Can't wait to hear White House Barbie tell us that Omar attacked the dude first.

Jan.24, 1920. On Ellis Island, 6 federal detainees died of unsanitary conditions before their deportation hearings -- victims of the Palmer Raids of Jan.2, date of the greatest number of political arrests in US history (so far). www.ny1920.com/jan-24 #hiddenhistoriesnyc @sunypress.bsky.social

ICE agents only do this because they are extremely well-trained and experienced with the situations they are creating

NYC erected a Bolivar statue on a hillock near W. 83rd in 1893. A new monument went up in 1921 (pictured). President Harding spoke about peace between the US and S.American countries. #venezuela @sunypress.bsky.social @nychistoryhq.bsky.social @centralparknyc.bsky.social #libraryofcongress #NY1920s

My favorite part of the inauguration was when Jewish Santa Claus and those kids did the gay anthem. #mandypatinkin #zohranmamdani

New Yorkers, see you tonight.

#bariweiss went about quashing the story in such a stupid and ham-fisted way that more people are going to know about the deportations to #CECOT prison than if #60Minutes had just run it. @bariweiss.skystack.xyz

If I were #lornemichaels I would have just snuck this in between two other #SaturdayNightLive sketches. The audience would have howled. youtu.be/Z7YouaaKGNg?... @thatweekinsnl.bsky.social @snlnerds.bsky.social @snlwriter.bsky.social

I can't decide whether I am more honored, thrilled, or floored by this news. Tie for all three. Thank you @rcolesworthy.bsky.social and @sunypress.bsky.social.

I am thrilled to be sharing the cover to my "Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York," forthcoming from SUNY Press, May 2026. @sunypress.bsky.social The cover uses a detail from Lily Furedi's WPA painting "Subway."

@aaup-penn.bsky.social Vice President Lorena Grundy took to the streets alongside @psc-cuny.org @debtcollective.bsky.social and more to denounce Trump ally and billionaire Marc Rowan's assault on academic freedom.

Today, @aaup.org @aaup-penn.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org outside Apollo Global Management's Midtown office to protest Marc Rowan's "Compact for Higher Education". PSC-CUNY President James Davis explains why this assault on higher ed undermines academic freedoms and our democracy itself.

The officer's testimony does not pass mustard.

I have never seen a political campaign that has created as much joy as that of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Contrast that with the bitterness, sourness, and resentment of that of his opponent @andrewcuomo.bsky.social. In itself, this is not a reason to vote for ZM. But I believe it speaks volumes.

Join us in protesting the billionaire who is behind Trump's attack on higher ed. #handsoffhighered psc-cuny.org/calendar/no-...

i’m continually struck by the joy zohran has brought to this election and the absolute venom with which it’s been met.

Re-posting this to celebrate the end of the first weekend of early voting. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mondoweiss.net "Zohran Mamdani, and a 100-year-old history of anti-Zionism in New York City" mondoweiss.net/2025/09/zohr...

Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.

"Divisive candidate" used to mean candidates who purposely set factions against one another. Now "divisive candidate" means "candidate who makes me feel for the first time in my life like I am being disempowered." Fuck centrist babies who are throwing hissy fits for not getting their way for once.

“If the Jews want a national home in which their national life and culture will have an untrammeled development, Palestine is not the place.... Anti-Semitism in the whole world will revive and become more entrenched than ever before. This is actually taking shape before our eyes.” H.I. Katibah, 1921

Bari Weiss would be a great name for an old jazz musician name dropped in a Tom Waits song. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

I think we all need to start practicing that thing where one person gets on hands and knees behind someone while their partner pushes the person so they fall backwards.

NYC Joyce readers! Join us 10/8 for Casey Drosehn Gough's talk, "Joycean Saínz: Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and Mexican History in the Novels of Gustavo Saínz." At the Jefferson Market Library, where Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap went on trial in 1921 for publishing Ulysses. tinyurl.com/mvsx7fx7

I didn't get invited to my cousins' Rosh Hashana celebration for the first time ever because I write stuff like this, so I guess I'll keep posting it.

I don't watch White House press secretary appearances ever but once in awhile I see a clip and I'm just wondering what is up with that lady's hair that she can't stop touching it?

Re-posting this to reach more eyeballs.

My new article in #mondoweiss situating #Mamdani in relation to anti-Zionism in the Arabic-speaking and Jewish communities of 1920s NYC. Although the journal labels it an opinion piece, it is almost entirely historical. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mondoweiss.net

Israel says it has a plan to build a “humanitarian city” for 600,000 Palestinians in Rafah. A look at recent reporting shows how Israel may be working with a local gang lord in Gaza , and the United Arab Emirates, to run the concentration camp. mondoweiss.net/2025/07/is-t... #Palestine #Israel

"Seize the power" is a nice slogan but does not match the vibe here in the juror cattle call room.

We will primary every Democrat who does not endorse #Zohranmamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social looking at you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social #kristengillebrand @chuckschumer.com @schumer.senate.gov

Democratic establishment probably right now trying to figure out how they can run Hillary Clinton for mayor of NYC.

I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

if #Cuomo runs again, we'll beat him again.
