A Baptist lady named Ada ran a convalesce out of the house next to my grandparents, taking in poor, sick people who went to her church. She also helped raise my mom and her 15 siblings. Her recipes are always made to have some to give away. This is an ancient, very humble coffee cake.

Home Depot stores have become a prime location for immigration enforcement operations. Pressure on Home Depot is working! Keep it up!!

Before a single strike, several lawyers raised red flags: • No self-defense justification • No organized armed group attacking Americans • No legal basis for killing civilians These concerns were documented and ignored — they appear to have been executions. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Makes as much sense as this goofy peace plan!

Our campaign was anchored in the voices of struggling New Yorkers. Yesterday, we brought those voices straight to the Oval Office. We made clear that housing, safety, and lower costs are what New Yorkers need and what our administration will deliver.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition. #art #pleinair #London #Thames #watercolour

The DNC would rather spend 2 million on consultants and pollsters to tell them they have a messaging problem, than to invest half of that in actually fixing that problem by hiring talented permanent staff.

Wow NYC, we see you @handsoffnyc.bsky.social!! This training is at FULL capacity, they had to turn people away…

i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine "i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

At Remove the Regime - turnout is fantastic. In less great news: Youtube is totally screwing over @jessicadenson07.bsky.social ‘s livestream (3 days in a row), or it’s being jammed somehow 🤷‍♂️. She’s trying to get it up live despite it all, but if they can’t they’ll post it all immediately after

New York will always be a city of immigrants. When we protect the communities who keep this city running and uphold our sanctuary laws, we create a future that’s safer for every New Yorker.

Before state troopers & other cops took over security outside the ICE facility, some of the most brutal verbal assaults on ICE that we witnessed came on weekdays when there were just two women protesting. They eviscerated these guys & you could tell they got under ICE’s skin in ways guys couldn’t.

I tend to agree with this. It certainly would take generations if future Democratic and Anti-Trump Republican leaders continue the Merrick Garland/Joe Biden approach and follow the advice of George McClellan-style Democratic consultants and pundits. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Imagine being RFK Sr and watching what became of Jr.

#OnThisDay Nov 22, 1938: Christmas decorations go up along Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. At the time it was the busiest shopping street between Chicago and LA. The Great Northern Railway station can be seen in the far distance.

Starting to think it may have been a mistake for the population of a liberal democracy to hand the apparatus of the most powerful state in human history to people who are ideologically opposed to the existence of liberal democracy

Amazing turnout in DC today! ✊

I want them to perp walk them in chains and with all force applied to Marios perp walk.

I approve this message.

This red shouldered hawk let me take several close snaps. A lot of birds have of late. I don’t know why. Do they sense my existential despair over our threadbare democracy? Probably not. But I am grateful for every little gift, such as this hawk, that temporarily stops my compulsion to doom scroll.

Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else? What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

Who remembers those early Palantir trades

Plot twist: She’s IN the Epstein files.

"Well, yes, Mamdani and I have our differences. He's a socialist, they say he's a socialist, and I guess he says so too. A democratic socialist, but a socialist. Meanwhile, I'm busy seizing the means of production, forcing a cultural revolution, cracking down on the intelligentsia ...."

Trump endorsed Mamdani today. You know who still hasn't? Chuck Schumer and Senator Gillibrand, both Democrats.

I can't believe I'm about to say this but- do not look to the CDC for public health advice. CDC employees consider joining state public health agencies, collaborations, and consortiums. Don't let RFK ruin your credibility. You worked too hard to have your career linked to his ideology.

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

To the six Democratic lawmakers who made that beautiful video reminding our military members of their duty and obligation to NOT obey illegal orders, I say this: Make MORE of them.

A professor at Harvard released a study that indicates that the death toll on Gaza is close to 400,000 people. Incredible. Just insane. And the USA enabled and sponsored every single death. One of the most disgusting things to happen in my lifetime.

You can say ICE is being used as a political cudgel to demolish democracy, or you can recognize that’s all they ever have been since their inception.

Umm- he is. Maybe not as dnc spokesperson because dnc has their headbup Their ass, but he isndoing exactly this.

My constituent, Vicente Ventura Aguilar, has been missing for over a month after being snatched by immigration officials in South Los Angeles. Yet, CBP and ICE claim he was never in their custody. I’m demanding answers. Please share this—we must find Vicente.

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Every ICE victim was terrorized by one or more perpetrators. Listen to the victims, investigate the ICE agents that attacked them, and press charges. Listen to the victims.

We all know that the “President” who is accusing Democratic lawmakers of seditious behavior actually participated in seditious behavior on national tv.

Market Street in Philadelphia has some gorgeous new raised bike lanes. Love it!

What my theory presupposes is that this CBC newscaster is just a really big fan of Star Trek IV: The One With the Whales. Who wore it better?

Isn't it time Nigel Farage and every other Brexit promoter apologised for the poverty & unemployment caused by the decimation of the British economy and the lies they told "‘GDP reduced by 8%’ – Nine-year study reveals how Brexit decimated UK economy" www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/bre...

ICE agents don’t view themselves as bound by law, and we have neither democracy nor law if they never face justice and accountability.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

I heard Zohran said "You know what people would love you for, sir, is universal health care and a basic income. They would build statues for you, and the very nasty people would suddenly be nice to you" and Trump said "wait really?" and now they're writing executive orders together

Seen on my walk today…PAN

it seems clear that the only hope for the republic is for mamdani just to never leave trump's side for the next three years.
