I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government. In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

Vance is a liar. His mother stole drugs from a hospital. "She became addicted to Vicodin after taking some for a headache, and lost her job and nursing license for stealing drugs from the hospital where she worked. After she was fired, Aikins started using heroin." www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

This is assault. This is fascism. This is evil.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Has Trump said anything about his former “spiritual leader”, Robert Morris, who was just sentenced to 6 months in prison for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl? Will the media even bother to ask him?

When you drag a woman by the hair, beat her and force her to kiss your flag, that’s how you tell the world you are the Good Guys

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote. zohranfornyc.com/register

hey where's the governor who was talking a big fuckin' talk about preventing this from happening, surely no mainline democrat would say a bunch of shit and then just roll over when the rubber hit the road

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

@durbin.senate.gov @jonathanjackson.house.gov Read about the practice of designating labels for the purpose of squashing resistance and dissent. I know it is embarrassing because Biden did the same with the loose use of the label anti-semitic. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

Why Aren't Democrats Raising the Alarm Over Trump’s NSPM-7 "Terrorism Indicators?" @kenklippenstein.bsky.social has obtained a national security memo that the Trump Admin plans to use to attack Americans as potential terrorists for anti-MAGA thought crimes. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

Quand ce bon docteur Grange affirme l'impossibilité d'avoir un air sain « pour des raisons logistiques », je ne peux m'empêcher de penser à la réponse que lui a fait Violet Affleck, et que déjà à l'époque de Snow ou Semmelweis il aurait été du mauvais côté de l'histoire. Drink cholera JC Grange 🙌🏼

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Palestinians have for years pointed out how Microsoft, HPE, AWS — virtually the entire tech industry — has enthusiastically assisted occupation and genocide of Palestinians. Only now, because the tide is turning, can a story like this get mainstream attention. Zionism is in trouble.

I'll just leave this here.

“The time of…Benjamin Netanyahu coming to this city and then making military decisions from this city to kill civilians…has to come to an end.” I asked @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social if he still plans to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to New York. Full interview: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

The Daily Mail has run a number of attack pieces on Violet Affleck after her incredible UN speech advocating for COVID protections including masks and clean air. These attack pieces including a poll on masking in medical facilities. The result? An overwhelming 76% of people support requiring masks!

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

They're just making shit up out of thin air to demonize and make the world more dangerous for a minority that just wants to live their lives peacefully.

The context here, of course, is that the “local broadcasters” Carr is egging on are actually huge conglomerates with a pending merger before his office that would give them (and him) vast control over all broadcast television stations

Yes, quite.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

Our Chair, coordinator of the Irish campaign to boycott Eurovision @zazafl.bsky.social was on Lunchtime Live today (from 4.29) on the welcome news that RTÉ will not take part in Eurovision if apartheid Israel is in the contest. Boycott works! #FreePalestine #BDS www.goloudplayer.com/episodes/rte...

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

Trump confronted by protestors in a DC restaurant…

“They’re taking our jobs” was always a lie. Alabama proved it. Alabama tried a “tough” immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldn’t last a day. They’re not taking your jobs; they’re doing the jobs you won’t do.

Andrew Cuomo believes in nothing beyond his own power. He will sell out our city to get it back.

My dad told me his password is: MickeyMinnieGoofyDonaldPlutoHuey LouieDewevDublin. Because he was told his password had to contain 8 characters and at least one Capital.

Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
