Doesn’t seem like much justice in the world when that fucker is still alive and being propped up and my mother in law, a lifelong nurse, is in final stage of dying of pancreatic cancer she’s been fighting for the last 6 years.

don't forget that a lot of democrats see AOC and zohran as threats because they make them look ineffectual, cowardly, and unprincipled. which they are!
Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, called President Trump on Saturday to personally object to strikes the U.S. had conducted in Venezuela and to the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani accused Trump of violating international law.

Once had a high school teacher friend of spouse refer to an adult he didn’t like talking to as “too spectrummy” and my brain immediately declared him a mortal enemy. Neurotypicals out here making up new slurs and we’re the bad guys if we even react to it.
Neurotypicals said: “That guy being a bit of a tosser? Probably on the spectrum.”
“Everything we don’t like is on the spectrum” decide neurotypicals
Neurotypicals have helpfully decided that everything they dislike must be “on the spectrum,” it has been announced. Neurotypicals said: “That guy being a bit of a tosser? Probably on the spectrum.”…

Fuck GWB, or even Obama, i miss FDR. no I wasn’t alive then, but i grew up surrounded by vestiges of the New Deal. So many public works projects in rural areas that we now take for granted happened because he had the audacity to care and made the government put money behind them.

Wegmans is a historically racist company that hates non whites and actively avoids placing stores in low-income communities. They block Rochester transit from placing bus stops outside their stores.
“Wegmans representatives did not reply to questions about how the data would be stored, why it changed its policy or if it would share the data with law enforcement.”

day two in Zohran Mamdani’s New York. I watched a gaggle of financial analysts get ziptied and marched into an unmarked van. A man ordered a latte with whole milk in front of me in line and the barista immediately shot him in the head.

Happening to be in NYC this week for anniversary-related festivities, we went to the Mamdani inauguration yesterday. It was historic, and amazing to be among so many people from the city and beyond who believed in his message.

The boots were nice but i wanna see more pics of Ms Duwaji’s brown coat with the matching ruffles on sleeves and hems, bound buttonholes, that standing collar, front waist seam… so much to look at.

The point is everyone gets $600 boots, not no one gets any boots.
Apparently, the Right is losing their minds over Rama Duwaji's boots. Perhaps they need a gentle reminder that when the rich are taxed fairly they are still, in fact, super rich. That bit doesnt change. They just pay more in taxes, as they should. And will still be able to afford $600 boots.

that one person who shows up at every city council meeting when bike lanes are on the agenda:
Taking away our cars can, should, and will be treated as a declaration of war upon rural America.
I find "America isn't really set up for it" to be an annoying rebuttal to any sort of proposal to reduce car dependency. Our leaders used policy to create a system of car dependency and we can sure as hell use policy to undo that. There are absolutely barriers, but do nothing is not a solution.

the word you were searching for was "ethnic cleansing," you quisling shitstains
The Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the foreign-born population are being felt across the country. A past era of immigration crackdowns contains some lessons on how walling off the U.S. now will profoundly alter daily life for millions of Americans.
What America Might Look Like With Zero Immigration
The Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the foreign-born population are being felt in hospitals and soccer leagues and on Main Streets across the country, with hints of what’s to come.
