My AmStaff/pit bull/pug is beloved by me, my son, & 100's of brilliant people in my wonderful NYC hood. Mostly here for smashing imperialism & promoting socialism. Beware vile Project Esther & christofascists (& all of Project 2025). #StopTrump

In just 23 days NYC will set this nation on its future course when it elects Zohran Mamdani as its 111th mayor by an overwhelming margin.

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.

I know this sounds extreme. It is.

I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am.

Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever.

But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

it’s donut and pie season and I just want to remind the nation that there is no nutmeg in connecticut, that is a tropical plant. The state is called the nutmeg state because early yankee peddlers used chunks of wood carved to look like nutmeg to trick people into trading them for better goods

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future: We are noticing.

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

The Portland thing gives me some hope because we, as a society, glorify violence because our government IS violence. But the cycle of retaliation can never stop without some really intense problem solving and big picture work.

To see de-escalation with frog suits, of all things.

THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION CALLED "ANTIFA."
ANTIFA stands for anti-fascism.
World War Il veterans are
ANTIFA because they fought fascism.
Anyone against fascism is
ANTIFA.
There is no membership card.
Anyone can be ANTIFA.
Everyone should be ANTIFA.
I am...
ANTIFA

Captain, have we subdued the Froggy Liberation Front and neutralized the Unicorn Resistance?

Yes, Madam Secretary, all perimeters are secure as we prepare for the Naked Bike Ride offensive.
