I made a helpful line graph. I'm sorry Boomers. You know It's true. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I think I’m developing a late in life case of that thing where cilantro tastes like soap. It’s sad because I love Mexican food, Thai food, and I think every other cuisine that uses cilantro. I don’t care. I’m still adding it to my food until it goes full soap. #cilantro

Flashing back to the time my kids found these photos on my phone, and it was very hard to explain my way out of it. #RFK #KidRock

My daughter was talking about the challenging kids that she's gone to school with. We were debating whether it was better to be bad and dumb, or bad and smart. We agreed that while the bad and smart kid could become vice president, the bad and stupid kid might just become president one day.

I can't wait til my $5,000 midterm check comes, on the 32nd of Nevuary! #$5000check

It's like many Trump voters never heard of the concept of lying. Why would you ever ever believe that man cared about making your life better? Everything he ever did in his life, including every business decision, was evidence to the contrary. #RyleighCooper

I am very skeptical of these supposed "hard to kill" plants. No one has worse instincts for taking care of plants than I do. The more time and money I put into plant placement, watering, fertilizer, soil customization, etc., the worse my plants do! Now I am become death, destroyer of plants.

Why is it that every person who voted for a 3rd party, or sat 2024 out, on the grounds of Gaza is a mf-ing white person, most often a white man? Why didn’t their consciences extend to the vulnerable in this country? They took a gamble and used the rest of us as collateral. #3rdpartyvoter #Gaza

I didn’t think it was possible, but Trump’s presidency is destroying the U.S. worse than everyone predicted it would.

Elsa freaking out in her castle is still the best depiction of having an agitated depressive episode that I’ve ever seen in a film. #depression #bipolar2 youtu.be/T5MK36dkFhE?...

NY Daily News, please edit your headlines better. I was like, “Why did they let him go after they arrested him for murder earlier that day?” #nydailynews

Does everyone else think that Jeanine Pirro is next on the chopping block? She’s a LADY who just made Trump look bad. Is there any reason he would keep her? #reflectingpool

Why can’t Trump ever take after the ‘B’ in ‘dumb’ and stay SILENT? #dumbocrat www.thewrap.com/media-platfo...

My daughter just asked me if you can burn a coin.

I wonder if he’ll ever go too far for his lying, shameless, sycophantic underlings. Would they bring him the nuclear briefcase to bomb the Islamic Republic of Japan? Maybe they would do something to save their own lives, because what does selling your soul for power mean if you’re dead?

Mayor Bill de Blasio does not get the credit he deserves. He instituted a several year rent freeze, free universal Pre-K and free school lunches. He was a complete breath of fresh air after Bloomberg spent his 100 years in office waging a war against us public school teachers.

They put a tarp on top of the East Wing, in front of the Kennedy Center, and now on the fence around the Reflecting Pool. Are they going to try to put a tarp over the Strait of Hormuz next? There’s no tarp big enough to cover up all your fuck ups, Trump administration.

In another example of the Trump administration skirting the line between tragedy and parody, the recipient of Trump’s notorious Reflecting Pool no-bid contract, John J. Cafaro, looks like he’s doing Murray Hill cosplay, badly. @murrayhill.bsky.social.

Listening to “Didn’t We Almost Have it All” by Whitney. It’s been my anthem since that hideous day in November 2024.

It may be because of going to Disney, or because I’m on the subway rn, but I just pictured Trump’s 2nd term as a terrifying tunnel ride that we’re all forced to go through. We wanted It’s a Small World, but we’re on the boat ride from Willy Wonka. The drops are so precipitous, and they never stop.

I’ve said it since 2017, but Trump as president has serious BKBZE, which is “Big ‘kneel before Zod’ energy”. And, yes, this is a reference to a 46-year-old movie, because I’m old. youtube.com/watch?v=_xUi...

@mta.info has total apathy toward their riders! We’re making you late to work 3 out of 4 days this week? So what. We don’t have to tell you what’s wrong with the train. Who do you think our bosses will blame for us being late? Us! Not the real responsible party, the MFing MTA, again!!!

Absolutely not, @mta.info!!! This is the 3rd time in 4 days that the F has been severely delayed from Brooklyn to Manhattan, with zero explanation to riders. You owe us an explanation! I am a teacher who cannot prepare my classroom properly because of these delays. I missed a meeting yesterday!

Why is it only houses that get possessed, and never apartments? Has anyone ever heard of a haunted apartment? I guess most of Gen X, Millennials and future generations are safe from poltergeists, because we can never afford to buy a home.

Trump really has turned our lives into Star Wars. This year has real “end of The Empire Strikes Back” energy. And just like in 1980, we all need to wait 3 years to find out if the resistance can topple a fascist regime.

I live in a 17-story rent stabilized building in Brooklyn with no working elevators. Someone is going to die from a fall, or EMS not reaching them, or a heart attack! Help us, elected officials! @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

I live in a 17-story Brooklyn building that currently has two broken elevators, a slew of 311 complaints dating back years, mayors office complaints, and no action from our landlords, whose motto is “Money please!” @mayor.nyc.gov @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

Can we all just agree that the American experiment is done? We shouldn’t be drawing new congressional maps, we should be drawing new national borders. I would like to wave bye-bye to the people of Dumbfuckistan, and let them deal with Republican plans for food, shelter, medicine and schools.

This asshole is the only one who has launched a large scale attack on DC in the last couple of decades. Everyone in congress should get a ballroom to hide from him.

Please throw Trump in a room with a sick person, and see how much of a Jesus figure he really is.

@mta.info And while I’m at it, why is the M14A bus running every 25 minutes? Commuters like me rely on that bus to get to work. Yesterday I got to work 20 minutes later than expected. I’m a teacher, so that led to me being less prepared to teach. And where are the accordion buses, 3 days post-snow?

@mta.info It snowed 3 days ago. Why is the express F still cancelled? And why pretend that it’s going to go express with the “express” sign on the front of the train, only for it to go local? Please explain.

Let’s never forget that Trump would have been disqualified from running in 2024 if the Senate Republicans had voted to convict him when he was impeached. And Mitch McConnell led those votes, both times. That doesn’t let the American people off the hook, but he shouldn’t have even been on the ballot.

You’d think that the Trump White House would want to at least pretend they are trying to help the poor, working and middle classes. Like throw them a few checks or positive policy decisions. It’s almost like Trump doesn’t care what voters think of him b/c he’s sure he’s got a lock on the midterms.

The city should agree, and when they unveil it, the name will read “Fuck Face McShits-his-Pants Station.” gothamist.com/news/is-nyc-...

This wasn't the best photo to use with this headline, Daily News. I was like, "Didn't someone hire them to fight in the arena?"

Planning a child’s birthday party is brutal when you have social anxiety (and every other type of anxiety, too). It always seems to me like every other parent in the class is bff with each other and hanging out all the time, and I’m the only odd person out.

Why does opening a Google doc that someone's already working on feel like walking in on someone who's going to the bathroom? It's like, "Ooh! Sorry! I'll be leaving now..."

You need to remember that the people serving in Trump’s cabinet are the worst-of-the-worst sycophants and psychopaths. Trump found out that the old guard would not do enough of his bidding, so this time he brought the freak show to town. I hated all of the Trump 1.0 people, but this is far worse.

I think that political violence is horrible and disgusting, whoever the victim is. But if the right want to stop it, they have to have security checking everyone at their events. I’ve never been to a right wing anything, but if they’re encouraging people to carry concealed weapons in public…

He’s a charlatan who’s charred his tan. A char-le-tan? #char-le-tan

#Chipocalypse? That just sounds like what happens whenever Trump sees snack food. I’m shocked that his team can’t even do parody. Fight back Second City! Parody the f—— out of this a—hole.

It’s July 4th and I’m torn between celebrating what our country should be and mourning what our country is.

I imagine No Kings protests will be a bit different in the UK. Like, bro, you clearly do have a king.

I try not to watch videos of him, but when I inadvertently see ones, I am so embarrassed to be an American. It’s pure shame.

This Pride, I think we should do away with the term “ally” all together. They didn’t say “I’m *an ally* of Spartacus”, in Spartacus. They said “I *AM* Spartacus.” If you’re really an ally, you shouldn’t care if people think you’re LGBTQ+ af.
