Errol Louis

The Kid Mero joined @errollouis.bsky.social and talked about the rise of Mamdani and Trump, comparing them to Mario and Wario. Full conversation linked below.

The argument he makes that he has nothing to do with the family business is shot to shit here. There is no way he would allow his likeness to be used without compensation. So, either he's involved, or where's the lawsuit?

Kelly: "My family has suffered from political violence. My wife, Gabby, was nearly assassinated, shot in the head at a political event. Even the president -- 2 assassination attempts -- he should understand his words have significant weight and people react to things that he says."

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

Oh it just does my heart good to see @thekidmero.bsky.social out here with @errollouis.bsky.social youtu.be/iIiLu9zSPfI

Saudi prince Mohammed is being lavished by Trump. It’s clear why | Mohamad Bazzi Autocrats like Prince Mohammed are eager to benefit from Trump’s brazen effort to use the presidency to enrich himself and his family

When Trump was out of power, Saudi Arabia became one of the most important sources of new deals for the Trump brand, which had become toxic after the Jan 6 attack. Trump has now reciprocated by absolving MBS for ordering Jamal Khashoggi's assassination — my latest @theguardian.com

Eric Adams, Still the Mayor, Is Increasingly Out of Office

"Mr. Adams has argued that it is important for the mayor to honor all the communities represented in New York City, though New Yorkers who identify as Albanian make up only 0.5 percent of the city’s population, while New Yorkers who identify as Uzbek make up only 0.3 percent."

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Tear gas, car crashes, chokeholds: Risky tactics have driven Trump’s Chicago deportation ‘blitz’ Law enforcement experts say federal agents have displayed a lack of training and restraint. “They’re out of control,” ex-police Supt. Garry McCarthy says.

The concentration of vast economic power in a few mega-corporations (@amazon, @google, @microsoft, etc.) is a threat to our economy and our democracy, says Lina Khan, one of the co-chairs of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's transition team. We talked back in July. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTVW...

A true underrated moment of the night was @errollouis.bsky.social and the NY1 crew immediately identifying Dhoom Machale (and asking to turn it up!) as @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social walked off stage.

Spanberger and Sherrill were Capitol Hill roommates in 2018. Now they're both Governors almost 8 years later.

No on 6!

Government shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

So no health care. No food. Now no heat?

Always happy to see @errollouis.bsky.social and share great @cuny.edu news from my State of the University address, including CUNY Beyond, our landmark initiative to lead our students into careers from my State of the University address.

Thanks for having me on, Errol!

LOL was literally asleep when it aired!

“Officially the least famous person ever impersonated on SNL.”

FWIW, Errol Louis has a piece on why you should vote no on 6 and…

California police boost patrols at grocery stores as millions set to lose SNAP benefits

California police boost patrols at grocery stores as millions set to lose SNAP benefits

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
