Boo!

Thugs. These are called thugs.

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Per reporting today, Letitia James wrote (in caps): “NOT MY PRIMARY RESIDENCE” in several places on the mortgage application for her niece’s house AND on the check.

The guy that commits actual crimes needs to make shit up to avoid accountability for himself.

I appreciated the opportunity to meet with neighbors in East Elmhurst, Corona and LeFrak City last night at @maketheroadact.bsky.social as we continue to build this movement to make our city affordable.

Chicago and Portland showing us how it’s DONE!!

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Merrick Garland green-lit the search of Mar-a-Lago. It happened in August 2022 three months before Jack Smith was appointed. Jack Smith was in the Netherlands at the Hauge prosecuting Kosovo war crimes when Mar-a-Lago was searched. Eric should have listened to my podcast.

I think this is probably correct

Make America Great Again…

GTF Out!

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Donate to DREAM! Don't Re-elect Eric or Andrew for Mayor

Our job isn’t just to make sure Zohran gets elected, it’s to crush the billionaires' latest ploy to buy our city, and crush whatever they try next too. Donate to the official anti-Cuomo Attack PAC so we can keep crushing them, until we have truly won. secure.actblue.com/donate/dream...

Polls only tell part of the story.

After all, Zohran and the half a million New Yorkers surprised the polls before.

To make sure there isn't an upset and Zohran wins, we need to recapture the same grassroots energy that beat Cuomo before.

It's time to lock in and DREAM.

At Hamptons Fund-Raiser, Cuomo Predicts Help From Trump Is on the Way Andrew M. Cuomo, who trails in the polls for New York City mayor, is said to have told a crowd of donors that he believed President Trump would help smooth his path to victory.

Eric Adams has finally exited the race, but only because MAGA billionaires bought his complicity.

They will do anything to stop the Mamdani mandate.

Because they know that evil Andrew will give them carte blanche to wreck our city.

It's official: Donald Trump and the billionaires are buying the election for evil Andrew Cuomo.

To beat them once again, we need to recapture the grassroots energy from the primary.

Which is why we're evolving to our fifth (and final) form: Don't Risk Evil Andrew for Mayor.

I think it would be helpful if DA Bragg charged a few of these assaults. If the agents think that federal law immunizes them for actions that would result in ordinary New Yorkers being charged, let them litigate it.

Dusgusting and illegal

The Wealth Tax Plans That Are Roiling New York and Paris www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b...

About 2.5% of wealthy US taxpayers move every year to other tax jurisdictions vs about 5% of low-income taxpayers, said Cornell prof Cristobal Young. For many high earners the stakes of moving are too high.

Vance tells the opposite of the truth. Political violence is much more common on the right

An endorsement graphic with a photo of Congressman Jamie Raskin. It says: "Congressman Jamie Raskin Endorses Zohran Mamdani for Mayor. Election Day: November 4. Early Voting: October 25 - November 2."

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for the endorsement — and your courageous fight in Congress against Trump's authoritarianism.

“In these times, the Democratic Party needs to stick together with the maximum solidarity and focus."

Mamdani began the event by acknowledging @psc-cuny.org, the main labor union for faculty at the City University of New York, where 4 professors say they were fired for their pro-Palestinian activism.
“No faculty member should be fired for supporting Palestinian rights”

PSA: Please stop calling it the “Pedo Patio”.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Excellent piece on the org infrastructure essential to Zohran's primary win. Two orgs to add:

1️⃣ @uaw.org Region 9A, Z's first labor endorser and an early slate proponent; and

2️⃣ @nywfp.bsky.social, whose slate strategy encouraged Z to run and helped Z, Brad, and Adrienne all do better than Cuomo.

President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles has cost taxpayers $118 million so far.

Here’s what the money Trump spent on his political stunt in L.A. could have been used for instead.
