Love and solidarity to everyone impacted by the destruction of the Washington Post. And all of Lena's judgement for the shitty billionaires tearing this country apart.

Dept of Homeland Security is murdering people where I used to live in Minneapolis. DHS is a threat to me and my family but @mayorbowser.dc.gov + DC MPD is hosting DHS on District property. @brianneknadeau.bsky.social, @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social, & @councilofdc.bsky.social must act. #EndDHS

Firefox works well for me and helps with providing just text from an article:
Screenshot of lithub in Firefox mobile app: lithub.com Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani Peter Coviello November 7, 2025 13 - 17 minutes It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a student there, who maybe resided only on the far periphery of your professional orbit, will become one or another kind of famous. At that point, out of the vast and silent ether, messages will come glowing into your inbox one after another. Do you remember this person? they will say. Was he your student? Did you work with him? We’re hoping for some insight—would it be possible for us to talk for a bit? I taught at a place called Bowdoin College for 16 years, and during the last of those there was a student in attendance you’ve perhaps heard of. His name is Zohran Mamdani. And so, shortly after his startling, spirit-lifting victory in the primary last spring, the gentle flood of inquiries commenced. Word had gotten out not only that he went to Bowdoin—again, a very pricey, very wealthy, quite comprehensively the-thing
