- Emily Feiner was forcibly removed from GOP Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall after she asked her so-called "moderate" congressman to stand up to Donald Trump's authoritarian power grab. There's a great pushback happening across the entire country — even in Republican held districts.
- This is an exact quote from Mike Lawler when he was on the The Brian Lehrer Show on @wnyc.org recently: bsky.app/profile/skel...
- “I’m not concerned about authoritarianism” - NY MAGA congressman Mike Lawler on @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social WNYC
- Ignore my extra “the” typo please! 😂
- Jill Sobule, the singer and songwriter whose hit “Supermodel” and gay anthem “I Kissed a Girl” were followed by three decades of touring, advocacy and a one-woman musical, died in a house fire in Minnesota. She was 66.
- This is so sad! Also, can not believe she was 66!! She truly seemed so much younger.

View full threadAnd now they’re having an extended discussion about the Project 2025 natalism without even mentioning its racist roots. Sigh. @dgraham.bsky.social
- I’m guessing Mike Lawler had strict rules set for coming on the show. Keep it quick. No listener comments/questions. So much BS being spewed all at once. So much to push back on. Wish there was more pb. Not enough time in the segment & that was on purpose from team Lawler.

- Adrienne Adams seems like a great choice for NYC mayor and yet we have 2 men winning the popularity contest. An inexperienced extremist with a completely unrealistic agenda and the other known for corruption and sexual misconduct and possible MAGA complicity.
- NY Rep. Laura Gillen only posting to Elon Musk’s Twitter/X. No Bluesky Account or postings. 87% of Representatives have Bluesky account. Please call her office to get this addressed asap. Be inspired by Cory Booker and the millions marching! #BSKY-NY4 #BSKY-Missing-NY

View full threadThanks for the feedback. NY is going slow in general. Hakeem Jeffries has no Butterfly link. Chuck Schumer no Butterfly link. AOC no link. Other NY reps without even an account.
- WOW.
- Republicans hate this
- I say this all the time!
- I mention this to her staffers every time I call. She doesn’t care.

- Sad that your guest @haleaziz.bsky.social who covers immigration policy for the @nytimes.com did not know about Andry Hernandez Romero. Barely any mention of him in the NYT. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...
- Trump says he'd like to deport US citizens to El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get out of the country"

View full threadIt shocks me that I don’t see anything from the AIPAC or statements from Israel. Regardless of Bibi. It’s a horrific shame/stain that will endure.
- Agreed. That’s why I lost it on the admin of my local group 😂
- Most Jews are outraged. The MAGA complicit Jews are a minority.
- It wasn’t a meta thing. Unfortunately it was an admin thing. The guy is a republican. The group is supposed to be for all members of the community but he frequently allowed posts promoting our then republican congressman who thankfully was voted out.
- Meanwhile I wasn’t allowed to post this article in my local Jewish Facebook group in West Hempstead, NY because of a fake “no politics” rule, despite them allowing pro-Republican posts.
- ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt says some Venezuelans with no known gang ties are now in one of the most hardcore prisons in the world and may never see the light of day again. cbsn.ws/3XO21TT
- Horrendous. Thank you @60minutes.bsky.social for this important and intense reporting.

- Florida is broken.
- Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
- He can confess all he wants, but Trump keeps telling us that Elon rigged the election for him.
- I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
- THANK YOU!
- How? The MAGAs are winning.
- The SAVE Act is another bogus attempt by Republicans to suppress the vote — this time, targeting women. It’d make it damn near impossible for millions who changed their name after marriage to vote. This isn’t about integrity. It’s suppression. We’re not letting it slide.
- Do you know how your colleague in #NY04 Rep Laura Gillen will be voting on this? Couldn’t get an answer from her office. Also, why is she on X but not here?
- @wfuv.bsky.social whoever is djing right now is killing it!
- Seriously though, that set of Bob Mould, Sonic Youth, & Stephen Malkmus was what your listeners need and want. Go deeper!
- I think it speaks volumes that they are on X, but not here.
- I’ve said this to my rep Laura Gillen’s staffers. She’s still not on bluesky 🤷♀️
- Put #NY04’s rep Laura Gillen on that list.
- I saw the work by Olga Lautman and he findings were disturbing: Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the signal chat. Russia has infiltrated Signal and used against Ukrainians. Very possible they have the classified signal info:
- They are all Russian agents!
- To be clear, because apparently I’m popping on the Twitter machine I’m still locked out: YES, I think it would be easier for Dems to win elections if everyone who is eligible to vote was also allowed to vote. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, Charlie Kirk. Ask your pal Gavin if I stuttered.

- Oh were you hacked? I’m out of the loop!

- Thanks for pushing back on this Columbia professor with the reality of scary pro terror antisemitism on the campus. His taking offense to “Am Yisrael Chai” speaks volumes.

View full threadGet lost loser Hamas is everything you don’t like, it’s gaslighting and people are sick of it Go f yrself
- You just proved Whitney’s point. Thanks. Brian, this is the kind of unhinged hostility we’re dealing with daily.
- Omg @whitneyformayor.com is atrocious. Who cares about this loser? Man is talking about Hamas using right wing scare tactics, pretending the Dems have been hikacked by the “far left” he is drunk before noon!!!
- He’s actually 100% on point with the extreme lefties and their Hamas support. Democratic Jews of NY have had enough of the daily normalized Jew harassment. Dems will continue to lose elections if their leaders are siding with terror apologists.
- Donald Trump and Elon Musk want a shutdown to destroy vital government services faster. It would be a disaster. And we have to alert everyone how much pain it would cause the American people. From my interview on @allinwithchris.bsky.social:
- I didn’t vote for you to cave in to these destructive fascists. You’re really letting us down Chuck!
- Anyone have a grift article?
- As Marc Elias, an elections lawyer who litigates on behalf of Democrats, told me, “When Donald Trump says that he does not believe there should be voting machines, you should believe him. When he says there should only be voting on Election Day, you should believe him.”
- Trump keeps telling us the election was rigged for him. Why isn’t the media going nuts with this?
- This is how you deal with Homan, not sitting on his lap while he uses you as a sock puppet like Eric Adams.
- This guy helped get Trump elected.
- It’s more than “free Palestine” it is taking over buildings and making threats to Jewish students and making them uncomfortable!
- It’s way more than that. It’s blatantly supporting terrorism. Calling the 10/7 attacks justified. Calling images of the victims propaganda. Glorifying martyrs. Terrorizing Jewish students with Hamas support and genocidal chants. It’s never acknowledging the harm Hamas does to its own people too.
- Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

View full threadThis is an interesting take. As someone who has pre-Revolutionary war heritage, I protested the genocide in Gaza specifically because I do care about this country and my fellow citizens- I don’t want us to be complicit in genocide, and I think that is important despite our history of it.
- Did you also protest Hamas?
- He admitted it last night,
- My protest sign at Tesla on LI.
- Legally he had to. It’s the only way to make their argument. Rubio is the only one who has the thin authority to revoke a visa for no reason. Also, every democrat who voted for this punk should be thought of as complicit in Khalil’s abduction.
- Read @premthakker.bsky.social's breaking story on Marco Rubio signing off on the arrest of Palestinian Columbia student protestor Mahmoud Khalil zeteo.com/p/marco-rubi...
- How about all the leftists who protest voted against Kamala giving us this rotten administration? Hope you’ll be calling them all complicit too.
- Being locked out of my Twitter account for a week (and counting) has definitely hurt my traffic, but also, fuck it.
- Twitter was killed a while ago. Get off X for good! Stop supporting that platform.
- Is it safe to assume that Russia itself now has access to computers inside the US Treasury, IRS, FAA, FBI, CIA, etc.?
- Treason!
- I know this sounds crazy or conspiratorial but historically speaking: capital and right wing political movements have embraced recessions / depressions
- I know this sounds crazy, but WTF is up with the grey box on Facebook?
