Things just went from bad to worse for Eric Adams. At the very least, he's twisting in the wind for weeks more. And this could functionally turn into an investigation of his whole deal with the Trump DOJ. Yikes. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

A Jewish man pulled up to another car, got out, and unloaded 17 bullets to try to kill two strangers because he thought they were Palestinian. The victims then blamed Arabs. Where's the prime time coverage? The congressional hearings? The ADL?

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese expressed shock over the German police's intervention at a Palestinian event she attended in Berlin. Albanese described the situation in Germany as "pretty awful" after officers checked whether they could arrest her.

How's that Twitter deal aging? How's Tesla's car business doing? How's that bet on Elon's magic self-driving beans feeling right about now? Go ask the one analyst who is too smart to be popular how good SpaceX's business really looks. The real letdown is still coming, bro. The signs are all there.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Looks like Elon Musk needs that yearly reminder that The Matrix is a trans allegory written by two closeted trans women. “You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

You couldn't ask for a clearer picture of the fundamental crossroads in the aftermath of Democrats' loss to Trump: Leader Hakeem Jeffries meeting with 150+ Silicon Valley donors vs. Bernie Sanders going on a national tour to talk directly to voters in Biden '20—GOP '24 districts

Literally all they’re doing is a private equity play. They need these offices so they’ll have to rent them back putting further strain on the budget and justifying further cuts (while their friends make money on the deal)

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

An incredible small business in our neighborhood needs our help. @astoriabookshop.bsky.social was the victim of contractor fraud. What was supposed to be small maintenance project ended up costing 2x the original estimate, & the contractor disappeared mid-project after being fully paid.
