during trip to NYC, we sought out this 1/1200 scale geographic model of the 5 boroughs of NYC. The display fills a 10,000 sqft room in #QueensMuseum.
>400 sq miles reduced to 1/4 acre! 👀
This model was built 1964 & updated in 1998. So... some changes in the skyline since.

Trump is mentally unfit. Why won’t major media say so?
As well as being a would-be dictator, he’s unhinged and incompetent.

None of us should have to wonder from day to day if some institution is going to help destroy the 14th Amendment, worse when they take swings at it as if they either just heard about Reconstruction yesterday or just don’t care
You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”
All how you choose to frame it.

If you have cognitive dissonance over Hegseth cosplaying as an anti-drug warrior while 47 pardons a man who funneled 400 tons of cocaine in the the US... Congratulations! You’re paying attention.
But 47's abuse of pardons to enrich himself is even worse than that.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

The hepatitis B birth dose is safe, effective, and a critical shield against lifelong infection. Delaying it puts infants at risk for preventable, chronic HBV. Universal newborn vaccination saves lives and remains essential public health practice. #HepatitisB #VaccinesWork #IDSky

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

When the president sends federal agents after a class of people who are mostly citizens, the vast majority with permanent legal status, calls them "garbage" and says, "let them go back to where they came from." It makes you suspect this could be a racial thing.
