At Thanksgiving, we were talking about how wonderful it will be to have a Mayor who actually loves New York City. The last one was probably Ed Koch.
A message for you this chili Sunday afternoon:

Grotesquely inappropriate affect. Hoping to use this as a reason to kill civilians at will, presumably.
Pete Hegseth says Trump has asked him to add 500 more National Guard troops to Washington D.C.

It's unclear why he seems to be smirking throughout much of this.

There was a terrible shooting today in one of the most protected places in the world, a couple of blocks from the White House. Please wait until accurate information is released, and don't share unreliable speculation of any kind. All we know for sure is that this is another American tragedy.

If you needed another reason to support Aftyn Behn, keep in mind what a devastating blow her victory would be for Trumpism and the Republican Party. This is the rare race with national implications, and @aftynbehn.bsky.social is a stellar candidate!

Cutting USAID alone has already resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths, with millions more to come.
Sam is right. DOGE did exactly what they wanted it to do- hurt poor people, destroyed faith in government, enriched Elon.

@aftynbehn.bsky.social is going to fight to help Tennessee. This is what everyone should want in their representative.

Here's some very practical thinking about the whole whistle thing -- very well done:
Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

On a Saturday afternoon, what would be better than going to your polling place to early vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social ? It will make you feel happy.
🚨OUR NEW AD JUST DROPPED 🚨

Washington is giving billionaires the easy ride—while hard-working Tennessean get a rough ride due to bad policies.

I’m running for Congress to change that. Vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social beginning on Nov. 12 to shake up Washington. Election Dec. 2nd

"Swastikas are bad" used to be such a low bar.
November 22, 2025 at 9:15 AM
Yep. Everything feels so entirely--odd.
I can’t quite put it into words, but Trump praising Mamdani on the same day that MTG resigns in opposition to “big Tech, big Pharma, the war complex and big donors” feels like a harbinger of realignment.

There is a political earthquake trembling beneath the surface waiting to break through.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

"Things happen."
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.
