a total wreck knowing your pet is going to die and waiting for it to happen

Remember, Russell Vought said he wanted to "traumatize" federal civil servants.

Proud to stand in solidarity with workers at Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn who are fighting back against mass layoffs and corporate greed.

This doesn't really count all the money not collected because they fired irs agents, downturn of commerce from planes crashing and vacations being cancelled at national parks.

It’s wild watching these clips, and the ones of Musk a couple days ago — the two most powerful people in the world, blustering and muttering utterly incoherently. Two husks, animated entirely by the brute forces of grievance, racism and capitalism

guy who has never worked at a real company sending an email

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

josh allen is so cool having displates of the most popular movies

It’s the illegal parking jackpot: A Cybertruck, idling with nobody inside, in front of a fire hydrant, with a paper license plate that expired 10 days ago.

“HELLO FREE PRESS WATCH ME EXTORT THIS GOVERNOR RIGHT NOW”

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

A measure of the mood at City Hall.

NYU Langone and other wealthy hospitals are capitulating to Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ and immigrant New Yorkers — while enjoying hundreds of millions of dollars in local tax breaks every year. I wrote about their publicly-subsidized cowardice at @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social.

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

The Daily Beast: What is this Elon Salute what can it mean French Nazis: too Nazi for us

all the white spaces was alright, felt like a first novel by someone. plot pushed me through but it did feel as though I was reading the same paragraphs over and over. I wonder if there is a half epistolary version of this book that interlaces entries from the diary that shows up late in the book

Mom, come pick me up, they're coming up with the silliest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

i got a played more avowed i want to shoot gun and read from book

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

I am so sick of this shit. It’s a Sieg Heil. It’s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. It’s ridiculous that legal departments presumably won’t let media call it what it is. Bannon made “a provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally”? Fuck off.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

Starbucks labels their coffee product sources as "100% Ethical." Today, a new report documents abusive labor & negative environmental practices within the supply chain Starbucks sources from in Mexico. This isn't the first time the alarm has went off.🧵 elpais.com/mexico/2025-...

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

The thing is, if we had a mayoral administration that was doing more to reduce the number of on-street parking spaces then private garage owners might conceivably do better, given higher demand. Just a mess from top to bottom.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

One of President Trump's anti-congestion pricing mouthpieces has a notable conflict of interest: Her husband owns more than a dozen parking garages in the very part of Manhattan where driving has been reduced by the toll.

We can track our deliveries down to the block. Shouldn’t we be able to tell when housing inspectors are showing up? As mayor, I’ll enable tenants to schedule HPD appts + create a user-friendly website where you can check the status of violations/fines. hellgatenyc.com/zohran-mamda...

Instead of doing something simple and effective, why not do a very a complicated form of a nothing that hands a loaded gun to your opposition? That's the Democrat Promise
