I was lucky to see @sanders.senate.gov speak in #TheBronx in 2016! He was fighting for us then as he is now!

Superb. (And FUN!)

FloriDUH strikes again!
And, of course, there was no other place to sit down.
Best sentence: "pro tip: innocent people don’t work this hard to block the release of files that supposedly prove their innocence. there is no doubt that Donny’s name has to be all over that shit."
That doesn’t mean a Democrat can easily win. This is still a red state and she’s probably taking one for the team after realizing her recent mistakes cost her dearly.
“While Trump seeds the ground for an American dictatorship, these two top Dems pine for bipartisanship.”
“While younger #Democrats like #Mamdani and #AOC offer #energy and #charisma, these two lackluster leaders in the House and Senate offer cringe chants and even cringier photo ops.”
There are plenty of reasons to not vote Cuomo. This is definitely in the top five. #VoteForZohran #VoteMamdani #NoCuomo

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
That doesn't necessarily open a door to a democrat. The voters in her state may still go red.

Exquisite.
One million congratulations!
That story is a metaphor for the times we are living through.

What a metaphor for the times we are living through.
Well noted.
My latest blog is a reflection on #LaborDay with a look at the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing, #Reagan. #History #LearningFromHistory theartistworks.wordpress.com/2025/09/01/l...
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.

So cute!
Someone check his browser history and see if he has Grindr on his phone.
She’s almost asking for another South Park parody.

“Donny’s been virtually missing in action for days. he’s been avoiding the press — he hasn’t spoken with them since his cabinet meeting last Tuesday. that’s really bizarre behavior from the attention hog who generally can’t go a single day without gibbering like a loon to a roomful of reporters.”
Best sentences: “wouldn’t it be awesome if the press paid that much attention to current President Cankles McRottinghand’s obvious physical and cognitive decline?”
What a metaphor for the times we are living through.

You can mash them, add cream and a bit of vanilla, mix, then freeze and you’ll have a nice ice cream.
Ha! She IS perfect! ❤️
Perfection.
That is amazing. I must explore this further.

I’ll wait for the paperback edition.
More notes on #Tariff stupidity.
Wow!
Professor Xavier meets The Borg! Excellent!
Amen.
This is concurrently trolling and fostering media literacy. Brilliant.
@mta.info I just wanted to again “laud” the ridiculousness of the #QueensBusRedesign. My bus now goes down some very narrow streets, which it didn’t previously do. The old route had it on wider streets that allowed it easily maneuver around double parked cars.
"That #MiddleClass has so eroded in size and in purchasing power — and the wealth of our top earners has so exploded — that America’s most important market today is its affluent." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...
So “helpful!”
Why doesn't Fox "news" just pack it up and broadcast from Orlando, FloriDUH?
Amen.
"Some #Katrina rebuilding programs were little more than corporate bailouts. The state directed $200 million in federal aid to Entergy, the main provider of electricity in New Orleans, without requiring it to rebuild its grid to withstand future storms." #Katrina20 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/o...
Best sentence: "like everything else that goes on in government these days, it’s fucking embarrassing."

Wouldn’t it be amazing if after all the gerrymandering and cheating, more of this continued to happen.
@mta.info Thanks again for the absolutely horrific #QueensBusRedesign. My bus now has to go down narrow streets that are easily blocked by double parked cars and also has to make more turns, often at very populated corners with pedestrians that was previously not a problem.
Wow!

That posting you see on social media silently conveying that it is time to stop looking at social media for the day.
