Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨
@bkbpreynoso.bsky.social is on the front lines of the fight for progressive values and lower costs.
He knows what it means to organize neighbors to keep the communities that raised him affordable and accessible for everyone.
I’m deeply grateful for his support.
Very cool!
It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net
It’s not the super-rich at risk of leaving NY—it’s you.
That’s why thousands of folks rallied in Albany last week demanding the wealthiest pay their fair share.
Let's stop the fear-mongering and fund childcare, housing, transit, and more—investments that keep *everyone* in NY.
These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.
War is not a morality play.
The relevant question isn’t: Are the targets bad people who have done bad things?
The relevant question is: Will going to war make things better, achieving something that’s worth the death and suffering it causes?
Thanks!
And folks should donate, too, no matter where they live :)

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨
Comptroller @marklevinenyc.bsky.social exemplifies progressive leadership in 2026—fighting for our rights against the MAGA agenda, for more homes and transit, and for working people.
I’m deeply grateful for his leadership, his mentorship, and his endorsement in this race.
Proud to call Ryder a friend — and very proud to support him for Assembly.
That council member was Keith. He led the charge for critical change long before it was cool.
From backing vital shelters to legalizing new homes to building transit infrastructure, Keith has been a true leader.
I can’t wait to join him in Albany 🤝

“We have an impossible task in the city right now, which is to shelter 60,000 homeless people,” he said. “Where would we be if every council member stood up and said, ‘Not in my backyard?’” 2/3
🚨Endorsement Alert 🚨
I’m thrilled to have the backing of Assembly Member @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social in this race.
In 2018, the @nytimes.com wrote about a “plucky” city council member who stood up when some residents wanted to block shelters for homeless New Yorkers across his district. 1/3
Ever wonder why we keep building skinny glass towers for billionaires and not the kind of homes we need?
It’s our laws.
But we can choose differently.
👆 More midsized apartments
👇 Fewer ugly high-rises
👆 More homes New Yorkers can afford
👇 Less displacement and inequality
I’m so proud to be endorsed by @nywfp.bsky.social!
As costs rise and Trump attacks our communities, we need bold leadership—to deliver homes we can afford, universal healthcare and childcare, and protections for immigrant New Yorkers.
WFP is leading that fight. Together, we’ll win it. 💪
Let's just retreat until the bigots are appeased!
Always odd to see commentators deny that we can *change the popularity* of various issue positions by being clear and relentless. Especially when they've just seen the right do it themselves.
from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
Getting money for housing, NYCHA and transit won’t get easier by losing reps, that’s for sure.
Non-tenure-track faculty have long been second-class citizens in academia.
Now they're on the front lines of MAGA attacks on academic freedom and immigrants.
In NYC, they're also grappling with an affordability crisis.
It's time NYU delivers the @uawregion9a.bsky.social CFU a fair contract.
“The era of empty promises ends.”
The mayor needs allies in Albany to secure his vision:
☑️ Universal childcare and healthcare
☑️ Lower energy bills and emissions
☑️ Better public transit
☑️ Affordable housing for all
I’m running to be that ally—and deliver on those promises.
Ice out
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
Washington Square Park used to be a parking lot. Then neighbors organized to change it.
Today, homes that used to house working families are changing into mansions for billionaires.
Change is inevitable—let's choose the kind that keeps our neighborhoods affordable and vibrant.
I’m incredibly proud to earn the endorsement of CUFFH Action.
CUFFH has spent decades standing up for tenants and keeping New Yorkers in their homes.
In the Assembly, I’ll be a relentless advocate for strong tenant protections, affordable housing, and putting people over profit.
“Please get the truth out about our son.”
I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.
