This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

NEW: On Thursday, Comptroller Brad Lander joined the court-watchers at 290 Broadway, one of the city's three federal immigration court buildings, and walked with immigrants away from their court appearances in order to deter ICE agents from abducting them. hellgatenyc.com/lander-accom...

Welp. There it is. (And the #MAGAMurderBill would already trigger $535 billion in Medicare cuts via PAYGO rules anyway)

Amazing. Respect the lede.

BIG NEWS: Big Crypto is going in to win a US Senate Seat in Michigan to elect Florida's Mike Rogers And if they win this seat, there's little hope of winning back the Senate this decade and maybe even next. This needs to wake Democrats up. Unchecked crypto means Republican domination forever.

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

the irony here is that trump, who has such enormous anxiety over his 2020 loss and the perception that he won 2016 with Russian help, has now created a situation for himself where Musk can cast a cloud over his 2024 victory as well

Hi! I specialize in medication toxicity. All available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines. Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

Fuck Elon Musk

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

The FEMA head didn’t know about hurricane season and they’ve gutted NOAA weather monitoring. Musk and RFK eviscerated our public health programs. The FAA is in shambles. Trump’s tariff reckoning is coming due. And the DHS head of counterterrorism is a 22-year-old bro. This summer is going to ROCK!

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

The US dollar: * worst performing G10 currency this year * tracking for its worst year-to-date performance since 1975. 🇺🇸

Goldman on Trump's travel plan: "It's pretty consistent with what his 'immigration policy' is, which is just essentially to keep anybody who's not white out of the country."

My latest: Jasmine Crockett is clear choice to lead Oversight Dems I told you I wouldn’t pick sides in this race because I don’t have a vote. Then I realized it’s up to all of us to make sure our party gets this one right. 3,421 words. Please consider reading and passing this along!

Breaking News: This travel ban is a distraction from the "Big, Beautiful Bill", and the MSM is falling for it. Don't fall for the okey-doke. Keep hammering on what this bill is going to do. Enrich the wealthy even more, and steal money from the less fortunate. Don't get distracted!

on the one hand, i *want* to believe eventually people will smarten up to politico’s game. but on the other, i’m trans and i’ve watched everyone left of george w bush engage in good faith with the NYT op-eds for 20 years, so.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 82 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

NEW: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating violent extremism.

POCAN: Is the federal govt currently spending less this year than it did last year? VOUGHT: No, it's not POCAN: Part of that is because you've sent us a recession package worth $9b that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster, but you've added $200b to Defense and Homeland Security.

Pocan dominated Vought during this exchange about the BS Vought is spreading about how the reconciliation won't add to the national debt

You might be cool, but are you “DJ and erotic novelist witch smuggle drones into Russia, crippling a third of Putin’s bomber fleet and inflicting $7 billion worth of damage, after slipping back across the border to post selfies in your Marvel undies” cool?

BREAKING: New COVID Variant NB.1.8.1 Detected in California; Health Officials Warn It's More Transmissible Than Previous Strains.

🚨WOW. It turns out that a "Tren de Aragua gathering" the Trump admin said it broke up in March ... was just a BIRTHDAY PARTY. None of the people arrested at the party seem to have any criminal record — and none have been charged criminally in the months since it happened. Read the story below.

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."

If you want to block Cuomo, pease DO NOT leave spaces on your D mayoral primary ballot blank. Fill in ALL FIVE slots with folks who are NOT CUOMO. Mamdani, Lander, Adrienne Adams, Myrie, and Ramos is the @nywfp.bsky.social slate. #RankTheSlate, in whatever order you like! But #NoCuomo!

..............FAKE LISTERIA!

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

Until @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social begin holding DAILY pressers answering why masked…who tf knows??…without badges or warrants are kidnapping people and putting children in zip ties, no one in the Democratic Party is getting a cent. Stop with these. 👇🏽 Not happening. +…
