I love that “that other guy’s miserable tenure“ could apply equally to Adams as mayor or Cuomo as governor and it would be true either way.
Heavy is the head…
No kings except this dog.
Trump: WE HAVE DEAL!
Markets: HOORAY!!
Iran: We don't.
Trump: THE STRAIT IS OPEN FOR ALL!!
Markets: ALL RIGHT, LFG!!
Iran: It is not.
Trump: WE'RE GETTING ALONG GREAT WITH IRAN!!
Markets: OH MY GOD AWESOME!!
Iran: The fuck is wrong with you?
No retreat on climate! The science, the physics don’t care about politics. We, our children, and our grandchildren will suffer needlessly if we don’t step up now to deal with climate change. Please join me in calling on NYS legislative leaders to defend the CLCPA

post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it):
Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.
An actual good thing! 🎉
Today, child labor is once again on the rise as the Republican Party attempts to repeal the twentieth century. Lot of kids died between 1836 and 1938, a lot more are probably going to die in Republican states.
Saaaaame. I can’t believe we’re stuck with her for four more years, unless she fails upward to a cabinet position or something.
Thank you for your reasonable measured response. As an NYC public school parent who cares deeply about racial equity, class sizes & school quality, it’s nice to engage in good faith on these issues w/o someone jumping down my throat. I’ll check out the link you shared.
And hence you can’t just redistribute students to meet the class size goals without significantly more resources?
I hear where you’re coming from, but if the under capacity schools are under capacity b/c they’ve been under resourced for decades & are suffering all the predictable consequences of being under resourced, doesn’t the underlying goal of equity require much *more* investment in those schools?
Yup. If the Republicans were really hard-nosed realists, they’d see that their best chance is to send JD Vance on a national tour stumping for Democratic Congressional candidates.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan
Apple: We ❤️ genocide!
I feel personally attacked lol, but also forreal this is the answer
Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.
Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.
holy shit he actually conceded
folks, they tell you they’re invincible
they tell you they’re inevitable
they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting
and absolutely none of that is true
we’ve talked a lot about how AI might con people into believing bad things, but it is sad to think of how it will also make us stop believing in wondrous things too
Exhibit A for why immigration “judges“ should be actual federal judges under the judicial branch and not DOJ employees.
Proud to knock doors for @darializaforny.bsky.social this afternoon and get my card commemorating the “Father of Harlem Radicalism”
Ten volunteers and staff for Darializa for Congress in Inwood Hill Park ready to go out and canvass. They are holding up Darializa literature and are of various ages, races and genders, smiling and holding up fists for people power!
Spent part of this beautiful Saturday afternoon canvassing for Darializa for Congress in Inwood. Lots of voters are excited for a candidate who wants to abolish ICE and invest in babies, not bombs!
@darializaforny.bsky.social
This is a brilliant idea but also lmao! 🤣
My latest is a reflection on the cycle of dread, disaster, and temporary reprieves we’re all navigating, what that cycle is doing to us, and how we can avoid losing ourselves to it.
This edition also includes a roundup of must-read pieces that have helped me think about this moment.
Get your popcorn ready and read this thread holy shit! 👀🍿😂🔥
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE TAGGING ME IN ON THE VATICAN / PENTAGON BEEF HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT
