Remove all water fm the Reflecting Pool. Replace w/ rich soil, & turn it into the new Jaqueline Kennedy Rose Garden, w/ walkways & center path that leads all the way to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. W/a sprinkler system to keep the plants watered, to replace the one destroyed by the Trumps.

Reality based people need to be represented by fighters who fight back. The only thing "moderates" are doing in response to unprecedented destruction and abuse is appeasement. Where it ends- dunno. One has to fight for one's vision of better. The path/process *is* going to be messy.

Brad Lander may not end up as a national figure on the level of AOC or Mamdani, but more than just about anyone else in the US right now, he feels like he has the capacity to help break the assumption that "Jewish politics" in the US means AIPAC. And that is a wonderful thing.

New Yorkers think they’re so much cooler than everyone else with their Zohran Mamdani and their leftist congressional candidates and their championship trophy and they are correct

Thank you to the people of NY-10. To everyone who knocked a door, made a call, or donated a dollar: this win is only possible because of your belief in a people’s movement. (1/3)

Really worth reading dept: 100% recommend reading this just-now-unsealed shareholder complaint about utter corruption of Trump/Intel deal. Villain #1: Trump et al. Villain #2: Skadden Arps. Doing "pro bono" work for Trump. Check it out. Seriously. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Before 2026,The Knicks Won Their Last Championship In 1973. 15 Months Later, Nixon Resigned.......

it's because the major questions doctrine is a crock of shit

Hey NY, drink some water and get to the polls.

Someone please mash up Narcissus and the Portrait of Dorian Gray into the tale a demented man who thought to see his own magnificence reflected in, well, a Reflecting Pool and instead saw failure and algae and decay.

Saw a newsflash that Iran will be "allowed" to sell oil in dollars. Have not though observed anyone noticing how the Iranian oil drama exactly follows the physical abuser script. Even the AP is using abuser narrative. Iran is now a little rapist side piece.

Luigi Mangione should just announce his run for American President then no matter the outcome of the case America can’t send him to prison.

That's exactly what it's about.

Strong performances in orange today. The Dutch, so impressive. And Ivory Coast, very strong in the first half against Germany. Just wore down, lost focus. Should have been a draw.

I can't believe all these people are in the dangerous street when we could have two cars driving down it at 2 mph instead! did any of these people even buy groceries here? what is Seattle coming to???

There’s a world where we had to listen to an Andrew Cuomo speech about the 2026 New York Knicks. Instead we got Mamdani doing the rock away with Karl-Anthony Towns.

I really need people to understand that Palantir is not an engineering marvel; it is a multi-billion-dollar contractual containment layer wrapped around the world's ugliest legacy open source frankenstack. It's a shitty Snowflake for companies that don't know how to do data engineering.

I was, of course, watching the World Cup. So, as I'm going back and watching the Obama library and the Knicks celebration on youtube, this is so true. This is so so true.

Mamdani giving a speech at the Knicks victory parade and Obama giving a speech at the opening of his Presidential Library on the same day is the BARBENHEIMER of oratory, it's MAMBAMA

Mamdani and then both Obamas giving speeches today

They should leave it in service. I wanna ride the tagged-up Knicks train.

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Women make up nearly 50% of the NFL fan base and make 60 to 80% of household purchases. It would be so easy for us to tell the NFL we’re boycotting until they get their shit together when it comes to violence against women. But for some reason, we just never do it.

Seems terrifyingly correct

This is what I mean when I say RFK should be considered the GOP frontrunner for 2028. The base needs a non-embarrassing, inheritable cult and Evil Dr. Spaceman over here has the vice president exclusively eating the ingredients to a fart. Nobody else has got that Jim Jones juice.

The vanquished counterparty has to deliver on the terms they submitted to. $300b, US Navy departure, lifting of sanctions. And then maybe delay the opening a bit to finish arranging the toll. Winners get to make the rules.

This is a split screen moment for me. Watching @mayor.nyc.gov in the Knicks parade and watching the Obama center open. This brings me A LOT of hope

I have a USB stick from a box of a lady's possessions that were sold at auction. I guess none of her family wanted them, or she didn't have any. I shouldn't have plugged it in (security) but I did. This handwritten note made me cry. If you've lost anyone recently, maybe it will speak to you too.

I think it’d be most appropriate for the Knicks owner to go alone.

Not even the best parts: Iran has a guarantee of non-interference. Iran is no longer subject to sanctions. Iran gets $300B in reparations. Iran tacitly gets to arrange to charge a toll with Oman on Hormuz traffic. Yes, Dear Leader, the Greatest Deal Of All Time. So much better than Obama's.

Right, it’s terrifying to consider the possibility of kids not reporting groomers and abusers if they’re afraid THEY will get in trouble for defying age verification laws.

I love this painting and I have no idea who the artist is.

I would like to be the first to welcome Messi to his new home on Bluesky now that he’s met the age requirement

This match should be interesting! I'll definitely be watching 👀 🍿😆

I'm not going to repeat what he said, but UFC fighter Hokit is a despicable piece of shit. The sponsors, Monster energy drink, Bud Lite, Dodge Ram, and Jose Cuervo have not said a word. I say boycott them.

To whom it may concern, I have also decided to not build nukes I wasn’t building anyway in exchange for $300 billion dollars. Direct deposit preferred. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Don't confuse the regime with the people. Iranian athletes and artists are overcoming impossible obstacles just to pursue their craft. They need our support, not our scorn. Let’s stand with the people, not against them.
