Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

It wasn’t a targeted raid for a particular person. Border Patrol went room to room looking for day care workers

They were trying to kidnap people to whom children—some under 2 y/o—had bonded. The people who made the children feel protected, feel safe

It’s sadism. And it could be coming your way

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

LOL!!!!

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

FBI Begs ICE Agents to ID Themselves as Criminal Imposters on the Rise This is what happens when federal officers wearing masks just grab people off the streets.

Last month, the bureau issued a bulletin to law enforcement agencies warning that criminals are pretending to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and engaging in crimes ranging from sexual assault to robbery. trib.al/GgisayV

i am saying that instead of viewing zohran as the vector of change you should view him as a byproduct of change which has already begun to occur

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

Here's hoping!

Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn.

Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge.

Zohran at a packed press conference outside city hall, Tish James and others raising their hands in the air.

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

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

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Defaulting to surgical masks in health care settings in 2025 is one of the most dissapointing examples of reluctance to change despite overwhelming evidence.

Even defaulting to KN95 style would significantly increase protection of the most vulnerable.

Infuriating inertia in the HC industry.

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Surprise 😨 A Kremlin-funded party serves only the Kremlin, who would’ve thought?

the entirety of the united states economy is a debt-based economy

Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House One man's robot vacuum was constantly communicating with its manufacturer, sending a detailed 3D map of his house halfway across the world.

Roomba should have been a warning.

THERE WAS A SUCCESSFUL HEIST AT THE LOUVRE

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

This is not what we were brought up to think of as journalism.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Lying Mike Johnson claims the last government shutdown was in 2013. The last TWO federal shutdowns were during Trump’s last term. Trump has been responsible for close to 2/3 of all federal shutdown days in US history.

I find it strange how rarely people in the U.S. and outside of it truly contend with how VAST the country is geographically.

Folks LOVE to mention France but Paris has a population of 2 million people and is 40 square miles.

NYC has a population of 8.5 million and is over 460 square miles
