How did Zohran Mamdani go from polling at 1% to Mayor-elect of New York City?

All of this. Jewish and Muslim safety are intertwined, and like so many Jews I proudly supported Zohran Mamdani's election. We don't need an ADL aligned with Trump that stokes Jewish fear and fails to hold actual nazis accountable.

This was worth the fight -- but Dems left us. Without subsidies -- many folks will effectively lose all access to healthcare. I'm seeing folks with single-person premiums of up to $40k/ year. Why? Because disabled folks' healthcare is expensive. Without that care we can't live, work, study, etc.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

a political movement pathologically committed to vice signaling

This is why i keep saying hes a narcissist. The ASL person is there to help disabled people thats deaf. Nothing else. The hand movements help deaf people understand whats going on. If you are that insecure about it you should not be a public figure. #Disability www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It’s a race to the bottom and for the sake of permanently defeating the Republican Party to make sure those fascists never have power again every Democratic State needs to enter this race and win.

The "set aside the art from the artist" thing in this case is moot. Harry Potter money now goes right to destroying the human rights of trans persons. A billionaire who got her ass kissed for two decades got a rebuke and now she's got to wreck the lives of others.

There is a deep journalistic malpractice in writing a piece like this without ever using the words racist, xenophobic, or white supremacist.

Why is @nytimes.com claiming to know that FCC chair Brendan Carr's motives for state censorship of liberals are authentically felt, as opposed to an invented pretext? NYT headline writers can't see into Carr's mind.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

The rise of remote work coming out of the pandemic led to a historic rise in employment rates for those with disabilities. Return to office policies, in general, could reverse that trend." Thanks @emilypeck.bsky.social for interviewing me. www.axios.com/2025/09/17/c...

Very happy to share a new report I co-authored with @jasonkowalski.bsky.social and Tish Tablan on a stellar Connecticut Green Bank program. The report gives you everything on the program and how to replicate it! Next up: spreading the model across the country with @publicrenewables.org

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

Public health is a group effort. “You do you” rugged individualism doesn’t work. We vaccinate to protect ourselves and those around us. We vaccinate to protect babies, immunocompromised people and those who can’t receive the vaccine. We’ve eradicated entire diseases. RFK Jr must resign.

It’s back-to-school shopping season and many families won't be able to afford school supplies for their kids, which are already more expensive this year under Trump’s tariffs. He's coming after everyone & everything BUT the cost of living, and our families are footing the bill.

More candidates who put billionaires in group therapy.

please let one gilded age star helping zohran mean another gilded age star is about to run for nadler's seat

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

RFK Jr has taken a chainsaw to American public health and undermined the mission of HHS. It's no surprise the patriots who still believe in that mission are calling on him to resign. He is a danger to Americans' health. He should be fired immediately.

Today at school drop-off they didn't close the doors when school started because the kids weren't there. ICE had check points on the school walking paths, so nearly 30 kids were late. Shame ICE whenever and wherever, they deserve it.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

DC is under federal occupation and WaPo no longer covers local news. My funds are limited -- so I canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription and used the money to subscribe to @51st.news. Local news needs us now more than ever.

Weird, another one.

Statehood would make DC safer. So would the right to spend our own tax dollars on rehousing people— something Congress blocked in January. Over-policing doesn’t pay anyone’s rent or grocery bills or pay our school or community center budgets.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

Clearly the US' approach to the nation's mental health crisis & homelessness is not working. It's time to focus on housing – not criminalization.

I had the BEST time at the @disabilitylab.bsky.social x @crushcolonialism.bsky.social x @newdisabledsouth.org Disability Culture Cabaret: Pride Edition last night. Amazing performances, strong community, and COVID precautions to boot! Thanks for creating this space.❤️

This will have to count as my Supreme Court term review. I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway. My latest in @thenation.com
