Oh yeah, he’s angling for that pardon.
1. Eric Adams dined with a top Trump ally in Long Island last night.

2. That ally is very tight with the incoming US Attorney for the Eastern District, which is investigating the mayor.

3. Adams ate branzino, even though he's a "vegan."

I’m not a fan of people airing dirty laundry in general, but I find it especially nasty when women air this specific type of info about men.

You didn’t give AF when you were willing to do it, you didn’t have any issue then, so why are you trying to set him up to be ridiculed now?

Trash behavior.

Once again, the tech bros watched the first part of a sci fi dystopia file (Gattaca, in this instance) and didn't finish the whole movie to see why this crap is a bad idea.

This is so funny to me because I didn’t know there’s people who don’t know crack is cooked 😭😭
I saw a tiktok of a Black woman (probably Gen z or younger millennial) saying she smoked crack by accident. She said she used to do a lil ❄️ for funsies and some guy she dated was cooking it. when she asked what he was doing, he said he was “purifying” it.

Yall realize you don't need to commit a crime to be charged with a crime and have years of your life fucked up, right?

Just look at what the state did to dismantle the Stop Cop City movement 👇

Unless Congress acts in the next three weeks, Medicare will stop covering telehealth.

For people too sick to leave home for months, including millions who have been disabled by Covid, this will mean losing all access to healthcare.

Especially when that president has the track record he does of exponentially increasing criminalization and not really doing anything to reverse that.
I just don’t think ANY president should pardon their family members, or their family members should be working in any official capacity related to the presidency. This is not a monarchy.

According to the article, Hochul's dodging the question of whether merely being undocumented means "criminal." If this bothers you, call her office and tell her NOT to help ICE deport undocumented New Yorkers. 518-474-8390.

The New York Democratic Party should be completely scrapped
“Someone breaks the law, I'll be the first one to call up ICE and say, ‘Get them out of here’”

The governor said she supports immigrants with “legal papers” but will cooperate with the Trump administration to remove immigrants who break the law.

This is amazing! I hope other places pass similar laws.
Sex workers in Belgium are now entitled to health insurance, pensions, sick days, maternity leave, safety protections and formal employment contracts under a new law.

This is the first law of its kind in the world.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
The Mystery of Food Deserts
They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

Same. Because no matter how much I win, I always think about how much more I would have had if I hadn’t lost in the first place, so just no.
I lost $20 on a parlay by one leg 3 months ago and immediately deleted the Fanduel app and been thinking about how I could’ve bought a lip gloss with that money ever since. Idk how y’all be getting gambling addictions.

AT BEST Poseidon is a fuckboi at worst he’s a rapist
She as descended from the gods they deposed and she WENT AWAY to be with her people and they KEPT SENDING MURDERS

I would be standing on Athena’s body
It’s surprising to find out people don’t assume this is a given. Because above and beyond all, the gods are the main culprits of what happened to her.
People love the idea of Medusa coming back to avenge herself to Perseus

But considering her actual history of she gets to take full revenge

The Gods have to die too

And oddly enough the feminists never get there?

We listen & we don’t judge. Y’all know how y’all be saying that Insecure really resonates with y’all to the point where y’all rewatch it multiple times a year? It just doesn’t do that for me. I haven’t rewatched that show once since it ended lol.
