Hands down the most Islamophobic, homophobic, and conspiracy-minded person in city government. Seeking her endorsement is just one of the many disqualifying moments of Cuomo’s campaign.

I have seen lots of hand wringing about the early voting turnout being older and have we considered that the younger people are all waiting for Friday because they want the Halloween sticker

Larry Bushart, 61, spent over a month in jail over a liberal meme he posted on Facebook. He celebrated his freedom by eating wings, drinking margaritas — and posting a bunch more liberal memes on Facebook. Heart of a true boomer poster.

A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail.
The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

ICE terror is sort of like school shootings. It can and will happen anywhere and at any time and our kids, wherever they live or whatever they look like, will see it. The former is enabled by government inaction. The latter is a direct result of government action.
But I would argue that in America-where an estimated three million children are exposed to school shootings every year, where 16 million children who rely on government assistance to be fed are at risk of losing those benefits in an indefinite government shutdown, where early childhood education is not universal—there is nothing more serious or damning than government dysfunction making safety the ceiling for our children, as opposed to the floor. Broken government has made a safe, secure, and happy childhood a privilege, not a right. If you have ever been incensed about governmental inaction in the face of school shootings and the trauma they cause, then you should also be enraged that a new form of randomized terror and collective trauma is happening in America's cities right now. Kids and parents are being abducted, and the government is not just sitting on the sidelines: It's the one doing the abducting.

This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

A reminder that you don't need to understand everything you see
A quote from Ghostface Killah on art: "I don't give a fuck if you don't know what I'm talking about — this is art. When you see a painting in the wall and it looks bugged out because you don't know what the fuck he thinking, because he ain't got no benches, no trees there, it's just a splash. The n---- that did it know what the fuck it is.

When @wired.com made FOIA-based stories free, subscriptions went up.

When @404media.co published public records reporting without a paywall, new sources came forward.

We spoke to both about why dropping paywalls like this is good for journalism — and for business.
Wired and 404 Media make FOIA reporting free. Other news outlets should too

Holy shit. @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social has rounded up the @wsj.com's op-eds ranting against Mamdani. I laughed after the first screen, but then scrolled & realized there was more. And more. And more. And more. Honestly this warrants psychological analysis. This kind of obsession is not healthy.

couple things: do not panic. this rule WILL be held up in the courts for a long time.

also, keep an eye on the public comment period. the more comments they get, the longer it will take them to go through all the comments.
