The graphic fidelity is really impressive especially for the entire presentation being on a base PS5, but I can’t help feel like this is a step backwards (though I get they’re doing different things) in sophistication and ambition from RDR2

Congratulations @melatkirosco.bsky.social on her amazing win! My personal connection to her is that we were in an IG group chat together for new socialist candidates supporting each other & in Oct were in a scrappy video we made (also with @chrisrabb.com) about disability rights for Gazans

Thank you to all who came to Neurodivergent Socialists’ fundraiser for @yuhline.bsky.social, including @cynthianixon.bsky.social and @jumaane.bsky.social. We’re fighting for Yuh-Line because she’s from our community and someone we can trust to give in to neither fascism nor complacency.

Thanks @petersterne.com for covering Neurodivergent Socialists’ event for @yuhline.bsky.social, and thank you to all who came!
Title is “Niou's superpower” written by Peter Sterne. Story reads: Former Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou was the first openly autistic state lawmaker in the country, and a new group called "Neurodivergent Socialists" held a fundraiser last weekend to support her state senate campaign. The low-key fundraiser was hosted by former Assembly candidate and Neurodivergent Socialists cofounder Josh Arnon. Famous socialist Cynthia Nixon was in attendance, and Jumaane Williams - who has Tourette's syndrome - sent in a video praising the new group and Niou.Story continues: Nixon told the small crowd that Niou's autism was a "superpower" that made her much less likely than other politicians to prevaricate and mislead. And Niou recounted an anecdote from her time in the Assembly when another lawmaker called her to discuss her position on a controversial issue. At one point, she said, the exasperated lawmaker told her to "¡ust read between the lines." "I can't do that," she responded. "I'm autistic!"

Never thought I would have Anthony Weiner accusing me of criminal activity because I contributed our raw dollars raised to aligned candidates’ campaigns (we checked with the BOE), but here we are. Anyway, vote for the DSA slate, @yuhline.bsky.social, @votejgr.bsky.social, & @bradlander.bsky.social!

On May Day, I was arrested with @chuckforqueens.bsky.social by the NYPD Strategic Response Group for participating in a demonstration with @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social outside the NY Stock Exchange. We called billionaires clowns and demanded they give their fair share instead of killing our planet.

With PACs spending $450,000 on Carl Wilson and $25,000 on Lindsey Boylan, this was very likely the most expensive Special Election in NYC history. In order to have democratic elections, we must eliminate Super PAC spending, especially at the local level.
Screenshot that reads: “Mr. Wilson also received the support of deep-pocketed outside groups headed by influential Democrats, including Greg Goldner, an ally of former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo who managed Mr. Cuomo's mayoral campaign against Mr. Mamdani. According to the New York City Campaign Finance Board, outside groups spent more than $450,000 to support Mr. Wilson's candidacy. Ms. Boylan received just $25,000 in outside funding, from a single group, a Working Families Party political action committee.”

The recent attack ad that reads, “we can't afford to let our community be represented by a socialist” targeting @lindseyboylan.bsky.social indicates panic and desperation. Voters largely love our socialist mayor, so this redbaiting ad shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the district.

While I personally oppose both buffer bills, I am pleased that Mayor Mamdani will veto the one without a veto-proof majority. Severely restricting protests outside “any place where educational programming takes place” would have been disastrous, especially in times of rising fascism.

I am tired of Democratic Congress Members deflecting responsibility on foreign policy. I thought resisting Trump meant restoring separation of powers and you folks were the ones who vote on declarations of war and authorizations of military aid? Voters are not stupid. What are we doing?

Loved being a part of @jfrejnyc.bsky.social’s Membership Assembly. Hot off the heels of electing a progressive (socialist!) mayor, we contemplated how to face the challenges of 2026. We must fight ICE and authoritarianism with joy, community building, and liberation for all.
