I want Mamdani and City Council to rezone Trump Tower and Trump World Tower to be affordable house only zones. That would be hilarious. Even just the threat would lead to a ketchup shortage, LOL

Agree, but Mamdani didn’t grovel, he came in standing tall with confidence because he has more cards

Feel like something is missing in the discussions about the Trump/Mamdani meeting. Yes, Trump was probably enamored of Mamdani. But Zohran also has the upper hand because he can hurt Trumps wallet. Trump Org is based in NYC on top of the Tish James and Alvin Bragg still has tea to spill.

Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx β€” and this is how he introduced himself. πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺπŸ‘βœŠοΈπŸ‘‡

LOL. AT&T asking $3.99 a month to prevent scams and spam, LOL. Gerl, I will recognize them long before you will. Sigh, these corporations will do anything for someone to clean their bathrooms for a dollar. Fuck them, we know better

Mamdani asked us to stop contributing because he was at his limit. But billionaire PACs still couldn’t beat him. @aoc.bsky.social is my rep and I never ever remember a pleading ask from her campaign for money. If campaigns are are spamming you with requests, they aren’t genuine. 2/

Sitting here tonight with the quandary/juxtaposition of Democrats campaigning on Free Healthcare while asking for campaign contributions.

Um then its not free healthcare.

Let’s break this down, democrats do not need money to win. They have plenty. 1/

Liking the fight from the Dems this week. This, the Epstein files, Vindman/Khashoogi transcript request. TX gerrymander block, but more is needed.Bog them down. The piggy comment from trump is coming out of dementia, he can’t keep up anymore.And those in his cabinet are mediocre and cannot step in

Yes, let us praise our elders for all the amazing contributions that have given us, and praise them even more when they step aside for the younger generation.

Well done Nydia! And well done to my City Hall rep, Tiffany. This is how it’s done.

He thinks voters are stupid. Because this is just ridiculous, he knows better.

This is like saying if FL broke off from the US. And 34 years later US invades FL. And the best way to fix it is that they should get to know each other better. What the Actual F?

My thought as well, there is definitely a racist dog whistle in what he is saying.

That said, he’s too young to remember dressing up for flights. This has to be coming from Trump

A truly universal health care system isn't just good policy. It's good politics.

Until then, let's get those enhanced ACA subsidies back to keep health care affordable. But remember: we're talkin' subsidies.

Confirmed ICE activity at World Marina Banquet Hall lot in Corona, Queens (4:17pm).

A call is circulating for bikes, drivers for rapid response, with a belief that it is a staging area ahead of kidnappings.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."

She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.

They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.

This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.

The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.

"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.

"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Filling the community pools with cement all so black, brown and others can’t swim there. Cut SNAP because black, browns and others benefit.

Disgusting af, and disastrous to our country and economy.

This whole lovefest with the Saudis is really making me rethink 9/11. Wouldn’t this bother Lutnick, who lost many of his employees that day?

Yes, I’m sure it just boils down to $ and real estate deals. But why the Saudis?
