I met Antonio before he announced his first ever run in politics (for Congress in '18). He is the *real deal.*
New York, I’m not here to play the game. I’m here to change it.

I’m running to be your next Governor.

I wish the neck beards writing for the Atlantic had the stones to actually write transgressive articles. Publish "Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit" or "Pete Hegseth should spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement" if you're really such a fearless truth teller.
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Reason #1,673 to vote @delgadoforny.bsky.social in the primary next year, fellow NYers...
BREAKING: NY Gov. Kathy Hochul gutted an AI regulation bill awaiting her signature and replaced it wholesale with a weaker version sought by Big Tech firms. At least two of the groups lobbying on the bill held fundraisers for Hochul in recent weeks.

A bill that passed the New York legislature was completely gutted and substituted with language perceived as friendlier to the industry.

Jesus, just stop. Democrats are winning now.

And if some voters feel this way about Democrats, a major reason is that THE FUCKING CONSULTANTS KEEP SAYING THE PARTY IS TOO LIBERAL AND OUT OF TOUCH. They incessantly reinforce the stereotype.

we have to make supreme court expansion a 2028 nominee litmus test, we have to get every candidate on the record about what their plan is to rein in this rogue court of unaccountable ideologues

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

Expanding the Supreme Court will be very popular if only Democrats had courage to explain it and message accordingly.

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.

There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

“Strong floor, no ceiling” is the type of slogan that resonates with wealthy centrist political commentators, not everyday people who are actually your voters. What does that mean to someone who is struggling to afford rent, groceries, insurance? This is why Zohran’s policy slogans were so effective

Been working all day and just catching up with the Discourse.

My takes:

- Turkey is delicious... with S&P + gravy. (Dry, not so much.)
- Stuffing is the best part of the main T-day meal.
- Mashed potatoes are 2nd.
- Cranberry sauce is gross.
- Pecan is the best pie by an order of magnitude.

Welp, just reupped my health insurance. My #Obamacare / #ACA premiums went from $453.19/mo. to $890.27/mo.

#Trump's #BigBeautifulBill sure is helping with the cost of living!

Hochul has given her answer, she’s only looking out for her wealthy donors.

With Democratic state legislators coming under pressure to support the mayor-elect’s proposal, the big question is whether Governor Kathy Hochul will resist the tide.

Interesting. I've seen tons of analysis re: each individual step that's brought us to where we are today in the #Epstein scandal, but I don't think I've seen anyone on Bluesky actually sum everything up. So, since I just did so for some folks who haven't been following as closely, sharing here:

Vote @delgadoforny.bsky.social for Governor in the primary next year, fellow New Yorkers!
Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables.

Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine.

Is this why?
