Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.
This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

The people complaining that other people enjoyed the Super Bowl and how can you enjoy something so meaningless in the face of fascism?
Go have some fun. You won’t make it if you don’t set some time aside for yourself to have some fucking fun. Fascists want you to be miserable. Don’t help them.

not to dismiss the whole thing, but if I wanted to grow my own food I'd have become a farmer, the literal point of civilisation was that everyone didnt have to grow their own food
For the love of God, if I see one more ',grow your own food' hot take.
Sure, for occasional fresh herbs or a few veggies.
Nobody is growing to their entire caloric intake in an apartment or on a balcony.

For profit insurance is immoral. Full stop. An insurers' job isn't to "protect from unnecessary care"; it is to pay for customers care. Every dollar of profit earned is a dollar that didn't provide care to the sick/injured. It is an evil industry captained by the soulless for the sake of the greedy.

How long are you contagious with COVID-19?
Here's what the science says:
➡️ Most people are infectious for ~10 days
➡️ ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset
➡️ Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever
➡️ Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness

Adams claims migrants are bankrupting NYC. Meanwhile, overtime for subway cops is up 3875% in one year. No, that's not a typo: 3875%. gothamist.com/news/nypd-ov...
NYPD overtime pay in the subway went from $4 million to $155 million this year
Subway crime is down slightly. Fare evasion tickets and arrests are way up.

Worth noting that if you are currently pregnant, the antibodies from the maternal RSV shot will offer protection to your baby - it's not a perfect substitute for the infant shot, but it's an important stopgap for the people who can make use of it.
There's a new shot to protect babies from RSV but the hitch is: no one can actually get it because the drug companies completely fucked up
The RSV Shot For Babies Was Supposed To Save Lives. Then Nobody Could Get It.
Drugmakers grossly underestimated demand from patients for nirsevimab, the RSV vaccine for babies, and now supplies have all but dried up.
