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.

America’s farmers, whose soybean crops that were sold to China have been replaced by Argentinian soybean exports (cuz tariffs), must be furious that Trump is sending $20 billion in taxpayer money to that country to bail out its rightwing leader in the upcoming elections.

To be kind is to believe in others when they forget to believe in themselves. Every act of kindness plants a seed of courage for someone else. 🧡🧡🧡 #kindness #KindnessMatters

Out canvassing on a beautiful day for Mikie Sherrill and New Jersey Democrats up-and-down the ballot in north Jersey. Let’s all do our part! #NJGov

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Food for thought. Innovative approaches are necessary to confront the complex forces leading us into a slide into autocracy. Resistance is not futile, but we need to be smart about it.

Want to read the Epstein files? Or important climate reports? You’ll probably need a FOIA office for that. Use FPF's new tool to help us tell Congress that Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to all their records.

Great minds post (and repost) alike! Thanks @drhaup.bsky.social for helping spread a reason for hope and optimism this beautiful Sunday morning!

Just what I needed to read this morning. Do not underestimate our ability to stand up and push back. Please share with anyone who is discouraged or apathetic or does not yet realize the importance of making their voice heard. We are making history. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Keep the encouraging and thoughtful posts coming!👍

Joy Fun Love Peace Dignity Equality Wisdom Fairness Respect Empathy Inclusion Progress Kindness Tolerance Happiness Generosity Compassion Sustainability Understanding These are the virtues which we must prioritize in order to survive as a nation, as a species, as a civilization, and as a planet.

Political cartoon from 1953. Still relevant today. Maybe one day we’ll learn to build our society upon the pillars of healthcare, education, science, and the arts. Instead, we get endless wars and greedy insatiable billionaires.

Please help share and connect to these great folks! These are some great friends and favorites from the old Twitterverse! go.bsky.app/G8oCWjd

I’m always happy to recommend King’s books anytime. More than one student has taken me up on it. There are indeed dark and adult themes in many of his books, but that’s people. You can’t say he doesn’t also show us goodness, even godliness, as well. Andy Dufresne and John Coffey come to mind.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

Open the “starter/follow pack” and then discover 🦋💙 fellow resisters you deem worthy of being added to your circle. Please remember to repost this. Why re-post? Because we want to be sure we have the biggest, baddest, howling mob of lefties to chase fELON leader out of office. #BlueCircleChosen🦋

Yes! Use the terminology of narcissism to label it what it is. “Gaslighting” and “Blameshifting.” The only way to effectively confront this behavior is assertively and directly.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Why Portland? This is why.

Yep, that’s the narcissistic playbook. Be grandiose and entitled and think you’re the smartest person in the room despite your incompetence and then blame shift to project all your mistakes and weaknesses on everyone else. We need to start calling out their narcissistic behavior in these terms.

No matter how upsetting and scary the world gets, as long as Kermit is around I can still smile. 😊

🚨Some exciting news: I'm stepping out on my own & launching an independent media venture, supported by you! Strange times call for a particular gutsiness & that's what you'll get in "The Red Letter," my new home for in-depth reporting, scoops, interviews & so much more...

“A Portland Police Bureau assistant chief said in court recently that federal police were “instigating” some of the clashes between officers and protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland.” www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

This is a declaration of war against United States citizens

Sanders’ book should be required reading for anyone striving for widespread economic reform.

The GOP is the biggest bunch of hypocrites on this planet

There’s a reason he’s The Boss.

WANTED A country of non greedy educated people. Everything else follows from that.

The gaslighting hypocrisy is astounding. It literally can make you feel like you’re going crazy. “Crazymaking” and “word salads” are indicative of extreme narcissism. It’s normal to feel this way, but we can’t afford to let that make us distracted. There are proven ways to deal with this. Use them.

We can do this!

A little good news here from Texas to get your weekend off to a hopeful start… youtube.com/watch?v=62wS...

Sinclair is caving and bringing back Kimmel. Money, folks. Public pressure. They dont have the numbers. Remember this and increase the efforts.

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

We are all struggling. They want us to break mentally so we give up and give in. Take a day or two away from the news. Even a week. Find something to take you away, bring you joy and recharge your mental batteries. We can and will do this together! Darkness will not win!

DC comic writer Alan Moore, creator of Watchmen, also conjured the trench-coated, chain-smoking British reprobate John Constantine—who this year celebrates his 40th birthday, writes @davidmbarnett.bsky.social. www.prospectmagazine...

The lack of empathy for Black voices, like Karen Attiah’s — but also the students, teachers, professors, and first responders who haven’t been vindicated like Kimmel — is the clearest and coldest indicator of what’s to come. And what is here.

The majority of banned books are by Black authors — a University of Colorado Boulder study found that authors of color were 4.5 times more likely to be banned than white authors.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

Adam Serwer was right. The cruelty is the point. Why more people aren’t calling it exactly what it is encourages the normalization of cruelty and sadism. When people act like they enjoy hurting others, they need to be confronted directly every time. History shows this is a slippery slope.

This is 100% on point. That’s where the lolly-gagging approach after Trump’s first term so dreadfully missed the opportunity to prevent everything happening now. Not only should we be preparing to get out the vote, we need to have a plan to hold this administration accountable.

More people should be talking about this.
