Opinion | I believed Hillary Clinton was a sex trafficker because one of her donors owned a pizza restaurant and "cheese pizza" has the same initials as "child pornography." Here's why I don't think Donald Trump's multi-decade best friendship with a sex trafficker connects him to sex trafficking.

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

proud to have been ahead of Ms. Rachel on this one. ✊
Ms. Rachel (Rachel Griffin Accurso), the extremely popular children’s educator, said she unsubscribed from the The New York Times, “because of its biased and dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians and Palestine, and its failure to uphold journalistic integrity.”

Commitment to the bit has seldom paid off as it does with BAT BOY, a musical spun from tabloid fiction and embroidered with hoary horror and musical theatre tropes, thoroughgoing irreverence, witty craft, and a sneaky dash of sincerity. If that's your jam, the new Encores revival is worth your time.

Mamdani's victory wasn't only a repudiation of an old and exhausted political establishment in the city, it was also a triumph over the framing power of the political press, and none more so than the New York Times, whose coverage and editorials worked relentlessly to dampen his appeal.

Sometimes you don't know how hopeless you've been until someone gives you hope. What if we loved and were in solidarity with one another? It's such a simple question, but a profound one nonetheless.

Politics is supposed to be a vehicle for self-actualization and I hope that in this moment you can all feel that way. This city is for us.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.
