I’m at the Spurs Nets game in Brooklyn primarily to root for Luke Kornet. Seeing Wemby should be cool too.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

This All-Star game format actually rules and watching Kawhi absolutely cook is a delight.

It’s truly been a privilege getting to support the incredible mechanics at Bike Plant on their journey to become worker-owners. Thanks to News 12 Brooklyn for profiling this worker co-op conversion (and look ma, I’m on the TV!)

the investigation

So in the long run the Mavs traded Luka for washed Middleton and 2 firsts...

"As a worker cooperative, each full-time mechanic now owns an equal share of the business and is entitled to an equal vote on high-level decisions such as approving budgets, business plans and company policies." brooklyneagle.com/365568/bike-...

Tomorrow. 10am. Bed Stuy. Come celebrate Bike Plant’s transition to worker ownership. Feat special guests @jabaribrisport.bsky.social and @chiosse.bsky.social I love this shop and this crew and it’s been a privilege to help them become a co-op.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

NYC stands with Minnesota. WGAE members joined today’s solidarity rally supporting the Day of Truth and Freedom and demanding justice for communities under siege by ICE. #ICEOutForGood 🚫🧊

Won’t lie, pretty great to see this at Target Center. (In case you’re wondering, lower bowl is slowly filling but I angled this as as not to show anyone who doesn’t want to be shown.)

Shabbat Shalom to the 100+ rabbis who joined clergy in Minneapolis today to say: Jews stand with our neighbors. We want ICE out of Minnesota, out of NYC, and out of all our communities.

Traitors casting were like “let’s hire a guy whose guts people hate and let him give them more ammo.”

We‘ve gotta bring back union logos that look like this

Hell yeah. Just saw this film and it fucking ruled.

Tried to go to Zohrans inauguration with the homies but there was no way we were gonna get through the line in time so now we’re watching it in a downtown Indian spot drinking chais which feels about right.

NEW YORK (AP) — Democrat Zohran Mamdani sworn in as mayor of New York City.

That’s right

Eric Adams is going to use cryptocurrency to fight antisemitism. Eric Adams is going to use samurai swords to fight food waste. Eric Adams is going to use 100 rubber duckies to fight prostate cancer. I would believe literally any combo of words hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-s...

Wayback Machine grabbed the original Epstein files dump before that photo of Trump got pulled. You can't get to the individual PDF page for the missing image, but if you click "download all files" and download it locally you can find the now-deleted file in: IMAGES / 0001 / EFTA00000468.pdf

Absolutely enormous shout outs to my former colleagues at @neweconomyproject.bsky.social and the entire NYC CLT movement for making this happen.

Yuh-Line is a real one. She’s making the right choice here and I’m excited to see what she does next and hope she has another opportunity to serve NYC in elected office soon.

The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, of mazzullaball however, is to change it.

Zohran just named @turbovax.bsky.social to his transition committee on technology.

Just thought about how mad Curtis Sliwa had to be watching Trump fawn after Zohran for 30 minutes just week after telling all the NYC Republicans to vote for Cuomo.

The funny thing about this meeting is that Mamdani didn't back down on a single policy point or anything he's said about Trump.

Nothing can possibly do justice to the incredible body language on display here—Mamdani's rigid spine, his hands clasped tightly to prevent them from punching a hole in the Oval Office window and jumping out of it, Trump repeatedly touching Mamdani's arm, smiling at him like the son he's never had.

Extremely relevant re: our president today bsky.app/profile/ceej...

Zohran seems to have charmed Trump exclusively by smiling and telling him that actually he’s “against crime” and “for housing.” I got nothing man…

donald trump endorsed zohran mamdani before chuck schumer lmao

Donald Trump clearly has not given up on his 50-year goal of trying to be friends with all the hottest celebs in NYC

Zohran’s ability to stay straight-faced through this is incredible.

Zohran has an opportunity to do the funniest thing.

I don’t hate it but I still wish they’d hired T Spoon.

"...crews decided that forcing the chicken off the train into the waiting crowd at Astoria-Ditmars could be unsafe. Rail control decided to cancel the run and send the train — and its feathered stowaway — down to the Coney Island Yard." THEY RAN THIS TRAIN ASTORIA TO CONEY W JUST A CHICKEN ON IT.

Much respect to Nydia for decades of progressive leadership and for being willing to pass the torch. Personally I like the sound of Congresswoman @sandynurse.bsky.social, but there are quite a few good options to run.

At the Nets game after spending all WNBA season going to Liberty games and it’s INSANE how much worse the Nets fan base is. Building is half full at best. Basically zero applause for player intros. Sad.

A govt shutdown is like a strike in the sense that before you start it you MUST have a concrete idea of what your leverage is and what will cause your opponent to fold. Ironically the Dems' strongest leverage point was probably "fucked up Thanksgiving travel" and they folded just before it came.

If we dont get my dream of Eric Adams competing on the next season of The Traitors at least we get this unbelievable Ziwe interview. youtu.be/-9CmFvGEXXk?...

The 'Moderate' slate championed by Jacobs was massacred on a night when the rest of the party across the country had its best election in generations. We need to purge the whole of the NY Dems operation.
