Not sure how it could be any clearer that Zohran has the Mandate of Heaven now that the Knicks are going to the Finals

The voters of NY-10 have a big choice to make — between one candidate who will always defend your civil liberties, and another who’s sacrificed your privacy to expand the surveillance state.

Nyc.gov/summer is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you. Because public programs mean nothing if you don't know how to access them.

Trump is using the power of the executive branch to harass and persecute the woman he raped.

Look at this for an illustration of the climate crisis.

Laws always say otherwise with evil clowns

Someone has put up an umbrella over the goose nest at the pond round the corner from me to protect it from the heat and I think this is the sweetest thing ever. It’s possibly the pub next to the pond that has done it not sure. I will miss this place when we move 🪿 🐣❤️♥️🥰

On Friday, I'm talking with some folks about the recent NERC "Level 3 alert" about the dangers data centers pose to grid reliability. This isn't about water or AI or any of that stuff -- just about the way data centers behave on a power-systems level. Got any questions about that?

“People eating the Western diet absorbed about 116 more calories per day than people eating the high-fiber diet. Yet the high-fiber group did not feel hungrier.”

"Most surprisingly, the Norman Conquest of 1066 appears to have been largely an elite process." Scientists once again riding to the rescue of historians, who had previously assumed 1066 was a largely peasant-driven enterprise. theconversation.com/beyond-anglo...

Experts we spoke to said this racial disparity was an indication of the use of racial profiling, while ICE in its own account of theses arrests, sometimes submitted in court, described officers stopping a person based on their appearance, developing a justification for arrest after the stop...

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history. We're building 200,000 affordable homes. We’re overhauling code enforcement. We’re cracking down on bad landlords. We’re creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.

Um, headline writer, ‘how long torture tainted the Sept 11 case’ would have been much better. Once you get into ‘taint infected’ you’re writing a very different story

360,000 Americans have joined Facebook groups fighting data center expansion. Energy bills are rising because data centers drain power grids. Wells are running dry near server farms. People fear losing their jobs. The revolt is here.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

I celebrated AAPI Heritage Month by visiting Sunnyside, Queens for its first ever night market dedicated to the rich cultures of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

JUST IN: Judge blocks Trump admin policy limiting public speech & perhaps on-campus speech by West Point faculty. Judge Cathy Seibel (GWBush/SDNY): 'West Point cadets..are not snowflakes who will somehow be harmed by learning about controversial issues.' www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Breaking: The NYS Assembly, dominated by democrats, just voted for a Trumpy energy agenda that guts the NY climate law. The climate law delayed action by 7 years, but a court had ordered Hochul to implement it… so she moved to gut it and the legislature is obliging. 🤦🤦🤦

If there’s any group I’d guess isn’t the least bit interested it would be those companies

Genuinely the kind of brave pol that you read about who managed to wrangle democracy from autocracy in Eastern Europe and east Asia in the 80’s/90’s. Every Democrat unwilling to do this needs a primary. Anyway, vote @maiforus.bsky.social

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

New York Giants players, including linebacker Abdul Carter, (rightfully) seem pissed about Jaxson Dart palling around with the president. It’s the kind of thing a player should think about before backing an overtly white supremacist politician.

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.

New Yorkers are gonna hate it when they find out his guy is watching Knicks games. It really is interesting to see what happens to the right wing attack machine in the press when they know they have to hate someone but haven't yet settled on what reasons they can publicly give for this hatred.

Props to the State Legislature on passing legislation that provides significant new protections for New Yorkers from ICE. (1/4)

Florida Legislative Black Caucus: “Wasserman Schultz's decision to pursue reelection in this historically Black district, despite explicit requests from the Black community to seek candidacy in a neighboring district, is disheartening.” (All of the other Democratic candidates are Black.)
