I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get
whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

I don't know how bsky works but trying to drag this over to @jamellebouie.net's attention too as his comment was good.
As I think more another takeaway is Ryan tried to stay quite in hopes he could appease and make DoJ go away. That failed. Lesson seems to be fight in public, be transparent. Harvard's public responses also seem to align with this lesson?

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

So we have our own Madres de Plaza de Mayo now? Respect to these brave women but this timeline sucks.
🔥 Yesterday, a group called "14 Suburban Moms" do a civil disobedience protest by crossing the barricade at Broadview and sitting in a circle. ✊🏼

Watch as they get arrested one by one while protestors shout "Mother Power" and blow whistles the way it's done to warn that someone is being detained‼️

The Ctr for Urban Research at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social (led by @jomoko.bsky.social) has prepared an online map for tonight's NYC mayoral results. Link below in #thread. For now the map is blank, but it'll fill in w/unofficial returns tonight.

The map will do more than show the 2025 #s.

Incredibly difficult to square this with your disappointing decision to lay off your politics staff. I'm a college professor and sent my students several of @leximcmenamin.com's and others' pieces this winter and spring to provide smart, accessible context on Trump administration policies.

This is depressing news from an outlet that really stepped up in the face of Trumpism.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
