“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

The miasma theory is not "outdated," it's fucking nonsense. It thought people got chlamydia from rotten air. The "germ theory" isn't "widely accepted," it's proven scientific fact, and it's the only thing that allowed humanity to advance and cure diseases. Otherwise, great headline.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

"pro-vaccine groups" NYT editors are the fucking enemy

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

LIST! LIST! THERE ISNT EVEN A REPLACEMENT IN PLACE?!

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

Just my opinion but I think it's best practices both as a candidate for this particular office and as a person in the world to tell anyone asking you this question, at this moment, to fuck off.

Death threats. Islamophobic bigotry. Now a sitting Councilmember calling for my deportation. Enough. This is what Trump and his sycophants have wrought. It’s an assault on the values of our city and our Constitution. Will Cuomo condemn this or will that upset his MAGA donors?

It’s not alleged. Three separate legal investigations at the state and federal level found he did these things.

We're now 8 points away from sending Andrew Cuomo back to the suburbs.

Trump's ICE is now kidnapping New York City high school students. This is where Eric Adams' silence and complicity has led us. Free Dylan now.

I love you I love these players I love Ange I love this club Fuck Yes

Just a perfect sign of Schumer's incompetence. As the OP notes, there's no need to do this. The law is already on Democrats' side. And when this bill inevitably fails in a GOP-led Congress, it will then seem to many like the Qatari gift is perfectly legal. Congress didn't outlaw it, right?

Disgusting ad on Sunday night baseball, absolutely vile stuff

When you’re the first Muslim elected official to run for mayor, people say some pretty wild things.

“Death is everywhere. It feels inescapable and inevitable.” Head of northern Gaza’s largest soup kitchen calls “the horrors of starvation here… indescribable,” fears targeting by Israeli military for providing the service of a soup kitchen. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social are you at the mets game tonight?

The thing about Cuomo is that he doesn't live here, hasn't lived here in decades, and has no clue what people like about New York City. Do not rank him.

To say legacy media is not built for this moment is a gross understatement. The people destroying this country are being treated with respect.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

This Mets inning has me cackling

ICE is now asserting it's a federal crime for bystanders to request that masked people in plain clothes show identification as they're handcuffing folks and stuffing them into unmarked vans.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

Every person with a spectrum disorder has a more valuable life than RFK Jr, and every trans/nb person has a more valuable life than JK Rowling. You are a human with dignity and they are sunken demons

deeply hate the distinction of "American citizens" here. it's also bad if they send non-citizens to a gulag. it's bad if—gasp—they send undocumented people to a gulag. it's bad if they send literally anyone to a gulag!!!

NEW: Andrew Cuomo used ChatGPT to help write the housing plan he released this weekend, which included several nonsensical passages. The plan even cites to ChatGPT on a section about the Rent Guidelines Board. hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

It's amazing that 4 congressional Dems voted to make it *illegal for married women to vote*, and the rest of the Dems didn't respond "ok yeah you are not allowed to call yourself a Democrat anymore, we're not going to help fundraise for you, just go fuck yourself"

Camus: Under conditions so desperate, the hard, marvelous task of this century is to create justice in the most unjust of worlds, and to protect freedom from those souls who, out of principle, choose servitude. If we fail, man will return to darkness. But at least we will have fought to find light.

Essentially the end of the first amendment and it’s in service of Zionism — a collaborative effort from both parties and their biggest representatives to frame criticism of Israel and their massacre as terrorism.

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of *terrorism* anonymously.

Cuomo rehabilitation is so depressing because of all the guys who got MeToo'd out of politics he was probably the guiltiest. he actually got an investigation and the investigation not only verified the public allegations but also found that there were more victims than the press knew about!

The framing from legacy media on the Ms Rachel stuff is insane. Nowhere do they say that these are baseless claims, or that what she said (every child's life is precious and worthy) is not "Hamas propaganda." If u didn't know the background to this story and saw this post, you'd believe their smear

They have and are literally doing things in every box. This isn't just journalistic failure by the NYT, it is disinformation.

if we want to rebuild american institutions and earn back the world’s trust after this we cannot settle for half-measures. lots of people need to go prison. lots more need to be permanently stripped of wealth and power.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Horrifying figures. Every US news room should be condemning this. watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/p...

this is the most moral army in the world. you have to understand, they're crying while executing

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.
