Blue MAGA should be constantly reminded that by not speaking up from the start of the genocide, they enabled Biden, stuck us w a pro genocide candidate and if our non-votes mattered, THEY helped elect Trump so they could continue to murder children.

The New York State Democratic Party needs to censure Kirsten Gillibrand for this.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Pediatricians and pediatric societies around the world sowed the seeds of vaccine doubt during the pandemic through discord, wavering and lack of a strong unified voice urging childhood vaccination. It was picked up and amplified by bad actors who are now in charge. The power to undo it is with them

Did you think citizens could, through their democracy, create their own rights? In a statute? Wrong! Rights come from god and/or the founders as interpreted by godly men. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/medin...

To jump on this point, here are places that have implemented some of these radical ideas: City-owned groceries: Erie, Kansas Free buses: Akron, Ohio Ban on noncompete agreements: North Dakota

the level of Islamophobia and anti Palestinian racism which is considered acceptable, and even admirable, among Democrats is really horrific.

Notice how the legacy and corporate media are publishing lots of stories about the rich people who are scared of Mamdani, but none about the working class people who worked to elect him or voted for him?

I genuinely think Bill Ackman is a crown jewel of the USA, by which I mean he should be locked in a tower and only allowed out once a year for public display

I don’t know if Mamdani will ultimately become a successful mayor, I don’t know if Lander will go on to do new things, but I sure as shit know that it’s nice to see politicians and think “I like them, they seem like good human beings”

Every Bill Ackman tweet the last 36 hours in one gif

In 2003, a subway attack left 192 dead in Daegu. When flames returned underground in Seoul last month, that memory helped prevent a second tragedy. www.koreaherald.com/article/1051...

Not only weight based parking charges (and whatever VED morphs into), but also weight based SPEEDING fines please. Doing 23mph in 20 zone in a heavy SUV has more potential to cause serious harm than in a lighter car, so represents more reckless driving behaviour by the driver - hence higher fine.

I’m not sharing the post, because racists are stupid and dull, but one of them accused Mamdani of committing “vibe warfare,” which is amazing. I am proud to be alive during a time when even vibes can fight wars.

Equivalent of one child in every British classroom now born via IVF, data shows

Sigh

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Let's get these in every city and town nationwide.

I just don't understand what the NYT is trying to accomplish here. "Promise Closer Scrutiny" implies that there was a lack, that childhood vaccines had not been sufficiently studied, and further that the new ACIP is committing to affirmative steps to remedy a dereliction. None of that is true.

This is the most Eric Adams anecdote ever so it definitely 100% happened

NEW: Records of 911 and EMS responses to calls from ICE detention centers show a surge in emergencies the facilities are unequipped to handle, including suicide attempts, severe pregnancy complications, and alleged sexual assaults by staff. This is by @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social

Honestly, this made me laugh out loud (maybe it was more of a horrified cynical rattle). Points for honesty!

This is why. 5 feet away in the shade of a tree's difference. Trees aren't just ornaments or lumber. Incorporate them in your landscaping. Line the city streets with them. Public land that is forest is keeping us alive This baby red oak is doing work after just 2 years.

Haven't slept since around 5 am and have been glued to my phone for last 3 hours in hopes of being offered ability to take tonight off work, but nothing so far and I don't have enough time to take the full shift off. I hate Wednesdays!!

Brad Lander told NY1 at Mamdani’s party that what Democrats need to decide right now is whether to be “fighters or folders” and yes he should immediately mount a primary challenge to Chuck Schumer

Just remembered this

Breaking: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's office is confirming "The Baileys" have been found dead in their Massapequa home

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

This is an image maga is posting to stoke fear of Mamdani. A list of things that sound awesome

File under: the NDP party leadership needs to resign. Both incapable of running a campaign and with a clear track record of tokenizing women of colour who also happen to be its most consistently successful candidates. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

The only pollster (literally) to get tonight right, PPP, takes a victory lap. And says they “saw Zohran Mamdani’s first place finish coming before anyone else did for one simple reason: we polled the 2025 electorate instead of the 2021 electorate.” www.publicpolicypolling.com/polls/why-pp...

Just do politics that help real people. It’s not that complicated. It’s not that even really that hard. You just have to listen, look at data, and really want to help.

👀 Spotted by @diking.bsky.social on the National Archives website: “Effective July 7, the National Archives at College Park, MD, will become a restricted-access federal facility with access only for visitors with a legitimate business need. It will no longer be open to the public”

Here are the 128 House Democrats who voted to table (kill) the Rep. Al Green D-TX impeachment resolution against President Trump over the Iran attacks.

Northumbria police destroy Battle of Orgreave and other miners’ strike files

"Maersk will cut ties with companies linked to illegal Israeli settlements on the occupied West Bank, the Danish shipping giant has said....Its shipments have come under scrutiny as part of an international campaign led by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)" www.yahoo.com/news/shippin...

Your regular reminder from me that a massive anti-corruption campaign could be a mighty weapon against these creeps.

Houston police called ICE on a woman who called 911 to report domestic abuse by her ex-husband. The only reason she didn't get deported is because ICE said there was no one to take custody of her kids, according to the police report. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

How it feels to have executive dysfunction

This is good.

VEASEY: You've credited the 12 steps in your recovery. What's step 4? RFK JR: Making a fearless inventory VEASEY: Of ourselves. Do you remember step 12? RFK JR: We try to help other addicts VEASEY: Does cutting off treatment from people still suffering align with step 4 or step 12?

AOC: Are you aware that President Trump's DOJ is investigating United Health Care for criminal insurance fraud? RFK JR: I am not aware of that investigation AOC: You are not aware that the Trump DOJ is investigating the largest insurance company in America for fraud in Medicare Advantage?
