Petitioning season has started in NY for the June democratic primary. If you see people on the street corner with these green sheets, be nice and sign the petition to get @micahlasher.bsky.social @sengonzalezny.bsky.social and other dems on the ballot

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
So happy to see our electeds like @micahlasher.bsky.social, @sengonzalezny.bsky.social, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social, @virginiamaloney.bsky.social and others support this great institution. Few have been patients at Bellevue Hospital so they know first hand how dedicated everyone is at the hospital.
My 2nd year attending Bellevue Hospital Legislative Breakfast & the CAB including @kevokeefe.bsky.social did a great job organizing it. Bellevue is the oldest hospital in the country & they've always taken care of the most vulnerable in the city. They provide the best care regardless of who you are.
Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was able to get the Columbia studen released from ICE custody after taking to Trump. He knows how to deal with Trump better than anyone. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov would never have been able to do what he did. Dems need to learn from him
Why are they still around and talking as if anyone in NYC cares. Some people really can't take a hint and just f#@k off
NYC Blizzard 2026 🥰❄️
Even though the travel ban has technically ended, most cars are staying off roads. People are walking about and kids are enjoying the snow day 🥰❄️

You didn't need hindsight to know that "race swapping" was wrong. That's the same as blackface which was considered racist well before cycle 9 of America's Top Model. #RealityCheck documentary really show how horrible Tyra Banks was.
Watching #RealityCheck documentary and WOW! Tyra Banks is an awful person. You don't need hindsight to know that filming and then airing a woman getting raped was wrong!
House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.
While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.
I'm going to non-desi friend's place for dinner so told her I don't like lamb or goat. She said ok
Whenever I say this to a desi friend, the response is always oh you haven't had my lamb/goat or you haven't had some other random lamb/goat dish. Can't accept that some people just don't like lamb/goat
I'm at 12 out of 25
Senator Chuck Schumer at a podium
Ahh the most useless senator @schumer.senate.gov pretending to be upset with Trump and ICE while doing whatever Trump wants and asks him to do. If you really care about democracy, then step down as minority leader and let someone more effective take over as the democratic leader.
Chemical weapons and weapons of war used by American government against American citizens on American soil and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is totally fine funding ICE! No qualms at all giving in to fascism. Never have #democrats had a more useless leader than we do now!

OMG I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣
But the worst #NY12 candidate was Jami Floyd. She is basically a republican and a huge supporter of the sexual predator Cuomo. @gtconway.bsky.social didn't show up for the forum.
The #NY12 congressional forum was very well organized and moderated. @alexbores.nyc and @micahlasher.bsky.social both had great nights. @jackschlossberg.bsky.social was okay. He started off weak but ended better. He lacked specifics to a lot of the questions but was strong on his beliefs. 1/
If Maria Corina Machado thinks that giving Trump her Nobel Peace Prize will mean he'll help her then she's going to be very disappointed. Trump sees this as a weakness, extract more from her & never help her. She gave up her Peace Prize for nothing and in doing so she lost respect of a lot of people
Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
This is exactly why the Trump Oligarchs took over CBS News. To spread total and complete lies like these. They want to promote their propaganda under the guise of news.
AOC: I’m very encouraged by statements from Senator Tillis and Senator Murkowski, but it is frankly very disturbing that we are not seeing more resistance across the board.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Ahh a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Price is so on brand for Trump! Tackiness all the way.
Listening to members of our community must be a priority. Showing up for members of our community must be a priority.
Great neighbors, like Michael and Edward, are part of why I’m proud to call this city my home. We will fight, not fold - for ALL New Yorkers.
Jeffries is an AIPAC funded puppet for millionaires. He could barely get himself to endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social even AFTER he won the primary but has no problems endorsing now
Someone needs to do to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social what @aoc.bsky.social did to Joe Crowley and send him packing!

May is my birthday month so we usually travel. This time we went to India to our 5 yr old nephew. He's the smartest and most adorable kid I've met. India in May also means it's mango season 😁
