This is terrorism.

Judge Diane Goodstein’s Edisto Beach home burned down on October 4, 2025, after she blocked DOJ access to voter registration data. Her husband and son were seriously injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

The list of heavyweight Dems in New York and across the country who have endorsed Mamdani keeps getting longer. This is shaping up as a real litmus test for politicians' understanding of the future of the Democratic Party.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 23d

I’m so grateful for today’s endorsement from Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. It’s been an honor to serve in the majority conference he leads in Albany and I look forward to the important work we can accomplish together for the people of New York City.

Endorsement graphic with a photo of Carl Heastie. It reads: “Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie Endorses Zohran Mamdani for Mayor.”

Thank you! If you still have friends here, tell them about it! I will also be doing a different installation there with my leaf people fabrics on September 20th! It's a such a beautiful place!

Karen Faris @karenfaris.bsky.social · Sep 1

The world has become unfathomable on every level so I invite everyone in the greater Rochester area to come to Tinker Park, Henrietta NY to walk the trails and see some art. This is a collaboration with Jappie King Black who did the grapevine figures. Yesterday we installed the banners.

Do you love alpine plants, ancient DNA, and/or population genetics? My lab will be hiring a postdoc soon to be based at the University of Maine! We’re looking for someone who uses genetic tools and thinks like a community ecologist. Happy to chat at #ESA2025 if you’re interested.

Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this.

Definition of terms:

“these people” = Latino migrants

“Inner city people” = Black people

“We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Aug 5

Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."
