This. Get out of the damn way.
If you’re a democratic leader, and your main talking point is “kitchen table issues”, you’ve completely lost the plot. People are dying out here in the real world. A lot of us don’t have a kitchen table, or food to put on it. We’re LITERALLY fighting for our lives. Get real or get out of the way.
Yet another great piece from an excellent writer.
As someone who left home in L.A. to build a life in Toronto back in 2019, Kawhi's return means a whole lot to me. On the eve of my first Canada Day as a citizen, I wrote about the player who changed the course of my life. www.theringer.com/2026/06/30/n...
Fiorello would be proud.
When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

"The structure whose supports our elites are steadily kicking down is also the one that props up their own personal safety from disaster and political invulnerability to accountability. And all of this can go away." me in @bostonreview.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-y...
Thank you, Fever! Pay the players.
Aliyah Boston has signed a MEGA extension! At 4-years totaling $6.3 Million through 2029, she'll account for 20% of the team's total salary cap, as a result of the new EPIC provision. She'll make $1 million this year. Per, @alexaphilippou.bsky.social and @kendra-andrews.bsky.social #WNBA

I am VERY excited to announce that I will be attending Harvard University as a Phd student in @markschen.bsky.social's Emotion and Psychopathology in Context Lab!
New paper! A laboratory examination of negative affect and cognitive control following errors. This was Bella Peckinpaugh’s senior thesis. Great project and such a joy to work on with her. @pacerlab.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Yes.
Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target
Welcome to the lab, Reilly!
Reilly graduated from the University at Buffalo in 2024. Broadly, his interests involve utilizing the EEG to investigate mechanisms of risk for internalizing pathologies (e.g, anxiety/depression). Outside of the lab, he enjoys hiking, watching shows, and spending time with his friends.

We can't just tax the rich. We need tax their investment gains. Right now our tax code values billionaires' paper profits over *your* labor. Want to make America a fairer country for the working class? Here's how we do it: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A bill to make sure poor people stay hungry, sick, and dying so rich people can be slightly richer. Actually evil. We need to make people understand it in those terms and not something about “budgets” or “house reconciliation bills”
Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

Been ages since I’ve seen a movie so vivid. Every detail, done with intent. See it in imax. Then see it again.
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners (2025) redefines the vampire genre, blending action, horror, and cultural depth. Set in 1932, it explores freedom, identity & the power of music in a supernatural struggle. A must-watch & stay until theater lights are on. Full review: sarahgvincentviews.com/movies/sinne...
I see many Democrats posting hollow words while going about their business as usual. That is not leadership. This is leadership.
I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.
When my Dad retired as a history teacher, he threw himself into writing. Family stories, thrillers, historical fiction—and everything in between. Here’s his latest, recalling his experience protesting the Vietnam War. Keep writing, Dad! www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3XG2LQ...

Sickening indeed.
The “I’ve never physically hurt anyone” line bothers me so much. USAID cuts are killing kids, DOGE cuts are taking away people’s jobs/health insurance, but bc he’s never punched a guy he thinks he’s OK. Sickening when politicans/elites think they’re morally separated from the death & pain they cause
