We only rate dogs. This is Chewbacca having a spa day. He's trying to relax. Please give him some privacy. 13/10

“One former aide to Cuomo told me that the two seem to understand each other. ‘When he talks to Trump, he calls him ‘boss,’ the former Cuomo aide said. ‘I’ve never heard him call anyone else ‘boss..I think he and Trump get along very well—he kind of admires him.”

Klobuchar voted to confirm another Trump nomination just yesterday

“THE CITY spoke with several dazed and damp-eyed family members throughout the course of the afternoon, trying to figure out news of their loved ones who had appeared in court only to be whisked out of view.” Horrifying.

“Al-Nasasra took cover on the ground, at the back of the ambulance. He tried to hide and to protect himself as much as he could, digging himself into the ground. The body of Mohammed al-Heila, another aid worker killed, was above him.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.

He’s a fucking predator with horrible policies, but he’s also completely not at all a New Yorker in any way.

This man is not a New Yorker. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/n...

How to responsibly get rid of the stuff you’ve decluttered

Almost every NYPD cop charged with excessive force during the George Floyd protests escaped serious discipline, a review by THE CITY found

"One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" - Omar El Akkad

New York, I’m not here to play the game. I’m here to change it. I’m running to be your next Governor. youtu.be/SKt8PBSuIqw

Andrew Cuomo knows: moving to New York City can be hard. But voting here shouldn’t be. 🏠 Already registered here? Update your address by June 9th 🧳 New or never registered? You must register by June 14th Head to zohranfornyc.com/vote. We’ve got an affordable city to win.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Watched a doc on Charlotte von Mahlsdorf - a trans woman who survived the Nazis (beat her own Nazi father to death!), survived a brutally homophobic regime in East Germany, and then had to survive skinhead attacks, but never stopped finding and loving other queer people, and creating her own worlds.

Gender affirming care is *not illegal* in 31 states. This FBI announcement is designed to make it sound like a ban on gender affirming care is the law of the land. It is not. Besides which, surgical procedures are almost never performed on trans people younger than 18.

Queer and trans anti-Zionist Jews have no pride in Israeli genocide and apartheid.

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

Few have fought the oligarchy and stood up for the working class quite like Shawn Fain and the men and women of UAW. Andrew Cuomo is for the billionaires. Our campaign is for you. Let's win this together.

NEW: A review by THE CITY of thousands of pages of court documents paints the most complete picture of how intensely he is battling the women who stepped forward. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/02/c...

at some point, you have to hand it to them. their commitment to doing nothing extends to even acting to protecting themselves.

Quid pro Cuomo. "Many of the donations came after Mr. Cuomo made a rare appearance at the Real Estate Board of New York, where Politico reported that he expressed regret for signing rent reforms as governor that landlords bitterly opposed."

There are 26 days until the Democratic mayoral primary, and the frontrunner in the race, Andrew Cuomo, has yet to hold an actual press conference inviting reporters to question his positions and priorities. This is not normal.

NEW: Of the 238 men deported to the prison in El Salvador, DHS data shows: • 130 had no U.S. criminal histories aside from immigration violations; • 32 had been convicted of crimes in the U.S.; • 6 of those were violent crimes.

"More than 30 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire on Sunday as they went to receive food at an aid distribution point set up by an Israeli-backed foundation in Gaza, with a hospital run by the Red Cross confirming it was treating many wounded." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Good afternoon, Bed-Stuy.

News reports from Israel and the U.S. increasingly difficult to differentiate at first glance.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

Chat, est-ce vrai?

Missed this one in the Trump firehose: the administration has cancelled a contract for Moderna to develop a bird flu vaccine. America will also no longer buy up supplies of vaccines in advance of a pandemic. I joke with a friend that America just wants to kill you but now it’s official.

This should make us all mad as hell. Don’t think when politicians are allowed to do whatever they want that they won’t do whatever they want to any of us.

It was wonderful to meet with voters and small business owners on Staten Island this afternoon, and to spend time with Rev. Dr. Demetrius S. Carolina of the First Baptist Central Church. I look forward to coming back soon!

The Working Families Party has fought for a more affordable New York for decades. I am honored to lead their slate as their first choice for Mayor. Our city is done with the corrupt politics of the past and ready for a new generation of leadership. Let’s win it together.

Cuomo is currently leading the final round by 55-45. A month ago it was 70-30. This is a totally winnable race for Zohran.

HOLY FUCK. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Jerry Nadler is the former chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Today DHS agents stormed his office looking for protesters, and terrorized and handcuffed a staffer.

5 borough day. 24 days left. 8 points away. let’s do this 🫡 zohranfornyc.com/events
