MAGA? I just hope Europe will always remain great(er):

OK so Trump attacks a sovereign nation (peace prizes!), the world condemns this and shows it is impossible to maintain the international order of law. Next: 😡 US attacks Greenland and ‘runs’ it with impunity 😡 China attacks Taiwan 😡 Russia invades Baltic states 😡 France claims West Africa Etc

Today I walked the Greenway. I was greatly disappointed. It’s more a steel- or concrete-way, a racetrack and urban heat inhibitor.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Looking at this map, it took me a while to figure out what the price-to-income ratio actually shows. Only then did I see what’s going on in Portugal!

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Kerstcadeau voor ons allemaal: Plasterk is nog steeds geen premier! De acties van Breton en de DSA op zichzelf zijn heel stevig democratisch gelegitimeerd, en kwaadaardige clown Ronald weet het. Hij wil gewoon graag de fanboy van zijn medefascist Musk zijn. "Dreigbrief"? Rot op, patentenpooier.

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love. youtu.be/KIxAKyioXng

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…
