Ummm. Boston? Are you paying attention? @mayorwu.boston.gov Just do whatever Mayor Mamdani’s doing.

A jury with zero Black faces in a county that's 10.8% Black to judge Karmelo Anthony. His lawyers filed a Batson challenge — the legal mechanism that exists because this country has a documented history of cleaning Black people out of jury boxes. I'm seething. medium.com/@drleocroft/...

ALSO, this 👇 ought to give you a pretty good idea of how much respect MAGA has for women if portraying a candidate as a woman is the worst slur they can imagine.

Seeing this on the heels of reading Heidi Blake’s disturbing & excellent 6/15 NYer piece “Web of Abuse” about the depraved Tate bros & the toxic manosphere is…jarring. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Medicaid recipients: 36% children 10% disabled 10% seniors 65+ Dr Oz & Republicans to them: “Get a job!” The rest are ppl w/ low income. (Maybe companies should pay living wages so ppl can AFFORD healthcare.)

Imagine being the most decorated gymnast in history, almost dying, and media referring to you as “NFL Wife” as your greatest achievement.😑 Misogyny is a helluva drug. Smh. Truly hope Simone is safe and makes a full recovery. What a horrible experience.

This needs to be understood.

FFS 🤦🏻 Somalian referee Omar Artan has reportedly been denied entry to the USA. FIFA had selected the official to be at the World Cup, but he was stopped by immigration officials in Miami. He is rated one of Africa’s top referees but apparently even a diplomatic passport isn’t enough if your Somali

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He's just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations, special interests, and billionaires to buy and sell politicians to rig the system against us.

Rhododendron on steroids kind of showing off.

Stochastic-Terrorist in Chief could be stopped TODAY if Republicans would grow spines. Abysmal betrayal of USA 🇺🇸

How to ward off the curse coming for the Knicks in game 3 of the finals. #nba #finals #nyc #witch #summerhouse and don’t let a single Knick take a pic with him! Just ask Saquon Barkley what that does to your stats.

Go, Knicks! Go, fans! I wanna hear that booing in Boston.

Look if you really don’t understand by now that it’s about the misogyny, then probably you — men and women alike — are part of the system that preserves American misogyny as wildly out of alignment with, and now helping to subsume, our democracy There’s no “yes but” It’s a national embarrassment

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year. Renewables? Barely a fraction. We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience. Share if you’ve had enough. 🌍✊

This is who we are supposed to be as a society. Let’s not lose sight of that amidst all these chaos .. #SheShed

We need to open more commuter train lines all around this country. Commuter rail needs to be more accessible. Unfortunately the opposite is happening under the guise of profits. Commuter rail isn't supposed to be profitable but provide a service to the public regardless of income.

This is a brilliant idea to force corporations to either raise pay rates for their employees or lower their payouts to CEOs 💯💯💯🎯

Ivanka’s PR team has its work cut out for it amid the Albania protests. They’re going to have curate a SLEW of pics of her & mobbed-up Jared in new outfits pretending to be human.

The marinara is SENSITIVE. “…having the capacity to receive or respond to stimuli, or to be easily affected by external influences, including emotions, conditions, or physical”

I wish someone would explain to me the point of Congressional hearings if there are NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES for OBVIOUS & ABUNDANT LIES!

Every stop reminded me that joy is not only personal. It is shared air. Strangers became a chorus. People waved from windows. Elders nodded. Children laughed without needing a reason. Some people told me they had been carrying heaviness for years. gurdeeppandher.substack.com/p/one-day-i-...

I taught PERSEPOLIS for years. Marjane Satrapi demystified Iran & Iranians & opened a door that kids enthusiastically passed through. I hope they’ve been thinking of her work/humanity & the Iranian ppl during this disastrous war in Iran—especially now at her untimely death. RIP Ms Satrapi.

People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose. The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥 It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.” Connecting bike-riding with reduced dementia risk. #UrbanTruth

“Every $1300 New York invested in new bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 added year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents.” Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment. #CityMakingMath www.reuters.com/article/busi...

I’ve been re-watching Twilight Zone It hits harder now. Rod Serling was a soulful, humane writer. He’d be heartbroken at what Republicans have wrought. The series excoriated blind conformity, tech w/o morals, power-mad politicians, bigotry, & more. The show would not be made today.

🌈 **Happy Pride Month!** 🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, I want to take a moment to share how deeply this month resonates with me, especially as a family member of those who identify as LGBTQ+. *please read the whole post*🧵👇🔄

$800 MILLION. That's how much more Americans are paying every day on gas thanks to Trump's war with Iran. But guess who's getting richer? Chevron CEO: +$104M ConocoPhillips CEO: +$54M Baker Hughes CEO: +$33M The same Big Oil executives Trump promised to deliver for on day one.

Delaney Hall is a concentration camp paid for by our tax dollars to feed the money-hoarders coloradotimesrecorder.com/2025/03/immi...

Spike Lee on his hands and knees for the white man who owns the team while they gut the vote. He screamed "wake up" at us for forty years. Then he laid down. New piece is live now. medium.com/@drleocroft/...

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

Important words from British journalist and former combat medic Ignatius Ivlev-Yorke: "The concept of 'Ukrainian resilience' doesn’t do justice to the real struggle.When we see a person drowning&saving themselves, we call it resilience&admire them - instead of admitting we should have helped more
