Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Thank you, New York City. Now let’s win.

A dispatch from the Upper East Side. Across the five boroughs, tens of thousands of volunteers are meeting their neighbors, building community, and winning this election, one door at a time. GOTV continues tomorrow: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY. If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people. Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

I don't feel like paying federal taxes anymore. I just don't think a Whitehouse ballroom improves my quality of life.

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition. Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

You'd have a lot of volunteers, George!

Hope you all are having a blessed Thursday

I think one of the reasons that americans hate taxes so much is because they've never really seen much of a return on their investment

So no terrorism then?

Keep a record of all crimes against humanity committed by ICE and Trump, it'll be submitted to the ICC. If the US is serious about accountability it is time to make becoming an ICC signatory a priority electoral demand. #3E #EndImpunity

I'm going to keep blaring this horn. dissentinbloom.substack.com/p/the-machin...

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

🚨BREAKING: New York Court of Appeals UNANIMOUSLY UPHOLDS state law moving most county and town elections to even-numbered years. By aligning them with state and federal elections, it will boost voter turnout. Another victory for voters and defeat for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

That’s right! Thanks, Fox News! www.foxnews.com/politics/squ...

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Fascinating. I still can't wrap my brain around defying logic intentionally and willfully to an end that essentially amounts to living in a parallel world. I suppose it can happen to anyone if they are in a fragile state of mind and are taken advantage of by lies. youtu.be/7_8JbGGi_oI

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Unrequited love

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

Don’t give an inch

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

There's solidarity in our agreement that almost every single American in this country believes that Stephen Miller is an abberation to humanity, and is all of a human's worst features smashed into an intolerable, short, evil, useless and probably dickless little prick.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable." President John F Kennedy

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

More messaging like this please

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

Close to a year later and Karolyin’ Leavitt still thinks what the Orange One and his regime says is “refreshing” in contrast to the previous administration? Looool.

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

I guess enjoy that service while you can. www.techdirt.com/2025/09/30/t...
