A big thank you to Shaw-nae for warmly welcoming us, sharing her history and her home. As she often says, Staten Island truly is the borough of many memories.

And for the record, Mr. Martini, the Italian immigrant who Mr. Potter disgustingly disparaged as a “garlic eater,” and who received a chance for a decent home from the Bailey Business& Loan, is essentially the stand-in for the forbears of ppl like ICE enforcer Greg Bovino (Italian-American).

Next year will be a once in a generation election where we have the opportunity to flip the Governor's Mansion AND the State House. Join Rep. Ruwa Romman for the 1st stop of the Georgia We Deserve Tour where we ring in the New Year together and commit to a Georgia we can afford and where we belong.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The new documentary "Sun Ra: Do the Impossible," will premiere on PBS' "American Masters" series on Feb. 20. www.portlandmercury.com/music/2025/1...

I've known Matt DeMateo for almost 20 years and I am so glad to see the work of New Life Centers uplifted: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/o... - Matt is the real deal and he would be the first to refuse to be pedestaled. But he really is a singular human being. Chicago is lucky to have him.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Chicago!

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Solidarity is the only way

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Black people have been asking this question for a very long time.

I appreciated the opportunity to meet with neighbors in East Elmhurst, Corona and LeFrak City last night at @maketheroadact.bsky.social as we continue to build this movement to make our city affordable.

Fire, brimstone, ukuleles & giant dancing animals😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

The conservative majority simply blocks off reality to justify its ends. Today’s decision is as chilling as it gets. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

We can set an example for the whole nation in this election.

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million preapproved dollars intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure, according to documents obtained by The Post.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...

The ICJ’s advisory opinion for the first time gives the Pacific and all vulnerable communities a legal mechanism to hold states accountable and to demand the climate action long overdue. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

NY has a sixth borough? Plano. News to me.

The sun cast incredible crespuscular rays during last night's saffron hued sunset. Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

it is very good timing that i wrote "mike johnson has no dick" just days before he demonstrated the fact for all to see www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/o...

America in a nutshell.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

When Hakeem Jeffries became the leader in House, I told the @financialtimes.com, “It really remains to be seen whether Jeffries is capable of leading a coalition that includes a rising progressive wing of the party." He has had two years to prove that he wants the left in the party. He's failed.

So funny. 😂😂😂

The WNBA All-Stars came out wearing warmup shirts that said, "Pay Us What You Owe Us." The players' union met with the WNBA Thursday and came away frustrated with the economic model proposed by the league. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Shout this!

🚨Federal judge orders DHS to limit “roving patrols” in Los Angeles. The judge finds that the evidence shows that DHS officers are racially profiling people to demand their papers, which all sides agree is illegal, and orders DHS to stop those unlawful practices.

just setting these next to each other

So it's frustrating to hear things like "This is the darkest timeline" and "late-stage capitalism." Yes things suck & you gotta vent. But... do people think the US started in 1960? We really forget our country, and capitalism, *started* with people on the auction block.

internalizing american notions of race and ethnic division as timeless truths about the world is a shortcut to smoothing out your brain

#photography #stunday I bring you colors.

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

“Our sankofa is our survival”

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

In his final year as Mayor, Eric Adams and his hand-picked Rent Guidelines Board delivered one last blow to struggling rent-stabilized tenants. New Yorkers are desperate for city government that lowers costs instead of raising rents. Change is coming.

It’s probably not great to wake up this pissed off. Then I think of how pissed off Justice Jackson must be.

Our campaign offers a glimpse of what city government can look like: energetic, focused, and always bringing people in.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

Folks, it’s free. Learn. Please.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
