We live in dangerous times.

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

Actually, talking about people with autism like we have some limd of deficiency is harmful.

It is 9/11. That day isn’t just a memory for lower Manhattan. Every 9/11 we read the names to remember all the people we lost. We also personally know people here who are sick from that day and first responders who our government somehow repeatedly forgets. Remember 9/11.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

New Demand Progess Action poll in NYC - Brad Lander would lead Rep. Dan Goldman by 18 points if he challenged him in the Dem primary. AIPAC toxic in the district, AOC/Mamdani far more popular than Jeffries/Schumer www.semafor.com/article/09/1...

Progressive poll: Mamdani skeptic is vulnerable in NY primary

A left-wing group wants Brad Lander to mount a primary challenge to pro-Israel Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman.

Pretty sure Congress could do something….but why do I doubt they will?

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · Sep 6

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

“Roughly two months before New York City’s mayoral election, Zohran Mamdani has raised enough money to hit the $8 million fund-raising cap.”

Donors Push Mamdani to Maximum Fund-Raising Cap in Mayor’s Race

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign says it has hit the $8 million spending cap, a sign of the Democrat’s support especially among small-dollar donors in New York City.

Was listening to two girls talk about y2k fashion and they were talking about how they found a shirt from the 80s super intact and flawless. Then said “imagine finding something that is that perfect from 50 years ago!” ……………………..I’ve never felt like a fossil before today.

“Beneficiary of the American Dream”. Wild.

Katie Unger @kungernyc.bsky.social · Sep 4

Dan Goldman thinks that over 150 years of inherited generational wealth is being a “beneficiary of the American Dream” … and that’s a reason to vote FOR him.

Shall we do something about it?

Jesse Myerson @jessemyerson.bsky.social · Aug 26

Three years ago this week, in order to thwart energy building behind @yuhline.bsky.social mounting a general election campaign against @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co, @ritchietorres.bsky.social gave this stirring ode to party unity.

Heady days, huh Congressman?

Ritchie Torres tweet:

I am proud to endorse@danielsgoldman as the Democratic nominee for NY10.
The time has come for the Democratic Party to coalesce around the nominee.
Unlike Republicans who insist on perpetuating the big lie, we as Democrats respect the results of elections.

Great thread about the takeaways!

Karen K. Ho @karenho.bsky.social · Aug 25

Now that I am home, here are my post-completion thoughts on the #Zcavengerhunt.

First off: it was much more fun than I thought it would be, and that was largely due to how well it was organized, how it encouraged participants to talk to each other, and the spirit of the event.

A small post it note of a little creature holding a Zohran sign on a fence post. It was spotted while in the hour-long line for the final stop on Zohran Mamdani's scavenger hunt on August 24, 2025 in Astoria, Queens.

Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.

Tweet from Fox News: Andrew Cuomo: "Zohran will talk about woke issues. I want to talk about affordable housing. I want to talk about, 'I'm afraid to have my daughter on the train, the subway." | @TheStoryFNC @marthamaccallum
