My new @thenation.com column is about Nina Schwalbe, scientist and public health expert running for Jerry Nadler's old seat in Manhattan's 12th distract. Getting no media, not much money, but she'd be good. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Basically every national story in politics these days is “unqualified person terrible at job, disaster results; person promoted”

So much wrong in a single sentence: "It can be easy to feel helpless, like we have no control over the tides of change that are leaving us in the dust." -- Tariq Kenney-Shawa, The Nation. "Like" should be "as if," no one controls the tides, do tides leave one in the dust? @bcdreyer.social

Tony nominee John Lithgow is terrific as Roald Dahl in ‘Giant,’ a play that places itself at the center of the antisemitism vs anti-Zionism debate.

This is evil collective punishment.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Way to go, Mayor Mamdani!

Congrats to my son Don (?) and his wife probably on their wedding or similar event, such as birthday party. I cannot attend, since there's a quarterback who still thinks I'm fine to be around in public. Best of luck to Eric or whatever kid I said a minute ago and his new Wife 2 or maybe 3.

Happy Saturday! We have overcast skies today on Cape Cod but there was just enough light peering through pre-sunrise clouds to create a dramatic sky on Nauset Beach. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

"According to statistics compiled by the ACLU, women who kill their partners will spend an average of 15 years behind bars, while men who kill their female partners serve much shorter sentences, on average between 2 to 6 years."

WTAF with how moms are treated?! Child care costs more than college. Health care costs are through the roof. Gas, utility bills & food costs are skyrocketing. Republicans have the majority in Congress & are undermining moms. Happy Mother’s Day @msnownews.bsky.social www.ms.now/opinion/moth...
