Sure seems like somebody had a stroke...
Put me down to donate a half dozen she-wees. We all gotta do our part.
If you care about Democracy, and can afford it at all, please just give @marcelias.bsky.social and his team the measly $10 a month to help them fund the legal fight to keep it. The content is worth it but the money literally goes to the work.
FYI - the best Indian restaurant in the country is about 35 minutes from there. Aarzu in Freehold. @thecollegeatelier.bsky.social and have had a weekly standing reservation for over 4 years and we've never had a less than perfect experience and meal.
Selling US equities and looking at international mutual funds focused in the places that stand to benefit most/suffer the least from the impending rampant devaluation of the US Dollar.
#Pinks #ProudBlue If you live in GA., you better make sure you’re still registered to vote. Hundreds of thousands have been taken off the voter rolls, especially young black people. GOTV. ✊💙 georgiarecorder.com/briefs/georg...
Jasmine Crockett is the future of the Democratic Party. Amen!
I'm sorry, @georgetakei.bsky.social. On behalf of our country that I really want to love. We've let you down. We've let me down. We've let the world down. But we've let you down a LOT.
I got to have the "college experience" (lived on campus for 2 years, off for 2). Also a minor in Spanish that has served me immensely well as a NJ resident since graduation. And I graduated with a very reasonable amount of debt and a degree that potential employers took seriously. 0 regrets. 2/2
Sure! Bottom line: I got a top-notch education in business admin/finance that made financial sense and graduated with very little debt. My classes were small & personal, my professors excellent, & I wasn't the "weird kid" or looked down upon for having a part-time job while attending full-time. 1/2
The broken clock got it right again. @crockett.house.gov is a brilliant shining star and infinitely more capable, competent, and qualified to lead a party (or country) than the demented, felonious, orange clown.
Best news I've heard in a while. @crockett.house.gov for President.

“I was skeptical about a Stewart candidacy, but maybe ‘The Daily Show’ host is the right person to shake up the Democratic presidential primaries.” Me for Zeteo on the debate over Jon Stewart and 2028:
NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an “out” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...
I feel this should be a bigger story, right?
@wkamaubell.bsky.social wrote this great piece about how @marcmaron.bsky.social is in his peak Maron era right now. Panicked is an hour and twelve minutes of relief. Watch it ASAP if you have HBO! Also buy Kamau's shirt on Mahogany Mommies. open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...
Couldn't agree more. Dr. Sullivan's writings helped me decide to leave a career in banking to be a full time strength coach for those very reasons. Just wanted to clarify that his coaching practice isn't political and he's one of the good guys. A guy Mr. Rogers would have called "a helper."
I know (and am a colleague of) Dr. Jonathon Sullivan. I ended my affiliation with the Starting Strength organization over matters related to politics. Dr. Sully remains affiliated with Starting Strength, but not the founder's politics. He's a brilliant man doing great work for the right reasons.
The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.
Even if Beyoncé HAD made that dad joke-level pun, it would have hit so much differently. Because of context, history, and facts. Things the right hates and always works to obfuscate.
I wrote something about how the best we can all do right now is to buy time for democracy to heal through the political process. It's my thoughts about litigation, redistricting and the larger fight. It will be sent to premium members around 2:30. Support DD by becoming one today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Petty little bitch is the phrase that comes to my mind.
Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison

Except don't sign up for free. Sign up for premium. You get all the free stuff, but on top of that, you get the perpetual right to brag that you contributed towards the legal expenses for just about any semblance of democracy we get to keep in the end.
Stop being such a weak leader. Endorse Mamdani. File articles of impeachment every day. FIGHT, man. Send Pelosi & Chuck to Boca or whatever and actually get to work for us, dude.
RIP Chuck Mangione, who was my mentor and biggest champion when I was young saxophonist just trying to get better. He came through my town and performed with me, suggested applying to Interlochen Arts Academy (which become my alma mater), and was so supportive. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/a...
I even remember T-Pain's effusive reaction to Ozzy tweeting that. It was an awesome and pure interaction. And for the record, T-Pain DID do the best cover of War Pigs. The live one. SO good.

I'm sure that was probably in the works prior to your excellent YouTube special that we just watched, but I'll say that if there were any questions about whether you deserved a host spot, that erased them and then some.
Impeach his ass every day. He does impeachable shit every day.
@bencollins.bsky.social Nobody expected to see him there.
I'm IN this article! With @thecollegeatelier.bsky.social. So frickin' cool (just like @wkamaubell.bsky.social).

Not consider. Subscribe. It costs nothing and Michael Fanone's a hero (and for actions far above and beyond calling Josh Hawley a bitch).
That's at least one step in the right direction by Leader Jeffries.
Hi. Could I ask you to share your thoughts with these two companies? You might have to leave a message, I hear their phone systems are crashing…
BREAKING: Trump admin is releasing three-time felon Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes and sparing him from deportation in exchange for "testifying" against Kilmar Abrego García. 🤔 Trump is trying to keep this plan quiet. You know what to do.
Lander's a hero and Mamdani's the future.
Jake Tapper is a bitch. Pass it on.
Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.
Jake Tapper is a bitch

Flawfless post right there
Tagging @jimobergefell.bsky.social in case he didn't see this.
For the first time in a long time, I have real hope that a new movement and a younger generation can get us out of the mess we're in. It won't be quick and it won't be easy, but the victory is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
Tried to take a pic of a Fox News chyron tonight that was pretty over-the-top, but I was too slow on the draw to get a pic before they changed it. Something like "NYC's DISASTER CANDIDATE."
It's not even safe for us here.
The democratic establishment needs to start mentoring the new generation and work out the arrangements for their move to Boca. Zohran Mamdani and AOC and Jasmine Crockett and Malcolm Kenyatta and Maxwell Frost and Pete B are the future. "Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand."
Want to run for office? We'll help you. runforwhat.net
Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.
They'll spend many tens of millions of dollars to find a way to still insist that their preconceived notions from 60 years ago can't be incorrect.
The overseas betting odds have @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at a 74% probability to win the mayoral race right now. So Yglesias is either super wrong or knows better than the bookies and can make a fortune.
@levarburton.bsky.social - we love and appreciate and thank you.
Your courage mattered. A lot. I hate what you went through and I thank you.
Same. And I live in New Jersey.
He CAN pardon him. But only for his federal convictions, not his state convictions. So he probably won't because he'd definitely be dead by the time Chauvin walked free anyway and the optics of Chauvin walking free wouldn't catalyze the neo-nazi response he'd like to cause.
The 4D chess move of calling out smarter, better people by name when your approval rating is in the 30's (and your agenda is also out of the 30's and from Germany)...
Glad you soft-endorsed Cuomo? I'm basically only still a subscriber for the puzzle games and @jamellebouie.net
"Free to Be, You and Me", LeVar Burton, Jim Henson, and Fred Rogers been telling me that from the day I was born. Shouldn't be news. Yet it is.
Yeah me too, but what kind of thoughts and which type of prayers? 😜
Sliwa and Adams. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has 74 or 75% odds of winning on overseas betting apps. Adams around 20-21%, Cuomo almost certainly won't mount an independent run after tonight's results and Sliwa's odds are low single digits. Things happen but those are great numbers.
On this date, the long moral arc of the universe bent a few degrees in the right direction. Thank you, New York.
Tonight I officially declare that AOC is the candidate the democratic party needs to nominate in 2028. Pritz, Pete, or Shapiro maybe for VP. But it should be AOC at the top of the ticket. The electorate is hungry for an actual progressive candidate and real change. Also fuck Cuomo. Zero sympathy.
Maybe now the DNC and donor-class dems will understand that AOC's our best chance to win back the White House in '28. Probably not, but they damn well should.
I probably said it 1,000 times and I have no idea how many followers I have but it's probably like 1,000, so I basically said it a million times.
More than makes up for the Knicks losing. 💜💜💜 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. More of this, please.
A glimmer of hope from the depths of the abyss.
They won't. But only because they're stubborn and unteachable, because the lesson is obvious.
Despite my pitifully small sphere of influence, my endorsements repeatedly seem to carry a lot of weight lately. Either that or a hell of a lot of people are out here pining for change im similar ways. Wake up, DNC.
or maybe the DNC and faux-liberal donor class elite finally recognize that they've been pursuing the wrong strategy and backing the wrong centrist horses all along and finally mount an opposition to all the chaos. But probably not.
If you game out who voters likely picked for their number 2 (seems almost certain Mamdani won't break 50% in the first round) and consider that Lander (of the ZM cross-endorsement) has 11.5% of votes with 77% counted in round 1, it's not hard to see why.
One never need apologize for wearing a Reading Rainbow t-shirt.
Your workplace may simply not be full of overt sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, and transphobic white men who lament the fact that there are consequences for saying vile shit. In fact, from what I perceive about your workplace, it's pretty certainly not full of those people.
Who is that swaying in Cuomo's favor? Seems like it would either have zero effect or help Mamdani.
I'm bad at taking selfies and also a little bit ashamed that we still get the @nytimes.com because they suck nowadays, but this is a keeper.
Because our military and their families and even fanboi contingent represent a non-negligible voting bloc. Not saying I agree with it, just doing my level best to answer the specific question proffered.
Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia, and it was Hunter Biden's laptop's fault.
billionaires is why, derek
All dems - be more like Brad Landers All NYC people - don't rank Cuomo. Mamdani, Landers, Adams (not that Adams. The lady one), and there's like 2 other perfectly good ones. You don't have to even rank 5 but there are 5 good options. Just don't rank Cuomo. Not even 5th. Don't rank him!
The good guys are, Julianne. The good guys.
ICE Agents are a state secret police force. The people whose lives they seem to take so much joy in ruining are actual people, and their families love them. I cordially invite all masked, armed goons to quit their evil jobs and leave our friends and neighbors the fuck alone.
Call to Activism - Joe Gallina OMG. Jimmy Kimmel last night was epic. Donald Trump would LOSE it if you shared this.
I did actively oppose it. Grounds for the invasion were specious but that fact was underplayed by the media. Crowd sizes of anti-war demonstrations were also underplayed by the media. Cops (NYPD specifically in my case) used horses to brutalize protesters. Lots of parallels to things going on today.
Both the White House and RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad. It must have struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!
Call your Representatives and Senators. Tell them to assert their Art. 1, Section 8 constitutional power. No war with Iran. 202-225-3121
We all did
Agreed!
