you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I tell myself I’m gonna eat healthy, do good, yada yada, then before my plane to Indianapolis even takes off I’m plottin on one a these bad boys. So it goes. Come to Helium Comedy Club this weekend and watch me balloon in real time! (Tickets at traecrowder.com)

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Dear media: Ask him why he cheats at golf and whether he’s ever raped children.

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab. Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls. If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

Welcome to America; where our president is publicly saying nice things about, giving immunity to, and suggesting a possible pardon for a well-connected child sex trafficker. But I’m sure he’s got a good reason.

In the words of Steinbeck, “…in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.” It won’t take much of a spark these days to start a fire.

Nice to see Cuomo finally being a team player and campaigning for Zohran

One of the most important patterns of the past few decades that has to break is the idea that you only get one shot to stop a crook and if they have the numbers that day, you have to take the L forever, the crook is now a respectable official.

you’re allowed to doomscroll, but before you do, water your houseplants first!

it’s going to be so funny when he is primaried and loses to someone endorsed by DSA

My monstera has a beautiful new leaf. Leaves at the top develop openings to allow sunlight to pass through upper leaves to reach lower level leaves to get them what they need to thrive. This one came out during the debates on the budget bill which, it occurred to me, is the exact opposite approach.

hey every single journalist who still uses twitter as your primary site, does the fact that the chatbot is promoting the Final Solution rise to the level of a news story or no stop making this the global hub for news communication

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

An ICE detention facility was attacked and vandalized by armed men in Texas yesterday, but for some reason the story is getting little coverage and no traction. This seems like a bigger story. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/06/u...

Americans have been duped. Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy. That’s how you make America great.

very funny that some of the same people who spent years calling anyone sympathetic to BLM a “racial essentialist” are now up in arms that a ugandan-born south asian man would describe himself as african and asian because, of course, you can only choose one

Stop travelling to America. It’s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism If you’re American, stop going to Florida They built a concentration camp in 8 days They’ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

primary this loser

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

Rich people cutting Medicaid: “Oh whatever. We’re all going to die.” Rich people in NYC possibly getting their taxes raised by 2%: “This is class warfare and genocide against the rich.”

the zohran victory in NY is exactly what happens when people don’t just ‘go back to having brunch’

establishment and corporate democrats about to find out what “the center cannot hold” means

FOLKS

Mahmoud is home! After more than 100 days of unjust detention in Louisiana, Mahmoud Khalil has finally returned back to his wife, his son, and his community in New York.

10 reasons not to rank Andrew Cuomo *at all*

mr catsimatisis, please consider: gristedeez nutz

My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

America, we gotta national strike and walk out. It will get worse until we hurt profits.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Today’s arrest of @bradlander.bsky.social is just one disturbing example of what ICE does every single day across the country. It’s not interested in law and order—this is about spreading fear. New York City will not stand for it.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Hey btw. Use signal

The Atlantic piece on Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo is full of holes. Mamdani's proposals are picked apart and labeled unrealistic while Cuomo's supposed goals aren't even elaborated on. Cuomo is "an asshole, but he's our asshole"—the New Yorkers who he has sexually harassed might think otherwise
