Shame on you, Columbia. Do you stand for anything?

We should be consistent about celebrating students standing up and making noise against injustice, be it chasing a fascist loser out of their classroom or calling out genocide on their quad.

Crucially: a majority of Jewish-Americans aged 18-34 are not “emotionally attached” to Israel. 50% of them say Israel has committed genocide.

Jay: suspends a dozen people entirely on the sayso of an article from The Federalist calling them 'demonic', rewrites ToS after the fact to claim that the mere suggestion of speaking ill of the dead counts as "glorifying violence" Three weeks later:

God, I remember when I warned about all this happening if Americans weren't careful and got told I needed medication

Know what else causes cognitive issues & disabilities? COVID infections. We’ve known this since the beginning but it was shushed up in the rush back to “normal.” This study went from ‘13 to ‘23 so clearly other factors are also at work. But to not also acknowledge COVID’s role is pure foolishness.

Two journalists are set to be tried in Kentucky this week. Their crime? Covering a protest of the immigration detainment of Ayman Soliman, who himself fled persecution for his journalism in Egypt. Soliman’s lawyer called it a “cruel irony.”

stone. cold. and we love to see it.

Donald Trump waxes poetic about his redecoration of the Oval Office. Actually the ornaments are made by a company in Taiwan of polyurethane and have been spray painted gold. He's deluding himself about this, just like everything else.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

I’m not sure how many people ICE needs to kidnap off the streets before we end their reign of terror but now they’ve detained Dr. Ian Roberts, Des Moines School Superintendent.

Did you see Newsom had a twitch streamer on his podcast today who was once caught paying an AI website that created deepfake porn of popular female streamers, including his close friends and his best friend's girlfriend?

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

Since Bluesky has been on one and because the attention-seeking has been wildly successful I'm posting as a reminder to myself as much as anyone else. In this case we're explaining over and over again what is self evident: Black people have a consistent track record of getting free.

Governor Murphy has defunded investment in NJ Transit by $2.4B over 10 years while increasing funding for highway expansions to $24B over 10 years. It is no accident our trains and buses are constantly breaking down. #turnpiketrap
