Could you imagine if politicians around the country and globe thought and acted like he does? I wish we lived in that world.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 3: Earl Manigault

When he stepped onto the court, the world watched. No one dunked harder or jumped higher. But the GOAT never made it pro.

There are countless NYC stories like his. Brilliant talents lost to drugs or crime. It doesn’t have to be this way.

UNTIL IT'S DONE, Ep. 2

When the Brownsville Clinic opened in 1916, it was the first birth control center in America. Its very existence felt impossible. For young women, it was a lifeline.

109 years later, the Clinic is long closed—but Brownsville mothers are still struggling.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Legitimately tearing up. Right now things seem so dark at times to have someone running who sees queer people as people and not just votes or pawns. Someone who honors all queer people and is proud to say it. It really does give me hope.

I swear I love this man. Fuck 🥲 He has to be our mayor. I want to live in a place where leaders like him are in place. Could you imagine if we just had a president, supreme court, congress that thought and acted with he constant level of care and empathy. If politicians actually gave a damn.

I found my truth at this pier as a teen, I saw who I wanted to be freely by watching those before me love one another at this pier. It’s truly a special place as a gay New Yorker.

Personally I am sick to death hearing about Kirk. The assassination of Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the attempted assassination of Senator John Hoffman, and his wife Yvette and daughter Hope didn't get this much press and they were in politics.

Here's what I'll say about this. This kind of thing should be shutting down the keyboard thugs. Regardless of party lines. Democrats once they are back in power should absolutely be taking out and lining up all the nut jobs that send this shit and just handing out felonies to these Maga weirdos.

Had to watch that cunt "patrolling the border" on horseback every time I signed in to my immigration page. Had to hear that cunt voice saying "if you follow the law you are welcome" knowing she's covering for pedos. The gaslighting, immorality and criminality is off the charts.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

aside from the deep dives TRK is quite literally the only big brother analysis content i consume!!! they’re severely underrated because their takes are incredible but they get lost in the noise of larger platforms. definitely get into them if you haven’t already #bb27

There are all sorts of podcasters out there who review, comment on, and provide updates about Big Brother. Maybe we should lift up some of those folks from time to time. Particularly BIPOC podcasters like @therealitykingdom.bsky.social. I would love to see players from #bb27 do their show.

If this was Teresa, Bravo would make it their MAIN focus to show her Wife Swap show. Bravo is proving AGAIN that if you're Black the consequences are worse #rhop

Give it up Deelishis you look like a man..🧍🏾‍♂️ @blackranga.blacksky.app · 18h

Multiple housewives had tv shows, multiple seasons filmed, AND were on spinoffs during the court process. One even had a spinoff show while she was in jail.

This is the most Bravo has ever done against a a housewife, mind you, Teresa’s fraud was in the millions.
