They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

This moment says everything about why Zohran Mamdani won.

A journalist in a wheelchair asked about accessibility and Mamdani didn’t talk down to him, didn’t deflect, didn’t politicize it. He listened.

He’s the kind of leader who respects everyone, every faith, every class, every flag.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

In the past 24 hours Elon Musk has sent 9 tweets either endorsing Andrew Cuomo, attacking Zohran Mamdani, or going after the voting process as a whole — and he's retweeted many more along the same lines.

Billionaire wealth and power are a threat to the democratic process.

Hell yeah.

Happy Birthday Freddy!

But seriously, Luan and Cristina are wishing you a great day! 🥳🥳🥳

Most of us who are covid conscious understand that widespread masking is not returning.

But masking in healthcare facilities should be an easy ask.

Getting folks to mask when they’re sick should be an easy ask.

Cleaning the air should be an easy ask.

It’s time we adapt!

Rolling Stone excerpt about Montana’s ballot initiative to combat Citizens United

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

“Most of the people I’ve seen with #MECFS are so much sicker than my cancer patients.”

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

If you're happy the 20 Israeli hostages are home (as I am) but silent on the 10,000 Palestinian hostages still languishing in Israeli prisons without charge or due process of law—then you'll have to stop pretending its hostage taking you were ever upset about.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

"For two years, Doctors Without Borders teams in #Gaza have lived and worked through unimaginable suffering.

Through one-word answers, they express what two years of genocide feel like. The pain, loss, and strength it takes for them to keep saving lives."

I have attempted to make this twice and failed to get the sauce smooth as it should be. Will try again with the info from this article.

Sold-out Ta-Nehisi Coates speaker appearance in N.J. canceled over security reasons Organizers canceled a sold-out Ta-Nehisi Coates event in Montclair citing undisclosed security concerns.

Is it cancel culture when they threaten to kill you?

Gaza genocide death toll revised up - now over 680,000, including almost half a million children Amid Israel's destruction of Gaza, as many as 120,000 bodies remain unrecovered and therefore not included in the death toll

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.

I can't help but think about all the wonderful creative stuff we're missing out on by not having UBI, housing, and healthcare.

A UBI would help so many more than all the band aid programs the federal government keep doing and reduce the cost of running all those programs.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.
