Unlike ham and cheese, a sandwich that’s ubiquitous across the globe, jambon beurre is strictly French. Though it’s a seemingly sparse construction — simply baguette, cooked ham and butter — the ingredients require careful selection.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

I don't think it's useful to call a politician putting himself in the path of getting arrested by Trump's ICE agents a "stunt." Putting your body on the line isn't simply a stunt. Confronting the agents of the state in order to protect an undocumented New Yorker isn't simply a stunt.

I’ve known Brad Lander for almost twenty years and he has always been a mensch and risking his neck to stand up for immigrants isn’t a stunt, it’s who he has always been

BREAKING: What you just witnessed was a state-sanctioned kidnapping. These people aren’t identifying themselves. Citizens can no longer distinguish between state authority & rogue violence. This is not a warning about what might come. We are not watching the start of something. We are living it.

This is the first image I jump to when folks say they home school their kids. I'm sure plenty of them do fine, but... I don't think people realize how important public school is for kids who suffer abuse. School is a safe haven to get out from under that thumb of authoritarianism and horror.

Who’s really behind book bans? It’s not just concerned parents… 72% of book censorship efforts come from pressure groups and government officials. Only 16% come from parents, and 12% from others like teachers or library users. #FreedomToRead #StopBookBans #FactsMatter #LetBooksBe #ProtectLibraries

Ten years ago, it would have been inconceivable that a president would fail to divest from his businesses, much less that his business would continue to launch new products like a phone service during his presidency. This is yet another ethics outrage.

Klein opens with declines in public support for trans rights but elides majority support for anti-discrimination. Basic civil rights framing fight but Dems negotiate with themselves and don’t do propaganda or dismantle the right’s noise machine.
