The New York State Liquor Authority nixed a longstanding law that on-premises liquor license applicants disclose whether customer dancing will be permitted at their bar or restaurant. So, that’s nice. pix11.com/news/local-n...

John Rushing, @aljazeera.com's Fault Lines correspondent's wins News Emmy award for "Kids Under Fire". Stated "the irony of accepting an award for covering a genocide from the very country than enables that genocide", emphasised how there are "no free people without a free press" #Gaza #StopGenocide

The way the media keeps calling E Jean Carroll an “accuser” like she didn’t already win her day in court is shameful.

@mayor.nyc.gov In light of the passing of Sonny Rollins today, let’s rename the Williamsburg Bridge, which he practiced on every day from 1959-1961, in his honor! www.theguardian.com/music/2022/j...

The measure was approved by a wide margin of more than 2 to 1, reflecting the depth of dismay in one of New York’s most progressive and well-heeled neighborhoods at Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/n...

It’s a good day for Greater Park Slope. And the voting results do not surprise me. The movement to reset and rectify U.S. foreign policy towards Palestine and Israel is much stronger than most people, including its own adherents, think, and rapidly growing, thank god

Some outstanding moments here "I'm going to rule that out of order because it's not about produce" "I'm just going to define germane" aka the coop meeting version of a subtweet "should we take more tech support questions? NO!! WE'RE MOVING ON!"

More than 2/3 of the 6700+ members on this massive Zoom meeting voted to boycott. It passes!

Yay @foodcoop.bsky.social friends! Simple majority vote restored! 2nd vote in the next hour…jump on this enormous 6000+ member Zoom if you’ve wandered off…

I will have soo much more to say about this but putting an apology for the Catholic Church permitting slavery in the context of how AI is changing work is a bold yet theologically boss move

👀 "Conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally." That's what the Canal Street subway station needs. (In spite of many years of attempts, engineers can't stop the seeping water.)

My family always listened to CBS World News Roundup at 6pm in the 1970s. Then I was a reporter for CBS Ithaca affiliate WHCU in 1985-87. Pay and status were below print and TV, but radio was cool, and CBS was the most serious network. Tonight CBS radio ends service (to 700 stations) after 99 years.

"They" didn't leak Trump's tax returns. A contractor leaked Trump's returns while Trump was president and Biden's DOJ indicted and convicted the leaker!

The contractor who stole Trump's tax returns stole data from thousands of people and leaked it the the NYT and ProPublica. Do all those people get $2 billion to pay off their friends?

No Mamdani veto override? The City Council Speaker is preparing to re-introduce a limited version of a controversial bill that would establish anti-protest “buffer zones” around schools.

Our NYC City Council absolutely has more important things to do. Shame on Julie Menin.

Hey NYC, holler at your state senate & assembly reps. Rotten loser commission shouldn’t exist and should not use taxpayer dollars to tie this up in court.

I went all in on Outlander & the prequel. Minor plot point: Dougal’s wife is a lesbian.

How to steal back the future: Boots Riley on his "best film yet"

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU starts as a movie about a black guy who gets ahead in telemarketing because he can do a white voice, and by the end it's about a revolution led by human-horse hybrids called Equisapiens. Now Boots Riley has made a second movie.

USAID played a major role in containing previous outbreaks. Now it no longer exists, the US left WHO, cut CDC funding, and is deporting third-country immigrants to Congo.

You’ve probably had your limit at this point, please read this explanation of what happened yesterday and share it widely. It’s more important than ever to make sure people understand why we have to vote for democracy and we have to get started now if we want to be able to vote.

Incredible work from photographer Nicole Hester of the Tennessean: Attempting to attend a Senate Committee meeting about redistricting affecting his own city, state Rep. Justin Pearson is denied entry by the Sergeant at Arms, May 6, 2026.

Dan Goldman is out there right now like “I am very disappointed with Netanyahu, and also I am going to continue to unconditionally support everything he does” as if he’s Susan Collins being concerned about the behavior of Trump.
