How the Shadow of Jeffrey Epstein
Hangs Over Trump’s UK State Visit

The president of the United States literally announces he's going to start a war AGAINST AN AMERICAN CITY. And I wake up this morning, and it's a minor headline on the @nytimes.com home page, and at @washingtonpost.com, I don't see it anywhere on the homepage.

You Think the Bari Weiss–CBS News Story Is Bad? No—It’s Much Worse.
This is an “only in America” story, all right. Creepy, corporate, neofascist America, that is.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani, quoting #MLK reminds me that Michael Harrington used this same quote a lot to contextualize democratic socialism to Americans.
“Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism. There has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God’s children in this country.”"
