@mcuban.bsky.social Do you know if there is a centralized fund where people can donate to progressive independent media creators to be shared by them the way bookshop.org shares to independent booksellers? Thanks.

Trump has ordered embassies and consulates to cancel ALL media subscriptions. The New York Times, The Economist and Reuters in particular are deemed to be against the interests of America. How long before you are deemed to be an enemy of the people because you have one of these subscriptions?

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Trump has got Adams; he knows Bass is done & Caruso waits in the wings; he freed Bogoljevich who can challenge Pritzker or the Chicago mayor; & he knows Hochul is in peril by refusing to extradite the doctor to Fl. He’s coming for the blue zones & will be calling in favors, as any mafia boss would.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

Trump Quiz Bowl. A word problem this time. Sally wants to buy a dog. Dick and Jane each have a dog to sell. Trump gives Sally $1M that she can use only to buy a dog. How much do Dick and Jane sell their dog for? Answer: At least $1M. Lesson: SCHOOL VOUCHERS DON'T WORK!

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

@maddow.msnbc.com From an atty, I would like someone to ask the press secretary to explain why Polish and French affinity groups are allowed to remain at Westpoint while female and black ones are not. Sometimes it is the answers to the simple questions that make an impression.

An important historical note — that USAID helped end Apartheid — sheds new light on Elon’s relentless and soulless attack on USAID. During Apartheid, Black South Africans were robbed of human rights and political power. 1/2 www.thealtmedia.com/p/musks-sout...
