I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

So happy to see our electeds like @micahlasher.bsky.social, @sengonzalezny.bsky.social, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social, @virginiamaloney.bsky.social and others support this great institution. Few have been patients at Bellevue Hospital so they know first hand how dedicated everyone is at the hospital.

My 2nd year attending Bellevue Hospital Legislative Breakfast & the CAB including @kevokeefe.bsky.social did a great job organizing it. Bellevue is the oldest hospital in the country & they've always taken care of the most vulnerable in the city. They provide the best care regardless of who you are.

Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was able to get the Columbia studen released from ICE custody after taking to Trump. He knows how to deal with Trump better than anyone. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov would never have been able to do what he did. Dems need to learn from him

You didn't need hindsight to know that "race swapping" was wrong. That's the same as blackface which was considered racist well before cycle 9 of America's Top Model. #RealityCheck documentary really show how horrible Tyra Banks was.

Watching #RealityCheck documentary and WOW! Tyra Banks is an awful person. You don't need hindsight to know that filming and then airing a woman getting raped was wrong!

House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it. While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

I'm going to non-desi friend's place for dinner so told her I don't like lamb or goat. She said ok Whenever I say this to a desi friend, the response is always oh you haven't had my lamb/goat or you haven't had some other random lamb/goat dish. Can't accept that some people just don't like lamb/goat

Ahh the most useless senator @schumer.senate.gov pretending to be upset with Trump and ICE while doing whatever Trump wants and asks him to do. If you really care about democracy, then step down as minority leader and let someone more effective take over as the democratic leader.

The #NY12 congressional forum was very well organized and moderated. @alexbores.nyc and @micahlasher.bsky.social both had great nights. @jackschlossberg.bsky.social was okay. He started off weak but ended better. He lacked specifics to a lot of the questions but was strong on his beliefs. 1/

If Maria Corina Machado thinks that giving Trump her Nobel Peace Prize will mean he'll help her then she's going to be very disappointed. Trump sees this as a weakness, extract more from her & never help her. She gave up her Peace Prize for nothing and in doing so she lost respect of a lot of people

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

This is exactly why the Trump Oligarchs took over CBS News. To spread total and complete lies like these. They want to promote their propaganda under the guise of news.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

As @marklevinenyc.bsky.social said what makes this city so great is that 3 people sworn in yesterday used 3 different religious books. Mark Levine used Chunash, Jumaane D. Williams used a Christian Bible and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social used a Quran. How awesome is that!
