Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

If I was really rich, I would not complain about mayors refusing to meet with me; I would just buy a lot of Lego sets and spend extended periods in Tokyo, Italy, and France

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

You African Studies majors out there: you too can become mayor of New York City!!!

In upset, Democrats win in PSC races that could affect Georgia Power bills Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard won statewide elections, defeating Republican incumbents, for seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission.

RESULT: Democrats have flipped two seats on Georgia's utility commission.

The commission shapes Georgia's environmental future, determining the state's energy mix between clean energy and fossil fuel sources.

I’m told that the results of a single election reflect a perfect, unchanging, and inescapable spirit of the Volk, so I will expect us all to start respecting the American people’s desire for Woke Maximalism.

IF YOU'RE IN LINE AT THE LIQUOR STORE, STAY IN LINE

the guy from the original painting that's got on my outfit except it's wearing tan turnshoes

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

you see this happen a lot in "streetwear." people who co-opt a streetwear aesthetic frozen in time while making cities more hostile to the people who gave that aesthetic meaning — less affordable housing, more crackdown on noise, more policing, etc.

Chopin, whose music can be counted among the most beautiful expressions of human ambition and emotion, would have given a Chotiner interview so disastrous that it would be a subordinate clause in the first line of his obituary

Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.

Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: sfilen.org/resources/sf...

When someone uses this emoji 🤣 they are more mad than they have ever been in their entire life

The Trump shit video is basically this, but I will reiterate that if a Dem is critical of conservative voters it’s a generational scandal and when Republican pols literally post themselves shitting on their opposition virtually the entire elite politics and media class treats it as fine and normal

Solidarity!! Last week, Indiana University fired the director of student media & halted print on the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. Yesterday, Purdue’s student paper printed the banned edition & drove two hours to deliver it. Incredible www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Can’t wait

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

are these stories about reading trump administration officials phones in public just a consequence of iphones having amazing cameras now or are these guys just particularly incompetent with opsec

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.
