We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Just finished the first 3 episodes and I am loving this show. So much reminds me of home, from the snogos to the gossiping to the words and stories that are conserved from NW Alaska to Nunavut. Yeah, like the article says, you'll recognize the stories, but you'll see some new ones too. #NorthOfNorth
My review of North of North, a charming comedy series, now streaming on Netflix, about a young Inuk woman trying to figure out her life in a remote Nunavut village:
'North of North' Is Set in Arctic Canada, but Radiates Warmth
Anna Lambe stars in 'North of North', an exceedingly appealing hangout comedy

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Just did the math and yes the tariff rate is *exactly* (abs(trade_deficit))/us_imports for each country. Where this number is <10%, it's 10%. Literally every single country matches precisely.

This administration is plainly incompetent:
Crashing the stock market
Alienating our allies
Leaking sensitive national security intel
Mistakenly deporting people
Firing thousands, then having to hire countless back

One cool thing about the United States is that there are more people whose job is to deny healthcare coverage without having any medical background than there are people to provide healthcare coverage and they’ve somehow convinced people that the doctors are where the monetary waste is happening
#medsky if an insurer is making a “determination if something is medically necessary”, how is it not a medical decision and therefore practicing medicine?
