The median New Yorker is probably pretty bad at social media, so the Cuomo campaign's inept posting strategy may in fact make him more relatable.

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.

NEW: SCOTUS shoots down a federal judge’s effort to protect eight men from being expelled—without due process—to South Sudan, where they face torture and death.

Dissenting, Sotomayor says the court’s “indefensible” decision makes it complicit in “lawlessness.” www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

J.D. Vance ought to be ex-communicated from the Catholic church, as should everyone who participated in passing that budget.

I really struck a nerve here. I stand by what I said.

Fighting back works, and here's the proof.

After Donald Trump fired half of all federal education workers, I called for an independent investigation.

Now, that investigation is underway. We're going to get the American people answers.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.

Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.

Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.

This is unbelievable.

I think there are a bunch of people who think telling people how to say things is activism. We have to not be so damned precious about the exact words and just start loudly agreeing with each other. Yes - and. Less theatre criticism, more movement building,

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.

This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

I’ve had Canadians ask where the resistance is, too, and the answer is that it is on the ground all over this country, responding to and trying to prepare communities for an administration bent on pulling funding for every social service we have.

There is no time for performative resistance.
After Donald Trump’s election in 2016, establishing a cultural and a political resistance to his Administration was a project of urgent importance. Why does the resistance feel diminished this time around?
What Happened to the Trump Resistance?
If the President’s first term was colored with protests and hashtags, his second has so far been characterized by a lack of dissidence.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!
