Casablanca is a wonderful movie. I used to wonder why it didn’t feel hokey, despite the somewhat implausible plot and the very blunt symbolism of the Marseilles scene, but I know think it’s because this stuff really matters and those making the picture knew, many of them first hand.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

As this article notes, immigrants, particularly Haitian immigrants, are the backbone of the human services industry in Massachusetts. If these folks are deported, it will exacerbate an existing staffing crisis and reduce quality of care for tens of thousands of people.

The NYC Democratic Primary is ranked choice. DO NOT rank Cuomo. DO NOT rank Adams. Thanks.

submitted 1 day ago • 2 comments

Also, Cuomo almost single-handedly cost Dems the House. He let the GOP gerrymander NY’s Senate to thwart progressives, pushed through an amendment to try to block future Dem maps, & chose conservative judges who blocked Dems from gerrymandering after 2020 while the GOP ruthlessly drew TX, FL, etc.

“Here’s a fact that should appall New York voters, especially women: You paid for Cuomo’s lawyers to seek the gynecological records of an accuser. Why? It’s a good question that voters should ask the candidate as he makes the rounds.”

My undergrad thesis was on what happens when people don’t get the proper weather warnings, focusing on the 1938 Great New England Hurricane. The work @noaa.gov and @nws.noaa.gov is essential. These people save lives and infrastructure. Nothing can replace their passion and dedication. Such a loss.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

DOGE looking for $880M in "waste" reminds me of cops having quotas, which they swear they don't have. 🙃 I saw a clip on the news of a cop, angrily letting slip that he had 30 more traffic stops to do. Are you a cop from Minority Report? Can you see the future?...No?...
