Lindsey fought like hell against Cuomo and for Mamdani and was the first person I saw clearly explain ranked choice voting during the primary. She shows up at the rallies and marches I shoot and clearly gives a damn about this city. Not my district, but I'm keeping a close eye on this one!

There are local groups and new formations working right now to bring universal childcare to life in NY. If this is an issue that moves you, join in.

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

NYC has an excellent tool to see how recently any street has been plowed. Check out PlowNYC at: plownyc.cityofnewyork.us/plownyc/ Thank you to the 1000s of hard working men and women at @nycsanitation.bsky.social who are out battling this storm tonight.

Ending 2025 with the grounded sense of hope I picked up in Chicago, as told here:

This administration lied about the people it sent to an overseas torture prison. It lies about the people it’s deporting. It lies every day to gain political advantage. Not a chance in hell they won’t lie about huge swaths of people they suspect might vote for the other party.

This afternoon, The Resistance Revival Choir joined Rise and Resist as we rallied in front of Trump Tower to protest cruel immigration policies and to ward off the prospect of troops occupying NYC. No ICE - No Troops in NYC!

What’s the difference between a Heritage American and an artisanal tomato? People LIKE artisanal tomatoes.

President Trump doesn’t get the final say on our most fundamental freedoms. We the people do.

Thousands of Americans have full-time jobs and still can’t pay rent. But they’re a significant and revealing part of America’s homelessness crisis, Brian Goldstone argues in his new book, “There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America.” https://bit.ly/4b228Cs

I talked to @michellegoldberg.bsky.social about how this was the year when elites folded to fascism and regular people said "fuck no" www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/o...

It really is about the notes you don’t play

We are going to win. We must keep going. But we are going to win.

In case you missed it over the holiday, here's my interview with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social with his thoughts on ICE in NYC and some of what he told Trump about the raids. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/zohr...

Trump, and many of his family members and administration, and its wide circles of affiliated crooks need to serve long prison sentences once this is over Not because prisons are just. They are not. But because they committed crimes and have shown repeatedly that they are dangers to democracy itself

the old white Boomers who run the entire tristate GOP and the LI/Westchester/NJ Dems live in such an epistemic bubble that they genuinely don't realize this kind of constant subway/city crime panic makes you seem like an actual paranoid insane person to the average tristate adult under 50

There are only two offenses the Constitution goes out of its way to specifically say merit impeachment, and this is one of them.

I really fucking hate how every time Trump bombs another country no one on here actually responds to the actual horror of what that means… instead it’s just a million posts of “someone tell FIFA to give back his peace prize 🤣”

Why, again, does @harvard.edu and @harvardlawschool.bsky.social allow Alan Dershowitz to maintain any sort of affiliation, or compensation, with them whatsoever? hls.harvard.edu/faculty/alan...

game recognizes game

A case study in how the "real estate state" overrides democratic will: after Mamdani's decisive victory, Adams and his allies are using bureaucratic maneuvers to block rent freezes and kill affordable housing before Mamdani takes office. A crucial piece by Sam Stein in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social:

Trump is a monster. He loves killing people and he especially loves killing people in ways that he hopes you will find especially upsetting. This ogre should never have been elected to the presidency, once, or twice. If you a believer of any faith, please say a prayer for the people…

He is a madman who loves killing people. This is a frightening time for the entire planet. Because none of his aides or anyone in the U.S. military wants to or is able to hold him back from attacking other countries.

As the US bombs Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa - on Christmas, which half of Nigeria celebrates - realize there could be no diplomatic negotiations about this beforehand because the US pulled its ambassador out of Nigeria last week.

"controversial"

"[Erik Prince] said he was the one to first suggest using prisons in El Salvador to detain migrants arrested by U.S. immigration authorities." After a visit to CECOT last year, he pitched the idea of designating parts of the prison as U.S. sovereign territory, WSJ reported in August.

It’s much easier to find a job or treat a drug addiction when your basic needs like food and shelter are being met. That’s why “Housing First” policies are so important. These cuts will force more people onto the streets. They will increase suffering. They will increase job insecurity.

Hey, New York City!

Perjury. Contempt of Congress. Lying to the public. It’s all there in the files. Documents show that federal investigators knew of at least 10 co-conspirators. Why were they never prosecuted? Why is the Admin shielding their names? Why did they lie to Congress? We will get to the bottom of this.

I hope everybody got the FIFA Peace Prize they asked for this Christmas.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: “We know we can never match the sacrifice of the Ukrainian people, but we will support their fight for survival, for their country, their land, and their right to live without fear, for as long as it takes.”

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

In some truly fucked up ways, her spectacular immediate failures at CBS have been a massive success for Bari Weiss, in that she has become the protagonist of the story, it seems always her goal above any other. But she is not the protagonist of the CECOT story. Abducted and brutalized men are….
