Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn.

Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge.

It’s been 41 days since Adelita Grijalva won—and Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. 33 days of shutdown, endless excuses. Swear her in NOW. The victims deserve justice. The Epstein files aren’t going anywhere. The cover-up is cracking.

This should not be happening in the USA...the GOP are proving themselves to be vindictive thugs.

@governor.ca.gov steps up and meets the bullies to help his constituents - that's leadership.

With Donald Trump's government shutdown halting SNAP food benefits, California is stepping up.

We've fast-tracked $80 million to food banks across the state and deployed hundreds of California National Guard service members to help make sure Californians in need don't go hungry.

NEW:

A federal judge "anticipates live testimony" at Tuesday's hearing about the enforcement of her order barring excessive force by federal agents in Chicago.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: There will not be remote access for the hearing scheduled for October 28, 2025, pursuant to Judicial Conference policy, because the Court anticipates live testimony.

Well . . . Hmmm? I wouldn't trust Liz Cheney as far as I could spit. But yes, she's infinitely more tolerable than any alt-right MAGA. I could prefer Hakeem Jeffries for this instead. Other then that, this is a plan. Let the trials begin!

Completely insane plan that could remove the current regime…but…what _isn’t_ insane at this point?

Donald Trump promised ‘total respect’ for the White House.

Then he turned the Rose Garden into something that looks like the outdoor seating area for a place you have chicken tenders and fries.

Total respect indeed.

Message from Attorney General Kris Mayes, Arizona
Swear in ADELITA GRIJALVA

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 13d

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

Things I Liked About Joe Biden:

He didn't put tacky bric-a-brac all over the Oval Office.

He didn't kidnap or torture.

He didn't accept bribes.

He didn't murder fishermen.

He didn't shake down the DOJ for $230 million.

He didn't destroy a wing of the White House.

He wasn't in Epstein's Files.

People should absolutely be writing about how ICE's occupation of their cities is transforming life in these places, and they should be publishing it in print on paper - not just social media posts. There needs to be a record of this. Things are changing in measurable ways for the worse every day.

They Say @oracy.bsky.social · 14d

We spent:

$40B for Argentina

$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet

$250M for a new White House ballroom

$150M for Trump's golf outings

$520M for National Guard deployments

$200M for Kristi Noem's jets

But no money to lower our healthcare costs.

US is afraid to say no to Trump.
