This! The fourth estate continues to fail to hold power to account.

Bari Weiss doing the bidding of Donald Trump.

Wild!

This photo of me being carried out of Rep. Mike Lawler's Town Hall in May of this year was named one of USA Today's 100 Pictures of the Year. Thanks to @sethharrison.bsky.social for capturing the moment.

BOTH of my U.S. Senators voted YES. Shameful.

We put together this guide to showcase upcoming toy drives across all five NYC boroughs, offering families free toys and gifts for kids during the holidays. Help us share it! 🎄

Somehow my number got on a MAGA list. Now I get texts from Trump, his son, Turning Point USA, etc. Every text costs them a little $ so I don’t stop them. It is fascinating, these texts read just like the ones I get from the Democrats. Hyping fear, survival, and “our values”. It’s all bullshit .

As many of you know, I am a registered voter who is unaffiliated with any party. Today I received this in the mail from my local BoE asking me to choose Dem or Republican. WTAF? I choose neither!! #iamnotademocrat #voterfraud

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Update: HEAP reopened on Monday, & she was approved immediately. But, the oil company can't deliver the oil for 9 days! It's never-ending. Meanwhile, she is being provided respite care from hospice where she can be warm, & her home can be cleaned so she can get the 24 hr aides she needs to be safe.

Holy shit, this administration is openly stating they will only follow legal. orders with which they agree. Will SCOTUS even care? They’re fine with the Executive Branch defying the judicial branch?

This is the most important op-ed you'll read this week. The Trump administration is about to get rid of the birth-dose of hepatitis B vaccine. That is a deadly choice for many families. @helenouyang.bsky.social tells her story. Now call your member of Congress. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

You won't see Democrats putting Venezuelan flags in their profile next to the Ukrainian flags because they agree with Trump in ending the sovereignty of socialist nations. Also the victims aren't white.

Please help Anna get firewood to keep herself warm.

I’ve got a friend who’s 65 y.o., lives in a mobile home home in a rural area. She has Parkinson’s and is on home Hospice. Went to visit her. She has NO HEAT, it was so cold in her home. Due to shutdown, no HEAP assistance until January. I will get her a months worth of oil. How cruel the Rs are.

My guy is so screwed!

Rest in Power, Mother Fletcher. Viola Ford Fletcher, one of last survivors of Tulsa race massacre, dies aged 111 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I can't live if living is without you. I can't give. I can't give anymore.

Not me waking up in the middle of the night wondering what the Hell is up with MTG. WTAF is happening?

The headline and the breezy, gossipy tone of this article are so offensive. The NYT out here pining for an old NYC where men could be men and women knew their place. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/s...

Stop. The. Killing.

This is exactly correct.

My premium (for the exact same policy) will go from $730/mo to $2400/mo. I want to know what these dems are getting in return for selling us out. Kickbacks? Bonuses? What?? Who bought their votes??? I can think of no other reason for them to fu*k over the American people like this.

The Democrats: Cotton candy to a knife fight every damn time. The electorate hands them a huge win on Tuesday only to be sold down the river on Sunday. No wonder their approval is at 18%.

The extent to which shitty centrist journalism rests on the same thing as Trump, the never-identified "some people say, everyone says" etc. including "critics say" here is a zombie move, lifeless yet vengeful.

@cornelluniversity.bsky.social will never get another dime from me. I used to donate to their debate team program because my daughter had such a good experience there, but never again.

Shop local whenever possible. Especially now as the holidays approach. open.substack.com/pub/commonse...

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

NYC voters turned out in record numbers in support of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @workingfamilies.org and an ambitious working class agenda. Now the elites will do everything they can to stop us dead in our tracks. We can’t let them.

@antlervel.vet bringing in the right energy this morning.

Loved the Good Fucking Riddance t-shirts!!

The guy can deliver a speech. Hope the DNC was taking notes.

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

‘In every age, it has been the tyrant, the oppressor, and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism or religion or both to deceive and overawe the people.’ Eugene V. Debs

Rest in power, sir. As our nation once again uses state sponsored violence against its people, his death is a reminder of that shameful policy. www.wkyc.com/video/news/n...

Farmers are destroying crops they can't sell due to trump's policies & tariffs while federal workers line up at food banks & SNAP gets cut. We have food rotting in fields & people going hungry, not because of scarcity, but because of trump's policies. He is trying to starve us into submission.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social makes a name for herself standing up for women who were sexually harassed & raped in the military & then endorses a serial sexual harasser for Mayor of NYC while using racist smears against Mamdani. She gets a pass. @grahamformaine.bsky.social apologizes & is dismissed

The man is losing his sh*, just full on racist spears with a side of McCarthyism. This is mainstream American politics. May as well be Trump shorting on us from a plane.
