Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.

remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"

Kirsten Gillibrand on WNYC won’t endorse Mamdani. Said she doesn’t endorse NYC mayoral races (she endorsed Adams in 2021), and is waiting to see who runs on what line. What a fucking disgrace.

🚨 🚨 🚨 @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social just implied on the Brian Lehrer show that Zohran Mamdani is affiliated with Hamas and/or promotes violent jihad! ☎️ ☎️ Call her office right now to decry this unprecedented intraparty attack on the duly elected Democratic candidate for Mayor of NYC! 1/2

I’ve seen lots of nonsense since Mamdani’s primary victory but the most irritating thread is people claiming they will leave NY if he is mayor. First of all, Go! It’s fine. It’s FINE. Go swelter in FL or wherever. No one cares. And secondly shut up. You’re lying. You aren’t going anywhere.

Mayor Adams hired campaign consultant accused of strangling girlfriend in SoHo hotel https://gothamist.com/news/mayor-adams-hired-campaign-consultant-accused-of-strangling-girlfriend-in-soho-hotel

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years. Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

The last 24 hours have been hard to believe. The outpouring of love & support has made me tear up again and again. My heart can barely contain it all. I thank everyone who has fought alongside us and helped make this moment possible. You are making a better future possible.

“Fine, we’ll go with the guy who takes bribes.”

congratulations to andrew cuomo's daughter for getting her apartment back

Schumer not even congratulating!!! Just making it about himself lmao gosh he needs to GO.

you must allow me to do this one time and i promise i'll never do it again. NEW YORK CITY GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD BABY CHRYSLER BUILDING LEMME GET A BAGEL WITH LOX UNTOASTED IM WALKIN HERE WE ARE HAPPY TO SERVE YOU CAWFEE THE 4 TRAIN STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOLD YOUR PIZZA IF YOU CAN MAKE IT HERE BABY

Careful guys, if you don’t control migration you might turn out like <checks notes> the greatest, wealthiest city in the world.

On trend to have its lowest crime rate in recorded history? Save me from all this safety!

From a key Mamdani adviser ❤️

Nothing but respect for MY 1B candidate

Pretty awesome to see a universal rebuke of the pervert online. Democrats hate him, Republicans also pretty much hate him. This isn’t even just NYC either, energy is across the country. Only losers are rich dudes and sex pests. Unreal vibes.

So happy about Mamdani winning the primary.

Survivors: we fight and win together. You are never forgotten. ✊✊✊

Problem at the polling site? Call (866) 868-3692 to notify the Board of Elections!

Lindsey Boylan has been tirelessly driving this message home since Cuomo first announced, all while knowing first-hand how he and his loyalists smear women who tell the truth. And she’s never backed down, even when pundits were portraying him as inevitable. Please, NYC - don’t screw this up.

A message from Bernie. zohranfornyc.com/vote

BRING IT HOME, MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS!!!!!! Zohran for Mayor!!!

Masha Gessen looks at the largely blatantly racist and often psychotic attacks on Zohran Mamdani, much of which appear to be an effort to capitalize off of Trump's campaign that, like this, actually have nothing to do with anti-Semitism. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o...

Thanks to @willbunch.bsky.social for the extremely generous shout-out (and for his great piece on the stakes of the NYC mayoral primary): www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Every Mamdani proposal is met with a chorus of "How are you going to pay for it?" Meanwhile...

Cuomo has always hated NYC & perhaps nowhere is it more obvious than housing. “It was part of a pattern during Cuomo’s tenure of shifting the cost of social services from the state onto the city, according to those policy experts and homeless advocates.” www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Right Way: Mamdani “Trump’s… unconstitutional military action represents a dark new chapter in his endless betrayals that now threaten to plunge the world deeper into chaos.” Wrong Way: Cuomo “I think the world is a safer place.”

AOC: “grounds for impeachment” Jeffries: “Trump needs to explain”

Has a Dem introduced a "no law enforcement with masks, no I.D.s and a right to hold you indefinitely" bill? Or put more simply, "defund ICE"?

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Is it weird that the speech pattern of @bradlander.bsky.social is getting kinda ASMRy for me?

Donald Trump is launching a billionaire-funded PAC to get rid of the *only Republican in Congress* who's spoken out against another reckless US war. Do you get the message yet?

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

Lorde for Zohran 🗳️

Democratic clubs and politicians that haven't put out statements that serial sexual harassment is disqualifying for public office are shitting on what it means to be a Democrat.

“Why’s it hard to find good music? Why are so many cable and streaming tv stations one show crap? Why aren’t there more mid-budget fun films?” All leads back to this one stupid bill.

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.
