Looks like foreigners don't want to risk being imprisoned by ICE just for a chance to see a soccer game.

“40% of Americans cant handle a $400 emergency.” Meanwhile Trump is waging war in the Middle East and spending tax dollars on a ballroom nobody wanted.

Jon Stewart on the Daily Show tonight roasting missing Congressman Tom Kean Jr. … who none of his Republican colleagues even noticed he was missing. Delicious! nypost.com/2026/04/23/u...

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

It’s too easy for oligarchs like Jeff Bezos to exploit workers to enrich themselves. It’s time we say enough and make them pay their fair share #boycott

Hundreds of bottles of warm piss were placed in various locations around the Met prior to the Bezos Met Gala! Drink up bitches! #FuckBezos #EatTheRich #EndOligeachy #EverybodyHatesElon

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 NYPD should not be working with ICE.

1. ICE has not paid for detainee medical care for 7 MONTHS The termination of payments to providers has coincided with a MASSIVE SPIKE in detainee deaths. This is a health crisis and a moral crisis. Follow along for details. 🧵

Happy Star Wars Day, NJ! May the fourth be with you.

(sigh) this is exactly what I warned of last fall. Trump/Republicans WANT as many people as possible to downgrade to shitty catastrophic plans with sky-high deductibles & copays. That's not a byproduct of their ACA sabotage, it's the ENTIRE POINT. charlesgaba.substack.com/p/let-them-e...

🧵 Thom is telling the truth!

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tel everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Rudy Giuliani is in ‘critical condition’ in a Florida hospital. I hope he gets the level of care he deserves.

The Five Boro Bike Tour is like riding through our city with 30,000 friends! Glad to run into these two on the FDR southbound: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & (fellow former comptroller) @liunewyork.bsky.social.

I used to have sympathy for small family farmers, even though most consistently voted Republican. Brad should have known better. But the corporatization of massive amounts of privately held farmland is bad for the US, for public health, and for democracy.

1. When was the last time you had to show your ID to walk into a restaurant? 2. If he means to purchase liquor, unlike the SAVE act, I don’t have to prove citizenship with a birth certificate or passport to do that. 3. Going to a restaurant isn’t a right.

Chinese researchers have created a bamboo-based plastic as strong as petroleum-based plastics, which can fully biodegrade in soil in just 2 months phys.org/news/2025-10...

Call her and let her know you want her to do this.

Note as it's pretty important that New Jersey could not do it this year. It'd have to amend the state constitution first, and what Sherrill is proposing here is looking ahead to 2028.

Putin is happy.

Some people are.. just not…. smart. The Voting Rights Act WAS *CODIFIED* when it passed and was signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon Baynes Johnson. SCOTUS simply decided to kill it after 60 some years of being the law of the land.

We now know the Iran war price tag is more like $50 billion - hundreds of dollars per household - and counting. It's enough to cover all the health insurance premium credits that the Republicans got rid of for this year, and next. It could save rural hospitals, pay teachers, fix roads.

The supreme court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.” - Barack Obama

BREAKING: Trump just told Congress he doesn't need war authorization due to the shaky ceasefire with Iran. Today is the war's 60th day — the deadline the War Powers Resolution of 1973 designates for a president to get authorization. There's zero consensus Trump can do this.

if i were a shareholder of an american automaker id want to know why my ceos were so stupid and shortsighted that they not only didnt see this coming but actively fought it

This is not a real post. How about if we don’t turn Bluesky into a lefty doppelgänger of X?

This is a Justice Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor appreciation post. Thank you for your just and righteous voices and your fierce defense of our democracy. ❤️

once again, it is great that the president is a klan-level racist

Here is an email I received today from @democrats.org while a primary is still being held. @kenmartin.bsky.social must resign as DNC Chair now or be removed by the party. He is doing exactly what David Hogg did. I will never donate to the DNC again unless Martin resigns or is fired. @charlesgaba.com

Crime in Newark is at a 60% low in 20 years. That’s what happens when we treat violence like a public health issue and invest in solutions that don’t rely on incarceration. During National Reentry Week, I hosted a panel discussing solutions to keep our communities safe.

A Supreme Court that upholds gerrymandering in one breath and denies any protection from the overt use of race in the next is as destructive to this republic as any court that ever beat down Homer Plessy or Dred Scott. This is a betrayal of everyone who ever fought or died for American civil rights.

The House just voted unanimously to fund all of DHS except for those portions (aka, ICE) that were massively overfunded in the Big Ugly Bill. Dems, led by Rosa DeLauro introduced legislation to do that 79 days ago.

Kenilworth residents are pushing back on the construction of an AI data center in their community—and I’m joining their fight.   I introduced a bill to stop surprise AI data center development so that residents will be notified before it’s too late to change the outcome.

Congressman Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) who lives off his multimillion dollar trust fund has been missing for two months from Congress, but continues to trade stocks from his undisclosed location. www.commoncause.org/articles/con...

man I do not trust graham platner as far as I can throw him but I guess it’s him or collins now and the senate math means we are going to need his vote to have any chance to do any of the stuff we need this sucks and I sure hope I’m wrong about him

Our poll: two-thirds of Americans support term limits for SCOTUS justices, and a slight majority favors expanding the bench from 9 to 13 justices www.gelliottmorris.com/p/two-thirds...

Jeffries says everything is on the table legislatively to deal with the Supreme Court: In the new Congress, we’re going to have to do something about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear: everything is on the table.

I say all this because I watched the astronauts of Artemis II stand awkwardly behind Trump in the Oval Office today as they were being honored, and this insufferable, unremarkable prick said: "I would have had no trouble making it. I’m physically very, very good."

If Republican think we are done fighting for voting rights, fair districts and free and fair elections they are wrong. They have counted us out before only to watch us beat them in court. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

The basic view of Alito and the rest of the Roberts Court when it comes to voting rights is that black people can vote for anyone they want as long as it is a Republican.

🇺🇦🇺🇸👏

Again - the Roberts #SCOTUS is the Hormuz problem for Democrats or anyone concerned about democracy in U.S. It doesn’t matter what agenda Dems have, they’d be negligent if they don’t plan to act on an all out push to reform, rebalance (expand) to rein in the MAGA Court when they get back in power.

For democracy to survive, the next (Democratic) Congress must REBALANCE THE COURTS.

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

A bad decision for sure, and Kagan's dissent and Thomas' concurrence both treat Callais as *nearly* a maximalist strikedown of VRA S2. An early test of scope will be whether the eventual Louisiana map used in 2026 keeps Rep. Troy Carter's seat

Unsurprising authorship. Alito is the most corrupt member of the Court - though it's hard to rank among the six GOP members. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/alito-c...

Congress must also expand the court.
