Just an observation, when the smart people are almost, to a person, either reprehensible, self-serving oligarchs, or socialists who want healthcare, food, water, and shelter being acknowledged human rights, some people have *way* too much difficulty understanding the choice...

Cognetti: We don’t want Joe Rogan or OAN talking about this district because we have a congressman who has become one of the most prolific stock traders—someone who dumped six figures’ worth of Medicaid provider stock a week before he trashed a trillion dollars of Medicaid.

Happy Thanksgiving from the ice cream aisle.

Thankful for our city.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Rightwingers are expressing their violent tendencies because decent Americans want their US military members to follow the US Constitution and not a criminal with a voracious need to break every law.

I stand with the Constitution, and I will always support those who defend it.

There are times when it is easy to forget what an actual mayor *is*, as a man of his people... inspiring to see.

This is unbecoming of a mayor to be honest. He should not be doing photo ops with “Catholic” Charities he should be doing actual New York mayor elect work like further militarizing the police in Queen or getting blackmailed by Tom Homan on live tv

If you had questions about Trump's "assassination attempts" wait until you see info about the guy who shot the National Guard troops. He was a CIA trained killer who worked in an elite unit in Afghanistan known for killing civilians. Now he travelled from Wash state to DC to shoot random troops 🤔

So Trump granted asylum to the National Guard shooter. And the timing was perfect to distract people from his troubles. Too many coincidences. Reminds me of his fake assassination attempt.

And Trump was ordered to remove the Guard because their deployment was unconstitutional. He is looking for excuse to declare martial law.

The last president who declared that anything he does is legal was Richard M. Nixon. And we all know how things worked out for him . . .

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.

Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.

We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

In this time of growing Christian Nationalism, it is important to remember the *real* history of Thanksgiving. The Puritans didn't just come to the New World to flee persecution, they came here so they could be the ones doing the persecution.

Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:

• Afghan man shoots a National Guard member:
With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.

She's not wrong about the existence of the line.

She's wrong about which side of it she is standing on.
