I visited Grand Street Senior Housing on the Lower East Side today and tried a little Bomba y Plena…

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Happy Halloween 🎃

Dear New York, at the very least, please give wonderful Democratic Socialist Mamdani a massive landslide victory so that he has a mandate.

💯

All great points and true.

Too his defense the pick was in response to a change in the electorate. In order to win he had to pick someone that energized their base and there really wasn’t anyone else. The electorate was already seeing politicians as establishment, so they didnt vote, that is until they got a taste of Palin

There’s no hope for those in the 36%.

🤣

Here's an example of how Trump's corruption factory works.

1. Coinbase put $46M into elections to help Trump allies.
2. Sends him a huge check for his inauguration.
3. Trump drops SEC lawsuit against Coinbase.
4. Trump demands big donation from Coinbase for ballroom.

Done.

I’ve been saying that for about 25 years.

We can thank McCain’s boner for that pick.

A lot of us said that when George W. Bush was President he really lowered the bar for future Republican Presidents.

We were right.

Pity the poor billionaire.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

He is itching to impose martial law so he can WATCH people suffer and in pain while he laughs and builds his Epstein ballroom.🤬

The file Trump has on MJ must be very damaging for him to put his entire country on the line.

Brief video from an attendee who picked up produce from Travis Peters this week.

“They had fresh mustards, turnips, Swiss chard, peppers. It was nice”

Nadia from Colectivo Familias Migrantes shares the story of one family who has had six relatives detained or deported. Weeks later they still do not know where all those family members are.

“The Council should request information from MPD about what agencies are present at each arrest. That data should be available.” — Dr. Tanya Golash-Boza

“Trust in MPD is broken, and people are afraid to leave their homes and go to work.” — @aparnafordc.bsky.social

Getting underway now: @brianneknadeau.bsky.social hosts a roundtable on D.C. government coordination with federal entities or joint enforcement activity that may violate D.C. human rights laws.

Jon Stewart showed a montage of all the times MJ has said “I haven’t seen, I haven’t heard” on The Daily Show on Monday night. We can expect that refrain from him for the rest of his speakership.

Don’t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

A society that produces billionaires because millions of its people suffer from food insecurity is not thriving; it's rotting.

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt, venal, lawbreaking, wannabe monarch president.
