NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

I feel like so many white people who are suffering will continue to support Trump/MAGA because they’re glad that black people are suffering.

Jonathan Greenblatt doing clean-up for Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation is the same as Kevin Roberts doing clean-up for Tucker Carlson is the same as Tucker Carlson doing clean-up for Nick Fuentes

I wonder why Hegseth didn’t just blow them all up first.

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

Kitty is handing out treats for the neighbor kids AND their parents.

Is that the same chandelier from the Mar-a-Largo bathroom?

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

As an educator, as a fellow woman in science, I’m fucking horrified that Lia Smith who was just a year from
graduation felt her only option was to take her own life.

I lay her death at the feet of all the people hounding trans women athletes like her, you fucking monsters

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Also a lesson in why “debate me” is a sham exercise, designed only to platform and amplify purely shit arguments.

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

Donald Trump's wildly inappropriate reaction to this (quite impressive) piece of Reaganite advertising ought to cause so many people to view the ad he doesn't want them to see that we'll have to rename the Streisand Effect the Ontario Effect.

Washington Post editorial board: Right-wing idiots who also cannot spell.

I suspect that the tech moguls just fed him platitudes (you’re the best president EVER) and promises (we’ll give you more money and golden trinkets).

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

Are there any national security implications here? I’ve always sort of figured that the White House is like a giant Faraday cage to prevent snooping by baddies. If you just blast away a whole side of the building, does that compromise security?

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

Seeing the White House torn apart is really emblematic of the times we’re in

The only thing that anyone ever needs to know about Bill Ackman is that he once joined a group of avid long distance bikers from NYC to Montauk and back without training or preparation, arrogant in his ability to "lead the pack" and ended up screaming in agony
