Donald Trump is a New Yorker before everything else; he has always and will always (attempt to) be chummy with the mayor of NYC
don't need to read any more than that into it, really

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.
It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

How Trademark Ruined Colorado-Style Pizza
You've heard of New York style, Chicago deep dish, Detroit square pans. But Colorado-style pizza? Probably not. And there's a perfectly ridiculous reason why this regional style never spread beyond a handful of restaurants in the Rocky Mountains: one guy trademarked it and scared everyone else away from making it. This story comes via a fascinating Sporkful podcast episode where reporter Paul Karolyi spent years investigating why Colorado-style pizza remains trapped in obscurity while other regional styles became national phenomena.

there is something incredibly unseemly about a collective freakout over a muslim-american becoming the mayor of a large city while the most openly white nationalist administration in american history does its thing
Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.
