@HomeintheUS @NYCMayor Thanks, man

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@f_shady1 @NYCMayor I don’t have an official account. I also don’t use X except when I get a bee in my bonnet and decide to shout at Important People to leave X. You?

@tobihaslett No Stoller on Bluesky, Tobi ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ZephyrTeachout Like, stop posting on X, the CSAM Generator for “Real” Revolutionaries™️?

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@ZephyrTeachout Please Zephyr, stop using X. It’s a major CSAM generator. It doesn’t matter whom you interact with her. Get them to use Bluesky. Read tweets via https://t.co/1OK3xeXOnN. This platform is ACTIVELY DOING HARM.

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@RebeccaKKatz @ZephyrTeachout @ZohranKMamdani Please get off X. It’s a CSAM generator. Please use Bluesky or read tweets on https://t.co/1OK3xeXOnN. This is not a joke. Please stop the madness by exiting this Nazi pedo platform.

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@ZephyrTeachout Why are you on X and not on Bluesky?

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@NathanJRobinson I think Biden genuinely thinks he’s the best candidate to beat Trump.

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@MaxKennerly @brianbeutler Never mind, I get it now. There’s no such thing as illegal usage of executive authority.

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@MaxKennerly @brianbeutler I’m confused how any of this counts as “official acts” . . .

The New York Times reports Israeli military is torturing people by impaling them with hot metal rods in their rectums and tying them to electric chairs. This information is buried at the end of a single article where these details are unmentioned in the headline or subheadline.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

It should have not taken 15,000 children killed, many more mutilated & 20,000 orphaned, to list Israel among the states who commit heinous violations of intl law against children.

Btw 2008-2022, 1,434+ Palestinian children were killed and 32,175+ were injured, mostly by Israeli forces using "excessive force”. In the same period, 25 Israeli children were killed, mostly by Palestinian individuals, and 524 injured.

It did not start on Oct 7.

[Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler]

I agree with NYS Senator @LizKrueger’s op-ed on why @GovKathyHochul can’t legally stop congestion pricing unilaterally less than 30 days before it was due to start. The law is clear: the only way forward for the @MTA and our region is to implement congestion pricing. #CongestionPricingNow

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@RepJerryNadler The MTA Board should just ignore Hochul. https://t.co/I5tuMFbZRf

Fred Guttenberg is a hero, but I had to unfollow him months ago because of his blind allegiance to Israel. Calling for a ceasefire is only controversial to racists and idiots. If this was stunningly obvious and morally necessary in October, I don’t know what to call it now.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

Hey Ceasefire now crowd, speak out about this or STFU!!! Northern Israel is literally burning from terrorist attacks. This is not in the south with Hamas, this is from Hezbollah in the north. All of this mostly funded by Iran. That is who the ceasefire crowd is aligned with.

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@fred_guttenberg Hi Fred - a ceasefire would of course be for both sides.

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@zeynep I assume you’ve read it? I’m curious to hear your thoughts. I’m so confused because I can’t follow the science myself, and people I respect are on both sides of the debate!

[Nikki Columbus @nikkicolumbus]

@zeynep Someone on Bluesky suggested this as argument against lab leak: https://t.co/Y4rXxT8biA.
