I don’t want NYC to become a museum. It should be a living, breathing testament to the working people of our city.

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare.

The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

Solar PV on parking lots is in the argument for the best single infrastructure thing we could invest in to improve America. It has energy affordability, air quality, employment, and (of course) climate change benefits.

Been on this particular trip many times, but it never gets less crazy: Every single site that has ever handled fossil fuels, ever, is toxic. You are surrounded by this legacy, you see it every day, and if we labelled even a fraction of it, it would blow the politics of energy transition wide open.

In the news conference on Monday, Governor Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey said that since she entered office early this year, she has sought to reduce the burden of World Cup costs away from taxpayers in her state.

She said: “One of the key things I wanted to make sure is that we are not going to be paying for moving the people who are viewing the World Cup on the back of New Jersey taxpayers and New Jersey commuters. And so we worked together closely to make sure that that cost will not be borne by New Jerseyans.”

Sources at NJ Transit told The Athletic that the overall cost to the agency to put on services for the eight games, and account for disruption, will cost as much as $48 million. They say that FIFA’s security requirements are such that the games constitute the highest level security perimeter of any events hosted in New Jersey.

worth noting -- as @adamcrafton.bsky.social clearly reports -- the story is not "greedy Jersey Transit executives taking advantage of innocent matchgoing fans" but that the absurd costs of the event and its security are being put on the backs of state and local government bodies at the last minute

Mayor Zohran Mamdani behind the counter of a bodega in The Bronx, flanked by various people. A journalist with a microphone labeled “Shop Cats” is standing in front of the sales counter, and holding the mic up to a black and white cat sitting on the counter next to bananas. The cat has an expression like in the famous “Sir, are you aware that you are a cat” meme

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Biggest patches are the ironworks, the block northeast of those has four refineries/petrochem facilities, the block northwest of that has another three or four. The cluster lower left is another Aramco refinery. So this is +8 different major manufacturing facilities on fire by the looks of it.
