Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner

And the thing that stands out is that, as his campaign moved toward victory, as it became clear that it was likely, he did not flinch from saying the word. Those who assess this new model should understand that, as much as positioning on issues, it's also about being bold.
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

If you are feeling worn out by the violence, hate and misdirection in the political world, watch this guy.
For decades, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social has shown what politics can be: courageous, collaborative, and grounded in the struggle for justice.
It was an honor to celebrate them on Wednesday night alongside my friend @bradlander.bsky.social.

OK, the bad employment numbers (can't fire another one, can he?,) the RFK debacle, the counter-rage in the cities, Putin ignoring him, rumors of health issues, etc. etc. Solution? Venezuela. Blow some shit up.

Somewhere there's a room full of people strategizing the rollout of "The Engagement" resulting in useless shit in your news feed. But it's an integral part of our current "system" so do your part and read the tedious articles.

Sean Duffy is rushing a program to launch a nuclear reactor to the moon. He makes a weird presumption that whoever puts a reactor there FIRST has some kind of ownership.
Good idea?

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.
There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.
