for *a certain kind of billionaire*, none of their efforts have been about profit and loss for some time — cultural and political power are what this class wants, the profits are just what they’re using to buy that power, and i think that requires a different analytical framing than neoliberalism

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Disarm disband defund abolish and prosecute ICE

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

“I don’t want people to know who I am” Ok. Then you don’t get to be a federal policeman/woman. See? That was easy.

Decent start. Now bring charges

Enough with this garbage about "healing the divide." This is America and it looks pretty damn united to me. Real patriots turn out for one another and that's why we'll bury this new Confederacy in the same trash heap as their ancestors.

Trump posted this in February 2025. It is 11 month later and congestion pricing is still in effect. how could he overturn the midterms in New York when he can’t even stop us from collecting a congestion toll?

Abolish ICE is the bare minimum at this point.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

RIP King

sometimes I just need to take a step back and marvel about how fucking stupid you must be to vote for far right populists. shit is so fucking embarrassing

The ICE murder of Renee Good and the failure of any cessation of the Grok CSAM and nonconsensual image generation are part of the same broader story about the establishment of elite impunity for transgressing all moral boundaries of a humanist civil society with individual rights

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Farewell sweet Prince

So fucking proud of this city. Lfg

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

if you think the problem is that the democratic party is too extreme rather than our current media environment privileges right wing bull shit then you have no real business discussing politics in public

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

Zohran wants universal childcare for everyone in this city and I hear people who NEED this asking 'OK but how will he pay for this?' I'm like 'bitch I haven't heard your ridiculous ass ask ONCE how the city is paying 11 BILLION A YEAR FOR COPS.' NOT ONCE. So damn demagogued.

Charlie Kirk is such a stupid Nazi fuck that he literally thinks “New York City would be so cool without the gays, and immigrants and Blacks and Jews.” Motherfucker, we are WHY New York City is cool you stupid little bitch! People like you not living there is what makes it cool!

Got a new car yesterday, and I, like all normal adult humans, keep a spreadsheet every time we get gas. Some fun totals over the course of our time owning the last car

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

I was at Electric Forest last weekend and ordered a banh mi. They asked if I wanted pork or chicken, I opted for pork but the pork....was just bacon. Still trying to process this. It wasn't bad, I just didn't think it would be bacon

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

I don't know what it's going to take to stop this kind of thing from happening, but I am 100% sure that the answer isn't "Andrew Cuomo."

I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

"Just change the party from inside"

THE AMERICAN CENTURY IS OVER THE ILLINOIS CENTURY IS JUST BEGINNING

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

This is the city where drivers mow down toddlers in crosswalks while making a turn against the signal and the cops let them drive home, right

NYC: You have 8 mayor candidates who aren't sexpests, criminals, or creeps. Rank your top 5 among them and ensure that the city has a mayor it's proud of. Mine: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social @zellnor.bsky.social

If you started voting Republican because pronouns annoyed you, you are basically the most feebleminded person in world history. You should not be allowed to cross the street unchaperoned

running america like a business specifically means like sears or toys r us or red lobster or radioshack or kmart or joann or party city or payless shoe source or the limited or brookstone or envision healthcare or a&p or sports authority or vice media or tgi fridays or true value or rjr nabisco or

the New York Democratic Party is completely broken. everyone needs to be primaried

I am not the first to say it but I do sort of see where JD Vance's mom was coming from when she traded him for drugs

I wrote up a little script for calling the Governor that allows you to lodge complaints about Trump's growing meddling in New York City's affairs if you want to make one call instead of two. 518-474-8390

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Driving all the way up Maine tonight/tomorrow - anyone have a favorite dispensary off 95 between Kittery and Bangor or past Bangor near Rts. 9, 192, 189? I know that covers a lot of ground but going that way anyway and would love some recos if you got em
