I was thinking about this yesterday. In real economic terms, how many working class people does it take to replace a centimillionaire so that NYC is financially better off? Two? Three? I’m sure it’s waaaay less than the rich would have you believe.

Official US history cannot be known. Only history approved by or altered by MAGA is legitimized. Free speech, Constitution, etc.

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

The favorite hobby for rich white men like this guy is to truffle hunt for new creative ways to be white supremacists. And they’re so proud when they find one and get to do a racism.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

I for one support his proposal to that all New Yorkers be given a radio that picks up our neighbors conversations. Community building. Thoughtful. Humbling.

Some of Trump’s rich friends are clearly complaining directly to him that the ICE raids are hurting them financially.

If AI really is the future to the degree many believe, then the owner of one of the few big publicly-accessible AIs manipulating it to fixate on a false conspiracy theory the owner likes, instead of responding according to the widespread data it trained on, should be considered a watershed moment.

I’ve read a dozen versions of this article, but have never once heard a liberal or progressive make a pleading case against families or having babies.

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery. That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax? Nope. Corruption.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

This is not what anyone anywhere was ever taught in school. This is what the hosts of Fox & Friends joked about and millions of doofuses accepted it as gospel truth.

I assure you, the experience of driving your car into Manhattan is not in any way an experience of “freedom.” Much closer, viscerally to the experience of confinement, and being caged.

He means people and companies are giving money to Trump personally under the extortion scheme. Stop asking to see them. They’re illegal, blatantly corrupt, and they won’t be shared voluntarily.

Conservatives, in general, lack the imagination to see the world as it is. They live in a fantasy land where everything is sunshine and rainbows if you “follow the rules.”

It is way past time for all of our most prominent Americans from the last 40 years to start standing up for their country like this.

It's pretty wild, when you think about it, that the political press spent four years saying "Biden's real test: will Americans approve of his economy?" and then Trump's been president for three months and he's brutally murdering the economy and the political press is just not that focused on it

It really drives me bananas that the duo-tone map graphic we all use to denote plurality votes by county/state says anything real about the people there. It’s all fucking shades of purple, and a dozen other colors besides.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless
