5 years ago this month, @carolinaide.bsky.social and I scribbled a bunch of postcards encouraging our neighbors to support @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for state assembly. He prevailed despite my handwriting.

This guy is the real deal and always has been. Rank him first for mayor!

Mayor Adams is wearing his “in god we trust” American flag shirt once again. But this time it’s written in Italian. He says it’s Spanish to honor the victims of a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican republic last week.

they are segregationists, it has been obvious from the jump, and i think that pundits who dismissed the charge as hyperbolic should explain why they couldn’t see the fact pattern
“Tubman’s photograph is now gone. In its place are images of Postal Service stamps that highlight “Black/White cooperation” in the secret network and that feature Tubman among abolitionists of both races.”

These notes from universities aren't just useless and cowardly, they're actively dangerous at this point! Your university isn't a "community" if it's allowing people to be abducted off the street because of an op-ed.

Real answer is to reallocate all university resources until the student is freed.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

The child abductions are one of the most horrifying parts of this war. Literally hundreds of thousands detained and "re-educated." Ukrainian kids are showing up on Russian adoption websites.
SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

Here’s the problem: Even if we somehow get these fuckers out, how can we be assured that the same shit won’t happen again in 4 years? Are we supposed to rebuild institutions twice a decade? Will our former allies bother with us again knowing another asshole will be elected by the next Olympics?
