Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

It had a funny scientistic ring to it that hardly seems necessary now. An intern drafted up some language that bothered to ransom-note a few JAMA and NEJM papers to spell out “Work makes you free”. There were hypotheses to be tested by the children of Deloitte VPs.

If we weren't a profoundly white supremacist nation (same for the hegemonic "West" as a whole), this and the 20 million other yearly preventable deaths that we allow yearly would be the only things on the news, every day, around the clock. This is all preventable www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza. That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed. Genocide. medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Why are institutional Dems' election criticisms always directed at the smallest, least powerful part of the voter coalition but never at the Party leaders ?

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x
