Do you like Zohran's goals of universal childcare + free buses? That means you want New York State to tax the rich.

It also means you disagree with Governor Kathy Hochul, who's telling state agencies to reduce services.

Hochul is facing a primary next year; let us make #TaxTheRich the main issue.

🤓WONKY STATEMENT ALERT🤓

Gov. Hochul wants to cut New York State Agency budgets (again). But with [gestures wildly] everything going on right now, New Yorkers need to be able to depend on public programs AND the people who keep them running.

👇Our full statement👇 (& more wonkiness in this thread)
On Thursday, New York State Budget Director Blake Washington sent a letter to agency commissioners, requesting that their budget proposals for the next fiscal year not exceed the amount of the current fiscal year; in other words, their budget requests for the 2027 Fiscal Year should remain “flat.” This follows a New York Focus report that already-strained government staff must scramble to enforce new federal SNAP requirements in a matter of weeks. In response, the Invest in Our New York Campaign released the following statement:
“While Gov. Hochul will frame this request as keeping budgets flat, we know the truth: This is a cut to public programs and services. As costs skyrocket and many agencies are already short-staffed, the governor wants public servants to do more with so much less. 

“Gov. Hochul needs to stop playing the blame game with D.C. Republicans and start acting in the best interest of the people she represents. Convene a special session, raise the public funds our state desperately needs by taxing the super-rich, and invest in the offices, programs, and services that support New Yorkers.”

This is nightmarish and every Dem politician, every media figure who is silent is complicit. This is not supposed to happen here. Masked thugs with guns dragging moms away in front of their screaming children. Trump’s government must be destroyed and his accomplices must rot in prison

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"
Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries
Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

The essence of Bari Weiss: not reporting, but crude partisan propaganda presented in the form of reporting—and usually pronounced from the mouths of anonymous sources which likely don't exist. Expect this sort of prolefeed at CBS News soon.

I’m not a political strategist or a social psychologist, but to me this seems true and important. Values must be activated. Surviving a real crisis takes real leadership.
Highlighted: “We've learned, hearteningly, that majorities seem to harbor a deep attachment to liberal rights and liberties, one that instinctively recoils at masked kidnappings, at hypermilitarized vehicles on urban boulevards, at the trappings of totalitarian dictatorship. But this must be activated. That takes conflict and controversy-powerful imagery and language that rivets attention.”

“I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS” is the greatest clickbait book title ever (it’s not about what you think, although the history is highly relevant)

Yooooooooooooooooo.

Gonna do a book.
Journalist, podcast creator, and Punk Planet founder Dan Sinker's I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS!: Terror, Truth, and the Editor Who Took on the Klan, a narrative account of crusading journalist George Dale, who faced off against a powerful, ascendant Klan movement in 1920s Indiana, and who serves as a model of journalistic integrity and defiance in the face of fascism, to Eric Kerl and Katy O'Donnell at Haymarket, at auction, by David Patterson at Stuart Krichevsky Agency (NA).

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.
