A good friend told me a few weeks ago: "I thought I would be different under fascism but I'm just the exact same person and it's profoundly disappointing to me." I think this is a more widespread view than is publicly discussed. I think that disappointment in ourselves is morphing into negativity.

Frightening and infuriating.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Taking from those in need and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

-SCOTUS letting states withhold healthcare from trans folks
-changes to 988 impacting their ability to support LGBTQ+ folks
-the renaming of the ship previously named after Harvey Milk
-defunding of HIV research

#TheChi is one of my absolute favorite shows. So smart and compassionate. The most recent episode had me sobbing. I need Lynn Whitfield to win all the awards. If you haven’t yet, you need to watch it now, 7th season and it just gets better and better.

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

Next up is Andrew Cuomo. He says the election is "fairly simple."
