Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social if you can continue efforts to reduce the use of single use plastic water bottles in NYC that would be great. We have great drinking water here. I know folks who live in other states who are shocked that I drink tap water. www.concordia.ca/news/stories...

The chronic risks from single-use plastic water bottles are dangerously understudied, new Concordia research shows | News - Concordia University

Regular use will add tens of thousands of micro- and nanoplastic particles directly into your body every year.

Picture here is from 1992. LA riots. Ive seen this called bad news judgment. In any real journalism outfit this is more like a firing offense. I basically say such things. Beyond belief.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

A few months ago I said I didn’t care who was mayor of nyc. I lost followers who demanded I care

I checked to see if they’d tweeted about California’s prop 50 and how my state is trying to counter Texas gerrymandering & disenfranchisement of Black voters.

None have

Broadly my point is “everyone” demands Black people support “every” issue that’s important to someone..

But that same energy is rarely returned organically. We have to beg.

But it’s not only leftists, it’s centrist dems too who demand Black loyalty or even fealty to their cause …

But those same folk ignore all the causes we support and need their support on until it’s convenient for them to do so.

I said earlier this year my number one concern is Black people in the USA and some non Black got mad.

There’s a weird sickness here who believe we have to join their cause “because it affects everyone” while they ignore any outward support of our causes.
