President and CEO of People For the American Way. Youngest Mayor in New York History. Longest serving Mayor in Ithaca's History. But somehow, posts mostly about sports.
"Today, we are being led by unfit rulers who are corruptly abusing their power to make us less free. There is no greater act of genuine patriotism than to resist them." From @peoplefor.bsky.social president @svantemyrick.bsky.social reflection on the 4th of July www.peoplefor.org/declaration-...

Flag: @peoplefor.bsky.social president @svantemyrick.bsky.social calls for "an 18-year term limit on Supreme Court justices, an enforceable code of ethics for Supreme Court justices and an expansion of the size of the Supreme Court under the next pro-democracy president." thehill.com/opinion/5953...
Three changes that could restore the Supreme Court’s independence
The goal is to restore balance and accountability to a Supreme Court whose right-wing majority is squandering its legitimacy to advance a harmful political agenda.

We can't trust AG nominee Todd Blanche on accountability for ICE killings -- or anything else, writes @peoplefor.bsky.social prez @svantemyrick.bsky.social Americans "do not deserve an attorney general who acts like a corrupt president’s personal fixer and enforcer." thehill.com/opinion/crim...
There’s no reason to trust Blanche on ICE killings — or anything else
We do not deserve an attorney general who acts like a corrupt president’s personal fixer and enforcer.

Hey that's my name! Speaking tonight at the legendary Powell's Books in Portland. Come join us at 7pm to discuss the Art of Saving Democracy.
Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US
If you earned $1 every second it would take you: 12 days to earn one million dollars. 32 years to earn one billion dollars. 32,000 years to earn one trillion dollars.
MAGA troll Brenden Dilley attacks Sen. Tim Scott for being outraged by the racist clip posted on Trump's account: "Your people went through a thing and we're all supposed to give a shit": "People did something and it was terrible 400 fucking years ago. Jesus, no one cares."
It’s so bad even Tim Scott isn’t afraid to criticize it.
We're not sure that parents who worry about Bad Bunny corrupting their children will be happy with TPUSA turning their kids on to Kid Rock. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...
It’s time for GOP leaders to stop lying to themselves and the American people about the nature of the regime’s mass-deportation project and the culture of lawlessness, sadistic cruelty and unaccountability among those carrying it out. @svantemyrick.bsky.social thehill.com/opinion/immi...

"Every man is a king so long as he has someone to look down on."
'Turn in your neighbors, and life will be better for you.' Logic circa 1930s Germany, now DHS policy.
A church wasn't attacked. Protesters chanted during a service. Don Lemon covered the protest. This isn't an arrest. It is a kidnapping. This government wants to punish anyone who dares *witness* their actions.
Masked gunmen shot a nurse to death in Minnesota today. And we paid them to do it.
King appealed to Americans of all races, colors and faiths. He grounded the civil rights coalition in broadly shared values and in nonviolent resistance - demonstrating that nonviolence is not passivity, but a principled approach to resisting immoral abuses of power. thehill.com/opinion/civi...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
During a Roman General's victory parade someone would stand behind the victor whispering "Remember you must die" (Memento mori) to keep him humble and temper his hubris. This ensured he recognized his mortality amidst immense glory. Here is Josh Hart doing...something similar.
What is Josh Hart doing? 🤣 #NBA
Jalen Brunson is a patriot and a true American! Go Knicks!
The NBA CUP is important and I've always said so! #Knicks
I, too, would encourage all members of the US Military to disobey illegal orders.

We wrote a book! And added stickers. And then added posters. And conversation starters. And @obeygiant.bsky.social and Jamie Lee Curtis and Carrie Mae Weems and Roy Lichtenstein and 2 dozen of the other greatest American artists. Who wants an action kit?
Repeat it out loud. Remind yourself that it's true: "It is not illegal to criticize the President of the USA." "It is not illegal to accuse the President of crimes." "It is not illegal to work against the political agenda of the President." These are true as long as we remember they are true.
This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..
It's been 20 years since John Roberts became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. As @svantemyrick.bsky.social notes, it's not a happy anniversary. @peoplefor.bsky.social thehill.com/opinion/judi...
"ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks...
We fought for Kimmel's return because censorship is UnAmerican. And we also knew that Norman Lear loved this man and believed in him. Norman would have his back all the way. nypost.com/2025/09/23/e...
