the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Rep. AOC: This is not a fight over tax credits. This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin. When Republicans use a legislative mechanism to gut the American health care system, we have to use a legislative mechanism in order to restore it

We won't be silent in the face of inhumane, illegal violence against immigrant New Yorkers. We won't stop fighting until we get #ICEoutofNY. Join me and others this Thursday, September 26 at 6:00 PM in Foley Square.

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

this is a former US Marine who signed up for the military under Reagan and is carrying an American flag. do you think he is a member of PSL? maybe a Fourth International thing that broke off after beefing with Chariman Bob?

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

The point I’ve been trying to make is that Trump’s admin is more bark than bite. You can criticize them, protest against them, mock them harshly, and you WON’T go to jail. They certainly want you to think you’ll go to jail, because they derive immense power from that kind of fear. So challenge it.

Gone from the Post but not from journalism! And more free than before to bluntly tell the story of America 2025, where so much of the problem is a radical right-wing being supported/legitimized by billionaires like Bezos. newrepublic.com/authors/perr...

Yikes – Crain’s is reporting that the Board of Elections “appears likely” to throw out the pro-housing land use ballot measures. These could be transformational for the city and disrupt member deference and Council NIMBYism, you’ve got to light up the BoE’s phones on Monday morning!

Get behind Brad on this and email the BoE

@bradlander.bsky.social slammed the board's apparent plan as "Trumpian overreach." "As ballot propositions go, they are quite clear," he said. "The argument that they lack clarity doesn't pass the smell test." www.crainsnewyork.com/real-estate/...

Hey--urgent ask. NYC is supposed to vote on four ballot proposals this November that would make it easier and faster to approve new housing. Unfortunately, several members of the Brooklyn machine are challenging whether they can appear on the ballot. Send a quick email to object! Instructions TK.

Republicans on NYC's Board of Elections think they can illegally overrule ballot questions—or at least delay for long enough that the questions can't be printed on ballots. Signal boost, send emails, and help us stop them:

The MTA could have fixed this years ago at no cost and no service interruption by keeping the N/Q and B/D together in Brooklyn (so in practice, switching the B and N in Brooklyn)

Here’s a cool thing: the MTA is looking at untangling the DeKalb interlocking in its upcoming B/D/F/M train signal upgrades instead of doing it later during N/Q/R/W signal work nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/11/t...

“Ask for what actually fixes the problem — and then go out there and fight for it.” On Monday, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social came to NYC to talk about universal childcare, and why we shouldn’t listen to billionaires who say making life affordable for working families isn't possible.

Everyone is dunking on this piece but I think it's worth taking seriously. There's been good-faith debate among urbanists for years about whether free fares offer the best bang for the buck. It's OK to support a candidate and still subject their policies to scrutiny! slate.com/business/202...

the thing about the NYT is is you look like mamdani you have to be accountable forever for everything including a form you filled as a teenager and didn't do anything wrong with but if you look like Trump laws you have sworn a public oath to uphold do not apply to you at any point in your life

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Gotta keep our eye on the ball here

I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.

Mamdani would have won in a plurality-winner primary and he has absolutely crushed Cuomo in an instant runoff primary. I like his odds for November. I like them a lot. What a fantastic rebuke to the party for siding with Cuomo. They're getting new blood, whether they want it or not.

Which way, Democratic Party?

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

We have the first wave of returns from New York City—this includes early votes, and the mail votes. Mamdani: 43% Cuomo: 34% Lander: 13% Everyone else under 5% This is with 410K ballots counted.

I’d vote Lander and definitely rank Mamdani, if that wasn’t clear. Do I think Mamdani will get everything done he wants? I do not. Is he going to be the catastrophe that the center keeps saying he will be? Come on, no. Grow up. We have real problems, problems embodied in men like Cuomo

I am consistently surprised by how much of the political internet is on-line personalities arguing with other on-line personalities about rhetoric that mostly exists on-line. Meanwhile, the rest of the world watches cat videos and argues about sports or Diddy.

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

“I’m a lawyer and I’m going to give you the legal term for what’s happening: It’s fucking ridiculous.” @zellnor.bsky.social

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

If New Yorkers are wondering who will fight back against Federal overreach, we have visible evidence today that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander are the candidates that you should rank 1 or 2 Lander literally resisted federal overreach and Mamdani showed up immediately to have his back Fuck Cuomo

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

I recently met a senior in Brownsville who's been on the waitlist for affordable housing for *seven years.* This crisis is pushing New Yorkers out of the city they built. We need robust public sector investment to build hundreds of thousands of truly affordable homes now.

A staff member for Sen. Padilla shared this photo with @samsteindc.bsky.social:

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

Senator Padilla pledged to help us answer some questions on why California’s workers are being hunted down like prey. He’s doing his best to get some answers.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

We feed you. They hunt us.
