somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

Dems need to stay on TV/media 24/7 repeating a mantra that Rs are responsible and will not come to the table. Matter of fact they aren't even in town for last 4 weeks to negotiate the a reopening - they are on an extended vacation (but still getting paid of course).

Clown Show: yes: Cheap: no.
Fighting a single federal (felony) case could drive many people into bankruptcy - so, it's not exactly a "win" for anyone who wins cases against this regime. I am sure it's lesser for misdemeanors, but still $$$$$.
Win or lose they have beaten you down. 😒

We waited 20 years for John Bolton to be punished for telling lies about Iraq.

Instead, he gets punished for telling the truth about Trump.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID?

And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina.

Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

SCOTUS has been focused on chipping away at civil rights laws and policies for 20 years.

Today, the justices will hear oral arguments in a case that could represent not just another chip, but a fatal blow to the load-bearing pillar of American multi-racial democracy: The 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Voting Rights Are on the Supreme Court’s Chopping Block

Tuesday's case pits fanciful claims of racial harmony against the reality of ongoing discrimination.

Those could really kill people, aside from the torturous experience.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Apparently they have finally killed/cleared enough land/people (by bomb) to build their beach resorts. If not, I wouldn't get my hopes up..
