i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

This had better not get expensive. @mmasnick.bsky.social www.trumpcancelledmyflight.com

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

New Yorkers of conscience have a duty to submit as much dreck as possible to the ADL's cynical "Mamdani Monitor anti-Semitism tracker" www.adl.org/mamdani-moni...

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

“I am going to run for mayor of New York on a platform of being a racist and hating everyone who lives there except for Staten Island” was a campaign strategy in 2025

Oh no

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets. So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

NYC 🚨 IF YOU HAVEN’T VOTED, GO NOW FIND YOUR POLLING PLACE HERE: vote.nyc/page/find-yo... RANK ZOHRAN 1, LANDER 2, MYRIE, ADAMS, BLAKE 3-5. DO NOT RANK CUOMO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. LET’S FUCKING GO.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

The Democratic establishment class has done everything short of drowning AOC in the Potomac to avoid energizing younger/leftier voters, and then they fret over youth engagement. I’ve watched it happen my whole life, but especially since 2016, and I’m very tired of it.

Trump’s reckless & unconstitutional strikes against Iran are a dangerous escalation of war — and threaten countless Iranian, Israeli & American lives. My thoughts are with families fearing for their safety, and the thousands of New Yorkers worrying tonight about loved ones in Iran.

The Rockies are now losing.

this is the energy. i'm so tired of people treating these genital obsessed freaks like they have a valid opinion on anything. they don't deserve comment or respect. the deserve mockery and derision. they should be ashamed to vocalize their weird genital obsession. shame these freaks into silence.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

It’s not enough to defund ICE. Anyone still working for the agency needs to be put on trial.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

I'm calling for an army of volunteers to build a massive wiki that enumerates the things that Trump has broken and that will need fixing: presswatchers.org/2025/05/we-n... Are you with me?

ok i wrote about it

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

Our tax dollars are going toward state-sponsored child trafficking

anyone who says "we have to hear the judge's account" or "the facts aren't in" or "there are two sides to every story" should get a primary opponent the next day and more calls to their office than they've ever seen.

When I took the history reporter job, I told my editor I would never "both sides" the Civil War, Confederates or slavery. I never did. But here, ChatGPT (pic 1) has turned my work (pics 2,3) into whitewashed pablum and put MY FUCKING NAME on it. I am livid, I am shaking. I don't know what to do.

And here’s an Easter message from Marco Rubio, who serves as Trump’s handmaiden in pushing hundreds of Sudanese children into starvation and death. 1/

I’m actually from a tiny (<2000) town in semi-rural PA where the biggest employer when I was growing up was the state prison. So I can speak to this one with a lot more authority than this author. It’s got almost *zero* to do with abstractions like their “ way of life”. I can tell you what they say…

Among a million other thoughts I have about this, it’s absolutely insane to me that we don’t have a cabinet level Arts and Culture position. It’s literally our most valuable export.

Seeing a lot of people comparing Newsom and Cuomo and I think that's not really getting close to communicating how bad Cuomo is.

I will continue to scream this from the rooftops: the fact that me, a lifelong NYC resident, even knows who Matt Kacsmaryk *is* is a huge part of why we’re here.

As DOJ argues that federal courts have no authority to order "any particular acts of diplomacy," I want to remind everyone that SCOTUS let Matthew Kacsmaryk seize control of Biden's border policy for 10 months and micromanage diplomatic negotiations with Mexican officials. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.

Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

Not one of these EOs listed in this letter is valid. Notably, no statutory language is listed. The President’s agenda is not a statutory reason for termination. It really is just straight up lying and people should start just suing the government in the Court of Claims.

You are MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. If they threaten you with arrest for trying to access a site you are lawfully entitled to access, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING ARREST YOU. YOU MAKE THEM SLAP THE CUFFS ON A CONGRESSMAN LIVE ON TV, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING DO IT.

Oh look - new friends from the bad place! Follow me for Broadway / Union stuff.

for me, it's following other legal scholars and journos and the repro justice folks since my beat repro and law. I would find some people you trust in key areas and follow them. I would stay away from the Jack of All Trades style social media folks who cover news like they're a cable news host

give it up for Lexi, y'all

Whatever happens, try to do the right thing, try to protect people weaker than you, try to stand up to bullies, try to speak truth to power.
