Terrific

Proud of the Rapid Response To Kristi Noem's press conference in Minnesota yesterday. 🐸

1,500 protestors showed up outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Building to greet her. ✊🏼

Chanting: "No more Minnesota nice, we don't want your dirty ICE." 🧊

So disappointed to learn that Comcast is one of the corporations paying for the destruction of the East Wing and the building of the Billionaire Ballroom. #NoKings #ShameOnComcast

Original artwork that mimics the famous raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, with the marines replaced by protesters in inflatable animal costumes. The Statue of Liberty and a city landscape are in the background.

Incredible artwork by @4nikkolas.bsky.social.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them. Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

“The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril”

Best thread of the day

I am once again asking you to stop sending us money.

But we do need your time. ⏰

Now do it for old men…

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Company that has an even more incredible future. I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL. Building leading edge Semiconductors and Chips, which is what INTEL does, is fundamental to the future of our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

What now?

Washington DC is making public buses free forever Analysts say D.C.’s free fare system offers a good test case on how public transit can be reshaped for a post-pandemic future.

I’ll just leave this here, for reasons. You can drop this into the replies of car guys if you wish.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Independence Day

Fox News is attempting to paint Mamdani as a radical because he wants to provide “baby baskets to newborns.” Are they aware that the Republican reconciliation bill would give every newborn a “Trump account” with $1000?

On NYC’s mayoral race, I say this as someone who’s been a Democrat for only a month: The Democratic Party establishment needs to pull their heads out of their asses, wake the hell up, and back candidates who actually meet this moment and who their voters actually…want.

Andrew Cuomo was the US Secretary of Housing and is now running for mayor, where one of the largest agencies they manage is NYC's Housing Authority.

And yet Cuomo literally had ChatGPT write his campaign housing policy.

This is who the media and establishment want you to think is "serious"

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies

the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

Cuomo PAC darkens skin of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in new mailer to NYC voters.
