Oh my GOD.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

i'd feel inclined to say Mars linked w Jupiter would be found where the violence is linked to fighting because of zealotry or smth

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali.

Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair.

New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

The scale of the homelessness crisis among the youngest New Yorkers is staggering. We have to tackle it head on.

In addition to building significantly more affordable housing and bringing down the cost of living, I'll double funding for "Every Child and Family Is Known."

i just love a fellow Libra. he's so funny

"His vision reflects both compassion and common sense."

Samra Brouk and Jo Anne Simon — Chairs of the Mental Health Committees in the NYS Senate and Assembly — endorse our plan to address the mental health crisis with real, evidence-based solutions.

Smart move by two young upstate NY reporters: they filed a FOIA for body cameras worn by the sheriff’s deputies at an ICE raid. These are almost always civil raids so there’s no ongoing criminal investigation that would require that footage to stay confidential. Replicable by any media outlet.

"Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work"

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

aren't VFX people historically some of the most exploited and underpaid people in the modern film industry

Ugh shoutout to Jupiter day, we LOVE Jupiter day

Ngl it's one of the best visual novels i've ever played, the writing has such a strong sense of place. also hi oomf ily

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media

An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

This morning we gathered on McGuinness Blvd.

After a beloved Greenpoint teacher was killed in a crash, the local community thought they had won a transformative redesign of this dangerous road — then the work was halted by City Hall corruption.

As Mayor, I’ll finish the job.

Every journalist in the West should hang their head in shame. You let this happen to Palestinian journalists, because you don't consider them humans, let alone colleagues. Remember when you rocked #JeSuisCharlie hashtags & avatars for weeks because 12 people were killed you did consider colleagues?

just finished a 7 week training to be a teacher........... this year has really felt like my foot is on the gas and the brake at the same time cuz wdym 😵‍💫

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

The last time a DSA-backed upstart overthrew an establishment Democrat in a NY mayoral primary, what happened next wasn't pretty. India Walton has some hard-won advice for Zohran Mamdani about what to expect, and how to handle it:

Good morning NYC! Everyone get out and vote and encourage everyone around you to NOT RANK CUOMO

Damn right!!!
