so weird living in the post 911 universe where the failure of america’s war on terror is broadly acknowledged and yet ppl fall for the same framing about “jihadist terror” whenever they learn about a new group we must bomb into oblivion to defend “our national security interests”

Last night I took Hasan Piker on a walk around Astoria. We ate, we drank mufawar coffee and adeni chai, we talked. For more than three hours. He streamed the whole thing.

imagine being the richest man in the world and pulling so many desperate, pathetic tactics for this to go your way and yet —

Adobe is backing the GOP attack on click-to-cancel.

Last year the FTC ruled that any subscription you sign up for with a click must be cancel-able with a click.

Now Republican politicians want to roll back this rule, and Adobe is supporting their push.

Chicago Republican Party @ChicagoGOP This will be fun to watch! Uber Lefty social media "sensation" Kat Abughazaleh announces run for Congress (against Schakowsky) in IL-09 Wonder if she'll be passing out #Hamas flags in 4th of July parades thru Niles, Morton Grove, Skokie & Evanston?

It's been 3 days and the Chicago GOP is already doing some crazy mask-off anti-Palestinian racism. Surprised it took them this long!

Chaotic scene as protesters swarm Trump border czar Tom Homan in Albany. Assembly Member and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani shouts at him "Do you believe in the first amendment?" in regards to the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil

Trump thinks his attack on congestion pricing is a win for the working class. He's dead wrong.

NYC public transit needs urgent upgrades—funded by congestion pricing—so working families can get their kids to school and head to work.

Trump's move is illegal and must be fought.

hakeem jeffries' wife packing up to go stay at her parents because she asked him to wash the dishes and he stood in front of the sink throwing his hands in the air and saying "what can i do, the water isn't even on"

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

They wanted to kill Palestinians so bad they let all this stuff happen rather than stop or even promise to stop

as it’s always been, death before detransition

Hell hath no fury like a mediocre white forced to confront the reality that he just isn’t good enough.

As a consumer nation that has already consumed everything the only thing that could possibly be sold is a lie

What a fucking bar.

It was an honor to share our campaign’s vision with the thoughtful and engaged members of Three Parks Independent Democrats on the Upper West Side.

TikTok my beloved, don’t go :(

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.

I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
