New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Not to kick on Larry Summers when he's down, but once, on an academic panel, I ventured that any economic model that could not provide half the young black men in a major city with legal employ wasn't working well. He replied by lecturing us all on the dangers of communism.

First-rate mind there.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

The way the Black Panthers understood food aid as a crucial form of self defense against the capitalist machinery of the racial state remains essential to the struggle against fascism today.

Jamal Khashoggi. Say his name.

I have endless convos w journos abt q’s like “how much food can I buy for my starving source?” or “how much can I do to make sure their rent is paid & they have their meds?” knowing the wrong decision might end one’s career.

And then some journos can get it on with 2 presidential candidates…

The fact that the DC press is not working overtime to demand an end to this presidency over the disgusting "Quiet piggy" outburst just underscores that they are useless, servile lapdogs.

I think they get off on being dominated.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Whatever Trump and Epstein did with those girls is fair game, as long as they told them that Santa Claus is white.

6d Listen to this article Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses. About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church.

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too. "Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody," he said. "One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him." Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken. Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

New hip insult you'll be hearing everywhere soon:
"Was this made by Al?"

Especially effective when mentioned while watching a film (especially a big budget one) or listening to the new release of a song (preferably by a big pop star).

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.

Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.

Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations.

Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date.

Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term.

ALL WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS.

But you think a single mom getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

This this this this this this ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

DO NOT CAVE!

It's worth noting that the sandwich guy wasn't armed with some high priced trial attorney. He had a public defender.

The state lost to a po' boy.

In Washington DC tonight
As judge orders Trump to pay SNAP BENEFITS

He doesn't care
Mothers are skipping meals to feed their children
Seniors and Veterans are in need
Families are suffering
Help your local foodbank please !!
Cruel and Callous Trump
Release SNAP BENEFITS NOW

BREAKING: The plaintiffs in the legal fight over SNAP benefits in a new filing say the judge's earlier order means USDA must pay full benefits for November, not partial.

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

The insulin patent was sold for $1 to ensure it would always be available to anyone who needs it.

It should be free, and healthcare should be a basic human right guaranteed to everyone.
