So my book, The Language of Theft, is officially for pre-sale. (It’s not nerve-racking at all.) I’d love for you all to consider pre-ordering it. And if you do, I’d love it if you’d consider pre-ordering it from an indie bookseller. Thank you! bookshop.org/beta-search?...
Lots of us saw A YEAR AGO that Platner never should have run in the first people because you don’t support people with Nazi tattoos. We said that if this is the oppo that’s coming out, wait until he’s the nominee. I’m thankful Maine has another week to find a new nominee.
Hope everyone got to spend quality time with family this holiday weekend. Me and my little brother, Dr. Mondrian Contreras. ✌🏽😅
Rep. Adelita S. Grijalva has already signed the discharge petition. There are now 218 signatures which means it is now LOCKED (or frozen). No one can remove their names.
Searchlight Institute is such a bad idea. Democratic consultants need to learn that you don’t win by throwing people under the bus. You don’t win using Right Wing talking points or pushing Republican policies. That does not win over Independents, and it definitely won’t win over Republican voters.
Richie, you do not need to boost Laura Loomer’s bigoted words and dehumanization tactics. She’s doing that to normalize putting a target on Jasmine’s back. Boost Jasmine’s fundraising, not Loomer’s bigotry. www.jasmineforus.com/home/
This is an appreciation post for @bradlander.bsky.social this week I posted about Mar Garcia, a Broadway dancer here in NYC, who was taken by ICE. I tagged all my representatives and local NYC politicians. Brad Lander saw it immediately. He was just arrested again looking for folks like Mar Garcia.
Apparently, Peter Sook thinks comedian Jimmy Kimmel counts as” Activist journalism.”
A New York City Broadway dancer, Mar Garcia, was taken by ICE yesterday. No one knows where he is. While I have an entertainment lawyer, I do not know an immigration lawyer. If someone can help us with this, I would like to find out where he is and to make sure that he is safe.
“Asked to comment on Mr. Fuentes’s remarks, White House officials declined. Current and former members of the Trump administration as well as outside advisers would not be quoted for the record about Mr. Fuentes out of fear, they said, of inviting online attacks from him and his zealous followers.”
I want Charlie Kirk to survive because I want him to retract this horrific statement. I want him to understand why random gun violence like the kind that he just experienced, is an epidemic, and is a pox on our nation.
From NBC. Notice emotional stability isn’t ranked by Gen Z Trump voters: “A Gen Z poll lists the choices of how they define personal success: Men who backed Trump in 2024 rated having children at the top. Women who backed Kamala Harris rated it second to last.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
This heinous post from JD Vance is real. His morals, values, and ethics are so far past hell they’re underneath it.
Look at the diversity of of Hollywood’s show runners. 🫠 I mean thanks for Severance but dang.
It returns the worker to serfdom; the bourgeois to the tyranny of the overlord.” — Arnold H. Rowbotham, 1939, on how Arthur de Gobineau’s racist racial theory reveals that white supremacy is inextricably bound to aristocratic power and entrenched wealth. Poor whites may not apply.
How do you feel about America? Baldwin: I suppose if I didn't love it I would have lived a very different life…I would have stayed away. But I have a family here. My father paid for it and he's dead, and his fathers before him paid for it, and I have no right to give up something they bought for me
Dude, you’re just being gross. Zohran is not antisemitic, nor am I in voting for him. He’s supported by many Jewish New Yorkers.
Also when is the appropriate time I can start laughing at how much money Michael Bloomberg and FixTheCityNYC set on fire trying to elect Cuomo?
NY1 News already saying it’ll be really difficult for Andrew Cuomo to overcome these numbers 🤭 (*knocks on wood*) #ZohranMamdani
