Remember to take care of your ears. I’ve been through an ordeal and it seems it wont end. First, I had impacted ear wax. I’m still not sure what you’re supposed to do for this except everyone says Dont use q-tips. So, I had to get my earwax removed, but then one of my ears was infected.

The more I think about it the angrier I get. This is so deeply disrespectful: to readers, to colleagues (at Politico and in the industry), to anyone who is covered by this publication. This person is genuinely, openly ignorant and proud of it, while shaping our news and information environment.

Today the NYC Campaign Finance Board announced our campaign will receive $2.82 million in matching funds. More New Yorkers have donated to our campaign than any other, by far. Now their small dollar donations will be turbocharged. We already had the momentum—now we'll have the resources to win.

Mask bans kill disabled people. It’s a eugenics tool. By others not masking in solidarity, you’re saying your comfort and convenience is more important than our lives. Abled comfort and convenience do not outweigh disabled lives and safety. Does your “we keep us safe” include disabled people?

Truly heartbreaking to hear the news that Biff Wiff has passed away. Biff was one of ITYSL’s breakout stars. His gruff comedic style belied a warmth and humor with which he embraced his fans and newfound recognition. Biff brought joy and laughter to so many. He will be dearly missed. 💔

It will be years before you can cast a vote directly against Trump, but in the City we have a chance to kick out his toady Eric Adams. Register for the Democratic primary so we can get rid of that crooked cop.

The entire contents of Waste.gov, the website tracking government "waste" are from a default WordPress theme about an imaginary architecture firm. Musk said yesterday DOGE is "maximally transparent" and all actions are being tracked on website: www.404media.co/elon-musks-w...

sorry, but when you don’t fight dirty with a party that does and you insist on asking your constituents for money that you piss away on mansions and insider stock trading while they suffer and you clock out for recess because Valentine’s Day is so important to democracy, you are a disgrace

If you’re not masking because you’re not worried about getting sick…take a beat & realize it’s not just about you I am worried about getting sick. I’m desperately trying to maintain the tiny bit of function I have left When you refuse to mask, you’re choosing to put me at risk

I hope it is lost on precisely nobody that Musk's entire communications M.O. is an extremely obvious game of "I am rubber, you are glue." Call him an oligarch? The next day DOGE is "taking down the oligarchy" Call DOGE a coup effort? The next day efforts to stop it are "judicial coups"

It’s official: Eric Adams’ shameless campaign to avoid legal accountability for corruption has succeeded. In the midst of a right-wing billionaire assault on the working class of our city, he sold us out for another personal favor. Election Day can’t come soon enough.

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

Disability is not a personal or moral failing. Everyone is one accident, infection or stroke of bad luck from becoming disabled. When someone asks for help, give it freely and without strings. Don’t judge them or tell them to “try harder”. One day it’ll be your turn.

I had this debate during a rewatch of The Good Place. My friend said Janet must be in on the deception in season 1 and my argument was essentially just because Janet knows all the data about what’s happening doesn’t mean she understands the moral or social implications, ie information, of it all.

I hate to be a broken record but, this is capitalism's fault. We have the food, we have the means to transport it, nobody should be starving, only thing standing in the way is some greedy fucking leech. And don't get me started on why those people are starving in the first place.

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law. Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people. It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies. In that sense, the system is working very well. But it is not working for the average American. We need Medicare for All.
