Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”

Imagine how different everything would be had the U.S. enthusiastically embraced renewable energy back when Carter put solar panels on the White House or when James Hansen first testified about climate change before Congress in 1988. For one thing, over 150 Iranian schoolgirls would still be alive.

WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “This war polls at 19% among independents… best case scenario is MAYBE there will be new leadership, but we don’t know who it is. That’s crazy. It’s like we’ll bomb them 4 more weeks and hope something good happens. Good luck.”

To understand Donald Trump you have to understand the dynamics of domestic violence. Abuse with abandon and take no responsibility for anything. Lie and gaslight and never admit you’re wrong. Demand loyalty and lash out when your power is questioned. Punish and blame. Power and control. Trump.

The story is not that there are two conflicting versions of what happened. The story is that the federal government is lying about what happened. There is plenty of evidence. Your job, our job, is to sift that evidence and describe what actually happened ffs.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:
I watched it, that actually makes it much worse. He never should have been in front of the SUV. We are trained do not get in front of a vehicle like that, there’s only bad outcomes.  Also, his video clearly shows she was not surreptitiously reaching for any objects within the vehicles drivers compartment, so the only defense for the agent would be that she was trying to run him over, which clearly isn’t the case, as emphasized by the fact that his legs were out of the way. The video also shows the SUV was moving so slowly that even in icy conditions he should’ve just moved out of the way. In the department of justice we are prohibited from using deadly force purely to prevent escape. Bad shoot all around

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
