Mayor Zohran Mamdani is reviving four projects that bit the dust — often at the behest of powerful business interests — under Eric Adams.

Swear to god, so many of these uber rich guys who keep trying to intellectualize and sanitize white supremacy really are the dumbest motherfuckers alive. They constantly say word salad-y nonsense like this that would cause them to fail a fourth grade US history test.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Common sense reading of "For years, there has not been a genuine alternative for these people" is Lowe sees policy of mass deportations to reverse immigration at scale missing. This was being offered pre-2014 by BNP & by old National Front. Lowe pitch is Reform/Ukip much too soft in last decade.

Big mistake here: they’ve foolishly tried their shenanigans on real people who actually matter

Wild to see wealthy Reform politician "explaining" to poor people they don't understand their own experience. Let's make sure every single person in Gorton & Denton (and the country!) knows exactly that Reform is bankrolled by dodgy donors. Mask is off. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclus...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total. The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

The Epstein Files and Israel: Ehud Barak's Preference for 'Quality' Immigrants and Belarusian Girls According to a recording in the Jeffrey Epstein files, the former Israeli prime minister once told Larry Summers about how Israel could now be 'more selective' when taking in Jewish immigrants

Christopher Hale: When Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon moved to take down Pope Francis, they assembled a network: an arch-conservative cardinal, an excommunicated archbishop, a priest defrocked after fathering a child, and a Latvian crypto-bro.

Populist Right news: Rupert Lowe is converting his Restore Britain lobby group into a national political party. Ben Habib of Advance UK (of Judea) is happy and angling for the two of them to combine forces into a single united non-Farage party. (Duncan Bannatyne is also happy, apparently.)

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Finding the whole right wing doubling down on saying the UK is being 'colonised' is interesting because this is coming from the same people who have argued for years thay colonisation was good, actually. So they must now actually be saying migration is good, and the left is misrepresenting them 🤪

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Dude regularly works for Disney, DreamWorks, Netflix and CN so speculate away. But this sucks no matter which studio is doing it, and gross to think some major movie this year is running with a plagiarized image from ChatGPT.
