This is key: "Atlanta officials spent years trying to lure major chain grocery stores to neighborhoods that don’t offer residents big supermarkets with fresh, healthy food [but] large private operators have been reluctant to open a store in poorer neighborhoods." Gov't addressing a market failure.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

The goal is for the store to become profitable without any government subsidy within three years.

on a right-wing israeli telegram channel, they're celebrating the deaths of ~70,000 people killed in gaza, 80% of whom are civilians, and labeling them all terrorists. but don't dare call it a genocide because that would be an act of antisemitic incitement.

I hate when people do this. Disinformation is terrible no matter who it is coming from. We know nothing about the shooter or their motive.
I’m gonna say the shooter was another Trump supporter.
I did say earlier that the distraction was intensifying.
I’m guessing this was another cruel, calculated act by Trump and his stand back and stand by creeps.,
How long will we keep tolerating this madness?

old enough to remember when a bunch of white guys in the beltway said the occupations and ethnic pogroms weren’t a big deal in July of this year
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Mother Jones didn’t die for this.
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

Why are you platforming him? His anti-Zionism is not one of human rights universalism. He just hates Jews. He’s a Christo-fascist tribalism who hates other tribalisms and has no love for any universal humanism.
Tucker Carlson describes Israeli PM Netanyahu as Western civilization’s “main enemy.”
He says Zionism and other forms of tribalism are “an attack on Western civilization.”
