The mayor of New York absolutely loves New York and every person in it. I'm not crying, you're crying.

Having a kid is like going from a consensus driven deliberative system to an executive and unicameral legislature. Suddenly there's this person that can veto anything, but you can usually override it if you have the will.

There will never be another NYC mayor quite like Eric Adams.

Happy Mayor Mamdani, New York!

Millennial socialist mayor, let's goooooooooooo!

This is basically the reverse of the New York City Council, which shot up from 65 local laws in 2010 to 185 local laws this year. Local and state government is where stuff happens. As opposed to grandstanding and constituent vilification in Congress. *Original image with alt text in next post.*

*Stares in "Are you kidding me?"*

The team at @nysfocus.bsky.social really does great work unpacking how power functions in NY State. nysfocus.com/2025/12/23/h...

I went upstairs to get the Christmas tree at my parents' house and found an unbuilt master grade Nu Gundam I apparently bought in my teens and forgot about. So. Merry Christmas to me from half-my-age me.

I can relate, Murderbot. I can relate. #murderbot #slyart

I don't understand what I am looking at, but you all have to see this, too. Is George Sai's mom in this picture?

We've lived to see the Birthday Problem slowly becoming applicable to mass shooters.

Thinking about how some students at Brown experienced the second school shooting of their lives because that's the way our country works right now. And we could do something about it, but repeatedly choose not to.

Hello friends. I will be running an all day SHENMUE 3 charity stream in aid of Palestine. You can come watch here: www.twitch.tv/supereyepatc... and you can donate here: tiltify.com/@supereyepat... Here is a preview

"Trump will just defy court orders, what's even the point of litigating" This, this a point

i stand by this statement every year

This has to be a non-starter for senate dems. has to be.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

To say this is absolutely wild and cruel is to undersell this and every other sinking the US has done in its fight against "narco-terrorists," a term made up because if you call someone a terrorist we're supposed to think the government can do whatever it wants to stop them.

Tom Stoppard was one of my favorite playwrights. Arcadia is one of my favorite plays. This weird art nerd just wanted to write about math and science and people all intersecting and he inadvertantly helped spark a new way of fighting breast cancer. Art is amazing.

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern. As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more. Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

The best part is he wasn't even playing Caeser.

There is no way to read these agreements, at a moment when the presidency is so obviously both lawless and unpopular, other than a willful collaboration by university administrators who see utility and purpose in the overreach by a flailing fascist government.

This is cool. More like this, please.

Israel's justification for this is an "armed terrorist" entering an "Israeli-held area" and failing to injure anyone. The reporting doesn't indicate Israel claimed the person was Hamas, just a "terrorist." So then they just drone strike places, killing and wounding mostly women and children.

As mayor of New York Mamdani controls access to the one thing Trump values above all else: tickets to CATS.

Kinda starting to think that if you surrounded Trump with vaguely charismatic leftists he'd do random socialist stuff. Like, not because he likes any of it, but because the whole "he listens to the last person he talked to" thing is utterly true with the caveat that they have to have /some/ juice.

This is, to a first order approximation, true and extremely funny.

Ha. Haha. Hahahahahahahahaha!

A man died today at the Rikers Island jail complex. He was just hours away from an expected release. This year, 13 people have now died in the NYC jails. That is *nearly triple* the number of people who died in the NYC jails in all of 2024. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/21/r...

the sooner people internalize this about the dems, stop projecting their fantasies on the party, and start demanding more, the better off we’ll all be.

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

There should be a SiriusXM station that just plays Green Hill Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog on loop 24/7.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

It me.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

Well, unfortunately

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you do not keep the government shut for more than a month and then NOT get a deal on the main item you have been messaging on without completely shifting the blame dynamic.

How does Tuesday happen and the following Sunday you're like "What if we shot ourselves in the stomach. Also, our constituents."

"I'm not a member of any organized political party—I'm a Democrat"

One senator could burn a lotta bridges but become a hero if they just said this and then named every single senator actually for real in favor of this regardless of their vote.

There is a nonzero chance that a bunch of people who didn't cave are gonna face primaries next year solely to put the fear of God in the ones that did and aren't retiring. Good.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Vibes among House Democrats and activists, "The Senate is the enemy"

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

I'm sorry, is Cuomo seriously thinking about running for Nadler's seat, because lol. Lmao.

Open AI should simply cease to be.
