Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

This whole thread.

“Oh no, someone might eat food!”

Good. That’s good.

“They might buy something they like.”

Cool.

“They might get a treat!”

Also cool.

“My tax dollars are paying for their steak!”

Yeah, well, my tax dollars are paying for ICE to threaten and abduct my neighbors. Steak sounds better.

"There is no doubt...that irreparable harm will begin to occur...if SNAP benefits are not paid..."

"SNAP benefits have *never* until now been terminated." U.S. has admitted that contingency funds have been used, and gave no reason why they coudl nto be used now as they were planned to be used in 2019.

USDA must distribute funds. Ordering a status report by Monday at noon. If USDA chooses not to use its discretion not to make full payments, it must come up with a plan that is not arbitrary and capricious to (something about how limited funds will be distributed).

phew. phew!!!

OECD Child poverty rate by country “On average across OECD countries, 12.2% of children live in relative income poverty (Chart CO2.2.A), but rates differ considerably from country to country. In six OECD countries (Chile, Costa Rica, Israel, Spain, Türkiye and the United States), more than 20% of children live in relative poverty; rates are particularly high, at around 30%, in Costa Rica. In 17 other OECD countries (Belgium, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovenia and Sweden), however, less than 10% of children live in relative income poverty. In Denmark and Finland, the child relative income poverty rate is only around 4%.” Source: https://webfs.oecd.org/els-com/Family_Database/CO_2_2_Child_Poverty.pdf

Did you know? The US has one of the highest child poverty rates of OECD countries.

The average child poverty rate across OECD countries is 12.2%

In the US, it’s over 20%

It’s partly why many children rely on SNAP

High rates of child poverty warrant a national conversation.

New Yorkers need a mayor who will fight against ICE, not one who begs for help from ICE boss Donald Trump.

We went to the site of last week's horrific Canal Street raid to remind voters what’s at stake. On November 4th, Don't Vote Cuomo.

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

*stares directly at ashkenazi jews who voted for trump*

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

This is correct.

The person who oversees healthcare coverage for more than 160 million Americans is lying about healthcare coverage

This new map based on @theNYHC data makes it clear: it’s too easy to block affordable housing in wide swaths of the city.

If you agree every neighborhood needs to do its part in solving our citywide housing crisis, vote YES on Props 2-5.

I used to live a few blocks away from Elizabeth Warren in Cambridge, and I can personally confirm that they give out full-size candy bars on Halloween.

Ableism is one of the bigotries that lie at the core. Not the only one, but too often missed.

Capitalism is hot garbage. How much do you think they are paying to do this? I wonder what else you could do with money?

Putting people in cages instead of feeding them is a policy choice

these are concentration camps.

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

This is also the next step in voter suppression with voter ID laws: You could show your ID all you want, they still won't let you vote.
