Emails should be about one topic, and that topic should be in the subject line.

A $9,200 portrait, $20K for decorations: Questions raised about Frank Seddio campaign spending some $175,000 in expenditures by Friends of Frank Seddio and the Kings County Democratic County Committee when Seddio was leading it that raise questions, either because they could be seen as benef…

Blockbuster story in the @nydailynews.com this weekend. It illustrates many of the reasons we at New Kings Democrats have been fighting for a better Brooklyn Democratic Party and why that fight matters.

It’s about Frank Seddio. But it’s about a lot more than him too.

Again, I cannot stress enough how much of NYC politics (but especially Brooklyn) is just the same 7 or 8 people committing comically inept types of grift while going after things like "bike lanes," all while the city becomes increasingly unaffordable.

The🧵 by NKD provides some much-needed context.

It taught me a lot of tropical location names, at least

Andrew Cuomo's reputation for COVID leadership was built on a series of lies.

New Yorkers should remember the truth when they head to the polls 👇

Gov. Cuomo treated New York City like a punching bag. Why would we want him as mayor?

Don’t let amnesia win.

On June 24, New Yorkers will decide primary races for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, and city council.

If you are registered as an independent or with a third party, you are effectively disenfranchised from this part of the democratic process.

It’s literally why we’re here

“As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces” President Trump has promised a "colorblind and merit-based" society, while also equating diversity with incompetence .

Dante described a special place in hell for NYT headline writers, where they experience burning pain but there are no devils, no agents of torment, just weird ‘undercurrents’ like bad smells. Who is torturing them? No one in particular

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Looks like you can currently reply on posts but not on “stories”?

We are done asking.

Our leadership is not failing us—it has failed us. We can no longer offer prolonged support without immediate action to protect our community from serious harm. Our leaders need to feel our anger. 🧵

Did not think an awesome StereoMCs show would be part of my week in 2025, but my take away is that the during- and post-Reagan/Thatcher music scene might have a lot to teach us right now… @stereomcs.bsky.social

If you are ready to feel powerful, I have the meetings for you. It is hard work, and slow. But you get to be with your neighbors and your community, and there are snacks. (If you bring them.)

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
