BREAKING: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EATS A LOSS IN 'SANDWICH GUY' CASE AS JURORS FIND DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

the hero we deserve

the fact that Sandwich Guy is facing this 'wich trial at all is evidence of subpar justice. he is a hero being put through the judicial grinder. i hope the jury wraps up a not guilty verdict without delay or loafing around

fact checkers at the new yorker are the hardest working most skilled and smartest journalists in the world. fuck condé for throwing one out like trash. up with unions, down with coward bosses

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

at this point it’s kind of a behavioral tic

hercule poirot, about to bite into a stroopwaffel, suddenly feels Called by God to untangle this case

the most important case in the history of western jurisprudence

*points fingers at you* all of u have trans thoughts sometimes

i think telling greenblatt to go fuck himself face-to-face would heal me

If you live in NYC and you are interested in organizing with others around our public libraries, you are invited to join our work @nycplan.org. We have a chance to increase and stabilize funding for our public libraries and you can help make that happen. actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

this is today’s new york post, yes because they are big mad, but also because they know mamdani voters will buy it just for the cover

We are so back

When my mom was 18, hiking in Israel, she slipped near a cliff, and a man appeared from nowhere to pull her back. He vanished, leaving behind a purple notebook listing her Hebrew name. She believes he was one of the 36 hidden righteous souls who keep the world from falling.

What's your DnD character? Whatever it is I can draw it for you.

Work in black and white

i probably sound like an asshole tonight but man i am fucking tired of pretending that democratic voters and urban people with all of the implications republicans have very much stopped pretending to dogwhistle about are not the heart of this country. it's us. it's always been us

Zohran Mamdani quoting Mario Cuomo in his acceptance speech is nasty work and I love it. The Sicilian in me bows to his killer instinct.

trans community mentioned 🏳️‍⚧️

well i guess i can say nyc's standards are higher than "man directly in the pay of istanbul" and "sexual predation monster" which is a joy to my cynical heart

I feel like this is an important aspect to emphasize, loudly, to everyone who endorsed Cuomo. they chose to side with a known sexual predator for personal gain and frankly that should be disqualifying for public office. you knew who he was and decided the women he hurt were acceptable losses

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

[Exit Clown.]

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

🎶the sooouuund .... of silence 🎶

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

i love watching them wear the egg on their faces

sorry for being sincere but damn what a class act. proud to have voted for him

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

it’s nine PM on the east coast and polls have closed bring me the head of andrew cuomo

sharing your food at any velocity is not a crime and a sandwich is not a weapon

today's 10 minute sketch is an extremely disappointed looking harp seal

Funniest outcome is he voted Mamdani but is scared he won’t be invited to Pesach if he publicly admits it

i for one am proud to be a stoopid jew :)

Chuck’s gotta go, man, this is coward shit even Jeffries got this right eventually

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

The trope in an IP revival where the beloved couple are now estranged but get back together in the end is so overdone. And I DEMAND they do it again anyway here. I will fall for it like a cartoon coyote.

This statement is true, and Steve also knows what I‘m about to say, so this is just additional commentary not a correction: This is not new. Cops have been doing this for ages. Talk back to a cop and they’ll rough you up. They have been doing this and getting away with it for a very long time.

today's 10 minute sketch is a baby emperor penguin

hell yes

Breaking: The Darkness Returns

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

a grilled cheese sandwich has become my explicit comfort food, self-soothing (and maybe catching up on nutrition after starving myself) in the face of mental illness misery
