Scott gets it!

If you’ve ever worried whether art matters. It does.
My grandfather was a Bluethodist minister but I might be more Bluenitarian than anything else.
For real, if everything that's going on in 2025 is getting you down (and how can it not!), I HIGHLY recommend getting out of the house if possible and doing things with progressive groups in your area.
fun day ❤️💪
oh they are not getting rid of him anytime soon
Hilarious shot of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on the @nywfp.bsky.social float at the West Indian Day Parade. Dude had a good time!
trying out vertical tabs on Firefox and i... think... i may actually like it...?
Also a pretty fair guess that someone who talks about "the West" and any threats to it is a big racist.
And honestly you should follow @workingfamilies.org everywhere. People I met through WFP in Southern California helped me fight back on behalf of trans and NB kids being bullied at my kids’ school. WFP pulls in the best of us. Get involved.
The @nywfp.bsky.social helped put together the #RankTheSlate initiative that got @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @bradlander.bsky.social and all the other non-trash D mayoral candidates working TOGETHER in the primary to kick Cuomo to the curb. They know what they're doing and you should follow 'em!
The @nywfp.bsky.social organized this float for the West Indian Day parade. They organized the Fort Greene rally back in May where I first met @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. They organized poll visibility shifts that helped Mamdani and @shahanafrombk.bsky.social win their primaries.
lololol
Sure, I was RAISED Blueskyist, but these days I'm lucky if I log on for the High Bluidays
Seriously, if you're in NYC and still believe even a little in electoral politics, please follow the @nywfp.bsky.social NOW. They do great work supporting progressive politicians and causes. Great group to get info from and volunteer for!
❤️
You should talk more about the things you love. Especially online.
journalists are being threatened and jailed. media outlets are paying settlements to THE PRESIDENT. but gosh golly gee, is democracy under threat? who can really say!
if your answer isn’t an unequivocal “yes” then you’re a shit journalist
If you’re not calling things what they are in 2025, you’re done.
Jadzia’s is another must-sub imo!!
Ben Smith is apparently a clown who says nothing by design in this quote. Shameful bullshit.
just gotta say that the US would be vastly better off with starry-eyed bleeding-heart leftists in charge of the government
Moments like this keep reminding me of how one of the panelists in @levin.bsky.social’s netroots session about how Zohran won the primary / internet said "he really is the people's princess” because everyone’s always so excited to see him
it was a Whole Thing
Dick Durbin and Jerry Nadler, both longtime hardcore liberal zionists, are opposing arms for Israel as they retire. it feels like a big shift.
buttondown.com/charliejane/... I abandoned Substack a few years ago. Alas, images have disappeared from all my old newsletters, but this was the top image on my "I'm leaving Substack" post (The subhed was "He went to Chicken Cacciatore's down on Sesame Street, La la la la")
ditto ditto and ditto
Mostly reposting but will quote post to say that Charlie Jane’s newsletter is a must-sub!!!
You should all be following @hypervisible.blacksky.app .
To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

Folks love the guy, and he genuinely seems to love us back.
Did I mention the vibes at the @nywfp.bsky.social float were incredible? Because the vibes at the @nywfp.bsky.social float were incredible.
Public advocate @jumaane.bsky.social pumping up the crowd at the West Indian Day parade in Brooklyn. He was going 100% the entire parade, ha ha!
The vibes were so good. Look, I don't like over-valorizing politicians. But come on. This dude is adorable.
Your pal @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn. Genuinely hard to take a bad picture of this dude. That's the @nywfp.bsky.social float behind him - follow them and let's make this man mayor and get him the progressive caucus he needs to get things done, NYC!
it's probably just out of frame lol
Wow. WOW. Lot of opportunities and challenges here for NYC progressives. Replace Nadler. Primary Goldman and Jeffries. Kick out Malliotakis. Gonna be a big season!
this is beautiful
Apparently, the scene got upgraded. www.reddit.com/r/dragoncon/...
okay these dudes weren't there for the @nywfp.bsky.social but look at them LOOK AT THEM
What I'm saying is please feel free to volunteer for @nywfp.bsky.social and vote for all the NY progressives and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, friends. ❤️

He so clearly loves people and wants them to have nice lives. That’s so damn endearing. He could be bald and chubby and the vibes would still be immaculate. It’s not the physical look that makes him look great, it’s the embodied self.
You can’t fake this, Zohran loves the city and loves the people of the city
I just realized how much I rarely see politicians (American or Canadian) actually enjoying themselves when engaging with their communities.

Eastern Parkway always feels like the heartbeat of New York during the West Indian Day Parade — the food, the flags, the dancehall and soca. Caribbean culture makes this city great 🇹🇹🇭🇹🇧🇧🇩🇲🇱🇨🇯🇲🇻🇨🇬🇩🇬🇾

important thread

Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
So there’s a thing I’ve noticed repeatedly from people who are still on X, The Everything App - they’re constantly making weird accusations about Bluesky that don’t make any sense if you’re on here, and I think it’s a sign they’re deeply insecure about posting to X, The Everything App.
Can’t be bothered to look up his post saying Eric Adams would be the Dem party’s next presidential nominee but imagine it here.
this is actually how very very sexy men dance thank you for representing us Zohran
He dad-dances, he's just like me fr
Hilarious shot of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on the @nywfp.bsky.social float at the West Indian Day Parade. Dude had a good time!
I look forward to watching him dance next year at the Puerto Rican day parade
I don't live in NY, but from afar, it's just nice to see a regular, normal person who has normal human being interactions decide to go into politics
I can’t wait til he wins
