Disturbing how fast some label people like Mamdani based on religion or background, yet ignore the long history of mass violence by white Christian men. We’ve seen countless acts of domestic terror, but white leaders are never made to answer for their race or faith. #zoharmamdani

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer for his work. I say this so maybe, maybe people will grok that when you put a decorated artist of that caliber on the stage, the performance is going to have a backbone to it that, like other Pulitzer decorated art, requires thought, engagement, and serious analysis.

Commentary: "Elon Musk and the Trump administration are attempting to dismantle the federal workforce and our intelligence agencies, but there’s just one problem: federal employees and veterans aren’t taking the bait."
Dear Elon: We Aren't Resigning, Stop Sending Us Stupid Emails
A veteran and federal employee explains why workers are rejecting Elon Musk's buyouts, and why the DOGE chief should stop before he breaks more laws.

I wish you didn’t love me fast
A rush to the finish line
A hurried walk
A mad dash to nowhere
Instead, I wish you loved me slowly
A saunter through the streets
A stroll through a park
The care that grows gardens
