Take note.

It really is this simple

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

“Taken together, Mamdani’s responsibly costed economic policies form a coherent agenda that rejects austerity and embraces the city’s power to make life more affordable for New Yorkers.”

New Yorkers need to read this. www.ynetnews.com/article/rkih...

I doubt there's a single undecided voter in NYC who cares what Jim Clyburn thinks but its a good indication of the desperation and "all hands on deck" push coming from the establishment to make sure they rescue Cuomo's incompetent campaign and prevent a progressive from becoming mayor.

Violence against women should be disqualifying for holding public office. It should have been disqualifying for Trump, and it should be disqualifying for Cuomo. And if you come at me saying that sexual harassment isn’t really violence against women… Don’t.

Pollsters the original influencers

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

Juneteenth honors the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. If that offends you, it says more about you than it does about the holiday. Outrage at Juneteenth is itself an outrage.

So…here’s what I’m thinking. #ICE has got. To. BE. STOPPED! Con le buone o le cattive (as we say in Italy, “with good manners or bad!” 😒 But ICE has GOT to be STOPPED! And it’s basically a question of getting organized to help your neighbors. There are apps being born… 🧵 laist.com/news/politic...

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

🖤 Don’t know what Juneteenth is? You’re not alone. These slides give a brief history of Juneteenth, for anyone who was never taught or just wants to understand it better. Happy #Juneteenth! #BlackHistory #FreedomDay

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Acknowledging the reality! Amen.

Warren G is doing a special show at the Blue Note NYC tonight. Check out his People's Party interview today. #peoplesparty youtu.be/loVc4_4PwBI?...

All of these things should be public utilities. These are the things government should exist to do. Some things simply shouldn't be for-profit endeavors. Providing clean, safe water should not be done for profit. Keeping lights on should not be for profit. Healthcare should not be for profit.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

We are Americans around the world and we showed up today! #democratsabroad #notyrants

This is dope show up

"In a previously unreported development, federal agents came to suspect that Bukele and members of his inner circle had diverted US aid funds to the gang." Read the whole investigation, republished from @propublica.org ⬇️

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

When you look at Trump's cratering immigration numbers, remember what Zohran Mamdani was already doing three months ago — while the rest of the Democratic party was still twiddling their thumbs on detaining student protestors and giving ICE more power:

By the way, if Bluesky was as unpopular, failing, and one-sided as the editorials say it is then they wouldn’t even write editorials about it, let alone a new one every few days/weeks
