This is Yasir. He’s 21 yo. He fled Sudan after he was kidnapped & tortured by the RSF (he’s Zaghawa, a group that is systematically targeted). Thanks to his legal team from @Door_NYC he walked safely out of his ICE check-in today (unlike way too many others). I consider it the

It was a pleasure speaking with @MotherJones about the primary, how we need collaborative—not divisive—politics, and what comes next. (And that Liberty game offer is still open, Tim Robinson!).

Great fun meeting @mikeduncan of Revolutions Podcast fame. I’m a huge fan!. Who else would be simultaneously celebrating 200th anniv of Lafayette’s tour of the US & the completion of the excellent sci-fi history of the Martian Revolution?! #EveryMartianMatters #HeroOfTwoWorlds

Natasha Cloud knows what it means to be a New Yorker. @T_Cloud4.
After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality. (🎥: @busyxb)

And don’t even start with me on the part where Trump praised his vassal Eric Adams while uttering these vile threats. If he had even a shred of decency left, @NYCMayor would denounce Trump’s authoritarian threats.
"Adams is a very good person. I helped him out a little bit. He had a problem, and he was unfairly hurt over this question," Trump says, calling it a Biden indictment.

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me. Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp that he’s building in a Florida swamp – for thousands of our immigrant neighbors being disappeared from our courts & communities w/o due process. It’s.
My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

Getting to know @ruwaromman was one of the joys of this week!. And credit where it’s due: I adopted “fighters vs. folders” from @GregCasar. Let’s get out there and fight for a city (and country) that everyone can afford, and where everyone belongs.
A lot of people keep talking about a left vs moderate rift in the party, but it’s clear the rift is between who stands up for all versus who throws any of us under the bus for gain. @bradlander said it perfectly, it’s the fighters vs. the folders.
