My heart breaks for Mary. This hits very close to home π’
The βeveryone is leaving NYCβ crowd is going to have to explain American Express building out 2 World Trade Center and a record number of millionaires.
That is a curious definition of decline.
Iβm genuinely surprised by this choice. I hadnβt anticipated that.
Sorry, I forgot to share this with the classπ

Magnitude 10 political earthquake just hit Northern Brooklyn.
The whole landscape looks different after Mamdaniβs win and the Dem revolt against the gerontocracy.
3/4 of Americans now think gerrymandering is a major problem.
Texas is the proof in real time. If government reform groups were smart, they would flood the airwaves with ads right now.
This is the moment to make the case for real political/electoral reform while the country is paying attention.
I don't really know what to do with this information (largely because it makes me sad), but you should know that Bluesky activity has dropped 50% from 6 months ago in January.
I'm sad because if you aren't growing, you are dying.
βDonβt sink to their level!β Baby, Iβll go lower.
Iβm glad your empathy is still that intact, but mine is GONE.
I'm calling the cops on any republican/ Trump voter that I see doing something illegal. Misdemeanors, felonies, idgaf. Itβs open season.
Start packing it up Susan B. Anthony
This bill is a real piece of shit it and it would be excellent if thatβs all anyone talked about for the next few days. Super interested in your think piece about the NYC mayorβs race but letβs get to that after we try to stop the biggest wealth transfer in American history.β β Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), on X, about the GOP megabill.
Not gonna lie, Iβm kind of turned on right now
With Mamdani (D), Cuomo (I), Adams (I), Walden (I), and Sliwa (R) on the ballot, NYCβs general election offers a snapshot of a changing political landscape ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Voters are looking beyond the two-party system and itβs starting to show
Unless something dramatic happens in the interim, a birth certificate will no longer be sufficient to prove the citizenship of any child born in much of the United States after July 27.
Oh Petey B.β¦..you still have a lot of work to doβ¦
This kind of decision is reckless and creates mass confusion about peopleβs citizenship status based on the state they were born.
Every person on this list voluntarily made themselves a primary target. No long-term thinking whatsoever.

We did it. And who are we?
1οΈβ£ @socialists.nyc, which not only powered Zohran's campaign but made it possible;
2οΈβ£ @nywfp.bsky.social, which cohered NYC's organized Left;
3οΈβ£ @bradlander.bsky.social, Adrienne, and Zellnor, who united against Cuomo; and
4οΈβ£ The 50,000 of us who did the work in the field.
If the general is Mamdani (D) v. Cuomo (I) v. Adams (I) v. Sliwa (R), New York City will not just be electing a mayor. Itβll be showcasing Americaβs deep ideological divides right before the 2026 midterms.
It's hard to ignore the pressure on the two-party system at the moment.
Tish is a major winner here too.
She played a pivotal role in forcing Cuomo out of the governorβs office, and then refused to bend the knee when party insiders lined up behind his mayoral bid like a coronation.
She stood in her truth and ended up on the right side of history.
This is a political earthquake. Huge congrats to the whole Zohran campaign for doing the work and pulling off what everyone said was impossible ππ½
The Democratic Partyβs leadership needs this wake-up call, because right now they're asleep at the wheel

I never thought Iβd rank a DSA candidate in my life, but Andrew Cuomo is an actual nightmare.

It says a lot about the current state of the Democratic Party when the leadership cheers one sexual predator endorsing another sexual predator β all to protect Big Money donors at the expense of women and the working class.
The Democratic Party needs new leadership.
It was supposed to be the perfect beach day, yet here we are again.πβ
I think itβs absolutely irresponsible to outright claim that Kamala would have also attacked Iran.
Bill, you will never see Heaven
