mamdani's social media: NYC, today is a monumental day. I've slain Gorlax the Spurious, the beast who lived in the sewers and ate children and small dogs. every conservative thinkpiece article: Slaying Gorlax the Spurious might *sound* appealing, but what if you don't have children or small dogs?

ICE increased its presence in Inwood this week and even attacked a bystander with pepper spray. The uptown NYC community turned out for a rally this morning to share resources and emphasize that we won't tolerate ICE thugs.

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?

Remarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.

Over the past month, New York has welcomed the world. From neighborhood watch parties to the stadium, we’ve celebrated the communities that make our city the global capital of the beautiful game. Today, we close out a historic World Cup, proud of how New Yorkers showed up every step of the way.

Good Trouble today in Albany, NY as we take part in the DeICE Citizens Bank National Day of action. And yes we have secured a victory. Citizens has said they will no longer finance Core Civics and the CEO’s group detention centers. And yes we will keep after them to divest entirely.

Daytripped to Fire Island for the first time and visited the beautiful Sunken Forest. The Fire Island Seashore is a national parks site, so that's another stamp in the ol' parks passport.

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

Ten years ago today, Philando Castile was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop. A decade later, we remember Philando not just for how he died, but for how he lived and the countless students he served every day.

‘Nobody was supposed to know what his name was’: Philando Castile’s legacy grows a decade after his death

A decade after he was killed by a St. Anthony police officer, the legacy of Philando Castile looms large in how people view policing in the Twin Cities.

Drimonis: Call it what it is — misogynistic terrorism

While debate rages about the C.D.N. shooter's motivation, the obvious stares us in the face: The central thread of his manifesto is misogyny.

AOC: These are two young, talented, intelligent women who got elected against all odds, against millions of dollars. Perhaps there is something we can learn from them.

It’s rare for a judge to acknowledge that they are handing down a prison sentence for political reasons. But that is precisely what has happened. The government is “trying to set the stage to criminalize every person who doesn’t agree to their atrocities.” trib.al/ZuiX0vT

Me with Mayor Zohran and the woman we both hope you'll vote for tomorrow if you're in NY's 13th congressional district, Darializa Avila Chevalier. Uptown and the West Bronx, get to the polls between 6am and 9pm on Tuesday, June 23. Let's get a progressive representative to fight for us! Vote.nyc

The amount of racism coming from Espaillat supporters in the NY-13 race has been wild. It's mostly around a rumor campaign where they claim Darializa isn't Dominican, then insist she's Haitian, which they use like a slur. They're doing it directly at polling sites when talking to voters.

More Democrats need to be turning out for the NYC primary right now. People came out in droves for Zohran last year, but he needs SUPPORT from other progressive electeds. We have a ton of great progressives running right now. Get out and vote! Vote.nyc
