Do not psych yourself out of going to #NoKings Day because of scary-sounding viral content. That’s not the vibe. This is a mass demonstration designed to be big, safe, and accessible. I can't wait to see you all out there. ♡

Every settlement or judgement against law enforcement should come out of taxpayer contributions to the pension fund. Cops act with impunity because they see no repercussions. They form a blue shield around their colleagues.

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

As @letsgomathias.bsky.social reported, "remigration" has been used by white supremacists as "a euphemism for ethnically cleansing non-white people from Western countries." The GOP is "sourcing many of its talking points and policy ideas directly from neo-fascists." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Israel has a long history of exploding peace talks with attacks. Be that assassinating Palestinian officials on the eve of peace deals, or unilaterally bombing civilian infrastructure, Israel doesn’t want peace It wants forever war. It must be stopped apnews.com/article/iran...

For anyone who missed this hearing yesterday, a video recording IS NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC!!! It was recorded as a part of the “cameras in the courtroom” pilot program. Watch below (and hear for yourself how Judge Breyer sounds just like his brother) ⬇️ 👇 www.uscourts.gov/court-record...

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

I think a lot about this credentialing question without good language for it (spoiler Dr. Cottom has the analysis + words). SES, race, gender expression, clothing/hair (the drag of class/geography) (It took me years to get the class/geography drag - now I can't unsee it.)

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

I believe protests should only be done in a way that the powers that be aren’t disturbed enough to enact the change being sought by said protests

Secret police are incompatible with a well functioning society. Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

The Gestapo attacked a US senator today. Senator Padilla identified himself and sought to ask a question of the Secretary, who was in the process of saying that their purpose is to overthrow the city and state government. This is fascism.

California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed. "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Video from @Elex_Michaelson on X via Padilla's staff.

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.
