Infuriating. Be brave and bold, Senator Gillibrand. @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social
Gillibrand is legitimately even worse than Schumer.
Seriously @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social ?
This is what she sent out last night… hours after another ICE execution. With thousands of NYers on the streets. With our immigrant neighbors terrified. With our rights in shreds.
What a pathetic useless collaborator with fascism.

There are few things more disturbing than witnessing the government gun down your fellow citizen on a city street. The more Democrats share video of this, the more they alienate reasonable centrists.

Americans must have the right to bear arms so that they can resist tyranny. But if they exercise that right in a time of tyranny, they should expect to be shot and killed.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social Trump not is advancing "one-sided narratives"--he is telling lies. You presuppose two sides, when in this situation there are not. He is telling a lie, a word that @nytimes, with all its primness & bothsidesism, refuses to use. And thus the NYT itself denies the truth.

If our administration is as racist as the Left claims, then why have the past two civilians we've murdered been white?

My gratitude to poet and memoirist Maggie Smith, host of The Slowdown podcast from American Public Media, for meditating upon and reading my poem "Birthday Wish."

Maybe today you'll wish to be more like a dog or a tree.

It’s time to stop the influx of immigrants who take drugs, father children out of wedlock, and steal from the government.

I haven't watched any of the videos of the shooting of Renee Good but the fact that people on the left think it was murder while people on the right think it was self-defense shows that that the truth must be somewhere in the middle.

Donald Trump says he’d be honored to have Maria Corina Machado give him her Nobel Peace Prize. Here’s 1500 words on young people’s pathetic need for participation trophies.

At what point does it become Zohran Mamdani's Turkish bribery scandal?

A new year.

A new mayor for New York.

A new hope.

On the one hand, they have redacted Trump’s name from the Epstein Files. On the other hand, they have put it on the Kennedy Center.

My kids have measles, there are no toys on the shelves, and I can't afford a steak. But at least there's no sign language interpreter at White House press briefings now.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and my town is flooded with cocaine now that Trump pardoned all the traffickers. But at least the State Department is using Times New Roman again.
