Democrats: "The Republicans have us beat. How do we use social media to reach young voters and re-energize our party?" [Zohran Mamdani posts 90-second IG reel explaining rent control, gets 74,000 likes in 5 minutes.] Democrats: "No, not like that!"

Trying to pass out Rank the Slate lit while unmoored "Vote here" signs periodically whipped past me this morning. Thank goodness for the shelter of scaffolding in the storm. Today's the last day of early voting, NYC!

New reason not to rank Cuomo just dropped.

Had to rip off a bunch of Zohran Mamdani slander stickers today. Some were pretty vile. Get out and vote, NYC! Rank Zohran, Brad Lander, Zellnor Myrie, Adrienne Adams, Michael Blake - but do NOT rank gross Cuomo who is disgusting and is running a disgusting campaign.

When people support Andrew Cuomo, what they’re saying implicitly is that they don’t care about the women he’s already sexually harassed and retaliated against and they won’t care if he does it again. It’s a political stance that enables discrimination against women in government

Lander is the guy who gives the whole thing away: he's extremely experienced, he's successfully promoted development and housing expansion—and yet the people who say those are what matters are throwing their money and grievance behind a washed-up ghoul they trucked in from Westchester

Tucker Carlson, of all people, showing how easy it can be to pop the bullshit bubble if you don’t mind making a liar angry should shame every White House reporter.

Brad Lander released from ICE detention! Speaking to the rally crowd now about his experience and emphasizing how lucky he is that he doesn't have to sleep on a detention room floor like others arrested today.

Big and growing crowd at Foley Square, next to 26 Federal Plaza, where our comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE thugs for asking if they had a warrant.

Fascist escalation in progress! Rapid Response Rally to #FreeBradLander now in FOLEY SQ around the corner from Federal Plaza. Folks, this is why we marched Saturday. Time to show up again and say #NoKings! #NoFascism! #NoICE!

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

For Dems to even consider a comeback for Cuomo after his serial predation of women, is for Dems to also say that EVERYTHING they claim to believe about equality and women’s rights to be safe in the workplace was bullshit. Do they even get the level of hypocrisy?

LOOK AT THIS SHIT: Marines and ICE team up in a show of force, turning a community swap meet into a surveillance operation. Witnesses say people were cornered, forced to identify themselves, and had their photos taken — without suspicion or a warrant. This is a police state.

I feel like this answers a question I've had for years now, which is "Do Dem electeds ever confront their colleagues over their putrid online behavior?" Good for Smith here, but this needs to be happening constantly from all Dems. Quit letting them get away with this stuff.

The sheer lack of “Mike Lee and Elon Musk celebrate assassination of Democrats” headlines right now suggests we need to capture and purge every news outlet.

Senate Dems, you need to do something about this - start holding your "colleagues" accountable. Bring this up to reporters non-stop, tell every GOP member to their face that you know they revel in this violence. Be angry. @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @chuckschumer.com

The claim isn’t that memes sway elections, but that human beings are propelled by the ideas in their heads, and the ideas get in their heads mostly through social mechanisms and communication, and very rarely by independently observing changes in their surroundings and drawing a conclusion.

Arturo Obrego, a 77-year-old army veteran who hitchiked from Huntington Beach is going viral for getting hit with wooden baton by officers on horses and knocked down during today’s peaceful “No Kings” protest in DTLA. @TheGlutster ran into him at Union Station a couple of hours after the incident.
