Glue. They became glue.

Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.    Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.     Watch the full video at Youtube.com/nycmayorsoffice

Counterpoint, the Olympics should make rowing happen in the 50m pool.

shocked that every QT of this is NOT "food ways could often be different"

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "You actually want to reach out to the county, this is the city."

“Hey BART, can you help us convince suburban residents to vote for the transit funding measure this year?” BART: “I got you.”

If you just ended this Stephen Miller thread w/ "and that's why America is the shining city on a hill" it would be a Reagan speech making the positive case for liberal immigration policies.

While heading to the shop, I saw a couple of parents beaming at their baby. Thank goodness I was able to run through four lanes of heavy traffic to explain parental joy is just a bourgeois distraction from relentless devotion to class struggle. Two more consciousnesses raised!

Strong statement from the Pipefitters' union on the killing of Alex Pretti: 'This state-sponsored murder has no place in our society.'

We’ve got ourselves another candidate for Mayor. (Tracy Jensen already announced. Tony Daysog widely expected to run.)🍿 #alamtg

I would workshop "You mistreated indigenous people so now the United States of America is stepping in"

How many conservatives think that because Democrats believe in gun control they shouldn’t actually be protected by the second amendment?

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I've been revisiting Thomas Paine's essays recently because he is the Founder for our moment: An immigrant and a true poster.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

Deeply unfair that New York City progressives get Mamdani while San Francisco is stuck with this nonsense

LOL!

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

Here’s the really bad part: over time, this dynamic breeds bigger and bigger crises. Markets keep updating their beliefs about TACO, so it takes ever more extreme actions to convince them he might not TACO. Buckle up.

Welcome to the clicktatorship, where everything is content

Telling when they’re not afraid of being labeled as funding Trump’s authoritarian crackdowns.

The TACO cycle: Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank. So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

I’m loving you right now, #alamtg. Normal people, and especially their kids make me want to work harder. My heart is full. But I’m sad I have to experience this via 5 different group chats on 4 different apps instead of one hashtag.

How on earth did we lose to these people?

Dude.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
