In the wake of Belfast riots, I just sent this to @mayor.nyc.gov to implore him to require the city post NOTHING on X except emergency notices. Please contact your own reps. There has to be a line. This is a public safety issue. They must get the hell off of X. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

Nicole Malliotakis is lying. ICE officers don’t wear masks at the airport, because they are not afraid of being identified. They wear masks when they are more likely to openly break the law, because they want to avoid criminal prosecution. NY-11 deserves better. @bkindivisible.bsky.social

Early voting starts next week in New York and we need your help to send more Democratic fighters to Congress! No matter where you live, you can join us to get out the vote for Brad Lander and Darializa Avila Chevalier.

Neighbors picketed on Citizens Bank branches in BK to call them out as the only major bank still financing ICE prisons. Don't be fooled by their PR or their whitewashing sponsorships.This bank funds ICE cruelty with customer deposits. #deicecitizensbank @citizensbank.bsky.social @indivisible.org

I do not think the United States should be importing apartheidists. Precisely zero of these people are refugees under the law and all of them should be removed on Day 1 of the next Dem administration.

Wow: New ad that aired during the NY Knicks finals Game one last night where Zohran Mamdani makes case for Democratic congressional candidates Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier & Brad Lander. Daring and bold. Never seen this before in NYC primary with a Mayor.

Is our quarter-billionaire Congressman who has “no problem taking money from anyone” really looking out for you?

Looks like being a moderate — “Nothing for everyone!" — isn't the silver bullet some Democratic strategists would have you believe. free: archive.ph/OSAI4 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social says “I do not know why these individuals attacked or what they wanted to accomplish …" Detainees’ allies have been protesting peacefully for weeks. What's changed? ICE's thuggish backers come and light it on fire. Don’t fall for it. www.handsoffnyc.com/delaney

Our brave neighbors inside Delaney need urgent help. They are asking that doctors go in to check out everyone in unit 2a/2b. On Thursday, May 28th, they were brutalized by GEO Group guards and ICE. They need medical attention NOW.

DHS secretary Markwayne Mullin said Delaney Hall “isn’t a Holiday Inn.” The most chilling part of his remarks: “We’re meeting the calorie standard.” You know who else used calorie restrictions as a weapon against prisoners? The Nazis. @marisakabas.bsky.social www.thehandbasket.co/p/delaney-ha...

@governor.ny.gov signed new protections for NYers into law today. But we're not done until we pass #NY4All. Here's why.

A great opportunity to be Trump's arch nemesis. Comment by noon on June 3. savingplaces.org/monumental-a...

Public health … decline … etc…. @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social thehill.com/policy/inter...

Analilia Mejia on the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark: "There are people who are pleading for - asking I help them get their passport, that they were willing to get their own ticket and go home - they're just languishing here. The treatment they are receiving is egregious and unamerican."

I said “wow” when reading the DNC autopsy yesterday. Another “wow” today. About the author: “He sold himself as a guy who knew everything and that he was a master of politics. He didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about.” Ken Martin is responsible for this. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Just heard a great motto for Democrats in 2027: “Audit the White House”. Yes, please.

Very rapey sounding senior WH official in Politico about how Republicans in Congress: “The quicker they understand that President Trump is the ultimate force in politics, the quicker they’ll realize it’s a futile exercise to go against him.”

That is some package. Have they gone too far? Thune? Even the fact that the NYT has 1-2-3-4-5-6 corruption stories top left? The next two stories below are no better -- Iran vote in Senate coming, and bond yield/inflation fear.

After the Republican Court gave us Callais, democracy-backers are in all-out political war. We’ll lose if we don’t win state legislative races. (State and local, btw, is how the GOP took over.) That’s why I support the States Project and volunteer for state races happening now. statesproject.org

And who was noticeably absent from the vote? My opponent. For all his talk of standing up to ICE, he is failing to show up when it matters and when our rights are actually on the line. (2/2)

Brooklyn progressives: Don’t miss our moment to reform the corrupt Brooklyn Democratic party. It’s now if you pay attention. Tell your people. www.nydailynews.com/2026/05/14/b... @bkindivisible.bsky.social @gregpak.net

As a politician, Julius Caesar played a significant role in staging lavish shows and public games to gain popularity and political leverage with Roman plebeians. They say history rhymes. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Reconciliation is back and so are we! 5/18 @5:30pm, Bay Ridge. Rally at the office of NYC’s only R House rep before she votes for MORE money to ICE & Border Patrol with no reform, and for the Let Them Eat Cake Ballroom. Still waiting for the healthcare fix, btw. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

West Bank settler violence worsens daily and it’s disgusting. One more reason AIPAC is reprehensible. @trackaipac.com www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Ohio Republicans Are Just Ignoring The State Supreme Court’s Anti-Gerrymandering Rulings. It’s Working. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/ohio-re...

Check out @villegas4congress.bsky.social and help him win his primary. DCCC @electdemocrats.bsky.social put its thumb on the scale for an AIPAC-backed caver who shares 60% of her donors with the Republican. I’m so disgusted! Donate. Share. Teach the party a lesson and flip this seat.

Just got a solicitation from Dan Goldman — AIPAC- and self-funded billionaire-in-waiting — so I’m taking a moment to donate to Brad Lander for Congress. I’m not voting based on impeachments that didn’t make a difference. I demand more for my family and community. youtu.be/qmoyCPtPSTw?...

They are betting on fear. We are betting on people. As a union leader, Sara Nelson, knows: a people-first movement wins over fear every time.

I would love to see people back this race with some cash. I had heard a little about the positive signals there, but this seems like a meaningful shot. Don’t sleep on it. @dscc.bsky.social @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Citizens United is the brand name that captures attention, but the case that really empowered big money in politics is Buckley v. Valeo. Citizens expanded it to coprorations, but corporate donors are not the real problem. Time to give it the attention it deserves, to kill it dead. archive.ph/agISO

Hope this isn’t a tease. We’ve been waiting way to long for meaningful fight from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Maybe the corrupt Court and VRA decision finally lights a fire.

May Day Brooklyn pickets outside Target and Whole Foods — a beautiful day to show people how big corporations support ICE, the war, and authoritarianism. Use your power of the purse to stand for democracy! @indivisible.org @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

I’m reviewing posts for #mayday and I love these people. Gratitude. Solidarity.

We knew the Supreme Court would dismantle Voting Rights. We know the Republicans will try to sabotage the elections. We have to prepare with May Day. Don’t just come out. Show power like they did in the Twin Cities. No school. No work. No shopping. It’s practice for November. See you tomorrow.

Is this illegal?

Posting for no particular reason apart from my burgeoning interest in the natrual life spans of soon-to-be 80-year-old men. (No seashells used in this message.)

I'll restate my oft-stated position that democratic self-government in the United States is not possible unless this Court and its manifest corruption are thoroughly reformed. civic democracy or this corrupt court. can only have one.

Breaking: US belatedly admits US base in Kuwait was bombed by a VIETNAM ERA IRANIAN JET. Absolute WTF!!!??

According to Chairman James Comer, some of these Oversight Committee members back a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell. I know the MSM is busy hobnobbing with Trump this weekend, but seems like they all need to be asked. @zeteo.com @thebulwark.com @talkingpointsmemo.com?

Disturbed by not surprised to learn my rep, Dan Goldman, is: 1. Self-funding his campaign in potentiall the millions, after all. 2. Is supported by a mysterious new PAC. I’ll have to chat about this tomorrow while canvassing for @bradlander.bsky.social

LOL -- Leavitt says the Powell investigation actually isn't over "The case is not necessarily dropped, it's just being moved over to the inspector general. This has been a priority for the president. The investigation still continues."

401ks were always a questionable policy choice. Not only did Americans lose guaranteed benefit pensions, now they get garbabge to enrich finance crooks, who want you to risk your security on private lending and betting market plays. www.cnbc.com/2026/04/24/p...

nightmare town Sue Altman is the former NJ-WFP executive director, and she ran in 2024 as a pro-Israel candidate. I'm scared she'll secure the WFP endorsement if not stopped early

When Republicans complain that the Virginia Fairness Gerrymander passed by 51 to 49, it’s worth pointing out that that’s a better margin than Trump had. It’s easy to forget that in 2024, more than 50% of people voted against Trump than for him. More voted for Harris or Other than for Trump.

Nice way to incorporate the maydaystrong.org anti-corporate action into daily life, before and after a day of No Work, No School, No Shopping on May 1.

21. I think we are seeing the beginning of a trend. The more the Iran war drags on, and the more pain that Americans feel as a consequence of it, the more openly people are going to doubt Trump’s mental fitness.

Reposting so I can pin it so it can lift my spirits often.
