Have politicians thought of why indiscriminately bombing a neighbor to “get rid of cartels” isn’t as smart or easy as they think it is? Don’t they realize this makes any American more of a target abroad, especially if they visit said country?

I personally find it exciting we have a few excellent candidates running to replace congresswoman Nydia Velázquez in NY-7 retiring this year, BK boro president Antonio Reynoso and state assemblywoman Claire Valdez (Hell Gate interviewed her about her campaign launch: hellgatenyc.com/r/12ff4c2c?m...)

I want to share the energy of the people in New York City standing up against ICE and its blood-stained abuses against citizens and non-citizens alike. #abolishice #handsoff #handsoffnyc #sayhername #fueraice

ICE will eventually melt once SPRING comes, all of NY is ready to stand up and fight back. #handsoff #protest #sayhername RIP Renee Nicole Good!

I wanted to make a hyperlocal post related to the protests outside the courthouse where Maduro was in court here in #nyc, enjoy my newest post on #Substack. Please check it out! open.substack.com/pub/jjreport...

I came down to the court house to see how things are after 🇻🇪 president Nicolás Maduro plead “not guilty.” Everything is calm around here in Lower Manhattan, despite the small group of protesters and counter-protesters close to reporters.

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

We got this🇺🇸💙🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏 #remove47

Spent a great time at the @ridersalliance.org gala last night, I earned myself a MetroCard cookie 🥲

Forget the polls. Take nothing for granted. And let's work our hearts out these next seven days. Vote now: zohranfornyc.com/vote Canvass + phonebank: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

AOC gives props to the woman in the polka dot dress. Sometimes it takes one small act of defiance to create a symbol people can't get out of their mind.

TODAY is the first day of early voting New Yorkers. Vote for an affordable New York for all New Yorkers and cast your vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social I just did. Busy moms can make anything happen and we usually do. Make this happen today ✊✊🧡🧡

@thebulwark.com brought me here… NO KINGS!!! #protest #nyc #nokings

Attended a very interesting and insightful talk with @jelaniya.bsky.social launching his newest book: “Three or More is a Riot” with Salamishah Tillet at the Center of Brooklyn History. Thanks for hosting @bklynlibrary.bsky.social!

The No Kings Map looks PACKED. No wonder Mike Johnson is shaking in his boots! There are even 20 protests in other countries!!! ##nokings #protest

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

"A Fox News personality opined that homeless people should be put to death! How should we respond?" "Let's cancel Jimmy Kimmel." "Done."

Choose your fighter.

Dems "need to just go at this stuff and they need to *very* personalize it. I would be putting billboards in front of Mike Johnson's church, saying, does Mike Johnson support a pedophile? Child sex trafficker in a Club Fed?" Stuart Stevens joins Tim Miller:

I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends — not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?

It’s not “radical” to demand fair pay that keeps up with the cost of living. What’s radical is thinking workers should struggle while CEOs rake in record profits.

It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Won't. Stop. With. Immigrants. It. Will. Move. On. To. The. Next. Group. He. Hates.

Solidarity with the reporters, editors and photographers of the @nydnunion.bsky.social as they rallied for a fair contract and in support of my friend @cndelarosa.bsky.social's Council resolution demanding that Alden Global Capital negotiate a fair contract now.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

As someone who works with and supports individuals who rely on Medicaid I hope every single person who voted for and supports this abysmal excuse of a leader never has a moment of peace ever again.

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me. Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp he’s building in a Florida swamp. It’s frightening. It’s essential to fight back. It makes me proud of how New Yorkers voted last week – and how we’ll vote again in November.

"While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on some degree of responsibility and even courage from elites." The people are passing this test, and the elites are not.

If there is NOTHING ELSE you repost. Make this it. Hear from some of the women that Cuomo HARASSED. Thank you to @dreamfornyc.bsky.social for putting this together and sharing

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
