Got to officiate friends wedding upstate. Time to drive back to Brooklyn so I can pack a small bag, sleep, and then fly to Tampa to see the Rays start their World Series comeback

My mother once had to have a biopsy done in her uterus without anesthetic because she didn’t have insurance. My sister has to have a hysterectomy due to 4 different conditions affecting her…but her insurance just denied her saying it wasn’t “medically necessary” We need universal healthcare. Now.

2 years ago, I volunteered to be a guardian of a 20 year old kid that came from Guinea to help get juvenile status. We’ve messaged every day since. On Friday, the text bubble went green, no texts being delivered on WhatsApp, and straight to voicemail.

There’s a high probability something small happened, like he lost or broke his phone. There’s also the possibility he’s been grabbed by ICE. I have been so anxious and stressed and getting 0 answers. Yes I’ve tried calling, I check the website. So anyway. Thank god for the Tampa Bay Rowdies & Rays

I don’t have many photos from these trips…but this is gotta be 2010. My best friends and I piled into a Ford Edge and hit two games in Baltimore and one in Boston. That’s just 1 of our trips I’ve dyed my hair blue and cut a Rayshawk In a week, I’ll be at the trop watching them in the World Series

Guys. Life might be shit right now, but the Rowdies won the players shield, and the rays are a win away from the World Series. If I didn’t have good sports, I probably would break in the moment

This shooting belongs to every Republican who voted to shred our Constitution in exchange for tax breaks. There's one right here in NYC in Nicole Malliotakis. As humans, we must stand up to violent abuse of power; as Democrats, we must organize to send a resounding message in November.

Today, ICE shot a man in a car in the Bronx while a child was in the car. Thankfully the man is expected to survive. You can't reform this. It’s long overdue to abolish this unconstitutional, reckless private military force that is terrorizing our communities nationwide.

My entire algorithm is just pissed off Yankees fans and man… I can’t say I’m upset about it. Each one brings a little smile on my face

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Yesterday, former Party Chair Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, violating a court order, called a meeting to hold a vote for party chair. Now she claims Nikki Lucas was elected chair, with votes from only 13 of the 42 District Leaders. This is illegal and undemocratic.

Michael Caley@michaelcaley.bsky.social

last night, 13 Brooklyn Dems leaders held a meeting and claim they elected a new chair how many ways was this illegal? -RBH is not the party leader, Nydia Velazquez is -the majority of "voters" at this meeting are not elected DLs -there is a specific order enjoining against holding an ExCo meeting

Just when I think this saga couldn’t take another turn. A month before midterms and this is how BK dems are spending their energy

Julio Peña III@juliopenabk.com

The former chair of the BK Dems is trying to call a meeting at 10pm tonight to pick a new chair, in defiance of a judge’s order and using rules that the court struck down. No one should attend this meeting. Democrats respect the results of elections and the rule of law.

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Very thankful for this guy.

This is actually quite common. In a lot of municipalities the CPS will consider this “neglect.” Not that the state failed bc housing isn’t affordable or the only jobs available don’t provide for cost of living. But it’s the parents fault. It’s another prison pipeline.

In 2018, Annalinda Martinez and her daughters became homeless. She went to Georgia's child welfare agency looking for help finding housing. Instead, the state took her children. Then DFCS began charging her for their foster care. Those bills eventually left her $13,000 in debt.

I missed this due to vacation and all. Almost spit my coffee out on this plane. 💀

"For six years, I’ve sat in the center of what many call Brooklyn’s political game of thrones — a place where power is coveted, alliances shift overnight, and battles erupt without warning. Some joked I was the Mother of Dragons, holding fire in one hand and strategy in the other." LOL WHAT

another reason to watch women’s sports. So you don’t look an absolute fucking idiot in front of the country.

Lmfao. One of the few things that’s allowed us to survive this era is the pure stupidity and incompetence of republicans

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Replying to @atrupar.com

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

The key thing is that the Brooklyn Democratic Party needs to honor the will of the voters. That means the newly elected District Leaders should be the ones selecting the new Party Chair, and that chair should be @juliopenabk.com -- the clear choice of a majority of duly-elected District Leaders!
