I will never understand how committing perjury doesn't get a police officer immediately fired and thrown in prison for 20 years. That sort of corruption is toxic and needs to be stamped out.

"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship. Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

The moderates and fascists are going to be terrified. They’re going to be desperate and, just like we saw with Cuomo, they’re going to increasingly side with one another. That’s what history teaches us and it’s on us to be ready for the fight. And, if we are, we will win.

Dick Cheney was about as evil as you can get and caused incredible harm and suffering to humanity. Every breath he took made the world crueler and less free. Today we mourn his millions of victims. It’s a shame he was never made to answer for his crimes; it’s a shame he didn’t die forty years ago
