He speaks about my America; a diverse America. And that is why he won.

“Tonight, New Yorkers sent an unmistakable message: we will not tolerate corruption, and we will not forget. “Over a year ago, Harassment-Free New York began reminding voters of who Andrew Cuomo really is—a corrupt ex-politician using our taxpayer dollars to wage legal warfare against the women he sexually harassed. Working alongside survivors and advocates, we made sure every voter understood what we've known all along: sexual harassment is the canary in the corruption coal mine.

“By rejecting Cuomo's comeback attempt and electing Zohran Mamdani, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers declared that sexual harassment is corruption—and we've had enough. “But our work is far from over. Cuomo is still using taxpayer funds to harass his victims while trying to silence others with a defamation suit. Cuomo and his team of enablers are the poster children of a system that has allowed corruption to flourish for far too long in New York.

“Tonight, we celebrate closing this absurd chapter—the chapter where Cuomo thought he could waltz back into the political arena as if nothing happened. The chapter where some people told us that threats and bullying and fear-mongering were acceptable in the name of ‘progress.’ Instead, New Yorkers spoke up, and proudly declared enough was enough. “Tomorrow, we get back to work. Harassment-Free New York will continue leading the fight to make every workplace, including the halls of government, a safe environments for everyone. Tonight's mandate gives us strength. And we're just getting started.”

New York City doesn't want a Mayor who sexually harasses his staff and the women he's supposed to represent.

New York City doesn't want a corrupt mayor.

Bye, Andrew 👋

Bill Gates' Harmful Climate Strategy Pivot Bill Gates’s philanthropy has positively transformed global public health, but the approach he now advocates for addressing climate change in his recent Climate Memo is wrongheaded. In the 17-page doc...

Our health care system is so broken it’s insane.

Stop letting them make you believe a better one is impossible.

Retailers Dealing With Increasing Levels of Theft and Violence Report emphasizes importance of preventive measures, coordination with law enforcement

can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

Collection of headlines after the Federal Indictment

This is an unprecedented historical moment that demands an unprecedented public response.

I’m incredibly thankful for the solidarity shown by elected officials, public figures, constituents, and others over the past few days.

Pop Base tweets: "Kim Kardashian said on ‘The Kardashians’ that she believes the moon landing was fake: “They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"

"go to TikTok. See for yourself."

Just in: Zohran Mamdani caught calling someone "bro", but our investigation has unearthed the truth. This person was not, in fact, his biological brother. Why did he lie? Tune in tonight at 10 for this and more breaking news.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Throughout this shutdown, Trump has decided to just continue funding parts of the government he deems worthy. If he wanted to maintain SNAP, he could.

But he already signed the largest cut in the program's history in July.

Does this sound like someone who cares about SNAP?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"We don't want to forget, we want to remember."

25 years from the end of the LGBT+ ban in the military, a monument to their courage is being unveiled. It could not have arrived at a more relevant moment. Everywhere we look today, we can see that progress can be undone all too easily. ~AA

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Texas Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social delivers keynote address at #DemocracyFest2025 on the power of young people:

Southeast Asia is a rapidly growing, $5 trillion economy.

Canada is working to finalise a new Canada-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement — a partnership that would create huge opportunities for workers and businesses on both sides of the Pacific.

Not me. All of us.

Corporate media is in a bad place.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

This resonates with me so much. One of the first things I have always done when I am financially secure - or secure enough to survive - is try and help everyone around me that I can afford too.

Even with more financial security right now - the first time in my adult life - my default is giving.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Thank you, New York City.
