I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

🧪A few more hours to go…

A concept the media writ large - because most of them and their bosses are white - refuses to grasp: Trump ran an identity politics campaign, twice. Kamala Harris and Barack Obama did not.

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2046...

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Based on my casual observation of airline travelers in two cities absolutely NO ONE took the advice of Sean Duffy. It’s a festival of sweat pants, yoga pants, jeans, leggings and pajama pants which is glorious!

People are praising Vic Fangio for holding Josh Allen and the Bills offense to only 12 points, but Kevin Patullo managed to hold the Super Bowl MVP surrounded by the offensive player of the year, two top end WRs, and a very strong offensive line to only 13. Which is more impressive, I ask you?

Speaking as someone who just wrote a book on the Manhattan Project, I can assure you that refugee immigrants were the *entire* reason the US mastered the atom first. The most chilling part of writing my book was reading about them fleeing fascism … abroad. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

A fascinating case of "what variable have you actually accidentally measured?"

No punishment is too great for a man who would drug and drive his own 6–8-year-old daughter to “pedophile ring parties.” Sit with this: if this report is accurate, this child was horrifically abused. I wonder whether she’s been able to build any kind of life for herself. 🧵

Pay close attention to who is saying that 14 year-olds *can* consent to sex with trump and other damp billionaires but *can’t* consent to gender affirming care provided in close and collaborative partnership with their doctor.

Kennedy says adding folic acid to tortillas is “waging war” against poor residents. Folic acid has long been added to cereal and bread and the CDC website currently says it’s safe for those with the mutation mentioned in the thread Kennedy is replying to.

My whole life we’ve been told that The US is simply too big to have high speed rail

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Anyone who supports this kind of thing, whatever their reason, has a broken soul. Anyone who supports or defends the political regime that activates it cannot be trusted on any level.

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is a story about the need for inclusive hiring practices which recognize everyone's unique talents and refuse to see "difference" as an automatic negative. The Republicans in that story were the other reindeer who laughed at Rudolph and called him names. 🦌

"Defend your culture" Dystopian shit going on in the USA jobs listings.

My god Blueskyers are out of touch. The whole music video that “photo” is taken from (it’s a still from a video, okay?, you gotta know the context) is Sabrina demonstrating deplorable absurdities. Hence smoking with a fork while pumping gas… it’s unbecoming is the point: youtu.be/aSugSGCC12I?...

Journalists posting screenshots of the Epstein docs should not crop out the control number in the bottom right corner. These docs are not an "exclusive," you don't have to make it harder for people to find and validate the original information.

"Like Amazon Prime, but with human beings."

This is the poster child for how broken the media is right now. Almost every story is some reductive version of "she got a zero from a trans teacher for quoting the bible" which is not close to the reason she got a zero. All the details were there from the onset, just ignored.

There's a lot of money in being a dim bully who was oppressed by nothing but their own mediocrity.

That is a LOT more lucrative than being good at swimming

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

The one note of caution I’d have is he had similarly dismal numbers in 2017. But hopefully this go-round Dems won’t decide to pivot to kitchen-table issues. The entire MAGA movement must be crushed into dust and the earth where it grew salted. No hesitation this time.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now
