Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Here’s the new executive order pushing states to to institutionalize unhoused and mentally ill folks and remove funding for harm reduction that Curtis Yarvin would be proud of. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

When you should be sleeping but just have to read one more chapter

Candace Owens: "After looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man."

The Macrons: "Okay!"

"Never again means never again for anyone": An interview with Sim Kern The teacher turned bestselling author on becoming an unexpected face of anti-Zionist Judaism.

“Perhaps the most fundamental and vital labor, of all liberatory organizing,” Kern writes, “is the act of explaining hard truths. In your own words. To your own people. As clearly and compellingly as possible. Over and over and over and over.”

People need options (public transit / walking/ biking is difficult for people who struggle with physical mobility) and are often forced to live very far from workplaces esp in major metro areas to afford housing = long car commute and carpool isn’t an option. Wish I had an overall solution

Just in case you wondered about the Medicaid recipients who need to meet work requirements to get coverage…

There is an all-out global assault on the idea that government should help ppl & that ppl should help one another.

That's what ZM represents.

Elites of both parties in the US are engaged in this assault. Their goal: turn "the masses" against each other & prevent them from expecting better of gov.

Politicians who take seriously the idea that government should help people are so dangerous that they pay with their lives for trying to make people's lives better.

People who take comfort in the "the pendulum always swings back" platitude tend to ignore the fact that the swing back often comes at a terribly high price in human lives.

Mike Johnson: "The reconciliation bill was a big, giant leap forward, but we're gonna do this again. We're gonna have a second reconciliation package in the fall, and a third in the spring of next year."

From the smallest YouTube influencer to the actual President, a lot of problems could be solved by “you should be upset that people are lying to you to make money”

Thanks!

Jeffries: I think it was because the framers of this great country, they were fed up with project 1775. So they implemented project 1776.. Understand what our journey teaches us is after project 2025 comes project 2026. And you will have an opportunity to end this national nightmare

A great speech by Congressman Raskin mocking the big ugly bill. The dictator later dumped all over him on TS for it. He should wear it as a badge of courage. bsky.app/profile/demo...

Raskin: "I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Trump, given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote in two different elections and the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection"

It’s important to remember that guys like Homan, Miller, etc, do not view immigrants as people. So, if they die they die. Thing is, once the concentration camps get filled with the easy-to-kidnap people from car washes and Home Depot, that tier of people the admin doesn’t see as people will expand.

McGovern: "You all know the truth. You know this bill is cruel and will hurt millions of Americans, but Trump wants you to fold. And the sad fact is many of you will fold in a nanosecond. You will vote for this even though you know it's bad for your own constituents. You're absolutely terrified."

This is also a point where the tech media needs to stop taking the bait with things like "AGI" or "superintelligence." These are fictional concepts. The story is that tens of millions of dollars are being thrown at random AI scientists that all live together/talk *to build a fairy tale machine*

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

I use it for businesses purposes too! As much as I hate these people, I can’t let them take any more human connections from me.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Same here. Wonder if it’s because I hate seafood.

He knows. He does not care. His donors will back him because they think money can outvote people, and they want their billionaire tax cuts.

As we watch another "unplanned disassembly," remember that back when this country valued science and math, engineers with SLIDE RULES sent men to the moon in a capsule with less computing power than your smartphone.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social NYT article about tonight’s talk refers to you as a “popular anti-Trump writer and historian”! Unbelievable bias.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.
