What Congress should do is introduce a bill to pay H-1B visa employees at or above the local market rate. This is the only way to prevent companies from hiring them solely for cost-cutting reasons, ensuring that Americans with the same skill set are given priority.

Hitboy did so great with the production on King's Disease 3 and Magic.

I hope that for the album next month, Dj Premier 'at least' matches that, and that he inspires Nas to be at his lyrical best.
I hope for that to at least be his third best album. I doubt Nas can beat Illmatic and It Was Written.

I believe there were some millionaires who were afraid of Mamdani without knowing that they don't even qualify to be taxed. 🤦🏾‍♂️
You can be a millionaire without making 1 million dollars per year.
In New York, less than 1 percent of people make that much. Those are the people Mamdani wants to tax.

When Mamdani was running, I kept hearing that he'll be as terrible as London's Sadiq Khan.
My question is, if Khan is that terrible, why did he win a third term last year?

What's the point of fighting when you're definitely going to cave anyway?
However, I can see how pretending to fight might help Democrats in the midterms.

I just wish progressives would primary every corporate Democrat who are waiting in the wings to capitulate when it's their turn to do so

That senator who you are currently proud of cause they weren't part of the 8 senators who folded to Republicans, will disappoint you in the future.
Their turn to be a villain has not yet come.
Corporations who donate money to them pick and choose who they want that to be...

I hope @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social becomes an activist Mayor regarding taxing millionaires the 2 percent that's needed.
If he fails to convince the Governor to sign off on the tax increase, then he should urge New Yorkers to peacefully protest. Huge crowds would pose a threat to her reelection bid

You'll see more of this as AI keeps taking jobs.
If you think Mamdani is a once in a generation type of candidate, you may be surprised to know that lots of young people and naturalized citizens have similar swagger. They are just preoccupied by the office desk.

Zohran Mamdani's historic election win will likely not be the last time a candidate under 35 will win a major race, political experts said.

At times I watch a movie where a woman is in an abusive relationship. She gets beaten up daily and then ends up committing suicide.
I always wonder, if you are going to kill yourself which I don't recommend, then on your way out, you might as well take out the evil bastard who made you that way.

If Trump and his billionaire friends didn't endorse Cuomo, would he have won?
I don't think so but it would have prevented Mamdani from winning over 50 percent of the votes.

This Ransom EP produced by DJ Premier is dope. It gives me hope for what's to come when Nas drops this December. Now I can relax.

If you play Fantasy Premier League then please respond to this. Thanks.

I feel like the reason why the wealthy are fighting Mamdani so hard is not just about the Mayoral race. They know that someday in the future, if he can't be slowed down, he'd take a Senate seat that would otherwise have been kept by a corporate Democrat, and he'll hold onto it as long as he's alive.
November 1, 2025 at 12:08 AM
At times, it's the little things that could help boost a campaign.
I wouldn't be surprised if the attacks on Mamdani about him using his hands to eat, could turn out a lot of Americans who became naturalized citizens.
There are foods that are eaten with the hands in lots of countries.

I wonder if there is a right wing outlet that actually dabbles in facts and issues that matter to the American people instead of fear.
If there isn't, why isn't someone jumping on that lane? Seems wide open to me.
I mean not to me as I'm on the left, but you get what I meant. 😀

The key bit of the story is she exists (unlike the fictional couple Schumer made up) and she was afraid to wear her hijab because of Islamophobia.

That she was technically an older cousin, he called his aunt is not a story.

In the final days of New York City’s mayoral race, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has faced pushback over a story he told about his aunt being afraid to wear her hijab while riding the subway after the September 11, 2001, attacks. https://cnn.it/432IAcr

If the majority eventually blame Democrats for the shutdown and Democrats buckle, then the country would be in serious trouble.
Next time, Republicans will introduce more things that hurt the people, knowing they could just use the government shutdown to wait until the blame goes the other way. 🤦🏾‍♂️

This always gives me chills cause it's true. The Era we love the most was indeed the early 90's to late 2000s.

The New Mobb Deep album keeps getting better and better on multiple listens.
I went from thinking it's an 8/10 to now giving it a 9/10. I wonder what will happen tomorrow

Some of the tracks I had issues with at first now feel so dope that the issues I had either aren't there or are inconsequential

@jay.bsky.team Any plans of tweaking the UI a bit?
It has been boring for ages. Even Twitter looks better despite sharing a somewhat similar design concept.
