“We've seen the previous mayor freeze the rent three times for rent stabilized tenants, and we are still here. And ultimately, this is not the entirety of our housing vision.”
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social dives into his vision for housing policies for New Yorkers.

They’re terrified of the people realizing their power. They’re terrified of anyone who actually wants to disrupt the status quo for anything besides profit.
📢 DON’T RANK CUOMO! 📢
The entire establishment from both sides is aiming all of its money and firepower against Zohran Mamdani. Very telling. This is what they're threatened by and who they are willing to crush.
As you see officers brutalizing pregnant citizens and detaining high school volleyball players and shooting at international journalists — remember these 58 Democrats who voted with Republicans for the Laken Riley Act, enabling Trump's ICE and empowering it to detain people without any due process
"Military officials were expected to hold talks with representatives from the countries involved in order to clear the air over the incident."
"The countries involved" = The countries whose diplomats Israel shot at?
"Clear the air"?
Incredible — After shooting at a group of diplomats from nearly *two dozen* countries, the Israeli military says it "regrets the inconvenience caused."
The diplomats were from China, Brazil, India, Russia, Japan, Canada, Mexico, France, Türkiye, Spain, Portugal, Jordan, the UK, Egypt, and more.
"It just doesn't make any sense because as grown-ups, we know what children need."
Children's entertainer and educator Rachel Accurso, AKA Ms. Rachel, recounts to @mehdirhasan.bsky.social how witnessing violence against children in Gaza made her want to speak out.
Watch this ALARMING footage from last night's attack on the Freedom Flotilla carrying aid to Gaza.

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.
Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.
What’s “moderate” about that?
Imagine a government that actually works for you. Gun violence prevention that protects our kids, like we’ve passed right here in Michigan. Affordable childcare and access to good hospitals regardless of where you live. More clean energy, more good jobs, and more opportunity.
Ahead of Trump's “celebration” of his first 100 days back in office (right here in Michigan), I want to tell you a story.
Not about Democrats.
Not about Republicans.
About Michigan. 🧵
Trump Is Serious About Sending US Citizens to an El Salvador Prison. That Should Worry Us All
"It's time to set aside our individual and collective denialism and face the truth: The threat to all Americans is real," reports @kimwehle.bsky.social.

Michigan’s red flag law is saving lives.
In just one year, it’s helped stop potential school shootings, domestic violence, suicide, and more.
Now Republicans want to repeal it. I wrote about why we can’t let them. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

While all of the images from the hands off protests are incredible, I keep going back and looking at the crowds in small rural towns across America.
There are so many blue dots in those red seas, and witnessing them come together and organize is giving me a lot of hope.
Child care is infrastructure. It’s how families survive. Stripping critical child care subsidies from 7K NYC families would devastate the same communities always asked to bear the burden. A just budget doesn’t cut care — it protects it. Invest in our people.
"Jeffries is certainly correct that a third term is unconstitutional. But it does not follow that it is impossible. Trump is an insurrectionist occupying the presidency. That’s unconstitutional, but there he is. No one was willing to stop him. This is Trump’s entire playbook, endlessly repeated."
Michigander Mallory McMorrow has announced she's running for the U.S. Senate. This is a column she wrote for TNR back in 2022: @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social
"How to preserve democracy is no longer an interesting thought experiment; rather, it’s an existential question."
The President of the American Petroleum Institute is thanking Trump for excluding his industry from the tariffs.
Giving Trump $1 billion dollars seems to get your industry an exemption from his chaos.
The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it.
Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate.
Because we don't have a minute to wait.

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us.
His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead.

Comedian and commentator @franifio.bsky.social on why the coalition that makes MAGA’s skin crawl represents the best of us.
Gonna plug Chuck Tingle’s book “Bury Your Gays” here. It illustrates pretty clearly why corporations are not our allies (spoiler alert: it’s always about the money) and how rainbow capitalism is just another side of the exploitation coin
we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide
“The tensions surrounding whose humanity matters to the powers that be, of what does and does not constitute murder abound.
@premthakker.bsky.social writes about the contradiction between the fates of two young men who allegedly killed a homeless man and a CEO.

People celebrating Luigi Mangione, the health care CEO assassin, need to understand that vigilante killings are not celebrated or in any way condoned in the United States. We are a civilized country that values the lives of its citizens.
People are disappointed that the guy was just doing it for weirdo reasons and not because of class consciousness but the class consciousness was literally the friends we made along the way. It was everyone in america saying that dickhead deserved it. It was us all along.
Still thinking about how extremely funny it is to come onto a site full of weird nerds (complimentary) and decide to come out against the fucking library
just making a little post with update on way of CAMP DAMASCUS trotting onto this timeline next month. preorders are doing GREAT, vibes are doing GREAT, ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER. chuck wanted to take moment and say from bottom of heart 'thank you for being on this journey with me'
