The Knicks are one win away from making the Eastern Conference Finals for two straight seasons for the first time since 1999 and 2000

EXCLUSIVE: A Long Island school district has settled a lawsuit with a former student for $125k after they erased her artwork in the school parking lot of a watermelon and a keffiyeh, both symbols of Palestinian solidarity. But what she really wanted—a public apology—ultimately eluded her. My story:

Comedian Druski has posted a new viral skit making fun of British actors playing Americans

This is my favorite Druski skit. Spot on. 🤣 British actors took all the jobs.

I don’t respect the decision of the Virginia Supreme Court

Louisiana v. Callais will “probably go down in the history book as one of three of the worst Supreme Court decisions in the history of this nation,” said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. From @jonshorman.bsky.social.

#MusicHistory On this day 1984, Bob Marley’s iconic greatest hits compilation Legend was released on Island Records. Legend is the best-selling reggae album of all time, certified 18× Platinum in the US. It logged 885 nonconsecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 (2nd only to Dark Side of the Moon).

Gustav Klimt was 17 years old in 1879 when he drew (with charcoal and black chalk) this portrait of a young girl. His superb technical ability as a draughtsman is evident even as a teenager in the way he uses shadow to create a three-dimensional picture on paper.

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."

I'd love a corollary from 1920s Moscow media.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

We are being stripped of our right to fair elections. Our judicial system has been corrupted.

The Great Re-Whitening of America is upon us.

This dog was a three term mayor of Whoville.

She better than me. I'da been laughing my ass off.

A Georgia couple who terrorized a Black family at a child's birthday party with Confederate flags, racial slurs, guns, and death threats were sentenced for a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years; Kyla Norton got 15.

Michelle Obama warned everyone. Kamala Harris warned everyone. Hillary Clinton warned everyone.

🔥 @sekoufranklin.bsky.social : “A stain on the legacy of Tennessee.” Sekou put on a clinic, schooling Tennessee Senate Republicans about why Sen. Jack Johnson’s bill carrying (racist) water for @GovBillLee & Trump and stripping representation from majority-Black Memphis would be a disgrace.

At this point, I think he is just trolling us.

I wonder if James Comey now regrets using Hillary and her emails to subvert an election?

It’s too expensive to add solar panels to new homes but it’s absolutely fine to install mini data centres at homes apparently. I want everyone involved in this to be thrown to the CROCODILES. www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

In general when regular people are using credit cards for basic needs it’s because they can’t afford the expense. It’s not to generate points or get into the platinum lounge at the airport. Can someone get that message to the oligarchs running our government

White people have a hard-on for fucking over Black people. They're stuck in the 18th Century.

The day you can undo a school bombing and killing 165+ girls, is the day I can forgive this administration.

This is the Orobouros of Whiteness. White people place themselves at the center and therefore cannot see themselves as blatant political actors. Here's a man struggling with understanding just how racist he is.

While obviously this is false, I think probably Roberts and some of the others sincerely believe it. There’s a certain kind of doublethink that kicks in with certain spheres of ideological work where people understand the partisan assignment at one level, but conceal their motives from themselves.

I got an invite to my 40th high school reunion. I hated all of them 40 years ago, so why would I ever go to that shit? How the fuck did these pricks track me down. I haven’t seen or talked to anyone in my graduating class in 35 years?

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

America is still business as usual.

We've gone from Black Live Matter to Who Let All These Black People Vote.

lol I genuinely love reminding people that the world is about to get a lot BLACKER. It tickles me to no end. #blacksky

If Minnesota wins the title, it's a fuck you to ICE.

White supremacy has a price.

This is the byproduct of voting for a Republican in any election now. They absolutely do not care about your daily struggles in life, they just want money, power, and control. Stop voting for Republican candidates, this is their agenda.

McDonalds shutting down self-serve drinks feels like one of those "cost cutting" measures that's just going to pancake on arrival and circle around to creating a demand for more cashiers and labor and get quietly discontinued a year later.

Yeah, the idea that someone should stoically accept a constant stream of racism if they’re a “large account” so people don’t have to accept how much of this stuff is out there is bullshit, imo.
