I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Trump’s FCC pressured CBS into not airing Stephen Colbert’s interview of James Talarico.

Here it is on YouTube. Worth watching.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Just a reminder that if Trump's policies had been in effect in the past, there would be no Apple (Steve Jobs is the son of Syrian immigrants), no Google (Sergei Brin immigrated from the USSR), and no WhatsApp (Jan Koum immigrated from Ukraine).

65% of all top tech companies has immigrant founders.

Do not accept the idea that local officials can't do anything because the FBI "cut them out."

They should run their own investigation. If the Feds try to stop them they should force them to arrest cops and DAs. The mayor should go on TV demanding the release of his officers.

No business as usual.

See. This is why you have congressional authorization for war powers. So, you don’t have a rambling, incoherent executive saying a lot of words that makes you wonder if we’re occupying a country or if there are reservations open at Le Dip.
