“Does it make sense to give them a freebie? Yes, if it improves the life of the city, just as free parks, libraries and public schools do. Don’t think of it as a giveaway to the undeserving. Think of it as a gift to all New Yorkers in every community. We deserve it.” @galvinalmanza.bsky.social
There's a few likely consequences of having free buses...and they will probably surprise you! Really happy to be able to share this perspective today in the New York Times.

Hey, hey, ho, ho - detention centers have got to go.
And the fact that families have had to go into hiding in MN.
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

WHERE IS JONATHAN ROSS?
He should be in jail awaiting trial for the murder of Renee Good.

Where is Jonathan Ross?
A month ago he killed Renee Good. Is he on the streets, armed and ready to take more lives? Is he in a cushy office somewhere, living a good life off the taxpayer dime. Is he at a training facility, teaching feds to step in front of cars, kill, and say they were afraid?

You mean the man who was established as revoltingly sexually harassing a brilliant legal mind but Biden and many many others facilitated his rise to extraordinary power and to one of the US’ most notorious stories of corruption anyway?

Have reviewed thousands of documents from the Epstein Files.
I have located one and only one Black child rapist, a sole Black child abuser,
amidst the entire avalanche of disgustingness:
Justice Clarence Thomas.
Zero surprise there. Gross.

I'm still annoyed about a man in a recent Jordan Klepper segment. The guy kept insisting that going to the Melania movie is a celebration of "our country." In what way?

I think the Epstein files are the proof we need that no one should be a billionaire. At that point, you think you are above the law (and mostly are) while people could use that money to pay rent, feed themselves, get necessary healthcare, bus service, etc. Instead they rape and abuse girls.

Tech elites in California are at the center of the push towards techno-fascism + rampant inequality. They view themselves as a class with specific interests opposed to ours.
The fact that they feel the need for this PR stunt is telling. Push the rats into the sea. itsgoingdown.org/good-night-t...

So much for that old Gamer Gate nonsense. I have upped my video game playing by getting a product that allows me to play games with my kegels. 🤯 So much for video games being just for people with penises (which was never the truth).

A discussion about why Minnesota was so ready to reject ICE/CBP:
"Number one is the rigorous focus on agency-oriented organizing practice, a north star of building multiracial, democratic governing power. We have a majoritarian orientation — we want progressive and popular power."
