The oligarchy says “stop talking about egg prices!”

Trump’s trade wars, tax cuts for the rich, & rampant corporate greed have raised the cost of living for working families. Stop gaslighting us—eggs are just the tip of the iceberg.

Step one to making sure Eric Adams is a one-term mayor: buy this hat.

"your mayor getting blackmailed by a fascist" doesn't disenfranchise voters, apparently
jccoltin.bsky.social Jeff Coltin @jccoltin.bsky.social · Feb 18
Black clergy who are Mayor Adams' allies - Herbert Daughtry, Dennis Dillon and Conrad Tillard - are organizing a sign-on letter, saying removing the city's second Black mayor would disenfranchise voters.

a fake solution to a fake problem
bradlander.bsky.social Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · Feb 13
Due to rampant retail theft, New Yorkers can’t even make a quick stop at the drugstore anymore because everything is behind lock and key.

My solution? Launch a simple, one-stop platform for retail stores to streamline reporting, investigating, and preventing shoplifting.

There are patches of snow on the ground, but it's nothing like how it used to be. The climate crisis has changed my home, all of our homes. For the Evergreen Review I wrote about those changes and how I came to understand them and fight them.

A victory for the Cuban people and the Cuba solidarity movement! The Biden admin has taken the long overdue step of removing #Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terror list.

the only way the cops will find him is if he calls in his location from a nearby mcdonalds

copaganda glosses over the fact that most police departments have awful clearance rates and the ones they do clear are usually shit like “we found the husband standing over his wife’s body holding a gun”

so when their investigative powers are actually in the spotlight they don’t hold up so well

One of the NYPD brass said “this isn’t blue bloods” when explaining they can’t just immediately find the guy and I like that years of copaganda have set standards cops can’t meet and might be contributing to people’s correct perception that cops don’t effectively stop crime or find killers.

finally a reasonable take
Liberals and the left do not need the right to be online in the way that the right needs liberals and the left. The nature of reactionary politics demands constant confrontations- literal reactions- to the left. People like Rufo would have a substantially harder time trying to influence opinions on a platform without liberals. "Triggering the libs" sounds like a joke, but it is often essential for segments of the right. This explains the popularity of some X accounts with millions of followers, such as Libs of TikTok, whose purpose is to troll liberals. The more liberals leave X, the less value it offers to the right, both in terms of cultural relevance and in opportunities for trolling.

NEW: Reps. Lee, McGovern, Meeks, Castro, @aoc.bsky.social, @repcasar.bsky.social, and others demand Biden act now on #Cuba.

#SendAndEnd: Send aid and END Cuba’s SSOT designation. The stakes couldn’t be higher amid a U.S.-driven humanitarian crisis.

U.S. Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-12), Jim McGovern (MA-2), Gregory Meeks (NY-5), and Joaquin Castro (TX-20) led their colleagues in writing a letter to President Joe Biden urging immediate sanctions relief for the Cuban people amid widespread blackouts and an escalating energy crisis, exacerbated by the impact of Hurricane Rafael. “The situation is not only causing immense suffering for the Cuban people but also poses serious risks to U.S. national security interests,” the lawmakers wrote. “If left unaddressed, the crisis will almost certainly fuel increased migration, strain U.S. border management systems, and fully destabilize the already-strained Caribbean region.” Since 2022, over 850,000 Cubans have sought refuge in the United States. The ongoing collapse of essential services, particularly electricity, has further exacerbated this exodus. The lawmakers requested that President Biden remove the state sponsor of terror designation, expedite emergency humanitarian aid and technical assistance, issue safe harbor letters to address overcompliance with sanctions, suspend sanctions impeding aid, and facilitate energy infrastructure repair and modernization. “Even temporary relief can save lives and permit the Cuban people a chance to insulate themselves and their families from further vulnerability. We urge your administration to act swiftly to implement these measures and mitigate the growing crisis in Cuba while advancing U.S. interests in the region,” concluded the lawmakers.

Fun fact: I worked at the parent company when they acquired Newsweek. Turned out the company was run by a cult and the founders were later raided by the FBI.
