Yesterday I was so PROUD to stand with LGBTQ+ New Yorkers alongside my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

The reverse Robin Hood: take from the poor to give to the rich.

Comments turned off. I wonder why.

Pope Leo XIV presided over his inaugural Mass in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/w...

We have memory-holed the entire coronavirus experience, as if it never happened. And we can’t understand why everything’s so weird. And I mean everything

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

It’s amazing how Trump labels the bloated Republican budget that explodes the deficit a ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ and so many media outlets now routinely use that term in their headlines & stories. Foreign leaders find Trump easy to manipulate, and Trump find media easy to manipulate.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16. Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity. 202-224-3121.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Sadly yes

Dozens of witnesses are set to take the stand in the trial, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is scheduled to testify for seven hours. The outcome could reshape the future of Meta.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

We are way past impeachment time

The Monarch #butterfly embarks on one of nature's most incredible journeys, migrating up to 3,000 miles from #Canada to central #Mexico. These tiny travelers, with wings of vibrant orange, navigate the vast distances using the sun and Earth’s magnetic fields, defying the odds

Some major public institutions in Canada, including a pension management firm and a leading hospital, are advising staff against traveling to the US.

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

When you find a new song to obsess over and listen to exclusively for the next 10 days

New pod: @swin24.bsky.social is great in explaining that the authoritarian takeover is upon us. Trump's meeting with Bukele is a coming-out party, an open declaration of US alignment with global autocrats and dictators. "It has happened here," he says. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

What was dumber: including a journalist on a signal chat about your bomb plans or then calling that journalist “bottom scum” while he still had the screenshots available to publish as your colleagues were already committing perjury

“I insist on being shocked. I am never going to become immune. I think that’s a kind of failure to see so much of it that you die inside. I want to be surprised and shocked every time.” ― Toni Morrison

Well, they lied. Obviously.

America has revealed to the world it is so stupid it has dismantled all of its security. It’s now opened the door to domestic terrorists. Even doge has helped terrorists by sacking the staff that kept Americans safe from bombs being planted. I’d be extra vigilant now as you’re not safe anymore.

Whatever happened to the "5 things " DoGe emails ? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full. Already forgotten Typical Ready Fire Aim

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

I’d love to live on a planet where politicians didn’t actively try to make life as terrible as possible for everyone except for billionaires and bigots. Humans have got so much more potential than this endless cycle of inequality, hatred, war, and greed. Break the pattern. Demand better. Be better.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

Another move to silence reporters who may question Trump’s actions - right out of the Project 2025 playbook and George Orwell’s 1984.

Getting women (who are usually the caretakers) out of the workforce is an INTENDED consequence of Medicaid cuts.

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.
