Dear Andrew Cuomo,
New Yorkers rejected you in the primary. And now you’re pressing them again to pick you?
No means no.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.
Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.
Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

The Army is an amazing institution. I think it’s great that its 250th birthday is coming up and it is being celebrated with a parade. If the President’s birthday coincides, just makes it more fun. I appreciate our servicemen, I don’t agree with all the outrage.

The news on here is pretty grim. Just remember, big changes are made by being kind to each other on an individual basis. Practice love and kindness to everyone you meet and we will all get through this.

The Sixth Amendment right to counsel applies to everyone regardless of citizenship status. Trump is testing whether he can get away with disappearing immigrants without a trial. If he gets away with this then he will disappear citizens. Like your family, your friends, your neighbors. Like you.
60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

Are we great again yet? Just wondering… the El Salvador gulags, tanking market, the ICE abductions. Are we finally great again yet?

Trump is calling today "Liberation Day" as he imposes his massive tariff/tax increase on all of us. Trump is LIBERATING us from our money. Why? To pay for a tax cut for Elon Musk and Trump's other wealthy oligarchs.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow.
She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
