"For better or worse, Adams is the face of New York City, and that face is currently wedged between two orange butt cheeks, begging for mercy. Frankly, this is humiliating behavior for all of us"

On Thursday night, as snow lightly fell on the city, our mayor flew to Florida, specifically to Mar-a-Lago, the infamous lair of our incoming president.

You hate to see it.

The Mayor Jumped On a Plane to Florida to Kiss Trump's Ass

Adams's whirlwind trip to Mar-a-Lago, allegedly to talk about "New Yorkers' priorities" with Donald Trump, reveals a mayor who has lost all self-respect.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 1d

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

This goes back to something I’ve tried to argue for so long — people want forgiveness when they should be working towards atonement. The first is a burden on the person you’ve hurt to absolve you. The second is a lifelong process on your part to be better. It doesn’t require forgiveness.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

should the government allow journalists access to them? yes. of course. but it's always been a carefully curated version of reality. denying access shouldn't be a death sentence to reporting. if anything, it should make you want to work even harder to figure out why they're keeping you out.

the dems cannot give these guys a funded government without guarantees of cities free of ethnic pogroms and actual article 2 powers. the republicans cannot yield this to the dems because it runs opposite of everything their senile rapist leader demands. I am desperate to believe dems see this now.

I've been anxious about racial solidarity in an environment where republicans are eager to divide & conquer minority communities through antagonism on labor, crime, immigration, housing etc and it gives me a lot of hope to see guys out there unafraid to do/say what is right.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
