Meta strongly appears to be an enemy of democracy in the US. Proceed accordingly. If you're a politician, activist, or organization on the left, you HAVE to build your presence off of Meta and X - which basically means here and Mastodon. Bring your audience over as much as possible. It's critical.

Join me in supporting @caribbeanequality.bsky.social and queer and trans organizers across NYC in calling on the City Council to provide critical funding to nonprofit and legal services to support LGBTQIA+ immigrants! actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

i know politicians are terrified of public opinion on immigration, but given how badly the other side has failed, i really think if we had a bit of courage many people would hear us out www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-g...

Best day for democracy worldwide in quite some time: Brazil’s center-left president won the runoff in an upset, blocking the far-right from gaining unified power. Serbia’s right-wing authoritarian government finally lost control of parliament after more than a decade in power

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

I interviewed @mikedecillis.bsky.social in Bay Ridge yesterday, and here's why you support him as he runs to flip NY-11 from red to blue! tl,dr: This is our chance to knock out the only Republican US rep in NYC!!!

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Early voting opens this Saturday, giving New Yorkers the chance to cast their ballot for state and federal offices. As voters head to the polls, Civic Engagement Fellows from CUNY ISLG and @nycvotes.bsky.social and their host site managers share lessons they’ve learned: buff.ly/CPTl5k7

If 2025's major ballot prop theme was Yay Increase Multifamily Buildings Yugely (YIMBY), 2026's might be Fix All Streets and other Stuff Today (FASST). hellgatenyc.com/crash-course...

The proposal would eliminate arduous reviews that DOT must perform with sub-units within outside agencies, and close loopholes for lawsuits if the agency misses minor paperwork. buff.ly/mmZ3mmh

Literally fire all the Democratic fundraising consultants and shut down all these fucking companies.

I have been praying for this kind of pushback from Democrats against Elon Musk for a long time now and I am thrilled that the Talarico camp is leaning into it. Light. Him. Up.

Great to see this benefits access/navigation work happening at CUNY!

it would be cool if this outcome got the same amount of coverage as the anti-trans ads that caused it. would be cool if the people impacted by political rhetoric were treated with as much care and attention as those pushing it receive

One of the reasons Transportation Alternatives conspiracy theories spread is because there are diminishingly few local news sources in NYC and people have rotted their brains on TikTok and Reels bsky.app/profile/gwyn...

The Israeli Foreign Ministry is lying. No coordination was required, and we were never told that it was. We were not in a restricted security area. We did not pass any checkpoints.

Let's see: - it's a GOP candidate who launched an ugly, unimaginable attack vs the Dem in OH Sen race - It's the Rs launching relentless racist attacks on MI's Dem Sen. candidate - We hear Trump's ugly rhetoric everyday Why is it so hard to say straight up: Rs are responsible for this ugliness?

It's time for a Brooklyn Democratic Party that fights Republicans. Join @juliopenabk.com and the Brooklyn Can't Wait coalition Wednesday at 5:30pm to canvass for @mikedecillis.bsky.social and @chrismccreight.bsky.social w/ DNC Vice Chair @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social

Universal child care presents a generational opportunity for New York to invest in itself, in parents, and in children. Our team found that universal child care could bring economic benefits between $3.3 billion to $10.9 billion annually for NY. buff.ly/sFFTRiZ

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

I was so moved by this Christian dad’s response to a despondent trans kid whose father wouldn’t support their care on “Christian” grounds. It’s never OK to use Christ as a weapon of hate. God is love. 💗 www.reddit.com/r/cisparentt...

This is one of my favorite events in Fellowship (and judging by the RTs I'm not alone in this). For me it's because so much of the underlying emotional potency of the books stems from the setting, and especially from sites that are intrusions into the present moment from Middle Earth's deep past.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

it makes my blood boil every time there’s a bullshit tech demo and everyone goes back to “oh that scamp elon has done it again” he’s a vicious monster out to ruin the lives of millions of people who don’t deserve any of it and he should be treated accordingly

There’s, like, an entire show about this

Today’s the day! Let’s turn NYCs only swing district 💙💙 Join us 11am in Bay Ridge, BK for a parade all about early voting and #NOKINGS www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social

What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!

Means-testing is the enemy. It's a trick — a sham. It erodes social cohesion. It stigmatizes. We must escape this notion of deserving and undeserving and drawing arbitrary lines that only serve to divide us. Instead, we should provide universally and tax the rich appropriately.

This is going to be one of the swiftest and most painful asymmetries as gas keeps going up; communities that provided options to leave the car at home are giving their citizens a cushion others won't have.

We’re expanding our discretionary grant pilot program to speed up funding for nonprofits that serve New Yorkers. Now, 800 nonprofit partners are on track to receive funding within 30 days — cutting months of red tape so they can spend less time on paperwork and more time serving our communities.

i simply want democrats to be the version of themselves that steven miller conjures in his nightmares

My fellowship with Truthout/The Appeal ends at the end of the month. If you're looking for a reporter who focuses on the U.S. legal system +/or immigration, please let me know! In the meantime, I'll continue to publish on my substack, The Carceral Report - please subscribe! www.thecarceralreport.com

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.

Here is my pitch for anyone who has worries about rail: I think that building out rail is a necessary (but not sufficient) step in transforming American cities from totally car dependent to slightly walkable, in a way that no other form of transit is.

So many heartbreaking stories of ICE violence right now. Uplifting this request from a family in Maine who just had their world upended by ICE seizing their dad at the airport. Ripping apart families makes no one safer. www.gofundme.com/f/help-reuni...

good lord how can anyone be this whiny; are you not ashamed

Hundreds of protestors march from the site where an ICE agent shot a father in the Bronx on 10/8 to the hospital where he was being held. Defund and abolish ICE. Chinga la migra. 🧵 of photos...

Thousands of outraged New Yorkers show up for emergency rally after ICE shot an immigrant father in the Bronx. #ICEOutofNY

We’re sick of ICE terrorizing our neighbors. Sick of it. Like the brave people of Minneapolis, we have zero tolerance for federal agents lawlessly unleashing violence on our streets.

jesus christ i have never heard a democratic talk this bluntly about an opponent
