Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Good!

Saw two puppies on my walk to pick up muffins this morning. No invasion.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Someone said once that the appeal of Donald Trump is that he’s so universally hateful that he eventually gets around to bullying somebody you think deserves it, and I think that’s right.

Terry Moran being suspended by ABC News is ironic given Moran went out of his way to not embarrass Trump over the president’s delusion about the doctored MS13 photo, repeatedly saying ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and ‘let’s move on’ but they still got him suspended. You can’t appease these people ever.

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

When the people you are protesting against show up, go home. This is how we win.

again we can have this guy, or we can have the guy Trump is preemptively blackmailing who hates the city and everyone who lives here

Ah but who took the stock photo? Correct, George Soros

like bears, these people are much more afraid of you than you are of them

Rittenhousing.

How much I want this marblemouthed hog to go to prison aside, it's a very specific type of dumb person who says "guess what" like this.

Abolish ICE

Very funny day to post this.

not good

Apparently the secret to getting Broadway shows to start on time is to broadcast them live.

“A Cover-Up? Survivors of Israel’s Attack on US Ship Still Waiting for Answers 58 Years Later” On the anniversary, read our Zeteo special investigation from ⁦‪Prem Thakker‬⁩, with a first-hand account of Israel’s 1967 attack on the USS Liberty from a survivor.

People should ask Cuomo how he will deal with ICE and the NYPD goose-stepping alongside them every day until the election, ideally with visual aids of cops beating on protesters and ICE goons snatching guys out of restaurant kitchens

wow have you told the LAPD about this

what's funny about this is that goldberg can't even accurately render the perspective he is literally staring at. mamdani's says nothing about "recognizing" israel." but asking goldberg to accurately render any idea is like asking a dog to make an omelette

Their reward for serving their country is being punished for being punished for who they are by people who have never spent a day in public service, even if they are now in the government bsky.app/profile/eric...

Donald J. Trump

You’ll all be shocked to learn that this guy is a multimillionaire investment banker who advised the Ron Paul campaign

A whole government made up of reckless, stupid, blustering guys who tell weird lies constantly and then have to do Uncut Gems Behaviors to try to make them seem true after the fact. Not what you want!

One thing I’d say about ranked choice voting in NYC is that you don’t have to do complex calculations of viability. You should rank in order of *who you want to be mayor* and if you *don’t* want someone to be mayor, you shouldn’t rank them!

The admin also said repeatedly that they couldn’t get him back.

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

"300 fighters, including untrained drug dealers, thieves, murderers, and radicals, cannot overpower Hamas’ 30,000 militants. Realities on the ground indicate a far more nefarious scheme: those gangs have become a proxy used to advance Israel’s genocide, ethnic cleansing, and starvation policies"

These people need to be driven out of our communities

@jessicaramosqns.bsky.social is an enemy of the working people of New York City. Her remaining in the race is about stopping @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, which means stopping you from affording to live in your home. Don't rank her for mayor and work to defeat her when she next runs for reelection.

don’t worry, you never really had those rights in the first place, you only thought you did

mike johnson genuinely in the running for worst reactionary to come out of louisiana (his competition includes david duke)

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Why not make it a round 60? 😉

He’s right and he should say it

A very very lucrative trade would be to buy a lot of Tesla stock right before some announcement of a rapprochement. If, yk, you happened to have advance knowledge of one.

Do we think he can be talked into nationalizing SpaceX and Starlink

wow, for once a scheduled demolition

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Apropos of nothing I feel like one of the most important things to help your kids develop is an ability to self-regulate.

More of this and only this.
