He'll be asked about this until he is dead and in the grave or until he turns to the camera and says he thinks Palestinians should be killed en masse or give up and accept living under apartheid for the rest of time.

Mamdani is going to bring him that snowglobe that plays "Memories" from CATS and we're going to get government grocery stores nationwide

We've gotten $500 from DC donors today! Can you pitch in (or ask a friend) to help us get to $750 by the end of the day and $3,200 by the end of the month? secure.actblue.com/donate/aparn...

Our first 1,000+ door day of the campaign! 🚪🍂 Thank you to everyone who came out to canvass in Columbia Heights! We will win a DC and a Ward 1 that works for the people, not for billionaires or developers. Door by door. Voter by voter.

he still thinks "migrants seeking asylum" means they were released from an "insane asylum"

Thank you to everyone who came out for our FIRST CANVASS EVER! 🚪 Such a beautiful, spooky fall day to talk to voters about how our campaign will fight to lower the cost of living and defend DC, and to hear from people about what they want to see in Ward 1. ✊🏾🍂💀

This would strip *thousands* of DC residents who live in 2-4 unit buildings of their TOPA rights. TOPA is the first right to buy your home — a key tenant right in DC. DC residents had NO opportunity to testify on this because it was a last-minute amendment to the bill. No one should support this.

Time and again, members of UNITE HERE Locals 25 & 23 have fought for a voice on the job, better pay & benefits, and dignity. Yesterday, I met with members across the region and in Ward 1 specifically to talk about what a pro-labor Council could look like. When we fight, we win! ✊🏾

Today, we commemorate Indigenous People’s Day and honor the histories and resilience of the Nacotchtank, Piscataway, and Pamunkey peoples who were the original inhabitants of present-day DC.

raising $40,433 entirely through small-dollar donations (averaging just $35!) in less than two months is absolutely NUTS 😭😭😭 people are ready to elect a real fighter and working class champion in ward 1!! 🩷🧡✊🏽 join us to make it happen ➡️ airtable.com/appTUXuvFKYK...

What a night! ✨ First, we stopped by the @dclatinocaucus.bsky.social mixer at La Cosecha to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Then, we had a house party in Mount Pleasant to meet neighbors and hear what they hope to see from a councilmember. Thank you Irene, Caleb, and Rami for hosting!

Workers are the backbone of DC. But for too long, it's been a struggle to get by and now, labor is under attack. DC for Workers, by Workers is our new policy platform to strengthen workers' rights, support unions, raise the wage, increase benefits, and keep bad actors in check.

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

“good news, we’ve created the playroom that tells kids whatever they want to hear and makes them not care about their parents from the seminal Ray Bradbury short story, Don’t Create the Playroom That Tells Kids Whatever They Want to Hear and Makes Them Not Care About Their Parents”

Nadeau blaming the Uncommitted campaign for Trump is such tired bullshit. Uncommitted voters, of which I am one, were largely loyal Democrats who wanted to influence their party and were all but expelled for their tenacity.

The Mayor’s office explicitly confirms what we’ve seen on the ground: MPD continue to be collaborators. This is absolutely unacceptable, and we have the local power to stop this. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

this article shows how critical local partnerships are for ICE to hit their numbers, which is why you should keep the pressure on your local city governments to refuse cooperation with them

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many

Workers built DC and they make this city run. Today, we’re proud to announce that 4 major unions representing workers in food service and hospitality, public transit, and DC government have endorsed our campaign: @unitehere.org Locals 23 and 25, @atulocal689.bsky.social, and AFGE Local 2725 ✊🏽🥳

mRNA medicine is a miracle. We should be investing in it HARD as a country, not cutting it.

The Holocaust Museum’s new slogan: “Again and again for everyone”

The cause of labor is the hope of the world! Throughout history, we’ve seen labor defeat billionaires, bad bosses, and oligarchs to guarantee rights for all of us. The current occupation in DC is another moment showing that we need the force of organized labor to defeat fascism.

"HuffPost asked Bowser whether she’d received any commitment that the 'crime emergency' would end as scheduled after 30 days. She suggested it might not, and that the city would be OK." ??????

fucking christ man

All of this is performative cruelty directed solely to avoid admitting they fucked up when they illegally sent him to cecot in March.

America now

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

really cannot describe the energy in the room last night as Aparna was giving her speech to 200+ people. chatted with some attendees who have literally never volunteered for or donated to a candidate before! this campaign has tapped into something—people want and are ready to fight for so much more

ICE getting routed in my old DC Columbia Heights hood. Public, viral, resistance is the only way to prevent them from selling the idea that we love our red state military occupation are it’s a solution to urban ills Trump/Bondi/drunk Pirro are lying. Here’s how to expose the lie.

This is so, so sad to see. The vendors are a part of our community. They bring life to a part of the neighborhood that's surrounded by big box stores and corporations. And I'm so angry that they are forced to hide to stay safe.

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here. The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

We have severely lost the plot! This coordination and cooperation with Trump to target DC residents is dangerous, unacceptable and violates our Sanctuary Values Act! I’m disgusted that we would abandon our values and our people in this way. Stand for something! Defend our values!

574 DC donors, hitting the public financing threshold 2 hours after launch, and raising $30K all from small-dollar donations of $50 or less in only 15 hours is absolutely nuts 😭😭😭 if you’ve ever wished DC had a Zohran of our own, i’m telling you right now, this campaign is it!! 🌹

If you don’t know Aparna, I can’t blame you if you’re shocked at these record breaking day one numbers. But I’ve organized with Aparna for years, so I know she delivers — every time. Can’t wait for her to do the same as my Councilmember!!

“You can sweep away an encampment, but you’re not sweeping away homelessness. The person is still homeless, they’re just in a different spot.”

So much of modern American politics has to be viewed through the prism of “Don’t ever try to make me feel a feeling”

I am delighted that @aparnafordc.bsky.social is running for Council. She has been a leader in the fights for workers' rights, tenants' rights and a more affordable DC. Today is launch day and if you get a move on, you can still join me as a Day 1 donor. LFG!

Aparna is both a tenant and labor organizer - need more of those people on city councils. check out the launch video

People are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District. It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here. That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1. Join us: aparnafordc.com/donate

🚨 Today, the Council is voting on a plan to pause Initiative 82, which helps ensure tipped workers can earn a living wage. Swipe ➡️ to learn why suspending I-82 would harm workers and undermine the will of District voters.

🚨Hidden within the budget presented to the DC Council this week was a provision that would roll back essential protections for our vibrant immigrant community – neighbors who are a vital thread within the District’s fabric.

When she says she cares about all children she really means the ones currently being slaughtered and that is offensive to me.

deleted a post that wasn't worth it. I'll say this instead: Jimmy Carter is I think the only figure in US history to have devoted his post-presidency to atoning for being president. To be president is to author suffering in the specific & abstract, & to hope you did enough to outweigh it.

the word 'deported' is being pretty commonly misused

do you think everyone who supported “strengthening border security” the last twenty years will be surprised when they die and wake up in hell

this guy is a world class asshole

unbelievable cruelty.

For the FT, I wrote an essay about why the daily experience of the Internet keeps getting worse, tipping us into madness and conflict. I gather ideas about slop, enshittification, and dead internet theory under what I call "the hostile Internet." www.ft.com/content/5d06...
