I've quickly created a feed, which you can pin for any Grand Slam match updates I post under #breakzone - go follow it now :)) bsky.app/profile/did:...

For the last two years, I've been diving as deep into women's soccer as I could, trying to become an expert on both WHAT to watch and also HOW to watch it. I've turned that expertise into a newsletter, so you all can enjoy women's soccer! this-week-in-womens-soccer.ghost.io/this-week-in...

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

THE WHOLE ASS POINT

Taking back America: I love being an American I love being a New Yorker I love taking the 1 train I love that there is an upright bass player in my train. I love that my kid goes to public school I love that we can laugh I love that we can all connect And for those who can't, you have failed.

This is not the language of the government of a free country.

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

hey, quick question: what’s it gonna take

Liberté, Égalité, Chardonnay

THIS. This is four minutes of something that helped. Definitely worth a listen. Especially if you think you don't have time for it.

“The shared laughter in a crowded theater, the eager debrief after a musical, the heavy silence that hangs over all of us in a drama — these are moments that every New Yorker deserves,” Mamdani said Hell yes. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/t...

I have been as impressed by the normal people of this country as I have been disgusted by elite institutions and every bit of optimism I have that we are going to make it comes from that

Hey, NYC, a friend is organizing a candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good -- 6 pm Friday, 1/9 in Harlem.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

Oh yeah one more reminder. There’s going to be a lot more upsetting videos before there are less of them. So be kind to yourself and stop auto-playing videos and gifs. You do it in Settings-> Content and Media per 👇

The bravest fucking people. Here's the video they are referencing (of the protest, not the murder): bsky.app/profile/emil...

March happening now in NYC in solidarity with Minneapolis following the ICE killing of legal observer Renee Nicole Good.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

It must be the winter blues not another war for oil Gotta be seasonal depression Not the digital rape of women who dare to exist on the Internet A little Vitamin D will do the trick While the tech bros sacrifice humanity and the natural world to their AI dieties (1/2)

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here? And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site? No money for Musk, ever, please.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

I stopped using twitter a year ago and tonight I fully deactivated the account. Goodbye indeed, thanks for all the fascism.

Once again begging journalists to write about Mount Sinai, one of the biggest hospital systems in NYC, splitting with Anthem, one of the biggest insurers in NYC. Crickets!!!

Oh fuck yes we’re doing public landlord denunciations

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

how old were you when you figured out that we're the baddies?

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

We're going up, up, up, it's our moment!

“After just having taken my oath to become the mayor of the city of New York, I do so also here in the old City Hall subway station – a testament to the importance of public transit to the vitality, the health, the legacy of our city.”

BREAKING Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.

mayor mamdani in 24 hours 😎

Happy Bachxing Day! 🎻 Some of you already know the drill -- please give me your best Bach performance links, puns, memes, or simply “name that Bach” (e.g. WTF Bach, which I have lovingly nicknamed the Bach on our poster by Giuseppe Lipari) Please stay with the thread for a real groaner:

Portland folks, please share - looking for this kitty's home!

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

My mayor and my neighbors ❤️

This is obviously a, ah, provocative take on the subject, but it indeed an enormous societal problem that children have stopped walking or biking to school. There are plenty of individually rational reasons parents might drive their kids to school, but, in a wider context, no good reasons.

went to bed with a mass shooting, waking up with a different mass shooting

This is so lovely and uplifting... Normalize politicians performing chamber music. Mamdani and Gidon Kremer next?

Hey, it's still #FollowFriday, so if you're in NYC, please follow these awesome folks if you care about fighting for a more progressive city! go.blacksky.community/RKuK1Hz

Trump drooling over Mamdani in the Oval Office the same day Hakeem Jeffries voted to condemn socialism could not be funnier to me
