Huh!

if they were intentionally trying to wreck the country, how could you tell the difference?

Today’s chalking. THEY FOUND $ FOR A WAR, A BALLROOM AND JAN 6. TRAITORS— BUT NOT FOR YOU.

Huge thanks to the legendary @steveearle.bsky.social for performing at one of our events this week! Amidst ICE's reign of terror, NYC remains now and forever the "City of Immigrants" that Steve sings so powerfully about (see next post!). 📷: Gabriel Barreto

Let’s do it!

Each one of these Representatives should be primaried, by someone who will stand up for everybody, and replaced in office.

This makes me think of something from a Studio Ghibli movie, in that when the earth is speaking to us, telling us that something is wrong, we need to listen and tend to it, rather than be destroyed by our inattention.

Our first TV ad is up! 📺 We’ve got a fascist president, rogue ICE agents and billionaires trying to buy our elections. But around here, neighbors showing up for each other is how we fight back. My neighbors and I approve this message.

Ms Rachel and Mychal the librarian are out here trying to shut down a child jail. Let this be inspiration to others to do the same.

Ok, please make some calls, right now if you can, friends.

The numbers could be higher.

I mean look at Bezos. Yes ordering books online was an innovative idea. God bless. And how did Jeff get those books to people to make his billions? The post office that taxpayers built and subsidized for over 250 years.

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what things are best you hear that can be great maybe if something you forward sometime.

Whitehouse: "If you look at all the Court's elections decisions, every one has the effect of helping the GOP. If you look at all their regulatory decisions, every one has the effect of helping the fossil fuel industry that funds the GOP. You can predict with perfect certainty what happens."

Candelaria: "Labor & democracy have always been the same fight. The same forces trying to silence Black & brown voices are too often the same forces that are attacking us as unions, that are suppressing wages, that are underfunding our public schools, & blocking opportunities for working families."

Planned Parenthood's Melanie Newman: "When the people in power substitute their beliefs for our rights, that is tyranny ... we now have judges who are more interested in imposing their ideology than following the law ... our rights are not up for debate."

End Citizens United's Justin Unga: "Corporations and billionaires poured billions into our last presidential election, and this is what they bought for themselves. We have a vot that has been auctioned to the highest bidders, and that means big oil and gas, they get to decide how clean our air is."

We are going to win. Support Make the Road NY.

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" last summer. He has always been kind to me when I've been a guest on his various shows — and he's a wicked smart satirist. Are you planning to tune in to his farewell episode tomorrow night?

Bezos owned a bookstore at one point.

We need funding for housing, healthcare, and food assistance — not detention camps.

As everyone here knows, Tommy Tuberville does actually serve in the United States Senate and is not a fictional character who was created as a satire of the institution in its current form.

One very good nugget in Raskin's new bill is it bans any/all payments to the Jan 6 insurrectionists:

Donald Trump is stealing your money to give to his allies, friends, and possibly even those who stormed the Capitol on January 6. To give even a single penny to the January 6ers would be an insult to law enforcement and to our democracy. We will not stand for it.

🔊

No it didn’t. It has tried to do so. Illegally. This agreement between Trump and his stenographers at DoJ will not stand.

Families belong together.

I support the Colorado Democratic Party's censure of Polis. But that's not enough. The General Assembly should reconvene to investigate and hold him accountable. And if he commuted Tina Peters' sentence at the behest of Trump, surrendering Colorado's sovereign authority, he should be impeached.

The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

What political candidate is promising to tear this down

Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense—using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. Impeach now.

The National Weather Service just put out a flood advisory and severe thunderstorm warning. Here's how to stay safe, New York.  Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 to sign up for NYC emergency alerts and find more information at nyc.gov/floodprep.

The bigger challenge is we have a handful of sociopaths who can circumvent and undermine democracy. We have no bigger challenge.

Which individual? They seem dangerous. They gonna get away with it?

🔊

Cubans are starving and have gone weeks without electricity and clean water due to Trump's blockade of any oil reaching the island. Here's why we aren't covering this.

Has any company, or its leadership, in history been so determined to destroy the thing it did best, made it ubiquitous, made them wealthy, and that people generally found very useful and appreciated.

This is like when the villain monologues. Please keep talking Jeff.

Party’s over. Take care of yourself, everyone.

We were warned.

Yes.
