1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
sorry maybe this is an unnecessary level of stating the obvious, but sometimes when someone says they don’t think puerto ricans are “american,” it isn’t an opportunity to do a little civics gotcha & tell them about the insular cases. they just mean they think real americans are white.
Love this for us.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.
What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one
She wanted to run for governor and when Trump said no, she went Scorched Earth.
Marc Anthony is so dramatic (in his music). I love it.
The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.
The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.
Workers at The Met are trying to unionize, citing “long-term pay inequities, lack of job protection, and ever-increasing workloads.” If they succeed, their union would be one of the largest museum unions in the US.
Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest.
It is the original form of protest.
To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.
WELL HOW ABOUT THAT

It’s pretty emblematic of the way things are going:
An institution lies in shambles while a bunch of people ask if he can do that
Say it!
4. It ignores how people connect now. The traditional debate format is largely outdated for how people consume and engage with politics today.
3. No depth or follow-up. When candidates evade or distort facts, moderators rarely press them. There’s no space for accountability or complexity in a rapid-fire, timed format.
2. Moderators act as gatekeepers. They tend to frame questions through a media lens (what’s “newsworthy”) rather than a voter lens (what’s impactful). So the issues and tone often reflect newsroom priorities, not community realities.
1. It rewards performance, not ideas. Candidates are coached to deliver polished one-liners that “land” on social media instead of engaging in real dialogue. It’s theater, not civic education.
We need to revisit the debate format. I didn’t learn anything new about any candidate, nor did my opinion shift. Same talking points, same rehearsed one-liners. We need real people asking real questions. #nyc #mayoraldebate
Zohran Mamdani is running to make NYC a place we can all afford with some big ideas. I want a Mayor who is fighting for child care, for better buses and who isn’t afraid to think big and bold and not small and old!
A chickpea is neither a chick nor a pea. DISCUSS!
I want in.
Newsmax reaches $67M settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in defamation case.
They refuse to make more! I've been to locations where they admit they could make more, but it's too close to closing time or they just don't feel like it. But yea, your point stands!
Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assembly member and democratic socialist, came in first in Tuesday's ranked-choice primary. Here's what to know about his policies, personal life and past.
New York Is Not a Democracy. Democracy Is Not a Salad. A Salad Is Not a Chevrolet. A Chevrolet Is Not 36 Rats in a Trenchcoat. New York is 36 Rats in a Trenchcoat. Could ranked/ choice voting help Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo?
Mamdani is now ahead of Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic NYC mayoral primary, a new poll found.
Governor Cuomo made New York less affordable and electing Mayor Cuomo will intensify this by a wide margin. This is 🏆
What everyday object is secretly a masterpiece of design? The humble aluminum beverage can. Such a fun, thoughtful breakdown of good industrial design hiding in plain sight.
