Went on a terrible run after dinner where I felt like I was going to vomit the entire time and got home and checked my phone to see this awful news, I literally want to cry

You love to see it!! If you are a Jersey City driver and hate being stuck in traffic, this is good news. If the City is willing to put in the supports to enable more car-free households then everyone benefits.

There have been helicopters hovering overhead for 30 minutes and this is the only information I have about what's happening

Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now

I was not emotionally prepared to walk into a coffee shop at 7am and hear that they're playing the entire self-titled Elliott Smith album

Teacher Goes With School-Themed Classroom

The "kitchen table" people are stuck in 1992 "it's the economy, stupid" ideology and ignoring the fact that the US was on the precipice of an unprecedented period of peace & prosperity when that statement was made, and not teetering on the brink of constitutional collapse.

My grandfather used to say "everything is about race and money." As a kid/teen/young adult I thought that was a huge oversimplification but it turns out he was right! There really isn't anything else to it! RIP Gramps, you would have hated this timeline.

I just got back from a run and there was a dead deer on the side of the road, which is weird enough to see in Jersey City but it was a road with a 25mph speed limit, how fast are people driving that they can't avoid a deer???

Newsom is still a non starter for me but his social media team should run comms for the Democrats in the midterms

This from an administration claiming to be “free speech” advocates. op: bbcradio4 (via IG)

I need for a reporter to ask him about this, he will spontaneously combust

lol this is freakin perfect Share among your gym bros

Yes and she and her security detail need to convene a meeting with the only real journalistic outlets we have - The Onion, Wired, and Teen Vogue - and put everything and everyone on blast DO IT GIRL

Wow ok what are we using as a sweetener now? Corn syrup? Corn. Hm. Where do they grow all that corn? I'm sure the corn farmers won't mind losing one bazillion dollars and there will be no downstream impacts of this very sudden change.

Rep Van Drew lives in my hometown (Dennisville, NJ) and used to be a Democrat. The people of Dennisville deserve real leadership and not whatever this is. I hope Raskin takes every opportunity to shine a light on what a sycophantic weasel Van Drew is.

Make no mistake: Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’ As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

I actually got pregnant between doses 1 and 2 of the Moderna vaccine in early 2021 and participated in a CDC study on the effects of the vaccine in pregnant women. (The baby was born at 39 weeks 4 days and was and continues to be exceptionally healthy).

One could argue that every policy trump has implemented has backfired or will backfire spectacularly. Tariffs, ICE raids, tax cuts, entitlement cuts - where are the successes? When do we start winning?

hell yeah

When are we getting a Netflix documentary a la Ocean Gate about SpaceX? Like, do innocent people need to die first or

No one should be detained there. The facility shouldn’t exist. They are kidnapping more people than they can adequately handle across the country and people are already dying in detention.

I had a 3rd marking period conference with a mom last year, her student had the highest grade in class, but the mom had booked the conference to tell me "to my daughter, you are more than a teacher" and I have never treasured anything from a parent more than those words

Sending 700 Marines to LA is an unacceptable militarization of our streets and a poor use of our troops’ time. Using the military to intimidate protesters violates the principles this country stands for. This overreach must stop before it causes irreversible harm.

I knew about criteria and data, but AGENDA???? my whole life is a lie 😭😭😭

Happy Fragile Straight Man Month!

This thing where AI tries to finish sentences as you are typing them is really annoying and distracting.

Why are they making it look so cool then 😭😭😭😭😭 this looks like an ad for Lady Gaga branded cigarettes

Imagine the reaction if Jeh Johnson had tweeted this.

Just talked about this in science class today!

What's the Biden or Obama equivalent of this? Best I can come up with is Sec. Buttegeig making people prove who's the very best most safest NYC driver and letting them circumvent congestion pricing. Honestly what would it be??

I’m gonna be so pissed if the govt makes me defend a menendez

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Crockett / Swalwell is an amazing 2028 ticket, let's go

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Putting a 25% tariff on automobiles and then saying congestion pricing is a "tax on the working class" is actually so funny tbh

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator — or member of Congress, generally — or perhaps any senior US gov’t official — has included an f-bomb in an official press release. www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Singing "Baby Beluga" but to the tune of "Abracadabra" with my kids at bath time "Bay-be bel-u-ga baby belluuuuggaaaaa" The kids were eating it up

Just heard "Megalomaniac" by Incubus on the stereo at a dive bar and are there any songs like that about Tr*mp? This song literally says "you're no f***ing Elvis, step down" about George W Bush. Where is the protest music in 2025? I'm old and don't know, this is a genuine question.

We just started a unit on weather in the atmosphere in my science class and we only use NOAA to access weather data because it's ad-free and there's SO MUCH information. I know there are other places to get weather info but NOAA is the best.

As a teacher, I'm looking at this and thinking this is essentially a homework assignment and who is going to sit there and grade 2 million homeworks? It's either going to take an absurd number of man hours, or be assigned to a computer which will inevitably do a bad job at evaluating the responses

Guys it's only been one month since inauguration day. I can't handle 47 more months of this. I mean, I can, but not in ways that are healthy.

My Congressional rep is very new and this is the first time I've seen her making some news. Good to see her putting herself out there. More of this.

Transit Kid showed up to class today with a pamphlet that says RESPECT THE TRAIN

One of my students drew this on the board today, I asked if he's interested in public transit and he said yes AND THEN he showed me drawings he did of a transit agency he invented complete with maps, station stops, and unique branding, I got so irrationally excited that I think I scared him

My parents have been honoring Jimmy Carter since 1979 by always keeping the thermostat set to 65 during the day and 55 at night in the winter to conserve energy. The number of times I've visited and said "geez guys isn't it a little cold in here?" and they look at me, incredulous, and say "it's 62⁰"
