Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Honestly, the NYT siding with Idi Amin and saying that Indian-Ugandans are not Africans is not something I saw coming.

if you’re wondering about the gop plan to deal with the electoral fall out of passing a massively unpopular bill, it’s “even if we lose the midterms we will retain control of the courts, the presidency, and now, thanks to this bill, a massive federal police state”

Andrew Cuomo was the US Secretary of Housing and is now running for mayor, where one of the largest agencies they manage is NYC's Housing Authority.

And yet Cuomo literally had ChatGPT write his campaign housing policy.

This is who the media and establishment want you to think is "serious"

Someone on Twitter posted that they had run into Philip Glass at their lower Manhattan polling place, saying nice things about Mamdani.

The campaign put this up as a quote-tweet within the hour.

Freshly back on @bsky.app after the twitter algo finally terminally infected my feed and I'm disappointed to see that my discover page here is 30-40% AI slop and deep fried Facebook memes. Is it like this for everyone, or am I doing something wrong?

This is why public-private partnerships are not actually cost-saving, since losses on the part of the private contractors are inevitably absorbed by the public. The city is owed affordable housing or ~$2 million a month!
New York is letting the owner of the Atlantic Yards avoid millions of dollars in monthly penalties for missing a decade-old affordable housing deadline: bit.ly/44SD9yy

Weaponizing social media in an effort to curb critical speech is straight out of Erdoğan's playbook. The AKP-ification of the United States continues unabated.
NEW—Rubio issues State Dept. cable instructing enhanced social media vetting for ALL people (students, faculty, etc) seeking travel visas to Harvard under guise of “antisemitism.”

All social media profiles must be public, otherwise seen “as an effort to evade or hide certain activity.”
