China banning investment in Israel

So in short: thank the universe that Z's our mayor, but don't interpret his endorsement as a statement of values. See it for what it is: the reality of his immense vulnerability to Hochul in protecting NYC from the governor's ability to impose austerity on NYC. It's up to us to do what Z cannot.

I usually avoid sharing what feels like "inside baseball" political analysis here, but this merits an exception because of the stakes + scale involved. Zohran isn't "wrong" to endorse Hochul; he has no choice. But for primary voters to back Hochul would definitely be unwise. Let me explain why. 🧵

sometimes you’re feeling down, worn out, but then…

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

When the Bush administration was allowed to ban stem cell research using religious fanaticism as justification even at the time it was frustratingly clear that they sentenced so many people to unnecessary suffering & premature death smh Glad China & other countries pressed on

I’ve watched this about 20 times already

The Flood #MerMay

new frogs

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

The old franchise system has failed. All hail the new franchise system.

Star trek had a lot of hard lines over the years, but this remains the fucking hardest

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

This is the stuff that marks someone as a danger. Not even just that he intends to sneak back into an organizing space where he’s been told that he’s unwanted; the need to publicly brag about it, and make sure everyone knows. You cannot do collaborative work with someone who only centers himself.

The Illinois Department of Public Health sidestepped the federal government this week by independently joining the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). It is the second state to do so, after California joined the network last month. trib.al/0ecIsxF

Why do landlords think they have the unique right to an investment that will never fail

this guy is getting appropriately ratioed but I want to summarise the issue very succinctly, as somebody who owns a house and *has been a landlord*: everybody needs shelter. Housing is an essential service. Like water, like electricity, like the roads. Therefore, it should not be an investment.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader. One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa": www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-ident...

This is very, very good.

Having analyzed this frame by frame like the Zapruder film my verdict is the president did indeed have an Unidentified Ass Event at 0:34

To defeat the Soviet Union, the United States reabsorbed Nazism and devoted itself to free market nihilism. Trump is the chestbursting alien phase of the process

Blurb from Palestine

I do think CS Lewis was on to something when he wrote about the lure of being in the Inner Ring. (“Of all the passions, the passion for the Inner Ring is most skillful in making a man who is not yet a very bad man do very bad things”) www.lewissociety.org/innerring/

the funny thing about this redaction is that you can google the title of this talk and the first hit is the guy who gave it

Schumer said this TODAY. 🚮

Inside those concentration camps, people hit by measles will lose any previously acquired immunity, whether from vax or previous infection, and become vulnerable to every other disease there. That is why when the measles vaccine was invented, childhood mortality from *all causes* declined.

A key thing to remember when seeing that measles is in the concentration camps, is that covid killed more cops than any other cause. Cops are superspreaders, a gestapo jumping around the country to terrorize one city after another, kidnapping people into concentration camps, is a perfect storm.

CBS censored Billie Eilish saying “Fuck ICE” at the Grammys. Here’s the uncensored version:

How many people has border patrol executed in cold blood at the border that we don’t know about?

Ok this shit slapped

Healthy dinner for this week

All the rich people doing the most evil shit imaginable in a mansion while they lie and tell Elon they’re meeting at 3 am at a golf course right before the sprinklers turn on

there’s no way we get through a Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny and Green Day without a total crashout from the president

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Do your civic duty as Chicagoans y’all.

Every major website/company now: Yeah if we find out you post or look at a boob we will freeze all your accounts without warning The CEO of every major website/company over Gmail: Oh Jeffrey you are simply a hoot. Lovely spending time with you on Party Pervert Pedo Island Jeffrey Epstein: yeag ,

Reminder to Texans that tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to register to vote in the March elections

he kept relating everything to the work-related incident that resulted in the loss of one hand. I feel like that's a pretty formative experience, so I kind of get where he was coming from, but a lot of his statements wound up being things like "this isn't what we did when I lost my hand."

my "If I actually wanted to spend my time partying with young women, it would be trivial for me to do so without the help of a creepy loser like Epstein and I would still have 99% of my mind available to think about other things" t-shirt has ppl asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

biden's DOJ sat on these same files and he let a fascist get elected rather than release them to the public
