Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. 🗽

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

A moment of solidarity: delegates from NAACP NY State Conference passed a resolution this morning in support of Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, &
condemned the weaponization of the justice system & political persecution of her & others upholding the rule of law, chanting "Hands Off Tish!"

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.

Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.

Hey remember last fall, when members of the press credulously reported that Trump would increase high-skilled immigration?
This will end it pretty much entirely.

Tech billionaires who supported him, thinking they could sway his h1b policy should know they contributed to the destruction of US ability to compete in the world. Doctors, scientists, bright minds are fleeing this country because it’s politically useful for this small man to demonize immigrants.

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

After Shocking Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Trump Keeps Successfully Silencing His Critics — and That’s Terrifying.
'Jimmy Kimmel Live' is the latest victim of Trump's weaponized FCC and media conglomerates quick to bend the knee: variety.com/2025/tv/news...

A group of 19 Democratic governors on Thursday condemned President Trump’s threat to send National Guard troops into major cities like Chicago, Baltimore and New York as an “alarming abuse of power.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...

Quinnipiac’s poll finds disapproving numbers for both Trump and the masked, out-of-control agency carrying out his cruel agenda. Americans disapprove of “the way US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, is enforcing immigration laws” by a 57-39% margin👇🏽

Republicans in Congress have voted to devastate millions of people across our nation — kicking Americans off their health care, shuttering hospitals, eliminating food assistance, and raising costs.

This is Project 2025 in action.

In my latest piece, I examine how the collapse of a common and shared reality is threatening our ability to govern, deliberate, and make informed decisions. From AI-driven disinformation to the concentration of power in a handful of platforms, the stakes have never been higher.

today is one of those days that kamala harris gifs were made for.

Does Bluesky have a way yet to bulk import following accounts that I used to follow on (the artist formerly known as) Twitter? I don’t particularly want to start from scratch. (I realize it will only work if people kept their handles the same, but it would be a nice start, and save a lot of time)

Definitely a lot more activity here than I recall there being a few months ago… but how long before this app becomes as toxic as Twitter? #ThanksJack 🤨⏰
