This is not even a well-kept secret. A current NYPD chief praised Mamdani’s stance on mental health without endorsement; a forner chief, now working on Long Island, did endorse him for wanting what police have always wanted - to catch crooks and let others be social workers, babysitters, etc.

Good afternoon, Marisa. Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien. Please feel free to direct any questions to them. Respectfully, James Tricia McLaughlin @TriciaOhio • 6h S... Here are the facts: he posed a public safety threat with an extensive rap sheet including violent assault with a dangerous weapon, battery, breaking and entering, destruction of property. He was in possession of a firearm and 5-7 inch knife when arrested.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good lord the gains

it is really remarkable how everyone discounted her as a lightweight bound to crash and burn

Having spent a considerable amount of time at a Pentagon-based investment fund, I expect to see men popping off cliché after cliché, vests, dress sneakers, walking/chatting, showing up to work at 1145am, and overflowing, unmonitored inboxes.

You can fix acquisitions by making people do their jobs.

Trump's new layoffs hurt disabled kids "This is absolutely a violation of federal law."

“This is absolutely a violation of federal law.”

For @motherjones.com, I reported about how reduction-in-forces in the Office of Special Education Programs will lead to disabled kids' needs not being met, as funding may not be distributed. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wasn't mine to begin with so spread away lol

We won't reopen the government until the party with no majority agrees to compromise with us, we're also going to accept their framing of the issue at hand.

Waffles and pancakes, many such cases

Pepperidge Farm remembers

No I get it! You have distinct variations between Nassau and Suffolk, north shore versus south, the East End are their own thing, etc. It's just *turbo* niche lol

This is the Discourse this site needs

Allowable under the Bay Ridge Accords

Pizza was invented in Naples, developed deep cultural roots in America, and then was pushed into the rest of Italy largely by American cultural pressure. Food is like that! It's a deeply important part of culture, but it doesn't support these ethnic essentialist narratives.

Fair enough!

"Now that you mention it, this skin tag *is* giving me the sads"

My dermatologist's office just sent me a depression screening prior to my appointment Wednesday, which, uh, thoughtful I guess but ????

The psychology that twists coverage in Trump’s favor is transparent, once you accept that psychology plays a role. They want to be perceived as neutral by their peers, and they know their peers suspect them of anti-Trump bias. So they demonstrate independence by scrutinizing Dems and praising Trump.

I really can’t imagine a more ideal scenario for anti-Trump politicians than MAGA spending a week explicitly turning the size of the 10/18 protests into a referendum on MAGA and Trump, while simultaneously making the protests the center of media attention. They are setting themselves up for disaster

Pretty sure I say this every Columbus Day, but getting hauled back to Spain for excessive brutality in 1500, just as the Inquisition was really getting fired up, is some genuinely Evil Guys Hall of Infamy material

Freaking about No Kings is catastrophic for them! It’s a virtual certainty the protests will be enormous, and by turning them into a live issue, the GOP effectively gives news media permission to focus on them.

Both sites agree: nationwide anti-Trump protests are the most important story right now

Wow, Bari using CBS as a vector for her own pet project? Shocking!

Congress could, at any time, stop this shitshow by telling Vought to end the RIFs and impoundments. It has very clear institutional reasons to do so. But obeying to Trump rules all, and instead the Speaker of the House will pretend he does not know what is happening while opining on Bad Bunny.

Bret Deveraux has a (largely correct) recurring point about how the only thing humans fear more than death is shame and this motivates a lot of pro-social behavior and the increasing shamelessness across human society is kind of a massive problem for that

Oh shes obviously setting herself up for after

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

God thinking back to my old Palm Pilot

And pretty clearly had a stroke or stroke like event a month ago!

the biomedical advances of the past twenty years have also been incredible. in a way, it really feels like we’ve been slouching towards utopia, so to speak, while society collapsed out from under us bc of changes in information technology/media diets
