We're watching the LeBron of politics of his generation.

Raul Rivera yelling outside Mamdani presser. Mamdani: “I want that man to be able to afford to keep living in NYC, because the day that I don't hear him yelling at me, it means he got priced out of this place.” “We need to make this a city where it's affordable enough to yell at your politicians.”

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade. The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances. Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S. Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

Konaté scored in his first game back in the Liverpool lineup since his father passed away. He was in tears as all his teammates celebrated with him and even Alisson ran across the pitch to join in 🥹

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Before I became mayor, I had the privilege of serving in the New York State Assembly. And on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Astoria & Long Island City can elect @DianaforQueens to continue our work. I'm so proud to endorse Diana, a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer & a democratic socialist.

I heard there’s a job opening in Astoria. I asked the Mayor if I have a shot.

Any politician who thinks making sure every person is paid a true living wage and has high quality healthcare is too radical should not be quoting Dr. King today.

Martin Luther King Jr. understood better than almost anyone that racial justice and economic justice are inextricably intertwined. Watch his powerful call to end poverty from his final Sunday Sermon.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

zeteo.comBREAKING: Ilhan Omar Denounces ICE After Agents Block Her Tour of Detention FacilityAfter a tense standoff with armed, masked agents, Omar and two other Democrats were blocked from carrying out their oversight duties.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

Also it makes him sound like a bigger pussy than these maga guys usually sound like/are even; if u watch the video, you’re saying this allegedly big tough strong ICE man had reason to be scared of the kind of gentle turn and movement you’d make in a Kroger parking lot

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social

Defaming a murdered woman and shrugging off her death with a lie is about as evil as it gets and no journalist who gets within shouting distance of this vicious troll should let him have a moment's peace about it.
