NYPD has 35,000 uniformed officers. “A few hundred” would be less than 1%. Annual turnover is probably 10 times that. 🥱

Another thing this email trove has convinced me of is that NYT has been actively and consciously helping Trump since 2015. It wasn't just casual sexism, double standards, and political reporting Kayfabe. They were doing catch and kill

Trump literally defies a court order to feed the poor - as part of an announced strategy to take away poor people’s health insurance - all while building a golden ballroom for himself - and approval rating drops 3 points. #Republicans 🤷🏻♂️

It was great to kickoff today's rally for Sean Ryan for Mayor, Kevin Hardwick for Comptroller and our entire democratic ticket. As I said today, if you don't like what's happening in America today you can send a message to President Trump and his allies by voting for our awesome democratic ticket.

Glenn Greenwald, two weeks before Trump's 1.6.2021 attempted coup. How has this guy not died of embarrassment by now?

The Threat of Authoritarianism in the U.S. is Very Real, and Has Nothing To Do With Trump
The COVID-driven centralization of economic power and information control in the hands of a few corporate monopolies poses enduring threats to political freedom.

In order to help prevent people from going hungry due to the SNAP shutdown, I am seeking legislative approval of a $1 million allocation to @feedmorewny.org to purchase 354,000 pounds of food for local food pantries. 140,000 county residents rely on SNAP. We must help them in their time of need.

Not the most important question* but how could one ballroom, no matter how lavish, cost $250 MILLION? 😱

Shameful of the NYT to be burying No Kings on its homepage. It’s the biggest story of the day and it is appropriately leading every other new site even WSJ.

It’s like how Hillary Clinton was criticized for being “over-prepared”. 🙄
genuinely wild the number of quote tweets that see this as an insult toward mamdani rather than as praise for his discipline and skill at translating personal charisma into political appeal
Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

The entire budget for USAID for FY2024 was $35 billion, and it was keeping millions of the world's poorest people fed and alive. Trump just sent $40 billion to Argentina to prop up the fascist chainsaw freak in his upcoming election.

Truth.
We don't arrest officials in this country because we disagree with them, nor do we arrest them because they are standing up for their communities. We all should stand with Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson because what's happening in Chicago could happen anywhere else.
