More videos of Mamdani filleting the cretin Cuomo please

Put this on a billboard.

Important context for coverage of Sen. Padilla's getting manhandled and cuffed today at DHS Sec Noem's press conference: Padilla is ranking member on the Senate subcommittee that oversees immigration.

I would like to once again say that once they arrested Ras Baraka every elected Dem should have understood what was in store.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

On the latest Study Hall podcast episode, @marisakabas.bsky.social chatted about how legacy media and independent journalists can coexist.

These are refrigerated morgue trucks outside Bellevue, which were still in use a year after the pandemic first hit NYC, but you do you I guess

50% of people in LA descend from Latin America. More than 50% speak a language other than English at home. 0% of them get to write in your favorite magazines. Despite hollow promises to diversify staff, magazines continue to drown out the voices of the very people you should be reading rn.

The number of cancer cases is going to explode in a few years. Remember this moment- when Trump took away cancer research so rich folks could have a few more bucks.

Newsom is a big swinging narcissist which is what’s needed at the moment.

If your job involves shackling children, you need a new job. It’s really that simple.

When 16 million people lose their health insurance because of Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, hospitals will be forced to take on billions of dollars in uncompensated care and many will close their doors. Americans seeking care deserve better.

Either he’s incompetent or he’s lying. Either way, what do the redemptions from the fund he ran look like? Why wouldn’t anyone with a position pull it? Unless, of course it’s currently running a big contra bet.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

“The time is mine”!

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

What amuses me is that Gavin Newsome could have probably ridden this shit all the way to the White House if he’d kept his yap close about trans girls in sports. Now no matter what he does in response to this Trump manufactured crisis, all I’ll ever think is “you raised a kid who likes Charlie Kirk.”

Before going for the reflexive dunk, I think its worth asking if we really want to chase away influential people who have been posting here in reasonably good faith. (Ducks).

Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

LA produces all of your Made In The USA apparel and fabric. LA is the port for most of your goods and produce. LA makes and the USA takes, baby.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.
