What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Remember when Harris said she would go after price gouging companies and everyone yelled about communism?

1,000,000 American jobs have disappeared under Trump -- many entry level

And Republican trolls still using "get a job" tropes against the most needy Americans among us.

The Trumpcession is real!

I love that the Subway Sandwich Case is a big embarrassment for obnoxious Jeanine Pirro (see video). She was an idiot for wasting the jury and court's time with such a frivolous case. The only thing that would have made it better is if the jury had pitched in to give the defendant a replacement sub.

A photo of several ICE agents with masks on and the text says: β€œThey know it’s wrong. That’s why they wear masks.”

Without warrants or any due process, they violently remove people from their communities to detain or disappear them.

It is unconstitutional, & illegal.
It’s also dangerous to normalize masked men w/out IDs β€œarresting” someone.

The President CANNOT pardon local, state or international crimes.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.

Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

American capitalism is off the rails.

β€œPresident Trump is a friend of the forgotten American”

I think the 42 million people who are going without food assistance would disagree

The 170 citizens who’ve been grabbed & detained by ICE would disagree

I think everyone who’s healthcare prices are soaring would disagree

all those analysis of the huge changes Ds had to make to win back working class voters, Hispanics, etc. was DEAD WRONG. they did not make wholesale changes and yet they won huge. Context, candidates, and intensity. That's it. throw away the pundit playbooks.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits β€” the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🀣

This is disability visibility.

Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.

He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.

1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.

Don’t ignore us!

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.
