Watching the segment: The first thing I'm going to zero in on is the crime stats. Here's how 60 Minutes set it up: - Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst - Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

POLLS CLOSE IN 4HRS GO VOTE @YESONAFFHOUSING.bsky.social!!!

the actual contrast is between spanberger/mamdani (focused message, vigorous campaigns) and sherrill (unfocused, half-hearted)

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

The headlines that have pics of Spanberger and Mamdani like "Which Way Modern Dem Man??" Come on. The answer is OBVIOUSLY (and has been, and will be) "both," "all," "whichever". What part of "gigantic diverse coalition of half the electorate" is confusing to people?

Good morning

Zohran’s voting yes on them too!

Our failures to build transit and housing share many of the same causes — like listening to the voices of a few loud NIMBYs over the urgent needs of this city’s working people. By voting @YesOnAffHousing.bsky.social props 2-5, we can start to change this.

Don't take anything for granted. Make a plan to vote and encourage everyone you know to get out there and vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

NYC: Vote YES on ballot props 2-4. We at DSA' Social Housing campaign @housethefuture.bsky.social support them to move affordable and social housing along at the city AND state levels.

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

“I’m going to make it easier for the private sector to build housing in this city, because what we see today is that it’s not labor, it’s not materials, it’s the weight that’s often costing so many, so much to actually build the housing we need." The Left YIMBY candidate we need!

1) I once again take this opportunity to remind you: to keep its basic functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities 2) is...is it happening?

I'll be at this one in downtown San Diego. Go to a protest near you on October 18

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown. Where are House Republicans? On vacation. Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

That feeling when the Governor signs your bill allowing more homes near public transit & you then walk from your 39-unit apartment building to get on the subway. Housing + transit = perfect combo

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.

50 days to victory. Pledge to vote: zohranfornyc.com/pledge Sign up to canvass: zohranfornyc.com/events Let’s turn the page on the broken politics of the past and win a city we can actually afford.

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.
