I saw so many people talking about how Mamdani and Lander were clearly running because they love their city and want to make life better there, while Cuomo seems to hate and fear it, and that feels like the key piece of this campaign that could be replicable by progressives everywhere

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

I just ran into someone doing the whole β€œdon’t eat a thing if your great-grandparents wouldn’t recognize it as food” and I’m begging people to know a little food history and understand how far back you have to go to find food without additives.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

I'm seeing these same kinds of no-win scenarios in the Trump administration.

We need political leaders who will stop focusing so much on trying to change Trump's behavior (which cannot and will not be changed) and put their time, energy, and resources into supporting the people he hurts.

NEW today from @miamiherald.com: more men sent to El Salvador on Saturday have been identified by their families, including a 27-year-old who entered legally at a port of entry in 2023 through the CBP One app and a 29-year-old father of a baby born here last year. Neither have any criminal record.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Hint: it’s not okay when they do it to Palestinian green card holders, it’s not okay when they do it to German tourists, it’s not okay when they do it to Mexican people regardless of citizenship, it is not okay. Ever.

Instead of using ChatGPT, why not just get a family member to lie to you while they set fire to a tree?

In recalling all the abusive behavior, please don't sleep on the fact that Cuomo was ALSO corrupt, dishonest and bad at his job!

shout out to all the parent writers. to all the projects started and then withered because a kid had a cold, or fell when you were jotting an idea down, or started a bath and jumped in still dressed. for the conferences and fellowships and sub windows missed. shout out to y’all who keep coming back.

This is just to say

I have fired
the bureaucrats
throughout
your government

Even the ones
that were probably
keeping planes
in the air

Forgive me
I am not very smart
So efficiency
Much savings

I want to be clear once more that every single vaccine on the childhood vaccine schedule in the United States has already been subjected to a randomized clinical trial. There is no evidence that giving more than one of these vaccines within the time period specified by the schedule poses any risk.
