God damn, Zohran just destroyed Cuomo regarding his sexual harassment of women.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

jeffries’s & schumer’s refusal to endorse mamdani as their party’s official candidate enables cuomo pushing vile, racist crap like this

Ugh Cuomo is so awful. I’d rank: 1. Mamdani — way more left than I’d usually vote but admirably scrappy and gives a shit 2. Silwa —- racist propagandist bootlicking thug 3. Theoretical candidate whose entire platform is Edward Scissorhands giving me a prostate exam streaming on Netflix 4. Cuomo

The most compelling argument against labeling the West Bank an apartheid state is if you see it not as one nation with two classes of citizenship, but two nation with one illegally occupying the other. But that’s an argument that forces you to oppose the settlements.

There is simply no compelling argument that, “it’s not apartheid because they have citizenship of the Palestinian authority, but also the settlements are fine because it’s Israeli territory.” You cannot have it both ways.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Fine but where is Brad Lander in the administration?? I need him knocking down golf courses to build housing yesterday.

BTW, it really does appear that Tori Amos created the first known pumpkin spice latte. (Not a joke!)

“Why Mamdani frightens Jews like me- reactionary ‘make Israel great again’ likudnik dumbfucks.” Mamdani has a majority of Jewish support *in NYC* and around the US. But go on with the “ooga booga brown man”, bedbug.

The thing about Bret "Bedbug" Stephens is that he's just a rank Islamophobe. It's the same tired shit we all heard after 9/11, and the same tired shit Republicans tried to do with Obama's name.

Hahahahah Gotta say, I’ve heard some incredible “off the record” jokes over the past 24 hours

By the way, if the administrator of DOGE would like to text me, I’m on Signal at annabower.24!!

Do you approve or disapprove of the president by himself ordering the unsanctioned killing of people in international waters 1500 miles away from the US without offering any proof whatsoever that they're drug smugglers? bsky.app/profile/toda...

you know it is not at all difficult to acknowledge the legitimate concerns about the tattoo and still make a case for the candidate. but this would require maturity, a perspective outside ones own and a willingness to lose a little face, which means it won’t happen.

My signal is annabower.24 if any other United States Attorneys want to text me!

Subscriptions rely on defaults and inertia. We don't cancel apps we might barely watch. So it takes a lot to get people to exit, and many of those people will not soon return.

The silver lining is the Professor still has his faculty job, but this is explicitly viewpoint discrimination, a message that there is no such thing as faculty governance. All admin must be aligned with a political party. For all the talk of leftist indoctrination, this is no different from China.

Civil rights passed via laws, and represented popular will. They are being dismantled by administrative action. The courts that say that administrators can undermine Congress and statute are letting it happen, because they are also all in on the same project.

The only explanation for this is that these people would disprove the administration’s narrative about the identity of the people we are murdering. I’m a little surprised they didn’t just straight-up murder these two in custody. That’s who the government is now.

According to Russ Vought, this is essential government work that must be continued throughout the shutdown

I don't think folks have any conception of how radicalized a lot of moms are becoming as they go through shit like "will my babysitter get kidnapped" and "will my child be able to get the measles vaccine"

These goons thrive on trolling the libs, and you can just block them and move on with your life. Ignoring them is far more effective than dunking on them in their mentions.

white house has joined bluesky click here to block all official us government accounts instantly bsky.app/profile/did:...

"Debate me, bro" from the guy spending $1 million to bolster the failing campaign of the guy who actually did debate him last night. Incredible loser energy from Ackman. No amount of money can make anyone respect him.

The Supreme Court Case declaring that Nixon could not impound appropriated funds was literally an infrastructure case involving New York City.

This is the beauty of BlueSky. No-one will be force-fed this via algorithm. Trolling draws blocks rather than amplification.

Hard to think of a more peak ICE behavior than *racial profiling the cop arresting you for driving drunk* ICE is just a government jobs program for the worst people in the country

BREAKING: Judge Illston says she is expanding her TRO blocking shutdown RIFs as to any AFSCME and AFL-CIO members or bargaining units to include NFFE, SEIU, and NAGE union members or bargaining units AND any members/units removed under EO 14251 whose removal is subject to legal dispute.

No Kings rallies are goldmine opportunities for organizing people for further acts of resistance and reconstruction of the American government. Absolutely refrain from discouraging benign organizing-related acts of personal information sharing. Don’t tie our communicative hands behind our backs.

while a lot of admin’s wrongs are described by the Declaration of Independence’s complaints, its worth noting that Trump is seeking powers far beyond even those wielded by George III

let he who has not lived on an ill-advised food for a month or more cast the first stone

In light of the fact that students protested the university's participation in genocide, Cole argues that the university should reinstate disciplined students, ask NYC to drop criminal charges, and reopen campus gates to the public. All very reasonable points.

A dark batch of headlines tonight. @wsj.com @nytimes.com @axios.com @politico.com

Subject of Investigation: Are some Congressional Republicans Nazis Means of Investigation: look at them Conclusion of Investigation: yeop

The more people turn out this weekend, the more obvious the lie here

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

This line from Mamdani's father just really struck me. Great profile: “I was an Indian in Uganda. I was a Muslim in India. And I was all of these things in New York City,” Mahmood Mamdani explained to his son. And “to be a minority is also to see the truth of the place amidst the promise of it.”

Human rights advocates and healthcare workers are still calling for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, who has been detained under harsh conditions by Israel for nearly a year.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Pope to journalists: “…it is worth remembering Hannah Arendt’s warning that ‘the ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.’”

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

They finally acknowledged Melissa Hortman but are using her to justify their ongoing suppression of dissent, skating over the fact that her killer was not Antifa but a Trump supporter who had a long list of other Democrats, abortion rights advocates and health care officials he planned to target.

Good lord. The MMWR is a hallmark of public health practice. Firing its editors will impact you and how your local health department functions.
