The last time I remember someone being called the king of New York it was John Gotti and he died in prison, so, you know, fingers crossed.

I'm about to drop some random scripts and carousels tonight. It's not going to be as orderly as I normally am; there's just a LOT going on. But follow this thread. Script 1: RFK has made it through committee. CALL. YOUR. SENATORS. We have to do everything in our power to defeat him.

Trump got nothing out of his threats to put tariffs on Mexico and Canada that those countries weren't already doing. It's the political equivalent of Arturas Karnisovas having to trade for his own first round draft pick last night.

If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead. You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

The corporate coup is global. Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it. They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule. They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

To everyone who says Democrats have no power: Do they have less political power and fewer tools at their disposal than Black Americans in the Jim Crow south?

"HOW COULD A HELICOPTER CRASH INTO AN AIRPLANE!!" Well, you see, the President of the United States and the Transportation Secretary are both former reality tv stars and the Secretary of Defense is an alcoholic.

I’m not sure I’d waste any of my life trying to argue with one of them, but spare a moment to laugh bitterly at the people who claimed the two parties are exactly the same.

"Fascism is imperialism turned inward" is still one of the most succinct definitions, and it hits just as hard as all of Eco's 14 traits put together. From a materialist standpoint, "imperialism turned inward" is really all one needs to know.

Before it's disappeared, just downloaded the video of a historic Library of Congress #poetry reading I was part of with Joan Larkin, @dapowell.bsky.social, and Kamilah Aisha Moon #QDEP. It was the first official #Pride event to take place in a federal building. 1/2 www.loc.gov/item/2021689...

True! Dan, Joan and our late friend Kamilah made history, thanks to the Library of Congress. The record of our Pride event...first ever inside a Federal building...is likely to be erased. I hope other libraries will hold onto our LGBT history and preserve it for future generations. 🏳️‍🌈
