people crediting joe biden with WAY more power than he ever possessed tbh

they’re not allowing elected officials to see the concentration camp because it’s a concentration camp

Boycotting is a privilege.

Prepping is a privilege.

Protesting is a privilege.

Leaving the country is a privilege.

Not all solutions are accessible to everyone.

We need robust community care to ensure people aren’t left behind.

“everglades concentration camp” is right there, and more descriptive

Debate over 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center a personal one for members of Miccosukee and Seminole tribes The homes of Miccosukee and Seminole people, as well as their ceremonial sites, surround the detention center on three sides.

NBC has a piece up-this detention center is surrounded by Seminole & Miccosukee on 3 sides, on land that's been disputed for over half a century. It's land stolen in the 60s in a failed attempt to build an airport, it's very much a current harm to Seminole too

We can have nice things Zohran Mamdani proved you can fully embrace progressive values—and win.

New — I wrote about how Zohran Mamdani’s win shows the power of a positive vision for the future, New Yorkers’ rejection of fear-based politics, and provides a blueprint for progressive Jews and Muslims to create a multi-racial, multi-faith coalition that supports prosperity for all.

everyone should be safe in public spaces. ideally everyone should also FEEL safe in public spaces! but if your discomfort is based on being racist or homophobic or not wanting to see a homeless guy or a mentally ill person, none of whom are a threat to you, i don't really care how safe you feel.

FOX NEWS banner: "Zohran the Destroyer"

I'm not sure this nickname will have the impact they think it will

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

‘We’re not going anywhere’: Why this trans kid’s family won’t quit Tennessee After the USA’s highest court backed states’ rights to block transgender under-18s from lifesaving medical treatments, one Tennessee mother tells Io Dodds why she and her family plan to stay and fight

“This is our home. We're not going anywhere… this is [our] community as much as anybody else’s. So if you want us to get out, you're gonna have to try harder."

I spoke to the mom of a trans child in Tennessee about how they’re planning for life after Skrmetti.

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

woke up remembering zohran won the democratic primary for nyc mayor like scrooge on christmas morning.
“you there! what day is it?”
“why, it’s the day after the primary election.”
“who won?”
“zohran, of course.”
“so it DID happen!” *clasps hands joyfully* “fetch me a ham!”

I am sure everyone will look the other way, but the guy who just won the Democratic mayoral primary in NYC _ran on expanding access to trans healthcare._

Zohran looking out on a victory night crowd.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

Billionaires and the establishment threw all the money in the world to steal this election from New Yorkers. They lost badly. Never underestimate the power everyday people have when they organize ✊️

mmmmm tears of unfathomable sadness

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

well well well maybe finally easy to find a mayor who doesn't suck shit

MAZEL TOV @shahanafrombk.bsky.social!!!!!!!

I have complicated feelings about being an American. I do not have complicated feelings about being a New Yorker

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.
