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.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

I love Malcom but he often veers into hyperbole.

They’re framing that ANYONE who resists them is a TERRORIST.

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.

Labor leader Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers union with Cesar Chavez in the 1960s, says the Trump administration's immigration crackdown is "ethnic cleansing" aimed at all people of color.

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

Andrew Cuomo * @andrewcuomo

In a democracy, the rule of law must be sacred - impartial, objective, and above politics. 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.

Andrew Cuomo keeps saying he’s the only candidate who can take on Trump once he’s in office.

Yet in his statement about the indictment of Letitia James, the highest-ranking Black elected official in the state, he doesn’t even mention Trump by name….and, more importantly, he doesn’t mention James.

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 Trump–Vance 2024 sign and FB shows years of pro-Trump posts. Motive unconfirmed, but points to far-right politics.

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. β€˜War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

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."
