When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

I would NOT be here if it were not for miscarriage management. I was fortunate that these draconic laws were not in place. I was fortunate that I had a ER doctor & an amazing nurse who cared for me and admitted me to the hospital. I am fortunate to be alive. Every female DESERVES care.

They Didn’t Want to Have C-Sections. A Judge Would Decide How They Gave Birth. Two Florida women had to attend virtual court hearings while in labor to argue for their right to choose their own medical care.

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

calling a fascist a fascist is just truth, if you don't like it, have I mentioned the offer to go fuck yourself yet?

no I won't be toning down any rhetoric actually but they can go fuck themselves instead

Under 1000 days left in the Trump regime. We're getting there.

Really loving how the whole world is burning down because geriatric assholes won't release their fucking deathgrip on power.

An examination by ProPublica shows how thoroughly and expansively the Trump administration has overhauled the federal government into what some fear is a vehicle for making sure elections go his way.

To all who celebrate

I’m in the shop all by myself today - so let’s have the best day ever, just to prove to the others that I do do some work.

The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

JFK voice: "We do not go to the moon because it is easy, we go to the moon to get as far as possible from Donald Trump!"

I never heard of this talented man, but I bet he was a great guy. It makes one wonder how much greatness has been erased by discrimination.

I don't ask for much. I just want the world to stop burning. I want preventable diseases to be prevented. I want clean air and water. I want people to have bodily autonomy. I want him to have a massive stroke. I want more time with my dogs. I want good coffee and cannabis.

It's not hard to not watch the wizard TV show. A JK Rowling funded group just used legal threats to get every transgender member of guides kicked out. This isn't about separating art from a historic controversial artist. This is about not funding current fascism, and it's just the bare minimum.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

CBS News Radio is shutting down and all its anchors are being let go. This is what happens when a news organization spends years trying to appease Trump instead of just doing journalism. CBS caved again and again, and it didn’t save them. It never does. Appeasement doesn’t work with

Baldur's Gate 3 is on sale. See you at camp.

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” gave a $1 trillion tax break to the 1% while taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans. Working families will die so that the very rich get even richer. Yes. We need a wealth tax on billionaires.

in case you missed it yesterday, we have released the cover for book 3 of the ANA AND DIN MYSTERIES, which is A TRADE OF BLOOD

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

This needs to be unredacted. @reptedlieu.bsky.social

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

This- when the president of the US is blatantly, loudly, vocally racist and anti-Black, it's not 'a matter of moral etiquette' but rather a concerted, pointed, violent attack against Black people from the highest seat/office in the country in the most powerful country in the world. All this in BHM

Oregon gave homeless youth $1k/month with no strings

A ProPublica-@readfrontier.bsky.social investigation found that in the past five years, toxic oil field waste has spewed out of the ground more than 150 times. Oklahoma’s regulatory agency, however, previously said it prefers “to lead with a handshake instead of a hammer.”

A cabal of pedophiles conspired to destroy the US government from within by seeding fascist ideas into online forums, spreading conspiracy theories about the opposition based on their own actions, and devised an alternative currency to upend the global economy. Now they run the US government and CBS

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Americans know our health care system is broken. A recent poll found that 70% of Vermonters support a Medicare for All single-payer system. Congress must understand that health care is a human right — not a privilege. We must pass Medicare for All.
