Protect this man

we’re all connected

1. Resegregation
2. Rolling back basic protections against child abuse
3. Reinforcing rigid class distinctions
4. Destroying professions that have long been "feminized"

The core problem appears to be that the NYT decided to double down on "we must be perceived as objective" rather than "we must report the truth."

It's a losing game! The only way to be perceived as credible by the right is to amplify their lies and moral panics.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

Tapping the sign

bold of them to directly attack their base like this

The framing of the NYT article is incredibly reckless and irresponsible. This just isn't a summer travel issue. It's a lies-about-vaccines issue.

Kaiju coming

Fascinated to watch all the Election Guys who have never lived here try to parse the block-by-block voting maps of Brooklyn and try to figure out who lives where because they were under the impression that it was all podcasters

Dogs

Please let this be true. PLEASE.

Can we all give #BradLander a big hand for throwing himself on the tracks in front of the Cuomo train, because it's starting to look like it worked.

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

Quick, turn on the Mets game.

Donate to Fundraiser for Enrique, paletero in Culver City, organized by Kimberly Noriega On June 23, 2025, at about my 1:15 PM, my uncle Ambrocio Lozano aka E… Kimberly Noriega needs your support for Fundraiser for Enrique, paletero in Culver City

Culver City is 15 minutes from me. A friend of mine knows the family. This happened yesterday. Last I heard, they don't yet know his whereabouts.

There's more on their Go Fund Me page - thankfully almost funded after a day.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 102 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

This is actually extremely common. The evangelical community is VERY dedicated to beating their children with paddles and various other objects in order to control and demand submission. They REGULARLY fight child abuse laws so they can continue this practice. And now they run the federal government

the Biggus Dickus scene from Life of Brian but it's an ICE agent showing foreigners at a port of entry this picture of jd vance and deporting them if they can't keep from laughing

next generation of would-be entrepreneurs are gonna sure as shit find out, though, the tech barons who are destroying these institutions are burning all the bridges behind them

it’s partly this and it’s partly that all of these guys are totally ignorant of how the products that made them wealthy are downstream from the research these institutions produced at no cost to those businesses and are hostile to the suggestion

This is like the one thing the Trump administration could do to lose the Olympics. International sports organizations don’t really care if a government has awful policies, but they absolutely do care if you’re denying travel to athletes

I think this is the right take. From outside of New York, I know it seems NYC is a hotbed of democratic liberalism. But actual New York politics are almost the reverse: the New York Democratic Party leadership is united mainly by trying to keep the left from power.

ok i'm sold, let them vote in nyc

Hard not to believe that the current moment will not completely poison many people's ability to trust the US government for a long time. No-one really believes that the masked men dishing out the kind of violence will ever face any sort of accountability.

Trump is gonna say he did it for the Jews and you better fucking not believe him.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

seems bad

This.
