We can dunk on Silver. But the folks wildly hyping Adams in 2021-22 included Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden. The desire for a prominent BLACK politician who was pro-police and hostile to the BLM movement was broadly shared within elite Dem circles. They ignored obvious signs he was corrupt and inept.

If you’re wondering why I’m not really posting garden pictures this year it’s because it just feels really weird and kinda wrong to demonstrate food abundance when there are so many starving folks from Gaza on here.

incredibly bizarre that the big controversy theatre in NYC politics is that a candidate living in a $2300 1-bedroom is stealing from the poor, etc. we've lost the plot. everyone should live in rent stabilized units! no one should be paying $5000 for a 1 bedroom!!!

I don't care for the 'age restriction' policies I've seen - not because they're particularly invasive (from what I've seen, they're more of an easily bypassable annoyance), but because they're pointless busywork giving the illusion of a solution - but the freakout over them seems bizarre to me

We knew this breach of the ceasefire was coming: Israel is like the shark that can’t live if it is not moving forward—but with the Zionists it seems to be killing innocent Palestinians that keeps them breathing.

Fucking hell, Israel has opened across-the-territory airstrikes on their Gaza concentration camp. They're just exterminating at this point. Israel rejected the peace offerings over and over, they broke the cease-fires over and over, and now they're bombing schools, refugee camps, children, humans.
