Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for U.N. food distribution in Gaza as more starve Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries β€” leading to even more deaths.

ENOUGH.

I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:

Thank you for this. Was getting really depressed scrolling through my timeline and then this. Also like their Teen Vogue interview in which they call themselves "lifeists."

i know his parents had no way of knowing new york would adopt ranked voting, or that he would run for mayor.

but it does work out nicely that "rank mamdani" is literally in his name

Text analysis of Congressional hearings shows that legislators interrupted Yellen (as Fed Chair) more and interacted with her using more aggressive language than they did with male Fed Chairs. But having a daughter reduces β€œhostility toward Yellen.” So depressing, completely unsurprising.

I did, because there were no trigger warnings. Usual formula - drop a few names (Jane Austen! DFW!), and associations (Greenwich Village! Iowa writing program!) and end with a lament how close-minded and arrogant the left are, compared to the tolerant and humble right.

The entire piece has a "what hath we wrought" quality.

I used to think Chopin was beautiful but tinkly music. I have been totally unprepared for how unsentimental yet emotional it is. Even practicing it makes me tired. 6/n

The final section is utterly beautiful of course, still unplayable by an amateur like me. Voicing the melody, keeping it all in check, exploding at the right time - Chopin, Chopin, why do you make it so hard for the rest of us? 5/n

Let's not even talk about the octave to chord leaps in the second section which I thought was going to be easier and am now crying at the difficulty of. 4/n

The first section: the hardest part is getting to the second note in the right hand. It is simply unreachable. Not physically but musically (for me). 3/n

It's a bit crazy to realize that six months ago, I didn't know it existed. Now I am trying to play it. 2/n

Too much is wrong with the world today. Which is why I want to talk about how I have only recently been exposed to the Chopin Nocturne Op 48/1 and how many good things have I missed so far? 1/n

All this sci-fi. They can create entirely new worlds and vocabularies but still can't conceive a world in which women rule or are The Chosen. So annoying. #Dune

So bad. Where is your public editor? Does this person have any training in journalistic standards?

What surprised me wasn't the ranking -- that was fairly in-line with where I had expected it to be. It was the fact that I thought I was fairly "in the know" on these things, and yet had no idea about half the stuff these companies had done.

This is no scoop at all. Man of Indian descent with family in Africa for 100+ years clarifies why he checked boxes. Not seeing the story here and frankly this isn't journalism, just In Touch or Daily Mail level gossip & innuendo.

A very simple thing you can do is stop linking to the NYT.

I know they do some good reporting but they are also actively upholding facism and working to subvert democracy and shaping your world view.

It is more work but it is better if we start starving harmful institutions.

He didn't even go there!!! Am beginning to think the NYT is trying to sabotage his mayoral run, rather than focus on journalism, but that can't be right, can it? Can it?????
