*This* is why they are freaking out about Zohran Mamdani.

"Despite having hailed D.C. as “proud sanctuary city” in the past, Bowser quietly removed a city website that touted its support for immigrants and stopped using the phrase “sanctuary city.” But the mayor’s push to repeal the sanctuary-city law fell flat with most lawmakers and many advocates..."

More like “Because of his work history, Baker was moved to the Gresham District tactical team, a group of officers who aggressively jump out of unmarked SUVs to frisk Black people.”

Of course he was assigned to the south side. There's an off chance someone on the north side would be believed if he hurt them.

Turns out the cop who shot & killed his partner was a clown who probably should have been fired when he was a probationary officer.

University Presidents typically are spineless and craven, and you are seeing what we in the trenches know well play out publicly.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

my neighbour is chopping wood and judging by the sounds, is also experiencing either an incredible orgasm or a potentially fatal heart attack.

Begging to be primaried.

I truly believe the most important thing for regular people to understand right now is that, with very very few exceptions, our current elected officials, democrat and republican, will defend the status quo long before they will defend you. I don’t think we can rely on them for help.

I just can’t get over how broken the federal courts are as a result of today’s ruling. Citizenship depending on which county your in? The president openly ignoring the Constitution, knowing the victims can’t enforce their rights? A million potential federal plaintiffs with trivial claims?

At some point it’s not even a blep anymore it’s just rude.

make him a king!

These people are going to have 75% of the city turning out to vote for Zohran in November. In a city where few people actually vote, lol

Here is a *good thing*. I put together a FREE TOOLKIT with the Brooklyn Public Library's Books Unbanned team to help raise and support the next generation of anti-book ban, pro-library advocates. Check it out: bookriot.com/freedom-to-r...

We fought a fucking near decade long war so we would have no kings here. What the fuck.

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

This tiger-footed rage of mine may yet heat a furnace so hot it burns me too.

Imma be honest, Bill, it’s a lot of curse words

I'm Freezing Rents pitch after the Polar Bear plunge? This guy is amazing. Dumps an entire Neti Pot with the words CONGESTION PRICING written on it up his nose: <hacking and coughing> EVERYONE HATES CONGESTION

Absent-mindedly eating a few calculator buttons before remembering you're not supposed to do that

"I'm building great showers in my concentration camp." Sure. That works.

people: mamdani is going to turn NYC into a theocracy!!!! SCOTUS: it's ok if ur religion thinks being gay is evil and don't want ur kids to read about it in school

Illegitimate court. Illegitimate government. It will require a massive grassroots movement by the people.

“This administration will dehumanize, detain and disappear our entire culture. We cannot afford to be at war with each other while our real opps are preparing for war against us all.” thetriibe.com/2025/02/the-...

How now, how now, what say the citizens?

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

This is the Jewish leadership we need now. Thank you @bradlander.bsky.social

you can't tell me these mfs don't know theyre evil when theyre out here naming their toys megatron and palantir and shit

As a rule I'm violently allergic to open letters, but I finally signed one.

The Supreme Court is setting up a de facto presidential dictatorship, in which the president is immune to the law, can openly defy courts with no consequences, and courts are not even empowered to order him to stop disobeying the Constitution.

As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?

The attacks against Zohran Mamdani are Islamophobic & disgusting. These people are cowards, too afraid to debate Mr. Mamdani on the facts, so they resort to this kind of vile & depraved rhetoric. Debate the man on his ideas or sit this one out.

Please know this is not a book banning case. This is a case about public education. That distinction does matter–doesn't make it easier to take, but this isn't carte blanche for book banning. It is more likely it allows for further opting out of public education based on 'religious' claims.

I am not a particularly nice person and I REALLY want to ask the people who told me this wouldn't happen how they're feeling now.

In an August 2024 hidden-camera recording, now-OMB Director Russ Vought explained that age verification laws are just pretext to shut down porn sites.

Hiii if you’re in town for #ALAAC25, I’m doing a little book signing on Monday at 11am, and will be floating around all weekend—always happy to share Philly tips and restaurant recommendations if you’ve never been here before! 🦅

They said they were going to do stuff like this in Project 2025 and we all said, he that’s bad, and then they said, that’s not what we’re going to do, and then the press just fell for it again and now we don’t have climate dot hecking gov.

This gives me such evil joy

Let me be clear that Illinois will protect you and your care. I'll keep fighting to make sure Illinoisans and those who come to our state can receive the care they need from the providers they trust.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops
