In a stunning upset, democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier has defeated five-term Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the Democratic primary for New York's 13th congressional district. www.huffpost.com/entry/darial...

When George W Bush won re-election in 2004, he said: “I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and I intend to spend it.” I’ve waited 20 years plus for a Dem to take a similar approach to spending capital. Tonight we saw Zohran Mamdani do it. 3 for 3, about to be.

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

NYC, today is Primary Day. Polls are open NOW and close at 9 PM tonight. Be sure to get your vote in before then. For your polling site and more information, go to vote.nyc. Make your voice heard, New York City.

“This is just a symptom of the misogyny that runs deep in the west side machine,” Boylan told the Journal after learning about the remarks. “It’s unfortunate for all the women who have to be represented by this mentality and it must change.”

Remembering this moment with my dad in Beijing, 2000. Happy Father’s Day!

This is a really good read on the status of the ICE warehouses and how they are being stopped.

has anyone lived the dream more than this guy?

For writers and scholars in NYC: sign this open letter to remind our wonderful mayor to fund NYC's libraries fully. "New York City deserves the kind of writers and thinkers that only consistently well-funded public libraries can ensure." docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today is the tenth anniversary of Jo Cox's murder by a white supremacist on her way to a surgery in Birstall in her constituency whose ethnic diversity she praised in her maiden speech to the Commons. Her murderer shouted "Britain first" as he shot and stabbed her to death.

So you can just do that

Just arrived back at Stanford for my commencement speech tomorrow. This one means a lot to me and it’s such an honor to be invited here.

They came here fleeing persecution; rather than give them refuge, Marco Rubio’s state department will send them to die in countries they’ve never been to. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

Jalen Brunson: “You’re allowed to think about the worst possible scenario. But you gotta go out there and do something about it.” A good mantra for fighting fascism too.

if the knicks win for the first time since 1973 we're bringing back subway graffiti and kicking out all the oligarchs investing in unused midtown terrace lofts. times square will revert to its natural roots as a porn emporium

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

When these people insist the mere presence of people unlike them is an attack on them, their country, or their rights, this is exactly the outcome they are seeking, and disappointment among far right Trumpists is largely that he failed to produce events like this here. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

Thank you to all in attendance for your service.

Hey Jacobin: misogyny IS the most pervasive driver of economic inequality. Don't take it from me, Mere Female: take it from Nobel winner Amartya Sen whose major thesis in "Development As Freedom" is that oppression of women puts the brakes on prosperity everywhere. www.wider.unu.edu/video/amarty...

“My Mayor is Muslim, my bagel is Jewish, my Christian’s Dior… Knicks in 4!!!”

Had a tremendous time with @comixaction.com at the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social's postcard party making notes for Mamdani asking him to keep "A.i." out of the public schools. Here's the postcard I sent!

What a staggering loss. RIP Marjane Satrapi.

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

I was in Tiananmen Square in 1988, a year before the democracy movement, as a 10yo diaspora tourist with my family. What happened the following year hit very very deep for us, 10,000km away. Sometimes I feel completely pinned by the Shi Tao line - 'My whole life will never get past June'.

to my mind the most important biographical fact to know about samuel alito is that he was a member of a group that opposed the admission of women and minorities to princeton www.nytimes.com/2005/11/27/p...

I wrote about Delaney Hall, the ICE concentration camp where imprisoned immigrants are staging a work and hunger strike. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Congratulations Désirée!

Welp there’s no unseeing this

The Trump administration is illegally withholding $150 million for domestic violence service providers, which has led to "layoffs, diminished services for survivors and sacrifices among advocates." A 24-hour hotline is now closed on nights and weekends. 19thnews.org/2026/05/dome...
