The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

Journalists in the major News outlets have become propagandists for their masters.

What's wrong with the education of Americans that they don't recognize the differences in States and well as the differences of people within those states? History has proved it is possible to be different and still be AMERICAN.

They are all jealous of Russian oligarchs until they meet an open window on a high level floor.

What happened to the "aristocracy" in France? This person should dwell on that. Americans are much better informed that 18th Century Frenchmen and a push back against his notion that he can "rule better" will come quickly.

Over half of the corporations bankrolling Trump’s vanity ballroom are facing (or recently faced) federal investigations into wrongdoing — including violating workers’ rights or misleading consumers.

They also have a combined $279 BILLION in federal contracts.

Follow the money.

Your mother? No one asked about Trump demanding TX add 5 seats? and why did TX insist on legislatures making, maps not voters?

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 1d

U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …

"It has really become a prison."

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 1d

DOJ's Jana Brady steps up next but says she'll largely "rest on our brief that we filed."

She wants any TRO to not "interfere with the executive branch."

Looking at this video made me ask "ask they for real"? Their actions are so "kids at play". The sad thing is that they are so proud!

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

The Mamdani's Administration better get a bunch of good lawyers to be ready to file suit against the Federal Government and the Trump administration. NYC never voted for Trump and Trump is going to try and make them pay for that.
