Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Happily greeting a war criminal on a red carpet. What an embarrassing moment for the United States.

Americans want universal healthcare, not national guard troops in our neighborhoods.

You cannot be “America First” while treating Americans like our communities as though we need military intervention.

We must not give into the urge to hate each other, our neighbors, family and friends.

Trump thinks shooting the messenger will change the weak jobs numbers that came out today. It won't.

He should stop fueling economic chaos rather than attempt to cover up the harm he is causing.
Trump fires labor statistics boss hours after the release of weak jobs report
Without evidence, Trump called the data "rigged" and implied that BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer manipulated the numbers "for political purposes."

I really wish American media had even half the courage as the Scottish newspapers to call a spade a spade and admit that Donald Trump is an unwelcome criminal, a felon and a fascistic sexual predator.

I want to know if the President of the United States is a pedophile. And I know the American people do too.

I'm shocked that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than stand up to a dead pedophile.

So why not release the files?

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay.

That's what @local802.bsky.social organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The Democrats are not a serious leftist opposition if they are willingly using stronger attacks against Zohran Mamdani advocating for values that New Yorkers/Americans actually want and they are not giving this same energy to Trump as he strips rights & autonomy away from millions. So out of touch.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Had incredible Japanese matcha today at Matcha Zenmai in Montréal. As a massive matcha lover, this spot will certainly become a place to revisit the next time I visit this gorgeous city.

It was some of the most authentic Japanese matcha I’ve ever tried.

À la prochaine !

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people."

We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power.

We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator.

We will win.

Here in the United States, we don’t have kings and we aren’t ruled by a monarchy.

The Trump administration is a threat to a peaceful world order.

Today, and every day, we are reminded that the people hold the true power in a society.
