"I would have won overwhelmingly but running for governor or staying in Congress is not an effective use of my time" Sure, Jan 🙄

Comfort rereading the Murderbot series for temporary relief from the dread of [points to everything]

Relieved to see more media outlets alluding to (if not outright confirming) the president's diminished cognitive capacity. Pretending he doesn't have dementia doesn't magically make everything alright.

The White House chose to put trump's infirmity on display last night. Its not his fault he has dementia. But they're responsible for enabling him and using his term to accomplish their own white supremacist agendas. Was the message "Look, we're all on the same page now. Ha ha, fuck you all!"?

Book/Print Collective In 2025 as national responses to immigration deteriorated, Colette Fu, Jenn Graves, Sun Young Kang, Rejin Leys, + Daniel Minter turned to identity, belonging, + the power of naming. The hyphen became a point of inquiry: a small mark that can unite + divide, bridge + break.

Trumpwill still be blaming everything on President Biden in 2028 (if he lives that long).

Our "try and stop me" Vandal-in-Chief who jackhammered the Bonwit Teller friezes after promising to save them bypasses the GSA to fast-track demolition of 4 DC buildings that would destroy irreplaceable murals from Shahn, Guston and others. newrepublic.com/article/2042...

I hope this will be investigated & not just dropped because his term is almost over. He shouldn’t get to collect a pay check and vacation money while leaving NYC in a budget hole.

I'd be happy to 😏

A central rallying cry of the Tea Party in 2009-10 was "I want my country back!"--a response to both President Obama & countless other perceived "threats" to "their" America that directly set the stage for Birtherism & Trump's white supremacist fascism. werehistory.org/i-want-my-co...

America 250 is going to be unbearable, unless it is celebrated in the only sincere and meaningful way: by a revolution overthrowing tyranny

@anonstuniva.bsky.social hi Joel!

Doesn't this put US ships and their crews in danger of retaliation?

We're ruled by a dementia addled narcissist, but the cabinet of Yes Men is happy to let gramps babble on while they wreak havoc. Might as well be no 25th Amendment.

Tell homeless people that there is no affordability crisis. Hey, maybe they can go out and get 2 or 3 apartments instead of living in a tent or on the street!

What a sore loser 🤷🏽‍♀

The "best"people are those who can afford to give million dollar gifts, says the party always accusing the Dems of being elitist.

Factcheck: FALSE. Everyone knows trump can't read.

Renaming individual teams to get rid of the racism? 👎🏽 Renaming the entire sport on the whim of a dementia addled loser? 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Why did this take 2 years??

Will the media hound Tisch to disavow her brother's comments? I think we know they'd never drop it if someone connected to Mamdani had made an equivalent statement about a Jewish official.

Did I read that right? They arrested a Man for the pipe bombing, not a certain (retiring) congress critter from Georgia? 🤔

We just have to assume Jeffries has also accepted $$$ from lobbyists, unless proven otherwise. Only reason he'd say those charges are "thin."

Hegseth now saying he had better things to do than stick around and watch that boat strike to its conclusion?! We know the "commander in chief" is checked out, but shouldn't the Manly Man Head Honcho War Fighter put off having that beer until the murdering is over?

Ah yes, the culture that we are known for, that famously is not at all influenced by communities that came here from elsewhere 🙄🙄🙄

There's also a wonderful and extensive exhibition of Mel Edwards sculptures at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. What U.S. based cultural institution would have both the courage and the resources to present work like this now?

Happening now near Canal Street, federal agents had been staging inside a fed owned parking garage, now being confronted by a group of protesters. masked agents are looking on from above.

Don't get me started 🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀

Ketchup will be hitting the wall today 😂

Real "and yet you participate in society" type question 🤨

Book/Print Collective 🇺🇸 Introducing the five collective members whose prints are featured in Acknowledgements: The Hyphenated American print portfolio, the latest installment of our annual Black and brown hands making series: Colette Fu, Jennifer Graves, Sun Young Kang, Rejin Leys, & Daniel Minter

By these standards, there is no such thing as the American people. This land should be turned over to native peoples, who would surely do a better job of governing us than the bunch of fascists in charge now.

"Golden age of Law Enforcement" but don't you dare call them fascists or authoritarian. 🙄

Hunted? Were they chased through their workplaces by masked men? Were they dragged out of their homes and cars in front of their children, never to be seen again?

Well of course we are 🤦🏽‍♀

Simidor's archive as well as a large selection of books from his collection have found a home at the Haitian Studies Institute. I'm so happy that scholars and community members will have access to this material!

Why does WNYC like to describe Mayor-elect Mamdani as a "self described Democratic Socialist?" Does being a member of DSA not make him an *actual* Democratic Socialist? Are they just trying to make him sound less legit?

This week: •FAA orders ground stop at JFK & O’Hare due to staff shortages •USA has now lost 1M jobs under Trump—most since 2003 •US Army told soldiers to go to German food banks •History's longest Govt Shutdown persists •House in session only 12 of last 105 days •Trump blocks SNAP to 42M Americans

Yes, go on a cruise. A nice long one. Starting today please 🙏🏽

An immigrant in Gracie Mansion would be excellent symbolism.

Re-upping this:

"He (Mamdani) can't become a national figure because he can't run for president" Hello TV News, are Senators not "national figures"??

I think Chuck Schumer should be a more reliable Democratic voter than, for example, me.

So convenient that Cuomo has the big truck in town today. He can pack all his shit in it & drive back to the suburbs after his concession speech and be home by midnight!

LET'S GO

Check it out, @hyperallergic.com is doing a liveblog of today at the polls.

Very serious (& very traumatized) federal agent... put a footlong sammich sticker on his lunchbox. Heartwarming 🙄
