The Washington Post may have fired everyone but they haven’t lost sight of their mission

seems like the clearest purpose of the war is to reopen the thing that closed because of the war?

Very true. My mom and her friends, elderly, normie Midwest Dems, all love AOC

Attn: Israel Do not make me part of this narrative

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

Really appreciated the opportunity to talk to @brookegladstone.bsky.social @onthemedia.bsky.social about the Anthropic-OpenAI-Pentagon mess. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Me to Paul Newman’s family at the funeral: may his memory be a dressing

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

NEW: The definitive story of how Trump took an almost inevitable path to a new Middle East war: Netanyahu repeatedly urged him to attack Iran with Israel, and no aides voiced opposition. Netanyahu also undermined diplomacy. Regime change became the goal. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...

This guy gets it.

fwiw I tend to think this sort of "obvious bipartisan consensus" shtick re: braindead US Middle East policy is pretty quickly approaching terminal status in dem politics guys like shapiro are dead enders fighting a rear guard action, not a sign of strength of the position

Public libraries are actually existing examples of the world we want. We should not have to fight for them under a democratic socialist mayor. @nycplan.org is organizing a response. Tell Mamdani to make good on his commitment to baseline funding for libraries! nycplan.org

I work in procurement and our vendors have been rolling out AI systems and... it has been a disaster. The AI gets everything wrong and I have to navigate a labyrinthian telephone menu to get to a human to fix it. This has big "We'll colonize the moon in 10 years!" Musk energy.

Analilia Mejia was doing ICE Watch trainings at her campaign events. She was preparing future constituents for encounters with immigration agents. And she won. In an interview with @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social, one of her big priorities: end ICE's mass surveillance. prospect.org/2026/02/11/p...

Yesterday, after explaining how he rations his pancreas medication due to cost, my 80 y.o. dad proudly showed me the hi-vis vest he has for neighborhood patrol, and I became acutely aware of the rage I hold for all the actions/inaction that have led us here. So today I joined the @twincitiesdsa.org

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

is mejia the most dark woke congressperson???

With Zohran Mamdani now mayor, Diana Moreno’s run for his old assembly seat in Queens tests how durable democratic socialist organizing has become in New York.

In a few short months, @DianaforQueens built an incredible coalition and ran a movement campaign that earned nearly 75% of the vote last night. I'm grateful that she will serve out my term in the Assembly, and hopefully many to come. Astoria is in good hands.

MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

you don't say? at some point we're going to acknowledge what every study ever on this subject has said, right? right? www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

An easy victory for DSA organizer, and Democratic nominee, Diana Moreno in the legislative race to replace Mamdani: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/n...

Martinez ends her testimony with this: "If there's not justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government."

This morning, I was joined by family, friends, supporters, and volunteers as we walked down Steinway to cast our ballots for Assembly. Now, I'm asking you to join me by voting before 9pm—to fight Trump's authoritarianism and continue our movement for a Queens we can afford.

Polls opened at 6am across Astoria and Long Island City, and our volunteers were there to greet the first voters of the day!

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

We had so many canvassers this morning, we had to launch them from two different locations 😱 Thank you to our @socialists.nyc comrades from Flatbush and the Labor Working Group for coming out to knock some doors, even with below-freezing temperatures ❄️

In the 80s my grandmother, very much a product of the New Deal, used to say that Republicans would make us all slaves if you let them. For a while I thought she was being hyperbolic.

this is fucking insane and she's barely trying, you will never convince me AOC haters on the left are not just weird freaks

One very cool effect of the left winning elections, and our profile rising, is that our voices are increasingly represented in mainstream media here in NYC. Whether it’s @susankang.bsky.social on NY1 or @ericblanc.bsky.social on WNYC. Wasn’t the case not that long ago!

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
