I would ruin my wedding day makeup before making it through the doors if I found out Zohran would be officiating my ceremony
Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

There is a certain brand of high-minded media story that is "I have just noticed this thing everyone else has been discussing for years and I will now make a pronouncement on it" and I just... I don't personally need that

Do I know any journalists or news outlets who might be willing to write an article about the months I’ve spent begging GoFundMe to release the funds I’ve raised? I wish this were more common knowledge so no one else finds themselves in this position. (Please boost!)

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate

"Pornography" is when brown people look hot and white people can't look away 🙃
When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Analysis: Cizeron/Fournier-Beaudry were wildly overscored considering they weren't even in sync on their twizzles
Analysis: The first phase of the ice dance competition at the Winter Olympics was the best chance for Madison Chock and Evan Bates to control their fate.
But the three-time world champions found themselves behind the French team by 0.46 points.

I am begging people to understand that "illegal" does not mean "impossible."
"How is that allowed? Isn't that illegal?"
Laws of society aren't laws of physics. Life isn't a video game. There's no Big Boss who's going to fire someone from life for not playing by the rules.

Feel like there has been a lot of “conspiracy theorists were right” but what actually happened was victims were and that’s much harder to accept for most people
This conspiratorial thinking is actually the easy way out that ignores addressing real, solvable problems that contribute to victim’s deaths. It ignores failures of the justice system, not fictional shadowy figures and assassins, to keep her safe. It ignores how she was punished by the courts

Repeatedly extending the presumption of good faith to people who quite explicitly operate in bad faith is, at base, disrespecting yourself.

gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly
A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.
