I liked a lot of what Fulop had to say during the NJ gov primary but he's really not helping the abundance people beat the corporate shill charges
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterdayNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
This is… two approaches?
The Athletic@theathletic.com · 15h agoAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in. Three different approaches, one common result: criticism. Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media: nyti.ms/3Sa9A7D
THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵
Julio is the kind of person we need in politics. Dedicated, generous with his time and energy, focused on helping people, and perhaps most importantly for this role, he's patient and welcoming with newcomers who want to get involved. Excited to see what a party that reflects his leadership can do.
New Kings Democrats@newkingsdems.bsky.social · 3w agoBrooklyn is going to have a new Democratic Party. The Brooklyn Can’t Wait coalition of 22 incoming District Leaders have voted to nominate and elect District Leader @juliopenabk.com as Brooklyn Democratic Party Chair this coming September. 1/x
"I have no intention of complying. No intention at all.” Heroic. I hope the rest of her KU coworkers make it clear the scumbag who reported her is the one who is unwelcome.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Joan Sebastian Salguero, the 26-year-old husband & father killed by ICE today in Maine, was at least the 9th person killed by federal immigration agents, and at least the 22nd person shot, during the lawless regime of Donald Trump.
Brad Lander@bradlander.bsky.social · 4w agoLorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three who built houses in Houston, started his own business, and raised his family here for 35 years. His son became a teacher. ICE agents killed him in cold blood. 🧵
The videos from different immigrant communities across the country celebrating their World Cup teams is just the perfect summation of what's actually worth celebrating about 250 years of the USA. I love this so much. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

At block parties, backyards and beer halls, an expanded tournament gave immigrant diasporas large and small the chance to revel in support of their home countries.

Went to the soccer yesterday and Olise and Mbappe playfully running circles around everyone else is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Can't see how anyone is beating France.

Last night, Brooklyn Democratic voters sent a message. 22 Brooklyn Can’t Wait candidates won their seats — making up a majority of District Leaders in Brooklyn. 1/🧵
I want to give a special shoutout to our leader for this campaign cycle: The wonderful, kind, hardworking, humble, and all-around brilliant @tonymelone.bsky.social. Brooklyn, please give him his flowers! We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for this victory.
I'm INCREDIBLY PROUD of my fellow @repyourblock.bsky.social and Brooklyn Can't Wait organizers! They've worked so, so hard — with the odds stacked very highly against us — to defeat the corrupt Brooklyn Dems machine. And it looks like our work is paying off! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 Y'all are the real heroes.
Michael Caley@michaelcaley.bsky.social · last mo.Brooklyn Can't Wait candidates are now uncontested or leading in 22 seats, out of 42 that is a majority, enough to elect a new chair I think we did it

The machine that lined up behind Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo is still running the Brooklyn Democratic Party. Tomorrow, that can change. But we need help winning these nine key races in districts across Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Democrats deserve so much more from their leadership than the petty corruption of Frank Seddio. Vote Stanley Scutt for Democratic State Committee in Assembly District 59!

That would have been Turek's opponent who lost decisively despite polls suggesting he would be equally or more competitive against Hinson. No easy way to change that but one thing would be for NY Dems to throw out party leaders who help put big money on the side of cowardice nationally
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 2mo agoI would love for one (1) Democratic candidate to respond to this kind of bullshit by saying "My opponent is a panty-sniffing creep who wants to inspect your children's genitals."
the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Good for Scott Pelley. These people need to be humiliated personally because they have no humiliation about what they’re doing professionally
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2mo agoOliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday.

“The investigators soon discovered a potential cause for the unit-wide dereliction of duty: Sgt. Edmond Williams was locked out of his agency computer for 10 weeks leading up to Lin’s arrest. This whole story is some real Super Troopers shit, but without the cheeky pranks in rural Vermont.
Streetsblog NYC@nyc.streetsblog.org · 3mo agoTroopers in a rogue NY State Police unit based in the city routinely blew off their supposed duties of patrolling MTA bridges and tunnels to listen to music, sleep with their girlfriends and, in one case, drive to a strip club in New Jersey, get drunk and get arrested for assault.
