am I just irredeemably broken or did anyone else find the price tag of Cuomo’s integrity here shockingly low if you did a favor for Weinstein at the literal height of the Fuck Weinstein era for the low low price of $25,000 I sort of feel like you would have done it for free

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

Cuomo supporters are like "he has more experience working with people" and then the "people" are Harvey Weinstein

That Clyburn thinks Andrew Cuomo is part of the future of the Democratic Party - and points to his character!!! — is the problem with the current Democratic Party leadership in a nutshell. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/n...

New rule: if you're in your 80s, I don't want to hear a damn word about whether someone will play a "role in the future of the Democratic Party." You're not going to be around for it!

this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper

I have never seen a more perverse abuse of words than the name “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” which is basically a settler death trap to lure desperately starved people with the promise of food and then murder them in masses.

If a riot is a violent disturbance of the peace, we need to interrogate what we mean by peace. Friere reminds us that violence is never initiated by the oppressed, without the preexisting violence of oppression, the oppressed would not exist. B. Case, Street Rebellion.

NYC folks: It's supposed to be grotesquely hot on election day -- 100 degrees -- so try to vote early if possible. Check your early voting location, it might not be the same as on election day. And don't rank Cuomo, he's a monster fucking heel scumbag who doesn't give a single shit about NYC.

“I discovered politicians are duplicitous and now I’m Republican” is such a funny lie. Like, Dan, wake up bro! You just hate Muslims!

Bluesky is getting to the point that it's useful to me in the way Twitter was useful: figuring out which journalists and authors you can ignore without missing anything important.

Remember how Yeltsin set the Russian parliament on fire? Because no one was passing his neoliberal economic reforms Yelstin ordered tanks to fire at the building with the legislature still inside and that’s how #democracy was restored in Russia

New in @zeteo.com: My look at how Trump & the GOP's purported fight against antisemitism — a ruse for persecuting pro-Palestinian voices — is one of the most odious, cynical, destructive, and ultimately antisemitic political projects in living memory. zeteo.com/p/if-trump-c...

This is a literal worksheet asking “peacekeepers” to circle indicators of threats on drawings of people with exaggerated stereotypical racialized features. I don’t even feel comfortable alt texting between the absolutely terrible directions and the blatant racism.

Absolutely fucking not. The slaver needed to be brought to heel, their crops burned, their homes razed, their sons slain, and—that which we failed to do—their influence forever purged from the tapestry of mankind.

The reality of “democracy” in capitalism SAPs forced governments to cut public spending and divert resources to debt service. They also privatized public assets and abolished protective tariffs, subsidies and regulations, rolling back the progressive reforms of the post-colonial era.
