Red Trump-style graphic with images of Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo. At the top it says, "I'm going to pick [Cuomo]." - Donald Trump, 60 Minutes Interview, 11-2-25 Then beneath it TRUMP ENDORSES CUOMO
Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!
I know how hard you worked for this.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Where are all those rightwingers yelling "you can't tear that down, it's history!" They protect statues which say "white supremacy" explicitly on their bases, but not the East Wing of the People's House. Just to replace it with a gaudy banquet hall.

When the law is weaponized or manipulated to advance political agendas, it erodes public trust and weakens the very foundation of justice. Whether it comes from the right or the left, from prosecutors or politicians, the politicization of law enforcement is dangerous and corrosive. We must restore faith in fairness, facts, and due process - because once justice becomes partisan, everyone loses. 3:56 PM β’ 10/9/25 β’ 41K Views
Andrew Cuomo keeps saying heβs the only candidate who can take on Trump once heβs in office.
Yet in his statement about the indictment of Letitia James, the highest-ranking Black elected official in the state, he doesnβt even mention Trump by nameβ¦.and, more importantly, he doesnβt mention James.
He thinks the baby is IN the placenta? And we're supposed to believe he knows anything about medicine?

Nancy Mace went on TV and told pregnant people not to take Tylenol and to take ibuprofen instead.
And, I cannot stress enough, HOW STUPID THAT IS. Ibuprofen is PROVEN to cause fetal complications. Has been for years. TYLENOL HAS NOT. EVER.
2 dead, 8+ hurt after Thomas Sanford of Burton, MI, rammed a truck into a Mormon church, opened fire, and set it ablaze before police killed him. His home had a TrumpβVance 2024 sign and FB shows years of pro-Trump posts. Motive unconfirmed, but points to far-right politics.

I endorse everything @jaystanley.bsky.social has to say in this piece from the ACLU on Drone as First Responder programs - and we need to stop tolerating their quiet, insidious growth in American communities.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.
Or used to work.
If you're not sufficiently sorrowful at Robert Redford's death I will NOT call your employer and demand your termination. Because I'm not in a cult and I'm not a complete asshole.
You and I will probably not be friends though.
For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
