I spent 10 or so years of my life scared—like deadly scared—of being dragged and taken by immigration officials The images you’re seeing on your screens RIGHT NOW are the real-life personification of people’s worst fears Full stop

But by all means, continue to listen to them screech about the unfairness of DEI.

I saw this useful resource: www.nilc.org/resources/ho...

hot girls vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

The relief when I realized this was a sports thing

Democrats are racking their brains trying to find the "Joe Rogan of the left" while doing everything they can to defeat people like Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who actually possess the skills they're so desperately looking for.

Saw this whole out doing errands today

For those of u who went no contact with your family or parents, how did you get through it without the guilt? I’m really struggling.

What do we suppose is the reason Twitter has so much more Zohran hype than Bluesky?

Well the last condition has really fallen into place. "We are in the middle of an energy crisis unlike anything the U.S. has seen since 1973, when fuel shortages sent heating oil, gasoline, and electricity prices soaring almost overnight." We must ban utility shutoffs to save lives.

Who was practicing any kind of climate policy throughout the early 2000s and wants to talk to us about what the big contours of that were like while the country was caught up in a post 9/11 pro war and anti Muslim fever?

Professor Khaled Elgindy of the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, Georgetown University tells the public that the Israeli occupation army invaded, ransacked and stole from his wife's familial home in the occupied West Bank.

It’s copium but I am allowing myself to imagine how bad (good) Cuomo’s internal polls must be to resort to this

War is absolutely incompatible with a habitable planet and it would be great to see the folks constantly talking about GW electricity installed or whatever say this out loud.

yes i am sure

After every war someone has to tidy up. Things won’t pick themselves up, after all. Someone has to shove the rubble to the roadsides so the carts loaded with corpses can get by. -Wisława Szymborska, “The End and the Beginning” (t. Cavanagh & Barańczak) #everynightapoem #war

A war on Iran won’t only occur in Iran. There will be claims of imminent reprisal attacks to assault the freedoms of our Muslim neighbors, no matter how absurd or ignorant. There will be persecution & deportation attempts, esp vs the pro-Palestine movement. Will there be solidarity vs all this?

✅ Overdue to start paying my fair share for this important resource. Looks like we’re going to need it.

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

I just held a crying coworker as she shook in my arms. Her mother is in Iran and she hasn't heard from her in a few days because of cut internet.

My original video just hit one million views on Insta, so I decided to remix it. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is a C class rapper

There's never been a better time to join The 51st and support reliable local news for D.C. residents! We're halfway to 51 new members. Can you help by joining now and/or encouraging others to do so? More info in this thread ⬇️

I wondered about this, because we have the same problem in DC—an editorial board issuing opinions about a city they don’t live in.

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

Same holds for their much-superior coverage of Long Covid. They’ve been remarkably impervious to fairy tales of political convenience, like vax and relax.

hello billboards r us i want all the billboards. yes, for as long as possible. yes i'll hold

Spotted in Burbank: a citizen driving behind an unmarked ICE SUV on speakerphone shouting "LA MIGRA!". Just following them wherever they turned. Hero shit.

josh is funny and i needed this today and so can you

RIP to 2181 Italian Bros Pizza on Nostrand & H. I assume it was defeated by 302 Ethiopian Bros

I heard you can just post a selfie with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @bradlander.bsky.social and get a thousand likes

Men are afraid women will laugh at their tech, and women are afraid men will kill them.

“There's an antisocial behavior that is overwhelmingly present in one group and not others, and just not talking about it isn't making it go away”—yup.

It’s cool we do have a tool that works against this (N95s). If you need free ones, there’s very likely a local mask bloc that would be glad to help. Here’s a worldwide directory of them: MaskBloc.org

Bluesky Zohran posts dont go viral like Twitter ones I thought yall were the real antifascists??? If u dont re-tweet this you are a fake friend and possibly a reactionary op Zohranfornyc.com/events
