Happy #PrideMonth!

In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.

Medicare for All is the guarantee of healthcare from cradle to grave—without premiums, copays, or deductibles. That's it. That simple.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.

From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.

To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.

Happy Pride, New York City.

Trump pushed out 7,000+ Social Security staffers, declared living Americans dead, and installed a part-time commissioner to oversee the whole thing.

Now, we have a scourge of “ghost offices” unable to help millions of beneficiaries.

Frank Bisignano needs to resign NOW!

Workers are now taking home the smallest percent of America's economic output since records began in 1947.

At the same time corporate profits are now at the highest point since 1950.

Apparently Harvard is great for their kids but it’s too woke for your kids

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Hasan Piker on Spencer Pratt: “He is clearly a fucking conman in every way, shape, and form. Trust fund baby loses all of his money, bankrupts his businesses, sells crystals, is MAGA, loves Alex Jones, pro-fucking-ICE, pro-Trump. What are we doing?”

USPS is now on the verge of dramatically limiting voting by mail.

The postal service is proposing a rule to limit mail-in voting for the midterms, expanding federal control over voting without congressional approval.

It's a big step in Trump's plan to take over elections.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

After teaming up with Elon Musk to push out 7,000+ dedicated staffers, erroneously declaring living Americans dead, and installing a part-time commissioner, Trump’s next step is to unleash a dystopian military surveillance system inside the Social Security Administration.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

A federal judge just ordered Trump’s name removed from the Kennedy Center because it honors JFK, not Donald Trump.

America deserves a president, not a narcissist-in-chief who treats public office as a vehicle for self-promotion and personal enrichment.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Private equity landlords now own 1 in 8 apartments in the U.S.

Their unfettered greed is making the housing crisis worse than ever — but there's a way for renters to organize and fight back.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani responds to Mullin: Our laws and our values are not bargaining chips. We are proud of the more than 3 million New Yorkers who are immigrants. I'm one of them. It is incumbent upon us to live up to the ideals of the statue of liberty, not just tell people to come and look at it when they visit from across the world.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

😭😭😭 this just gave me the juice for the next 30,000

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This is what courage looks like.

New York has officially passed a new tax on second homes in NYC.

Rich people who own second homes in the city will have to pay higher taxes on these properties, if that second home is worth $1 million or more.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Mamdani: "Government efficiency — these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are Republican priorities, when in fact they're the priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. Any yet, Elon Musk took that language and used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people across the country and across the world. Ours is going to be a focus on actually delivering efficiency. Not as a byword for cutting services, but actually a sincere commitment to efficiency. And we firmly believe not only in closing the last chapter of city government, but in starting the new one. The proposals that COGE will be looking at will be ones that we view as critical to unlocking the full potential of city government.”

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The genocide in Gaza continues, and there is no ceasefire. Netanyahu is openly announcing the military takeover of 70 percent, and ultimately all, of Gaza. Four more children in Gaza were killed by U.S.-funded Israeli bombs yesterday. No more excuses: Arms Embargo now.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

After a lifetime of hard work, EVERYONE deserves a secure and dignified retirement. 

For 90 years, Social Security has delivered earned benefits for seniors and never once missed a check.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Do we really think that excess money to billionaires makes jobs?
