She's right. Once SCOTUS closed the door on constitutional challenges, unilateral disarmament on redistricting became political suicide.

JUST IN: All 10 members of New York City's Progressive Caucus who faced a primary challenger last week have won.

One councilmember was awaiting the RCV result (he sat at 49% in the first round); just-released results confirm he has prevailed.

Fuck you Lisa Murkowski

Notice who all is at Zohran’s victory party. Tish James, Lina Khan, Brad Lander, AOC— these are people who want to be in power in 4 years.

cuomo conceding overlayed with the drewjanda tweet: "The haters said I couldn't do it. And they were correct. Honestly great call from the haters"

Dozens of polls that showed Cuomo up on average about 15 points.

25-point polling error across the board for the first round of voting.

Do we know if those are Election Day vote?

Calling me stupid isn’t going to save our country! Have a good night

Kara Swisher? The woman whose post you’re commenting on?

Thanks, but I’m not ignorant — just afraid for our Republic

I’m familiar with the Supremacy clause, which generally preempts state interference with LAWFUL federal operations — and that can be litigated. Arrest ICE officers breaking the law and fight it out in court. We have to do more.

Hochul swears and people call this “fighting”

Start locking up the MAGA gestapo and then we’re talking

Republicans are having opposition arrested and kidnapped, meanwhile, democrats are starting to swear

Nah, I say we agree to disagree — my point is that we need to be doing more. Begging Trump to ease up on immigration enforcement is weak and ain’t going to cut it.

Lol you don’t think Brad Lander being assaulted is criminal? I never said working for a federal department is a crime, but violating people’s constitutional rights as a federal official can certainly be litigated.

See, look at how rude you’re being — this is BlueSky, not Twitter. I don’t think Kara would appreciate your tone.

Hochul can certainly order NYS law enforcement to arrest ICE officers, and yes it would likely immediately be challenged in court. But… why not do it anyway. DO something.

Says who? Of course NYS law enforcement can — we have our own laws and constitution, it just goes against assumed federal supremacy. Fight fire with fire or die in the wreckage.

New York State can arrest people breaking our laws… she’s just unwilling to raise the stakes because she’s afraid it’ll harm her ability to work with the Dictator on policy they align on

Exactly

Hey, we don’t need to get heated

Hochul controls the New York State Police, and she can order them to arrest ICE officers assaulting and kidnapping New Yorkers

Call out the administration’s bluff and show how wildly out of step with public opinion they are on rightful use of federal power

See my reply to the other commenter

Sorry I must have missed the part where she said the words “I am banning ICE from New York State”

Please please please put pressure on her on what she is doing to protect New Yorkers from ICE!

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

BREAKING via Axios

A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a Trump administration order barring transgender and nonbinary Americans from passports that reflect their gender identities.

They should invent weather that is nice

Queen behavior from Molly “humble brag” Jong-Fast

Both Cuomo sons tarnishing their father’s legacy left and right smh

I conversed with ChatGPT about this and that doesn’t seem like it should be a concern
