it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

#tbt sorry we missed this, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

ICE is a team sport for guys who would otherwise be school shooters

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

Mamdani’s win is a warning for media: Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

It is officially time for the Democratic Party to stop wasting money on their out of touch consultant class, and start paying for insights from Bluesky posters named "<--- kill me" and "Kicked In The Farm Parts"

Moments after the election was called last night, I walked into the TV Eye green room and wrote what I hope are my last words about Andrew Cuomo, a Gollum who looks in the mirror and sees himself as an Aragorn nygroove.nyc/andrew-cuomo...

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

Growing up in a suburb of nyc during when post 9/11 Islamophobia was quite prevalent for years after, to never have heard Palestine ever have been mentioned in K-12 school, to having patriotism define what makes this country be so great It weighs a lot when looking back BUT

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Capitalism is now illegal

I'd vote against Cuomo a third time if I could

The major opposing candidates called him a jihadist and Democratic leadership didn't make a peep about it!

pro cuomo guy outside my polling site yesterday was yelling about mamdani "giving away free shit". someone said "did you go to public school" and he went apeshit and shouted "you think public school is free" and then started arguing with a delivery driver. Also he had his six year old son with him

now that's what I call a Mamdani endorsement. Don't threaten New Yorkers with a good time, Dave. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

good time to respectfully tap the "please support worker-led, billionaire-free, independent news" sign

there is an urgent need for readers to financially support worker-owned publications, before what's left of the news industry is completely hollowed out

if everyone keeps listen to people like ezra klein the democratic party nor the left will ever win again. this type of framing and mindset is a failed ideology

This is also how they’ll cover him if he wins. Mamdani - all democrats who actually want to govern and fix things - need to understand the NYT politics team as a partisan force arrayed against them.

We live in the most evil country in the world.

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

Just thinking of how Bloomberg could have funded a literary translation center, paying translators adequately, ideally attached to a CUNY school, instead of just lighting $1.5M on fire like this. So wasteful

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

A common theme of Trump II is an utterly cowardly class of elites while everyday regular people have risen to the occasion

I would love one theorist of "why the democratic party should go right on immigration" to 1) look at what Clinton and Obama and Biden actually did, and 2) to reckon with the fact that despite those overtures, Stephen Miller now has a goon army doing forcible deportations without due process

fuck gavin newsom

Cuomo, who does not live in NYC, is a sack of shit and should be ashamed for bringing up the Dual Loyalty trope while also trying to scare American Jews of a brown person. Go back to Westchester, you putz

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

NBA media is not built to cover a gambling scandal, but Defector is: defector.com/products

i once again would like to express some alarm and concern at the sheer pace of Nazi-related news updates

Governor Kathy Hochul is speaking on stage, but the crowd keeps interrupting to chant #TaxTheRich @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

This is insanely illegal and incredibly fucking dangerous.

Well like I said the other day, all of these "Haha let's remember Eric Adams, a true original with some funny quotes" appreciation stories and posts were coming with way too much time on the clock. Get this guy OUTTA here

Documented went down and spoke with vendors who said federal agents stormed Canal Street without warning — leaving dozens detained and the community in shock and confusion. 📝 @KEXU3 and @Anna_Oakes1 🔗 documentedny.com/2025/10/23/ice-raid-chinatown-vendors-arrested

yup it’s over nba, he’s ready

Congrats, The Atlantic and The New York Times, this is the country you've created.

The day after the Chinatown raid, New York AG Tish James launches an online portal for the public to submit photos and videos of ICE activity. "We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law," she writes. Portal ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

ICE just escalated NYC enforcement in the most visible possible way: sweeping in and arresting immigrant vendors on Canal Street, where tourists have forever flocked to buy knockoff designer handbags.

The newspaper that mainstreamed Chris Rufo, Ben Shapiro, Bari Weiss, and Charlie Kirk renews its calls to meet fascists halfway:

Israel violating a ceasefire deal as a mob of Israeli settlers attack an American journalist and Palestinian grandma & an Israeli soccer match has to be cancelled because of violent fans is all the worse when you remember the deal calls to "de-radicalize" Palestinians and not Israelis

Societies that condone genocide, that laugh about torture, that dance to songs about burning people’s homes and villages—these are sick societies that are rotting from the inside out. We have seen them before in history, and we see them still now.

They didn’t think Andrew Cuomo could pull it off, but he persevered and he triumphed. We have actually found a politician so transparently shitty and cynical that he’s forced people to begrudgingly respect Curtis Sliwa.

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

wow, made it to 30, it’s a new era

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”
