this weekend. She was reportedly targeted for the very values she championed. It's time to confront the growing alliance between anti-abortion extremism and political violence. Read more from Jennifer Weiss-Wolf.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Experts say that there are links from the Minnesota shooting suspect’s background to Christian nationalism that could explain why he allegedly targeted lawmakers and pro-abortion advocates. Heard of "charismatic Christianity" before? If not, this one's for you- always read @tessowen.bsky.social:

The alleged Minnesota assassin was known as a ‘deeply religious’ Christian man. That should be an alarm bell for all of us. @monacharen.bsky.social on the rising threat of homegrown extremism: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-growin...

Thank you, @qasimrashid.com 🙏

Gestapo = secret state police

Spitting in Mike Lee’s face is the most collegial gesture he deserves at this point

70,000 people marched through Seattle at the No Kings rally. It was loud, it was huge, and it was only a start. While downtown swelled with speeches, ICE tear-gassed protesters in Tukwila. Showing up once isn’t enough. The fight doesn’t end when the march does.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

“If we do not stand up to Peter Thiel, they’re going to come after all of us.” 13 people were arrested protesting Palantir’s surveillance of Americans. Palantir is profiting off of ICE raids. It’s refining its tracking techniques & gathering data at lightning speed. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

Hate to break it to you guys but they love violence, crave violence, so they create violence. This is our government.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

If you’re falling apart right now, you’re not alone. We weren’t meant to witness this much suffering and act like it’s normal. You’re not broken. The world is. And you’re one of the people refusing to forget what it means to have a soul.

YES!! Great news.

HAHAHA

Dear Kristi Noem, #NoKings

Imagine throwing a huge masturbatory birthday party that nobody came to. Meanwhile, millions of people across the world threw huge events devoted to how much of a piece of garbage you are. Oh wait.

This is what democracy looks like 👊 #nokings #protest #seattle

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

If the Democrats don't shut down the Senate. I don't want to hear anything. If any of you whine in my mentions saying 'they can't do that' you will be blocked. Schumer has been in the Senate for 90 million years he knows what to do.
