I'm old enough to remember Ed Koch. No matter what you thought of him, he always seemed to be around.

He's either the dumbest man in the country, or a corrupt politician more interested in maintaining power than defending to uphold the Constitution as he swore to do. I foresee prison time in his future.

Every parent of Black children has sat them down, warned and instructed them on how to survive routine interactions with police.

That should tell you all you need to know about U.S. policing.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

A huge difference between Trump and socialists is that Trump manages markets to benefit his corrupt self and his equally corrupt cronies.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

I've been speaking out about climate change since the early 90's. It's never been the end of civilization. It's always been about condemning huge populations to lives of insecurity and desperation. Gates' point is the wealthy will be fine.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

They're just wired that way? Still, they're predators and pedophiles.

A Trump cabinet full of alleged sexual predators? Here’s why it makes perfect sense

The incoming U.S. president and his potential cabinet share a track record of sexual abuse allegations and cover-ups. The characteristics that accompany such behaviour don’t bode well for the world.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes

“Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

I think the larger problem is selective prosecution. This admin they pursue liberals for tax evasion but give conservatives and the rich a pass. Especially Trump himself. You know he's not paying any taxes when he's president.

I haven’t said anything about Sudan because I don’t really have anything to say about Sudan, just sadness.

maybe the old world order would have prevented this; maybe not.

the new one certainly won’t.
