love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Anyone framing this as targeting or being related to Mamdaniβ€”when it was thrown at a Nazi rallyβ€”is incorrect.

Here is a map. It was not outside Mamdani’s home. It was more than a block away, thrown toward a Nazi rally on 87th on the opposite side of the street of Gracie Mansion.

BREAKING: Our member was FIRED when he reported sexual harassment and physical violence at this Taco Bell in Carmichael.

Today workers walked off the job on strike in solidarity with him.

Before firing our coworker, management failed to pay him hours of wages. 🧡

The reason I fight so hard for trans kids is because I was a trans kid myself. I knew who I was in the year 2000, 12 years old, behind my computer, using the name Erin. I wanted puberty blockers so badly. My body shifted and changed in horrifying ways that I suffered for 15 years over.

I understand the premise, but one party voted against the very thing that would have neutered gerrymanders elsewhere and said same party wanted to make it easier to crack and pack BIPOC voters.

BTW, the next census is in four years and with it, the next maps that will be put in use for 10 years. 😐

We’re putting forward new rules to make sure unnecessary sidewalk sheds are taken down and more don’t go up.

We’re focused on NYCHA tenants specifically β€” making $650M in facade repairs & taking down sheds at 40 developments, including Highbridge Gardens in the Bronx.

It’s an atproto server, Cory. Perhaps you mean the code is maintained by Bluesky?

And you’re on atproto, Cory. That’s your atproto account.

You have a Bluesky profile. Stored on your atproto account.

It would be helpful if you helped spread the name of the atproto community.

The Virginia supreme court has allowed the April referendum on mid-decade redistricting to go forward β€”Β a victory for Dems after a lower-court judge tried to block it.

But the court will still review the legality of the referendum after the vote.
