The Statue of Liberty, over a backdrop of the NYC skyline and pink sunrise..

#Heatwave has me sweating my ass off. So I decided to buy a little Inflatable pool to cool off in. This ice cold beer is going down really nicely.

What should go in the America 250 time capsule? Maybe an apology for how we left the place

Today, Mayor Mamdani gave a public address for America’s 250th anniversary. He argued that the American story has always been one of contradiction, and traces the experiences generations of Americans seeking freedom and opportunity. The full speech is FANTASTIC.

Dozens of technicians will fire off about 851,000 fireworks on July 4, aiming to break a world record in what organizers hope will be the "most memorable display this generation will have ever seen."

America’s 250th birthday has been ruined, yall. Ruined I say!

🚨Trigger Warning. Video has deeply disturbing information🚨 The powerful shouldn’t get a free pass. If credible evidence exists, it must be investigated fully. If the allegations are false, prove it! Justice only works when it’s applied equally! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #BelieveSurvivors #SheShed

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

These “men” that think they have the power to strip women of their rights to have children or even life should make you want to rid the patriarchy by all means necessary. And let’s cross our fingers that Alito and or Thomas do not resign during trumps term of their wishes will definitely come true.

Donald Trump and the Supreme Court are trying to kill my friends. So I repeat — Trans rights are human rights.

If you owe a woman $5 million for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

Good brunch time, friends!! Finally dropping my giggle for the kind of morningish time. Either way, I'm late and I hope y'all have a day! #SheShed

Here's what I want people to understand: When Johnson says communist, he means anyone or anything that demands equality and equal treatment under law. That's what the right has always meant. Equality for you means taking something from him, and anything that does that is communist.

The Commanders have had about 16 starting quarterbacks over the last 30 years that cannot throw as good as this

This is absolutely perfect. 👌

Posted 18 hrs ago by... "esotericjake: Per DHS’s own statistics, over 70% of the people that have been detained and put in these camps, have no criminal record at all. That means, they are clearly not going after the worst of the worst. The fact that people still defend ICE is beyond..." Thread 2👇

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Mamdani just showed up at Penn Station, wristbands in hand, helping World Cup fans find their trains like it was nothing. Panama vs England, MetLife bound, and the mayor was just out there in the crowd. No big deal. Very big deal.

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

A Road trip to Springfield soon might be in my near future to fight to keep their Haitian citizens safe.

How hard it is to clean a damn (reflecting) pool anyway?

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

youtu.be/sNwzFhGwA94?... It’s jackass day! I just bought my tickets for today, tomorrow and Sunday.

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

Who is paying for Trumps MAGA-fied Freedom 250 festivities, like the so-called "Great American State Fair"? Trump is using taxpayer dollars to spread the MAGA agenda while granting private donors presidential access — all under the guise of celebrating America’s 250th birthday. Watch.

BREAKING NYT: A New York City panel just voted to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments — fulfilling one of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's key campaign promises and handing the mayor a major policy win six months into his tenure.

Congress can act too. Theres a lot of this info in the article. Thanks so much for reading and staying engaged. www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem...

Adorable video from Mayor Mamdani’s visit to a school in Brooklyn this morning with the 2-K Jingle Contest Winner (judged by Cardi b). 🤩 He’s doing all of this to remind New Yorkers that 2-K applications close this Friday (tmr). Please help spread the word!

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his ‘Adopt Me’ backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he’s featured has found a forever home. [📹 madmax_fluffyroad] Original post
