Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

The guy from my AP English class who passionately argued about how Jean Valjean was not wrong to steal food for his niece just posted an anti-SNAP rant on FB.

Yeah, I went trick or treating with my kids.

If someone wanted to harm USA agriculture they'd do 5 things.
1. Deport labor, make work in USA inhospitable
2. Start tariff wars that end US commodity crop exports
3. Fire experts in transmissible livestock disease
4. Invite/subsidize foreign meat competition
5. Tell farmers how much I love them.

Challenge Accepted...? 🥧

It may not be, but if it isn't, then those out of office messages and messages on every federal website right now blaming Democrats for the shutdown are subject to the same rules this agent is being fired under.

Exactly this

Not for a prescription. Have to go to the doctor for that.

Not to mention the copays for an entire family to go to the doctor for this, and the scheduling. I’ve 5 in my family. Particularly if insurance won’t cover the COVID booster now, I’ll be out nearly $1k.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Senate hopeful, claimed 3 homes as his primary residence Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, Angela, are longtime owners of a $1.5 million home in a Dallas suburb. In 2015, they snapped up a second house in Austin.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.

This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

The damage this man has done is incalculable.

Trump Take LEGO The popular Pick a Brick service let LEGO fanatics get the exact piece they wanted. It’s no longer available to US customers.

Lego is no longer sending individual pieces to the U.S. due to Trump ending the de minimis exemption. This man ruins everything.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from prison at the order of a U.S. magistrate judge in Tennessee after being imprisoned illegally, and is now on his way back to Maryland to see his family.

Does anyone NOT suspect that? Can't tell if this is engagement bait or not, because to me (a polisci degree holder who focused primarily on the rise and fall of democracy in his studies), it's like asking "does anyone else suspect that the sun is a burning ball of fire?"

Some Texas Democratic women have torn up their permission slips and will now be hosting a “slumber party for Democracy” on the House floor.

Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

That one and the Ukraine flag.

What’s it going to take?

I think about this every damn day

Considering the administration is hell-bent on stealing the election one way or another, I'd not be too confident in that as our bastion of hope.

Not to mention healthcare.

The pretexts for these paramilitary takeovers don’t matter

They’re lies

Don’t buy into their narrative

They’re normalizing military takeovers

That should be the opposing narrative, not crime rates which let them steer the conversation

WE should steer it
What they’re doing is unacceptable
Period

An incredible moment at tonight's Washington Spirit home game at Audi
Field, as the crowd erupts in a "FREE DC" chant.
