Homan would be such a easy target for an actual opposition party—the architect of a deeply unpopular program who is also cartoonishly corrupt.

Soviet Russia ⚒️ has the capacity to strike today...our Air Force ✈️ and our Anti-Aircraft 💣 are on 24-hour guard 🕞 but they need warning📞...radar alone📡 is not enough because of its limitations...The only way to answer today is lending your eyes👁️ and ears👂🏻 to America's growing corps of "Skywatchers"!

No need to pretend that this is about immigration anymore.

overheard at the nyc transit bus festival today: “it’s autism awareness month”

Have they considered that residents don't want to pay the salaries of officers who are unwilling to even show their faces in the "communities they serve"?

nyc really is subtropical climate now, seems it's still going to be linen weather in october

the 'cancel' part of 'cancel culture' was also lifted from Black culture and promptly weaponized against any effort to obtain social accountability in defense of marginalized people

are these the judeo-christian values we were told about

Literally begging for someone to put a klan hood on him

NEW: Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom announced today that they have all recognized the State of Palestine

I appreciate all the local reporters focusing on just how awful the prisons holding immigrants throughout their state are and have always been www.inquirer.com/news/ice-imm...

BREAKING NEWS: Canada, UK and Australia say they recognize a Palestinian state as part of efforts to pile pressure on Israel over Gaza. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/3VtaMRI

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Maybe of interest, thinking about Block and a possible new paradigm: www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/ame...

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Gas canisters launched directly into crowd; pandemonium again.

Only seven Senate Democrats are signed onto a resolution put forward by Jeff Merkley for the United States recognize the State of Palestine. They are: Sen. Jeff Merkley Chris Van Hollen Tim Kaine Bernie Sanders Peter Welch Tina Smith Tammy Baldwin Mazie Huron

Macron announces that Portugal will also recognize the State of Palestine this Monday at the United Nations General Assembly

Man, how did futurecanoe get so many more youtube subscribers than j kenji lopez alt in such a short span of time?? I guess zoomers' content preferences are just going to completely dominate digital media. (I like futurecanoe too don't get me wrong but kenji is like Most Trusted)

Missed like a week of gym sessions thanks to work stress and covid booster. Back at it today though. And let me tell you I just unleashed the most carnal violence upon a burrito

Of course I will also note that in this instance, it is older readers who are being targeted with this patronizing slop. And they wouldn’t be targeted if it wasn’t so effective. Anti intellectualism applies for all generational cohorts, just different engagement strategies

Cleansing the discourse

really do not understand the stakes for either side of this email list debate. can we move on?

A good story on Missouri’s broken police decertification system. Last year, I wrote a related story about how the state POST refuses to release data showing the employment histories of officers in the state — preventing a full analysis of the “municipal shuffle” of officers in St. Louis Metro:

"The emoji claims, repeated by the New York police department (NYPD), were made in four reports disseminated among law enforcement in 2024 and 2025 and obtained through records requests by @propertyofthepeople.org, a government transparency non-profit." nice work @rshapiro.bsky.social

The agents eventually do successfully transfer the vehicles. Meanwhile, the @abc7.bsky.social news van gets gassed.

You can see here a federal agent prepping some kind of thrown munition.

BREAKING: The full Second Circuit will not reconsider (en banc) the Trump administration’s motions to stay the lower court orders in the Ozturk/Mahdawi cases during appeal. This means nothing changes for now and they remain out of detention.

at least twice now, this federal agent has come out of the broadview ice facility with his sidearm drawn. last friday, an ice agent shot and killed a man during a traffic stop nearby in franklin park, illinois.

Cannot escape the feeling that people would care more about the nightmare unfolding in Chicagoland if Trump had actually sent the National Guard. People hung all of their ideas about fascist escalation looks like on that. Meanwhile, agents hunt our neighbors and gas protesters here.

stop booking ben smith as a media expert on your show challenge

semafor was a mistake x.com/Playerinthga...

What really concerns me about this is how everyone cheering on this case is ignoring how everyone involved has just agreed that being trans is bad and reputation damaging and not something you want to be seen as

My emerging view is to just ignore SCOTUS for a while, or immediately pack it with 90 justices

So glad he’s got no shot at a second term. New York deserves better

Correct me if I’m wrong but the standard procedure is simple, no? WH doesn’t get to have this info (they can know the general thrust of the story though). They can refuse to comment if they want, but that will be recorded in the story. Why even tell the 1st source about this?

i was going to post earlier this week that the resurgence of people draping preppy sweaters over their shoulders is not a trend that i favor

Probably means their data now lives in spreadsheets circulated on telegram

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

First the grand juries, now the trial juries. This Admin is not winning.

All 11 local elected officials have now been released and given summonses for obstructing, they are due back in federal court in November. Full story here: www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/18/d...

Yeah this is not good, hoping the security for Z is ROBUST www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politic...

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.
