Norman Rockwellβs βFreedom of Speechβ painting. Guy standing to speak in a crowd.
βPlease donβt break my arm. Iβm just talking.β
your new DHS secretary, everyone:
On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how βthe richest and most powerful nation in the worldβ cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.
If FDNY leadership claims protected bike lanes are an existential threat to fire response while ignoring their own employees blocking fire hydrants, maybe we should stop treating them as an authority on fire safety.
Corey Lewandowski to begin affair with Markwayne Mullin
Horrified by the death of our Massachusetts neighbor Emmanuel Damas in ICE custody. He was denied medical care for months.
Iβm sending his family my deepest condolences. A family who has been robbed of their brother & son.
Emmanuel is at least the tenth person to die in ICE custody this year.
You've been Chotinerred
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.

Happy Holi, New York City!
Growing up, Holi was more than a celebration of spring β it was a chance to embrace joy & revel with family.
It's been a long winter & spring is much anticipated. I wish New York City's Hindu communities an extra colorful Holi β may the warmth come soon enough.
would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door
We canβt clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
Thatβs why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldnβt mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
"if we just find a white guy who talks bible and plain values but liberal, all of those republicans who have been voting the wrong way will magically vote for us" - the main west wing brain thesis.
Sounds like a lawsuit to me.
Starting out at 60% against a war is actually terrible. I am old enough to vividly remember a number of US wars since 1990. In 2003, I remember polls that showed that 55% to 60% of people were in favor of war on Iraq. 4 years later, 60% of people polled said that US should have stayed out of Iraq.
I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.
Devastating.
for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc
It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.
A good way to demonstrate your unserious nature is arguing that βKamala would be doing this too.β
Please stop reporting on what he SAYS when it's a verifiable fact that he nearly always LIES.
Anyway, since it apparently needs to be said, it's not funny that her son died (obviously). It's funny that she's a dumb racist.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
Go get yourself a primary challenger, baby
Hey, man, if you're not up for the job requirements of being a congressman -- if the whole "war powers" part is too much of a hassle for you -- I'm sure the people in your district can find someone else who'll do the actual work for that paycheck.
Look what Democrats made Trump do.
For my entire life, the people protesting US wars have always been ultimately vindicated and that being right is completely forgotten when the next war comes.
