House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.

While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

I'm going to non-desi friend's place for dinner so told her I don't like lamb or goat. She said ok
Whenever I say this to a desi friend, the response is always oh you haven't had my lamb/goat or you haven't had some other random lamb/goat dish. Can't accept that some people just don't like lamb/goat

I'm at 12 out of 25

Senator Chuck Schumer at a podium

Ahh the most useless senator @schumer.senate.gov pretending to be upset with Trump and ICE while doing whatever Trump wants and asks him to do. If you really care about democracy, then step down as minority leader and let someone more effective take over as the democratic leader.

Alex Pretti Was Killed in My Neighborhood. In the Following Hours, It Was Us Versus Ice After they shot Alex, ICE agents unleashed their anger and weapons on us.

Chemical weapons and weapons of war used by American government against American citizens on American soil and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is totally fine funding ICE! No qualms at all giving in to fascism. Never have #democrats had a more useless leader than we do now!

OMG I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣

But the worst #NY12 candidate was Jami Floyd. She is basically a republican and a huge supporter of the sexual predator Cuomo. @gtconway.bsky.social didn't show up for the forum.

The #NY12 congressional forum was very well organized and moderated. @alexbores.nyc and @micahlasher.bsky.social both had great nights. @jackschlossberg.bsky.social was okay. He started off weak but ended better. He lacked specifics to a lot of the questions but was strong on his beliefs. 1/

If Maria Corina Machado thinks that giving Trump her Nobel Peace Prize will mean he'll help her then she's going to be very disappointed. Trump sees this as a weakness, extract more from her & never help her. She gave up her Peace Prize for nothing and in doing so she lost respect of a lot of people

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

This is exactly why the Trump Oligarchs took over CBS News. To spread total and complete lies like these. They want to promote their propaganda under the guise of news.

AOC: I’m very encouraged by statements from Senator Tillis and Senator Murkowski, but it is frankly very disturbing that we are not seeing more resistance across the board.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Ahh a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Price is so on brand for Trump! Tackiness all the way.

Listening to members of our community must be a priority. Showing up for members of our community must be a priority.

Great neighbors, like Michael and Edward, are part of why I’m proud to call this city my home. We will fight, not fold - for ALL New Yorkers.

Jeffries is an AIPAC funded puppet for millionaires. He could barely get himself to endorse @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social even AFTER he won the primary but has no problems endorsing now

Someone needs to do to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social what @aoc.bsky.social did to Joe Crowley and send him packing!

June was exciting!
•attended a fundraiser for Sarah McBride
•saw Yankees vs Red Sox at Yankee stadium
•volunteered to monitor horseshoe crabs
•watched Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway starring Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, Bill Burr, & Michael Mckean
•Zohran won the primary
•attended the Pride parade

May is my birthday month so we usually travel. This time we went to India to our 5 yr old nephew. He's the smartest and most adorable kid I've met. India in May also means it's mango season 😁

I exercised my first amendment rights and attended the no kings rally!

I also visited the Brooklyn Botanical garden for the first time. All these years in NYC and I hadn't yet visited the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. It's a very peaceful place 😍

March we visited Vienna and Prague. We got a personal tour of Vienna from cousins before taking a train to Prague. Prague is such a fun city! So much to do and so, so many options for public transport ❤️

February 2025 I finally got the book @saliltripathi.bsky.social wrote called Gujaratis that included my family's story. The book isn't available in the US so I had to wait for a friend to bring it from India.

Highlights of 2025

Rang in January 2025 at Santa Fe, NM. Such a beautiful state with delicious food and the most wonderful people. New Mexico is an underrated state. Its the 5th largest state by area and it's population is less than that of Queens, NY

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.

But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Lunch and dinner today was mostly cooked by me, including the rotis. Both were delicious and we definitely over-ate 😋

So US Courts can hold foreign leaders accountable but can't hold its own president and cabinet accountable for their crimes??

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Just woke up to find out that POTUS started an illegal war with Venezuela. The congress needs to wake up and stop this president. Power to start war with another country is with congress, not the president.

As @marklevinenyc.bsky.social said what makes this city so great is that 3 people sworn in yesterday used 3 different religious books. Mark Levine used Chunash, Jumaane D. Williams used a Christian Bible and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social used a Quran. How awesome is that!
