At Columbia University, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez delivers a powerful speech discussing the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israeli military operations in Gaza and the West Bank and explaining why Spain firmly opposed both. It got no coverage in US media, as usual.

you look at all of this and it tells a very clear and unmistakable story no matter what the conservative justices say at conferences or in interviews or whatever they tell themselves

Asked this guy how he felt about choking women today as he stared down at us all from the roof. He proudly declared he likes it.

major blinks of the second Trump term: -firing Kimmel -canceling congestion pricing -sending national guard to Chicago any others that I’m missing?

dude never heard of LA?

My neighbor was absolutely not interested in my small talk that I made as we got to the front door at the same time. " Oh nice you got black cherry... That's my favorite Seltzer flavor. That or orange vanilla."

We asked our 10 + 7yo to join us in making a family decision to boycott. It was the 1st time the kids were actively engaged in the boycott and had to give something up that’s very important to them. And it was the *best* decision because based off of n=1 they’re all OH WOW, BOYCOTTS WORK.

genuinely crying at this one

donald trump is going through full brandonization at an alarming rate

The bar is so low that cynical jokes about general strikes are made to deride any mobilization. Mobilization is framed as this radical, far left activity that erases decades of history of a leading world democracy that built multi-ethnic, cross racial solidarity through *constant* agitation.

People keep crying that it’s more complicated than this but I think we have 9 months of data to conclude that never before have Americans been prepared to make themselves heard. We simply have no leaders.

Imagine what we could do if national democratic leadership had any interest whatsoever in mobilizing civil society against the most unpopular president of the modern era instead of leaving urban regions to fend for themselves from ethnic pogroms while no kings organizes a protest once every 3 months

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

my new ai device will sit in a beer garden that backs onto a small river and drink three to five pints on a sunny late summer afternoon for you, leaving you free for more meetings and business calls

*TRUMP: VACCINES SHOULD BE SPREAD OUT OVER SMALLER DOSES *TRUMP: MMR VACCINES SHOULD BE TAKEN SEPARATELY *TRUMP: WE WANT NO MERCURY, ALUMINUM IN VACCINES *TRUMP: COULD BE A PROBLEM IF YOU MIX MMR VACCINES and the kicker *TRUMP ON MMR ADVICE: 'THIS IS BASED ON WHAT I FEEL'

the strangeness of the current moment lies in how the administration is consolidating authoritarian power while also being extremely weak

it's kind of wild that SCOTUS essentially rules as if there will be no future Democratic presidents when there will obviously be one, and any attempt to flop on jurisprudence is essentially grounds for court reform

Per THR Kimmel gave DIS management the finger Thursday (post suspension) and refused to apologize, so I would be kinda surprised if that was a condition.

As many have correctly noted, this shit pales in comparison to the numerous crimes the administration has been and will continue to perpetrate. That said, fascism thrives on momentum and a sense of inevitability, so embarrassing public losses matter.

greatest sign they will baptize the tariffs i think

!!! *DISNEY SAYS JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE SHOW TO RETURN ON TUESDAY

Removal protections are gone. Humphrey's Executor is overruled in all but name by the Shadow Docket. Rest in peace to the Presidency, and long live the Monarchy.

These findings in the new Washington Post poll jump off the page: Trump is underwater by 19 points on his handling of the economy (40/59) and underwater by 30 points on his handling of tariffs. By contrast, the same poll found him at +14 net approval on the economy in Oct. 2020.

President Macron has just now announced at the United Nations conference on Palestinian statehood that France has recognized the State of Palestine

Someone should ask Trump whether he agrees with an advisor using this language and displaying this disrespect towards a member of Congress. www.blackenterprise.com/jasmine-croc...

ANDOR was a miracle and fluke, now it’s back to your regularly scheduled Glup Shitto slop until the sun burns up

Hulu's website was refusing to accept my cancellation (🧐) so I had to call to cancel. Took me less than 10 minutes, and I had two separate opportunities to explain that I was canceling because of Disney's enabling of the persecution of the President's critics.

David Petraeus greeting Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the Concordia Summit in NYC. When Petraeus was a 3-star in Iraq in 2004-6, Sharaa was fighting the US as a member of the al-Qaida branch there; when Petraeus was a 4-star, Sharaa was teaching fellow Camp Bucca detainees classical Arabic

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

I'm an American and I hate having a plethora of talented doctors that can cure what ails me.

Got a surf in before work. Only in New York baby.

Serious scholars have examined what happens when we change the number of H1-B visas issued. Cities that get more H1-B immigrants subsequently see the wages of natives *rise* substantially. Skilled immigrants bring new ideas, fill labor shortages and make us all more productive.

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

(Reuters) - South Korea's economy could fall into crisis rivalling its 1997 meltdown if the government accepts current U.S. demands in stalled trade talks without safeguards, President Lee Jae Myung told Reuters. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Sam Bankman-Fried is particularly unlucky. He was found guilty in early 2024 and sentenced to 25 years in prison. If he could've delayed his case, he'd now be partnering with Eric and Don, Jr. on some crypto scam and his net worth would probably be $1 trillion.

I believe the term for this is "economism," or more broadly "cargo cultism," when you use the words that economists use but completely disconnected from their technical meanings. How can there be more "demand" for workers than we are prepared to train and employ? It's a nonsense.

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

There's no more fitting tribute to Charlie Kirk than the one they're giving him right now: nominally Christian survivors on the same grift clambering over one another for more publicity, capped by the shambling, lurching embodiment of everything they long to be. You couldn't write anything meaner

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

It’s so funny how he makes his strongest soldiers the butt of the joke at every opportunity. Just endless humiliation.

Like, DSA's member funded budget is $5 million give or take

Lmao

Hooting and hollering

Democrats have to accept compromises, but it's not that they have to accept pro-life candidates, but it's that they have to let white people with dreads run for office.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.
