A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line.

Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

wrote a fun little something for Food & Wine about how bowls are still the ideal serving-ware vessel, and almost always the best one, even as the era of bowls being cool likely comes to an end. there’s maybe some stuff about hosts and guests and generosity and grace in here, too
Throw Out All Your Plates and Free Yourself
Pasta bowls, soup bowls, dinner bowls, blates, bowl-plates, plate-bowls — really any kind of bowls — are so much better than plates. Not just for serving, but for eating almost any kind of food. One w...

pundits keep telling me that trump’s wins aren’t related to racism and yet when he wins there sure seems to be people who see it as license to be extremely racist
Last week, Black community members at the University of Michigan shared their stories. A long thread, because there were a lot of them, and they can make you weep.

politics hasn’t ended and hard things are hard. i am NOT saying that there are “guardrails” or that trump will be stopped by some other force. i am saying that everything can be a battle if his opponents choose to make it one.

JIM HIMES: How far we have come that on a major news show the question we're examining is, 'is experience necessary for one of the most powerful positions in the land?' Of course it's necessary!...how is this what we're focusing on?
