That’s the rough number of U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East, in bases from Bahrain to Syria and points in between. Not to mention U.S. citizens who live and work in the region. Commanders over the past two weeks have beefed up defenses and put troops on higher alert for attack,...

In case you were wondering why DoorDash is funding Andrew Cuomo, they want: - fewer worker protections - lower wages - higher fees on restaurants - bike safety deregulation and they know that he will deliver for them, and not New Yorkers. NYC isn’t for sale. Don’t rank Cuomo.

Trump dismantled diplomacy, gutted the national security apparatus & pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, decisions that helped destabilize the region. Now, it’s all bravado & this attack on Iran is likely to lead to a protracted conflict. This is provocation through chaos. This isn’t a “win”.

My one request to New Yorkers if Cuomo wins the election — don’t come crying to everyone in a few months when some horrific shit happens to the entire city as he enriches his donors. You know exactly what you are voting for here. Don’t later pretend you didn’t know.

on this day in 1964 "three civil rights workers, Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner, are murdered in Neshoba County, Mississippi, by white supremacists". Let us honor them by fighting against prejudice and violence today.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

I will turn 50 this September. I was born in 1975, and I represent the only generation of American women born with full rights that have been lost in the same lifetime. My generation has witnessed anti-progress. A cultivated backpedal. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

"Lander — literally and aesthetically the city’s accountant — assaulted the officers in the sense that a bully might accuse you of having gotten in the way of his fist." @PBump.com‬, finding the words, scrutinizes those ICE assault claims. 🎁 🔗 wapo.st/4l7a1ch

@tedlieu.bsky.social Congress must investigate 1) where did all of the plain clothes ICE agents come from, 2) are they being paid a bounty, and 3) when was this authorized.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

Juneteenth is a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go. Today, we’re once more committing ourselves to the work of ending systemic oppression of Black people in America. We’re not free until everyone is free.

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

1.2 million veterans rely on SNAP. 1.8 million rely on Medicaid. The "Big Beautiful Bill" puts those programs on the chopping block. All the North Korean-style theater in the world won't hide the fact that Trump’s policies would be devastating to millions who have served.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

This is a shocking development. Two leading Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota were shot in their homes early this morning by a man possibly impersonating a police officer. This is the kind of violence we have been warning about. www.fox9.com/news/brookly...
