True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

People will post things like “I posted Free Palestine and then a bunch of people appeared asking for help” as proof of scam- instead of I dunno Palestinians thinking you may be a person who wants to help them

While many goods (especially food, fuel, and medicine) are severely restricted, some items do enter Gaza through limited aid convoys, black-market channels, or small-scale local production. Money allows people to compete for those scarce resources or buy alternatives.

400 counter protestors vs 15 fascists in Bristol

And yet it is the latter who are painted as expressing the "legitimate grievances" of "the people" by the mainstream media and politicians

This leads to emboldening and mainstreaming and it is a top down effect

If kids’ schools trained them for work based on what everyone thought the hot new technology was going to be, both my kids would have spent the past several years learning about the blockchain. This is why schools don’t attempt to do workplace training: life is pretty long.

‘Gross abuse of state power’: defiance grows over UK ban on Palestine protest group More than 200 have been arrested for alleged support of Palestine Action – and hundreds more are expected to protest on Saturday At 81, Deborah Hinton, a former British magistrate who was honoured by the late Queen Elizabeth II for services to the community, seems an unlikely terrorist suspect. In the quiet town in south-west England where she lives, much of her retirement is spent walking along the cliffs, raising funds for the nearby cathedral choir, and supporting local charities. But last month she was detained in a police cell for seven hours, fingerprinted and had a DNA swab taken from her mouth. It was the first time she had ever been arrested, and the experience left her “in a state of trauma” and “shaking uncontrollably”. She could face a jail sentence of six months under UK terrorism legislation. Continue reading...

‘Gross abuse of state power’: defiance grows over UK ban on Palestine protest group

Checked the subreddit and that's how I learned people spending $200 a month on LLMs was not, in fact, an exaggeration number to make fun of them, but rather, the actual number some people pay, and that's frankly MORE embarrassing than paying $200 a month for tinder or whatever.

What value does the free state, ultimately, provide? Pave it over and turn it into endless apartment blocks

One of my fondest megaprojects was building a glass zoo, where I trapped a number of forgotten beasts, dragons, ettins etc in 3x3 glass rooms that my dwarves could walk around. So many work cancellation alerts

Utility bills are going up, can’t afford the monthly shop, wages are stagnant, housing market is broken, infrastructure is crumbling, local services barely exist or function and AI is destroying jobs and the environment but at least you nabbed a few foreign Deliveroo drivers. You absolute ghoul.

Either EVERYONE should be able to move around the world as freely as people who, through no conduct of their own, are born in wealthy global north states; or we all have to go through what every African citizen endures trying to get into 1 of those states.

The fact it is unequal should shock us.

Short-term visa rejections do not stop migration Schengen visas are used by tourists, businesspeople and professionals visiting the EU for 90 days or less. Unlike longer term work visa policies (which are set individually by member-states) all 29 Schengen countries apply the same rules for 90-day visas. According to the EU and European embassies, the high rejection rate is due to the risk of recipients overstaying. But there is little or no public data available on the number of non-Europeans on Schengen visas who overstay, and overstaying is hardly mentioned in Frontex’s reports as a cause for concern in relation to illegal migration. In any case, the EU is implementing the Entry/Exit System (EES) in October 2025, a new IT system which will monitor all Schengen arrivals and departures, detecting breeches of visa conditions automatically https://www.cer.eu/insights/access-denied-eus-discriminatory-visa-regime-undermining-its-reputation-africa

Every single reason offered by people who defend the current visa regime - which imposes no restrictions on Americans, Canadians, etc. but does on ALL of AFRICA - is not based on any evidence because that evidence DOESN'T EVEN EXIST.
