"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca read Letterboxd reviews and guessed which Scorsese movie they were about.

The Mississippi GOP's main project has been to roll back the civil rights movement, starting with the re-segregation of public schools. ProPublica identified 20 segregation academies in Mississippi that received almost $10 mn over 6 years from state coffers.

v pleased Sotomayor just said this same damn thing at oral argument in the tariffs case like UM didn't we say in the student loans case?? DOJ said this is different bc there's a foreign emergency; Sotomayor said ok bet, so we say global warming is an emergency and then we can have loan forgiveness?

😆

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

I have actually not seen Mamdani give a formal speech and what I’ll say is that unlike so many of his peers he is not trying to mimic anyone in his delivery. He is simply being himself and it is very effective.

This is a very big deal. This is an incredibly segregated state with massive disparities in infrastructure across racism and economic lines and this is one step closer to ending that

it’s not just money or good social media or even great politics—though great politics certainly help. it is people talking to other people. it is listening. it is pounding the pavement. empowering people to be the campaign. real organizing.

When he said he wished Cuomo well in his private life & then that he hopes never to have to speak his name again ... 💃

I don't care what the polls say. I don't care what the odds say. I don't care what the online and TV pundits say. NYC, if you haven't voted for Zohran Mamdani, please go. If you voted, please ask your friends. Let's leave no stone unturned. The movement is now. zohranfornyc.com/vote

My #histgym workout used to be walking asylees through the airport & translating for them. Since the border closure, my new #histgym workout is stacking cans & perishables at the food pantry & helping clients. My body is tired now but it was lovely to stack & help migrants from 🇺🇦 & 🇭🇹 today!!!

Which makes this final short from Mamdani so compelling www.instagram.com/reel/DQnqrOb...

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

ICE officers reportedly shot a 25-year-old named Carlos Jimenez. He was shot after getting out of his car to tell the agents, who had pulled over a vehicle, that children would soon be gathering in that spot for the school bus.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

Since the fall of El-Fasher in Sudan earlier this week, “very few people [are] getting out”, says @rescue.org President & CEO, David Miliband. Only 5,000 civilians have made it to safety, while the 250,000 caught in the enclave face “grave danger and mass killing.” #Velshi

One year ago, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was running the NYC Marathon. This year, he's nearing the end of a very different race: the one to become the next mayor of NYC. As some wealthy people try to stop his rise, he says his campaign is about "bringing democracy back to working people." #Velshi

Fantastic article in the @forward.com from an Israeli American supporting @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: “This is what safety looks like.” 🔥 forward.com/opinion/7805...

TELL ‘EM @ravmike.bsky.social!!!!!

Read it yourself, but 💥 again:

Anyone wonder why they hate Autism (appointing RFK Jr) & disabilities in school? Ask yourself, why don't we see Baron, why 1st term he was in the background silent w/ fidget spinners? Why his mother's by his side even going to college? Some people can't embrace our differences. Only hate them.

This is good. taskandpurpose.com/news/vet-gro...

Unlocked NYT article, pls share. "The judge then ordered Bovino, who took the stand in his usual green fatigues and Border Patrol insignia, to appear at the federal courthouse at the end of every weekday to personally provide her with a report on the day’s arrests and incidents." shorturl.at/Cx7Al

The White House has fired all six members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, the independent federal agency that reviews design plans for monuments, memorials, coins and federal buildings. n.pr/4ntG3PR

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

The armed government agents who like to wear masks so we can't identify them as they arrest random brown people are now in the habit of running an undocumented facial-identification system on their phones that will allegedly report on somebody's citizenship status.

Zero chance if out of context you asked him who Albert Pike was that he would know.

Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

These goons slammed Kat to the ground while she was peacefully protesting -- and now they're charging *her* with a crime????

"Mamdani's proposals, such as freezing the rent for some New York tenants, free buses and free child care, are not only feasible but also build off the foundations of previous New York City laws, political analysts told ABC News."

Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with numerous business interests cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests. When billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Our problem is identity politics unless Black people refuse to endorse a conservative who doesn’t share their politics just because she is Black.

Pssst. Hey. Hey, New York. We have the opportunity to do something very punk rock and elect a mayor who doesn't suck shit! GO VOTE!

NOT. ONE. FUCKING. LIE. If we do live to see the end of this you better believe the same cowards bending the knee now will try to whitewash their complicity and we cannot let them. Every one of them needs to live with this for the rest of their miserable lives

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

No, man, Republicans are in charge of the government. Do you think Democrats are the ones who keep telling the House to stay on vacation week after week in order to prevent the release of the Epstein Files? Because I'm pretty positive that's *you* who's been doing that.

Not seeing much about the massive anti-Trump pro-Gaza protests are we? Funny, that. (Instead our media shows us Trump’s embarrassing dance moves and red carpet treatment)

Two chapters into this, and it is such a pleasure. As @hofrench.bsky.social explains, more than a biography of Nkrumah, it's an examination of pan-Africanism as both political movement and identity, what Howard calls Global Blackness. The ideas are breathtaking, and the prose is exquisite, too.
