Mamdani the Trump whisperer lmao

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

And now he’s standing in the oval, offering Trump, er I mean, investing in America, 1 trillion dollars.

What a goon.

First Trump doubles down on H1B visas and now this. Tsk tsk. The America First portion of MAGA is not going to be happy. Because money is the only thing Trump loves. Besides himself, of course.

He has the opportunity to do so much good, to leave the world a better place and lock his place in the halls of history as a force for good and just… doesn’t. Who does that!

The Trump administration will do anything to keep food assistance from the elderly, the disabled, and children. Shame on all of them.

🎯

And Israel

If he wasn’t the Great White Hope, his presidency would be DUNNNNNN by now.

He has literally bulldozed the economy, the value of the dollar, the job market, our trade relationships, our diplomatic relations, our national security…there is literally NOTHING he hasn’t ruined.

Not even the WH.

Can't believe the terrible person who was terrible at everything he ever tried also turned out to be a terrible president. Who coulda seen that one coming?

China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for past 18 months, analysis finds World’s biggest polluter on track to hit peak emissions target early but miss goal for cutting carbon intensity

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

😳

Ohhh. We’ve entered the bribe portion of Donnie’s bag of tricks.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

No one asked, but I think Bari Weiss is exactly the type of NYT journalist this article is referring to, she has said as much herself. And now she’s running CBS News. So that’s.. fun.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

The 7th national Plastic Free Lunch Day campaign runs from November 17th to the 21st.

The annual event helps schools reduce waste, protect kids’ health and build skills. Are you an educator? A parent? Go here for more info: cafeteriaculture.org/initiative/p...

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

This is what a New Era looks like.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

While there are 42M on SNAP that we know of, but I believe the number of food insecure is much higher. Those who qualify, but are afraid of being stigmatized for using the help their tax dollars paid into. For decades, the GOP has pushed, that to be a ‘good American’ you have to suffer…YOU DON’T!!!

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Then we could move forward with more class consciousness and something better on the other side. More social programs, less bombs on children in places far away, and so on. I don’t know. Probably a pipe dream. The rot runs so deep.

So sometimes I let my mind think - maybe we have to go through this crazy decade+ of trump and maga, and even if it gets worse before it gets better, maybe we can fully expose the rot that got us here.

Maybe one day (soonish?), nature will take its course and the spell will be broken.

I think in this last go around too many people believed all the lies about things becoming more affordable on day one and poor people and immigrants are the problem/ taking your jobs/ blah blah.

And of course, also the misogyny and racism.. but I digress!

I’m just absolutely disgusted by the comments sections concerning snap benefits being cut off. People are so hateful and cruel and stingy… it fucking sucks.

Ugh. At the same time, i have to keep believing they are in the minority.. or I think I’d go insane.
