I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The way to succeed as mayor is to do this kind of stuff, make the city more livable and work better for more people everywhere you can. What the Democratic Party, NY Times and Post don't get this about Mamdani because they all imagine themselves as top down "big idea" people, when Mayor is bottom-up

it's like... they could have just DONE this at any time and instead it remained horribly dangerous as the DOT ignored it

The more unhinged this regime gets, the more they have a narrower and narrower definition of what's "acceptable" the more I suspect people are going to rebel

real conversation at the hold steady show last night: "what's up with the guy wearing a suit with sharks all over it" "that's the shark guy" "why is he the shark guy" "he has 9 toes and tells people the 10th was bitten off by a shark" "word"

NEWS: Major unions @nationalnurses.bsky.social and @ueunion.org are publicly demanding that the U.S. immediately halt military aid to Israel, recognize Palestinian sovereignty, and intervene “to put an end to the violence, starvation, and injustices being inflicted on the Palestinian people.”

i like how AI is marketed as a way to get your work done more efficiently when i spend at least a good portion of my day deleting and reporting spam emails from AI-generated lead marketers trying to recruit me or lend me money

i feel bananas for being one of what appears to be a small group of people who are not surprised

Very worried about media literacy, but Bill Burr truly makes the case for PERSON LITERACY, the sheer number of "surprised" folks is blowing my mind

hey, comedy industry. is this your king? are you serious? variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Sep 24th 1975 - After being allowed back on the air for a final farewell, Howard Beale launches into a rant about life being "bullshit", causing the ratings to spike. 📽️📅 Network (1976)

not only is kimmel back on, he sounds like fucking john oliver right now, which is a hilarious consequence for the right

this is a good time to remember that you can buy one of these and get free over the air TV - hulu what?

this is a very stupid person

i don't know if we'll get to see the actual numbers but i would bet you $100 there's another huge wave of cancelations after receiving price increase emails. not to mention the app getting stuck on the price increase screen. no one is listening to their marketing or PR departments, i guess.

oh ok. cool.

emily is a real one and once (god willing, inshallah, im yirtzeh hashem) we have mayor mamdani, dark money is going to come at the rest of our lefty electeds hard &fast. we haven't seen the half of it yet. help build up her reserves so she can keep fighting for us. secure.actblue.com/donate/emily...

have never been prouder to call emily gallagher my friend. but FUCK THIS SHIT.

there is so much that our state and city leaders (hochul, adams, etc.) could have done to help kick ICE the fuck out of NYC and instead they played nice and this happened again, which is like... did you not think they'd do it again!?!!?!? I AM SO SICK OF BEING LED BY COWARDS.

this is not about me but i've been teetering on the edge all day and i think i just went over it

a natural consequence of hoarding wealth is there being more people who can mobilize against you - which they do not seem to have thought through www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/n...

thank you so much to everyone who shared the post about my sibling's lost cat and i'm so sorry i didn't have notifications on - i didn't realize how much it had been shared and didn't respond to questions because great news - THEY FOUND HER <3 but really, thank you and my apologies.

joke's on adams, he's only been to greenpoint once and it was to point at a boat for some reason

been at the eric adams scavenger hunt all day. mostly we were in a crawlspace under a house in howard beach learning “how to out-hustle the rats.” not sure what this does for the campaign

Earlier this summer, a cyclist was badly hurt on a part of McGuinness Boulevard that had proposed safety improvements watered down, the Manhattan DA alleges, after former mayoral aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin was bribed by the Argentos. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/07/20/c...

she did not like that question

This is really a surreal, insane thing to see. Advocates put so much into trying to make McGuinness safe, and tolerated condescension and self-righteousness from Eric Adams and Ingrid Lewis-Martin at every turn. Turns out, they were being bribed the whole time!

Here's the clip from Hulu's "Godfather of Harlem" S3E3 featuring a cameo from former mayoral aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin. @manhattanda.bsky.social revealed that she got this role thanks to the Argentos, who run Broadway Stages. In return, Lewis-Martin stopped safety improvements on McGuinness.

“The charges involving the Argento siblings are expected to relate at least in part to a strange, prolonged saga surrounding” safety improvements to deadly McGuinness Boulevard. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/n...

NEW: Jesse Hamilton, Mayor Adams' longtime pal who was indicted on corruption charges today, has resigned from his deputy commissioner post at the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, "effective today," Commissioner Louis Molina says in a new statement. Story coming

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
