new nightmare death premonition just dropped
Speaking about drones that can tell swimmers who may be drowning that help is on the way, Mayor Adams says they're "gonna use my voice, because I have a calming voice." The drones can also drop a flotation device, he says.

“You have a trade deficit with your hair stylist, does that mean you need to learn to cut your own hair?” -Comment on CNBC moments ago
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.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

The Economic Policy Uncertainty index has risen to a level surpassed only during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent spike “certainly increases the probability of a recession,” one of the economists who developed the measure said.
Will Trumpian Uncertainty Knock the Economy Into a Recession?

As far as I can tell, Khalil has still not been charged & his attorney/family still don’t know where he is.
Any Jew who thinks this is going to start and stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themselves. Our community should not be used as an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law.

The Trump admin is exploiting real concerns about antisemitism to undercut democracy: from gutting education funding to deporting students to attacking diversity, equity, & inclusion.
As we’ve repeatedly said: this makes Jews - & so many others - less safe.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
