Mayor Bill de Blasio does not get the credit he deserves. He instituted a several year rent freeze, free universal Pre-K and free school lunches. He was a complete breath of fresh air after Bloomberg spent his 100 years in office waging a war against us public school teachers.

They put a tarp on top of the East Wing, in front of the Kennedy Center, and now on the fence around the Reflecting Pool. Are they going to try to put a tarp over the Strait of Hormuz next? There’s no tarp big enough to cover up all your fuck ups, Trump administration.

In another example of the Trump administration skirting the line between tragedy and parody, the recipient of Trump’s notorious Reflecting Pool no-bid contract, John J. Cafaro, looks like he’s doing Murray Hill cosplay, badly. @murrayhill.bsky.social.

Listening to “Didn’t We Almost Have it All” by Whitney. It’s been my anthem since that hideous day in November 2024.

It may be because of going to Disney, or because I’m on the subway rn, but I just pictured Trump’s 2nd term as a terrifying tunnel ride that we’re all forced to go through. We wanted It’s a Small World, but we’re on the boat ride from Willy Wonka. The drops are so precipitous, and they never stop.

I’ve said it since 2017, but Trump as president has serious BKBZE, which is “Big ‘kneel before Zod’ energy”. And, yes, this is a reference to a 46-year-old movie, because I’m old. youtube.com/watch?v=_xUi...

@mta.info has total apathy toward their riders! We’re making you late to work 3 out of 4 days this week? So what. We don’t have to tell you what’s wrong with the train. Who do you think our bosses will blame for us being late? Us! Not the real responsible party, the MFing MTA, again!!!

Absolutely not, @mta.info!!! This is the 3rd time in 4 days that the F has been severely delayed from Brooklyn to Manhattan, with zero explanation to riders. You owe us an explanation! I am a teacher who cannot prepare my classroom properly because of these delays. I missed a meeting yesterday!

Why is it only houses that get possessed, and never apartments? Has anyone ever heard of a haunted apartment? I guess most of Gen X, Millennials and future generations are safe from poltergeists, because we can never afford to buy a home.

Trump really has turned our lives into Star Wars. This year has real “end of The Empire Strikes Back” energy. And just like in 1980, we all need to wait 3 years to find out if the resistance can topple a fascist regime.

I live in a 17-story rent stabilized building in Brooklyn with no working elevators. Someone is going to die from a fall, or EMS not reaching them, or a heart attack! Help us, elected officials! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

I live in a 17-story Brooklyn building that currently has two broken elevators, a slew of 311 complaints dating back years, mayors office complaints, and no action from our landlords, whose motto is “Money please!” @mayor.nyc.gov @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

Can we all just agree that the American experiment is done? We shouldn’t be drawing new congressional maps, we should be drawing new national borders. I would like to wave bye-bye to the people of Dumbfuckistan, and let them deal with Republican plans for food, shelter, medicine and schools.

This asshole is the only one who has launched a large scale attack on DC in the last couple of decades. Everyone in congress should get a ballroom to hide from him.

Please throw Trump in a room with a sick person, and see how much of a Jesus figure he really is.

@mta.info And while I’m at it, why is the M14A bus running every 25 minutes? Commuters like me rely on that bus to get to work. Yesterday I got to work 20 minutes later than expected. I’m a teacher, so that led to me being less prepared to teach. And where are the accordion buses, 3 days post-snow?

@mta.info It snowed 3 days ago. Why is the express F still cancelled? And why pretend that it’s going to go express with the “express” sign on the front of the train, only for it to go local? Please explain.

Let’s never forget that Trump would have been disqualified from running in 2024 if the Senate Republicans had voted to convict him when he was impeached. And Mitch McConnell led those votes, both times. That doesn’t let the American people off the hook, but he shouldn’t have even been on the ballot.

You’d think that the Trump White House would want to at least pretend they are trying to help the poor, working and middle classes. Like throw them a few checks or positive policy decisions. It’s almost like Trump doesn’t care what voters think of him b/c he’s sure he’s got a lock on the midterms.

The city should agree, and when they unveil it, the name will read “Fuck Face McShits-his-Pants Station.” gothamist.com/news/is-nyc-...

This wasn't the best photo to use with this headline, Daily News. I was like, "Didn't someone hire them to fight in the arena?"

Planning a child’s birthday party is brutal when you have social anxiety (and every other type of anxiety, too). It always seems to me like every other parent in the class is bff with each other and hanging out all the time, and I’m the only odd person out.

A hearty “fuck you” to the idiots who believed that this drooling dementia patient ever had any business acumen. You saw Trump ranting behind court barriers, and you thought, “He will lower my grocery bills”? And a heartier fuck you to the “conscientious” non-voters and protest voters.

Why does opening a Google doc that someone's already working on feel like walking in on someone who's going to the bathroom? It's like, "Ooh! Sorry! I'll be leaving now..."

You need to remember that the people serving in Trump’s cabinet are the worst-of-the-worst sycophants and psychopaths. Trump found out that the old guard would not do enough of his bidding, so this time he brought the freak show to town. I hated all of the Trump 1.0 people, but this is far worse.

I think that political violence is horrible and disgusting, whoever the victim is. But if the right want to stop it, they have to have security checking everyone at their events. I’ve never been to a right wing anything, but if they’re encouraging people to carry concealed weapons in public…

He’s a charlatan who’s charred his tan. A char-le-tan? #char-le-tan

#Chipocalypse? That just sounds like what happens whenever Trump sees snack food. I’m shocked that his team can’t even do parody. Fight back Second City! Parody the f—— out of this a—hole.

It’s July 4th and I’m torn between celebrating what our country should be and mourning what our country is.

I imagine No Kings protests will be a bit different in the UK. Like, bro, you clearly do have a king.

I try not to watch videos of him, but when I inadvertently see ones, I am so embarrassed to be an American. It’s pure shame.

This Pride, I think we should do away with the term “ally” all together. They didn’t say “I’m *an ally* of Spartacus”, in Spartacus. They said “I *AM* Spartacus.” If you’re really an ally, you shouldn’t care if people think you’re LGBTQ+ af.

I’ve realized that there are shows that I’ve seen hundreds of episodes of, yet I can only recall like 5 actual episode plots.

Congrats to the #MTA for wasting money on subway banners that make the commute appreciably worse. Now they only show one arrival time in each direction, so I have no idea if I should get on a painfully crowded train or wait for the next one. This is what you’re spending your budget on? Pathetic.

Does anyone else remember when Ghouliani fucked up the subway so no one could go to the Sensation exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum? I think Adams may be doing a 1999 on the subway to stop people from getting to #HandsOff.

I'm watching the movie Arrival and thinking of how fucked we'd be if our current government ever had to make contact with aliens. After offering them Monster energy drink and bitcoin, someone would rev a chainsaw at the aliens and our fate would be sealed.

What the absolute fuck, Spoonflower? #BoycottSpoonflower

If you think my friend Sandi Is correct Drop a 🦋 and share

Sorry, Mexico and Canada, we elected a dimwitted shitheel

Tulsi Gabbard is an X-Men villain and she’s not even hiding it.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

Can’t wait to read this.

Things in the U.S. are so bad that I feel like the day’s news should be narrated by a whispering child, like in the opening of a sci fi film.

The lights were flickering today, 1/20/25, when we visited the Teddy Roosevelt Hall at the AMNH. I assume Teddy is making the lights flash by spinning in his grave at what has happened to his party, the presidency, and his country. #AMNH #TeddyRoosevelt

My 7-year-old has lost 5-6 (!) pairs of gloves this winter. It's January 10th. I don't have a big enough gloves budget for our family to make it til spring. It may be cruel, but I've ordered the glove clips.
