True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧡

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Rethinking the Luddites in the Age of A.I. Brian Merchant’s new book, β€œBlood in the Machine,” argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Today, the word β€œLuddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation. But a recent book argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

Good news: The largest landlord in the US has agreed to stop using anticompetitive algorithms to raise rents. I pushed for this. Carried through by DOJ Antitrust in two administrations and by state AGs.

We must now pass my bill to stop this conduct across the economy.

Putin is a wanted war criminal. The ICC issued a warrant for his arrest. And this evil, wanted, genocidal, authoritarian war criminal has still been invited to meet with the President of the United States, and on U.S. soil no less. The rules-based order is dead.

Can we talk about how seemingly little coverage the White House Roof incident has received?

Like, why TF was he up there in the first place? Why nobody seemed to act as if it was a security/safety risk? Why MSM didn't beat this to death with the age/acuity narrative? Why is this normal behavior?

Men with big accounts get Vewwy Angery at me for noting that MAGA is a war of men against women, for which Trump has built a coalition of men across race, class & religion.

Anyhoo a Cabinet official supports the idea of disenfranchising the majority of Americans (women).

YouTube video by Robert Reich The Unconstitutional Census Power Grab | Robert Reich

Trump is demanding that the census conducted every decade omit undocumented immigrants from the count.

He plotted a similar move in 2018, but was blocked by the courts because his plan was unconstitutional.

Here's a video I put out the last time he tried this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpw-...

Green Dildo Coin. An amount spent on masked thugs and themed concentration camps that could house and feed every homeless person in America. Cage fights on a paved-over White House lawn. It really all boils down to losers who want to replace our society with a different one that just fucking sucks.

Daniel Cameron launches Senate bid in the wake of McConnell’s retirement The former gubernatorial candidate came up short in 2023 but is widely seen as the GOP leader’s heir apparent.

MAGA Daniel Cameron is running for US Senator from Kentucky in 2026. Cameron wrote an oped today criticizing companies that maintain DEI practices: β€œwoke capital”

Shari Dunn wrote about Black people who ally with their oppressors.

We Jews call this dynamic β€œKapo”

This is absolutely right.

The Epstein Files have largely been kept afloat by Trump's own inability to shut up about it, but Democrats should do whatever they can to make sure it doesn't fade away over the summer like they're hoping.

Bring it up on TV, promote victims' stories. Press the attack.

If you're a reporter who wants to talk about why 300,000 Black women leaving the labor force is bad for the economy, let me know.

TLDR: Black women's labor market outcomes are an economic indicator that people keep ignoring and shouldn't be. #econsky #blacksky
