The Penn Station Access project will shorten commute times and offer new routes to critical access points for everyday working people.

@repritchie.bsky.social and I are urging Amtrak to ensure that the project is delivered on time and not delayed to 2030.

Weak men like Bill Ferguson need to learn to fight fire with fire, or let stronger people lead the way.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

The immediate adaptation towards a "logic" that at it's core is: it's a person when I decide it's a person (i.e. 'therapy') and not when I decide it's not (i.e. a 'tool') is chilling.

As a black person AND a therapist, it's not that we're cooked...

It's the collective decision to cook ourselves.

I had a 45 year old rideshare driver tell me recently that he uses AI for therapy.

I asked him which one. He said “Grok— I like the voice it uses, the tone doesn’t talk down to me like ChatGPT’s does.”

He bragged that he had a 4 hour “therapy session” talking to Grok.

Chat, are we cooked?

The main enemy of Ukraine in the West is Trump.
Yet, Ukrainian-Americans are traditionally republicans & for that reason they support Trump, although they became republicans because the GOP supported Ukraine.
How dumb can you get?!

I keep hearing Trump and Republicans say rising health care costs isn’t an urgent problem, but take a look at the price increases on the ACA exchange for the same insurance plans from 2025 to 2026. Millions of Americans are about to get screwed over with higher bills.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.

Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

President Trump is dismantling democracy piece by piece—and it’s happening gradually, which can make it easy to lose track of just how much has changed.

That's why we're keeping a record so you don't have to.

The unthinkable has happened. Through generations of service under administrations from both parties, America's food assistance program has never been allowed to fail U.S. families—until today, and this Trump shutdown.

No one should have to go hungry in America.

The Trump administration spending ledger:

✅ $40 billion for Argentina
✅ $230 million for Trump's grievances against the Department of Justice
✅ $300 million for a golden ballroom
❌ $0 to save 42 million Americans from hunger
❌ $0 to stop your health care costs from going up 30%

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.”

This is like Drunk History meets This Old House

“Art Deco doesn’t go with, you know, 1850 and civil wars and all of the problems,” Mr. Trump said. “But what does is statuary marble. So I ripped it apart and we built the bathroom. It’s absolutely gorgeous and totally in keeping with that time.”
