I've been reading about the old numbers and policy rackets in Harlem. They were so closely connected to Wall Street that when the stock market crashed, the rackets followed them within a day. Harlem was doubly hit because policy alone employed thousands of people.

one thing to take from this moment is that more things are possible than you’ve been led to believe. A president could, for example, issue an EO demanding 7-Up remove its Shirley Temple flavor’s limited-edition status and get it back onto store shelves. If you believe we can, we can.

John Clarkson is a writer I would have never heard about but I'm glad I did. This dude should have been huge in the 90s and 2000s. Like a blue collar Colin Harrison covering the same New York noir deep state.

The President who was doing flyovers at Daytona and golfing through his presidency wants an accounting of every federal employee’s work week or they will be fired. This while Elon Musk won’t account for any of his time to Congress.

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.

The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I genuinely do not understand how a subset of posters seem to be convinced that David Lynch—someone that was a libertarian turned an openly democratic voter, cast himself as an FBI agent in his own show, and ran a charity for Ukrainian veterans—was a communist.
