Do your duty, NY. I voted for @repespaillat.bsky.social

Translation: conservative funded super PACs are pushing “progressive” challengers to competent incumbents and blaming Democrats for the mess R’s have caused, to drive a wedge between voters and maintain their sick, selfish grip on power.

The sun is rising and it’s the day after Farter’s Day, which means only one thing in my family - my one day a year of flatulence impunity is over.

Google “Russian cursive” and compare it to Trump’s signature. And tell me Krasnov isn’t still a Russian agent.

If a Democratic president started a war of choice, spent $100s of billions, blew up international military & economic alliances, then completely surrendered giving opposing nation $100s of billions in reparations while empowering their anti-US regime: Corporate Media would have justly crucified him.

Again, “pallets of cash for Iran”. But now Republicans approve.

My biggest question about the UFC fight at the White House and about the Kennedy Center is: When we are going to get accountability for the people in the Epstein Files?

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

Please god let this close the portal to Hell the Cubs opened in 2016

Why doesn’t President Bone Spurs go to San Antonio instead and give them his bad mojo? You would think he would be a spurs fan with his bone spurs and all.

“I urge everyone to look at the celebrations in the streets of New York after the Knicks won Wednesday night and imagine what the celebration will look like after the Republicans are soundly defeated in the midterms.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

One year ago.

Folks even Joyce Carol Oates is writing about the Knicks

Trump mocked E. Jean Carroll's rape allegation, saying she "loved it" and that rape was "very sexy." A jury later found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. In 2024, 77 million Americans still chose him. - History will judge that decision.

Don’t worry, we are two or three days away from peace in the Middle East.

Now you are hitting close to home. Class of 94

Well, it looks like we found the waste, fraud and abuse - again!

We are well past the point where, if it’s measured in dollars, electing Donald Trump has cost the country more than paying reparations for slavery.

We are living in a different fact environment. I just met a man on the subway, NYC resident since 1960s and immigrant from Latin America, who told me all the talking points about how anti-ICE protestors are violent, Mamdani is a crazy communist, etc. etc. I asked for evidence. “It’s coming!” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Derrick Coleman declined his Mobile Sports Hall of Fame induction, saying he could not accept the honor while Black voters face diminished representation under newly approved congressional maps. “We cannot settle for silence,” Coleman said.

Knicks star Karl Anthony Towns made a touching tribute to his late mother after playing in the first NBA Finals game. His mom died from COVID, and KAT has been a long standing advocate of vaccines, saying he hopes others won’t experience the kind of loss he has.

Is anyone going to tell the @postopinions.bsky.social WaPo that he said the war was over multiple times? And that it would be quick and painless? And that he didn’t even anticipate them closing the Strait of Hormuz? And that we can even get a clear objective, except maybe “reinstate the JCPOA”?

When I think about how my father cut hair all day for nearly 50 years as a barber, snip snip, earning a dollar at a time, relying on tips and frugality to feed our family. Cutting corners and saving for the American dream…These numbers are mind boggling.

Love Deluxe and a book about the history of Math. Now that’s a Saturday night!

Young MC has joined Morris Day in announcing he won't be performing for the Freedom 250 concert which was announced all of 12 hours ago. I've been working concerts since 1996 and this is one of the strangest things I've ever seen. It's looking very much like the talent buyer lied to the artists.

The President of the United States is a liar.

It it certainly isn’t reported enough. The agreement that Obama had with Iran was a perfectly good one. No nukes, no uranium enrichment. And the Strait of Hormuz was open. The only problem with it? It didn’t have trump’s name on it, so he tore it up, and this is where we are now.

My latest piece in @deardean22.bsky.social - on teachers and following up. Did your teachers really care about you? www.yumpu.com/en/document/...

Obama also returned frozen Iranian assets when he made his deal in 2016. Of course, that was only $1.7 billion. And Obama got a rigorous, enforceable agreement which would prevent Iran from developing nukes. Which Trump promptly tore up the minute he took office, presumably so he could do this.

So, essentially, we’re paying a murderous Iranian regime $25 billion to end the war Trump and Netanyahu started and go back to the previous status quo, without a nuclear deal? Man, I’m starting to think this wasn’t well planned.

This is generational level trauma. These people want to bury the past behavior of racist and sexist Americans, not because they are ashamed of it but because they are emulating it.

In a response to the long-debunked "retail theft epidemic," the House voted 348 to 60 for a bill that would exacerbate mass incarceration by sweeping more low-level crime into the federal system and exacerbate the criminalization of poverty. TY to the 59 Democrats who voted NO (see below).

In the future, the Roberts Court should be given zero deference when it comes to precedent. Zero. It’s the same deference they’ve given anything that gets in the way of their obvious political project, including established law, historical record, and the naked truth.

Taney Roberts, just doin’ his thang

Timeless classic now, in the Dobbs era. “They’ll make it a privilege, not a right, accessible only to the rich.” Calling out fascists who are not actually pro-life. “What type of shit is that? Orwellian in fact.” Every word is prescient, 30+ years ago. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3DfM...

This call for a boycott accurately says “confederate states” and not “formerly confederate states,” I thought that was interesting. This would be some use of power!

A Mother’s Day wish is for all the adopted kids out there. Listen to DMC, he wants his biological mom to know, “I’m alright, Ma.” I hope you’re alright too. m.youtube.com/watch?v=8bbS...

Everyone laughed when Trump said he ended 7 or 8 wars around the world. But who’s laughing now? He’s ended the war in Iran 17 times already!

The keep changing definitions, rewriting history and creating their own narratives. Most of the MSM just goes along with it. They are normalizing all of this, including pedophilia and rape.

My thoughts are that this prediction is not looking great.

Kamala Harris was Right about Everything!
