Obeying the court’s order to pause the insurrectionist slush fund is the law, and it’s not enough. Congress needs to permanently block it and rescind the self-pardon Trump gave himself, his family, and his business associates for tax crimes.

Bill Pulte is a partisan thug with no experience in intelligence. He is another unqualified Trump appointee that will make our country less safe. And you won’t hear a word from the Republicans who claim to care about national security.

PSA: No Kings is supporting watch parties for the Committee for the First Amendment Concert on June 14th- not mobilizations. There are several non-affiliated scam PACs trying to raise money by promising a mass protest that's not actually happening on June 14th. Block them and tell your friends.

We’re both proud Jewish New Yorkers. But there are sharp & clear differences between us on Israel/Palestine. For example, Dan Goldman marched alongside war criminal Bezalel Smotrich yesterday, who called it “just & moral” to starve Gaza. I did not.

I'm such a fan of the essential reporting that this team does, and I'm thrilled that they finally get to call themselves by a name they don't have to constantly EXPLAIN (no, not the government, the newsroom). Consider making a regular donation (as I do) to support them! donorbox.org/nycdonate/

Hereby drawing attention to the decency, integrity, and dignity of Andy Kim

After 18 months of work, we dropped eps 1 and 2 of our new season, The News. We think this project is making some real interventions, as @chenjerai.bsky.social likes to say, into the scattered and confused debates about "the media." Check it! @dannagal.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

New @sceneonradio.bsky.social FINALLY. And @chenjerai.bsky.social is back. OMFG. I’m very happy about thisssssssss.

Good news y’all 😉 Scene in Radio is back!

If there's anything you should read to fully grasp the corruption & depravity of Trump's $1.8B slush fund, it's this. Our aggrieved authoritarian-in-chief is literally 'taking your money and showering it on criminals.' (1/2)

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

The slush fund for J6 rioters is reparations for traitors. youtube.com/shorts/YacUb... #christiannationalism #trump #j6 #usa #politics #religion #christianity

Speaking of hope, I listened to this yesterday. It was such a delight to hear one of my favorite writers, @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, quote another favorite writer, Walter Brueggemann. wondercabinetproductions.com/rebecca-soln...

Because this country likes to forget what it’s capable of, I take it as a duty to remind us. We sit at the brink of the largest decimation of Black political power since the fall of Reconstruction — a Second Redemption. And the end of Black political power means the end of democracy itself.

Our first TV ad is up! 📺 We’ve got a fascist president, rogue ICE agents and billionaires trying to buy our elections. But around here, neighbors showing up for each other is how we fight back. My neighbors and I approve this message.

You know who actually has been the victim of political weaponization and should apply for the money? All of the FBI agents and DOJ attorneys who were fired because they participated in the investigation and prosecution of Trump.

John Lewis encouraged us to march with a spirit of love and dignity in the heat of oppression. He called it good trouble. He showed us that resistance and joy are not opposites — they are the same thing. Tomorrow, we carry that spirit in Selma. We got us. #Alabama https://bit.ly/4nv4KND

Americans are facing the highest jump in healthcare costs in 15 years, as millions struggle to cover increased costs. Meanwhile, the top six health insurers just reported $15.4 billion in first quarter earnings. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

“AI Literacy” and “Ethical AI” are marketing slogans serving as Trojan horses for the colonization and ultimate ransacking of the education sector.

Today is Wednesday, May 6 Good morning ❤️ eat take your meds hydrate tell your people you love them let them love you back We are here. This is real. Let's build a home for each other and fight like hell. All you fascists bound to lose ✊

I am so excited about my new book, AMERICA, USA: HOW RACE SHADOWS THE NATION'S ANNIVERSARIES. The book drops May 26th! Order here: prh.com/AmericaUSA

Honored that @publisherswkly.bsky.social included AMERICAN CAESAR in this article about forthcoming books on resisting Christo-fascism and authoritarianism. Incredible to have my work mentioned w/ @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social @robertpjones.bsky.social & other great scholars/writers. bit.ly/4tVToo8

I owe my position as Mayor of New York City to the power of working people and I will always govern with them in mind. 

We’ve delivered millions of dollars in corporate settlements to workers — nearly $100K each day we’ve been in office. 

We’re just getting started. Happy May Day, New York.

It was a beautiful May Day across NY-10. So energized by the workers rising up & organizing together in solidarity. The creeping forces of fascism are inseparable from the war on workers. And haven't we all had enough of the billionaires exploiting us in an attempt to become trillionaires? (1/2)

Happy Vesak Day, New York City. As Buddhist communities across our city honor the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha, we are reminded of the power of compassion. May this day bring peace to all who celebrate — and guide us as we build a kinder and more just city together.

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.

We do not concede the south, the birthplace & continued lifeblood of the Black American experience, to people who hate us. We do not throw in the towel. Black people have every right to be southerners & very much are no matter who likes it.

THIS IS BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE PHONE CALLS YOU & I MADE. We told them, we told them, we told them, & we *told* them—& Democrats HELD THE LINE. I don't think I need to tell you that heretofore, Democrats have been very cave-y! Very fold-y! But you (& you, & you, & you!) put steel in their spines 💪✊

Legit: Don't come here. I love the footie, & I love this country—it's beautiful & vibrant & full of good & great people. And I'm telling you: It isn't safe here. If you've already spent a lot of money, think of it as a sacrifice to whatever gods are looking over you & your family.

as a society we have been heavily reliant on Zoom for more than half a decade. i think it’s time Dems knew how to keep their leadership from looking like a confused fish bumping up against the aquarium glass

A well-reported update on the 15 South American people ICE sent to DR Congo two weeks ago. Trapped in a rat-infested hotel by the airport with no options but going back to the countries they fled. This is what we're doing to legal asylum-seekers who "followed the rules." www.npr.org/2026/04/28/n...

This headline from @cityandstateny.bsky.social really sums up the race! Grateful that the voters of NY-10 get to make the choice.

The Justice Department seems to be going out of its way to avoid saying that Cole Allen didn't fire any weapons at all inside the Washington Hilton — and that the officer hit was most likely hit by friendly fire. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/is-the-jus...

I feel like my wife's gonna hate this one.

I am an HBCU grad (Philander Smth), a Fulbright (Ukraine) and Peace Corps (Georgia) alum. I was on Twitter and had nearly half million followers, but trying to rebuild over here. If you didn’t know where I was, I am HERE. Please follow for all things Ukraine, FP and race and fun travel stories!

A good follow.

I applaud the Hudson River Park Trust for terminating its parking contract with ICE. ICE should take its inability to find parking as a sign: their lawless deportation dragnet is not welcome in New York City.

nobody is going to like what this country looks like if/when low-trust conspiracy-brain becomes bipartisan consensus

Sincerely I think you have a moral obligation not to aid and abet the slide of American society into rank conspiracism

Political violence is absolutely unacceptable. I am glad the President and guests at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are safe.

The dystopia of inequality--that high table for the lords and ladies; the dystopia of violence--all the federal guns suddenly on display; the dystopia of incompetence (they had one job: to keep a shooter out); the dystopia of normalization.

And the dystopia that the separation of press and state is at least as important as the separation of church and state, and here was the press servile before an exceptionally criminal brutish representation of state.

BREAKING: Both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance are uninjured after an incident at the correspondents' annual dinner, AP source says.

Dan Goldman is unleashing his massive personal fortune into this race. A blatant attempt to buy this election and subvert the will of NY-10 voters. He may have the money, but we have the people. Can’t thank @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social enough for coming to NYC to support our grassroots movement.
