New York goes to the polls on June 23, and, as in the rest of the country, Palestine is having a major impact on the races. Mondoweiss speaks with political consultant Peter Feld about the rapidly shifting politics around Israel in New York City. mondoweiss.net/2026/06/pale... #Palestine #Israel

One interesting thing is @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social does wah-wah-wah with a downstroke while @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social uses an upstroke.

Ritchie Torres holds a wide 60%-15% lead over Michael Blake in a #NY15 poll I conducted for @corbintrent.bsky.social's A Fight Worth Having PAC. But messages about Medicare for All, Gaza genocide, Iran, and Dems' broken affordability promises turn voters against Torres and Hakeem Jeffries.

I'll take it.

Dude has the intellectual acuity of a lolcat.

Who wants to tell him?

I can't stop thinking about Justin and Cerina Fairfax, and how her death could have been prevented. I wrote about colleges and sexual assault, family courts forcing divorcing women to live with their abusers, and the entitlement of men who are cancelled by #MeToo www.vanityfair.com/news/story/j...

I was going to write today, but until we know more, I don't have any new words for this moment. What I will say is that if you are reeling, and you know you want to be part of making things better, Mariame Kaba and I wrote a book for you. I hope it helps.

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

Choose your own adventure.

Establishment Dems: "We're losing because we don't have a media ecosystem like the right." Also establishment Dems: "Cancel any candidate who goes on Hasan Piker!"

There was a great Chapo riff about how the marines must feel like a 15-year-old golden retriever that’s excited about everyone being so nice this week and letting it sit on the furniture

Intro 175-B, up for a vote in the NYC Council today, is an attack on labor organizing at educational institutions. My union at Columbia University would've struggled to win our strong contract under this law. NYC is a union town. Act like it.

Julie Su, Biden's former Labor Secretary, is now head of "Economic Justice" in NYC-- meaning she's responsible for making much of Zohran's agenda a reality. I spoke to her about labor policy, the gig economy, immigration, Trump, and proper falafel prices. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/julie-sus-...

RIP to Country Joe McDonald, who gave a powerful voice to the antiwar movement at Woodstock.

NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar. The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).

No matter how desperately our politicians try to convince us otherwise, Israel isn't good for us. The new U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which Americans overwhelmingly do not want, is the latest proof of that. It's time for us to end the relationship. mondoweiss.net/2026/03/its-...

As I told @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social in @politico.com this morning, it's not enough for Congressional Democrats to insist on proper procedure or demand the Trump administration explain itself, as if they aren't constantly lying. We need unequivocal opposition to this war.

I...screamed this for 20 years...and...he just...he tweeted it out.

One of the first things I learned about polling from @peterfeld.bsky.social was the difference between “research to know” and “research to show”. This is the latter. The question is framed in a way that makes abolition look like an extreme and conflates it with no enforcement

⭕️ LEAKED Email: Kat Abughazeleh “firmly an interventionist,” foreign policy adviser says Kat Abughazaleh, a socialist Dem. candidate in IL’ 9th District and one of the only Palestinian-Americans seeking office in 2026, was described by her national security adviser as “firmly an interventionist”...

I will work to defeat any Democrat who does not promise to fire and prosecute every ICE agent on Day One.

Free Sirhan.

Anybody who wants to help reject an ICE prison camp in their community, this has some concrete things you can do to get the project killed

Check out this very interesting article on the current state of NYC landmarking, based on Village Preservation’s recent presentation and panel discussion, which included LESPI & other groups from around the city: villagestar-revue.com/hoping-to-re.... Looking for the new admin to change this trend.

ProPublica has identified the two federal agents who murdered Alex Pretti as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa (43) & Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez (35). Reminder that all skin folk aint kin folk & that the statute of limitations for murder is NEVER. Justice Will Be Served.

I'm against Dems taking back the Senate until Schumer is gone.

Calling all volunteers! On Friday, 2/6, join the grassroots, people-powered campaign to send me to City Council District 3 to advance Zohran's affordability agenda, keep ICE out of NY, & ensure no NYer is left behind in a city that prioritizes corporate interests over people. RSVP bit.ly/LBVOL

The things we are seeing daily feel like a horror movie, but this is not fiction. It’s a new terrifying reality. Trump’s DHS mob are killing US citizens, taking kids from their schools & terrorizing hard working immigrants. We need you to DEMAND ACTION. act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun...

on the left: Gavin Newsom is tearing up the tents of homeless ppl in California for a photo op on the right: Gavin Newsom is pretending that he has moral clarity and courage, and that he is someone who honors MLK Jr.’s legacy

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Cheeky monkey!

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social posts he’ll never be on a list of Dems who voted to praise ICE, which included Rep. Cohen— who since said he meant to vote “No” but thought he was voting on something else. (Letter👇🏽) Tucked into an antisemitism resolution. More: www.newsweek.com/democrats-ic...

the zohramp saga seems to indicate the mayor's word/agenda is not only not being followed by NYPD, but actively undermined nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/01/08/z...

Just yesterday DHS was taunting us on social media. Now they've come to our city and killed a legal observer. How much more can we take? We are being invaded and shot by our own government for the purposes of generating content for a mob of Nazis on the internet.
