It’s important to remember that throughout American history any “exceptionalism” embodied by the United States is at least in part the result of not only enterprise but enslavement and violent resource extraction.

Just double-checking: we’ve go $60,000,000 a day to bomb a country on the other side of the planet that most Americans can’t locate on a map but not $60,000,000 a day for domestic healthcare an nutritional aid. Got it. 👌

One thing this “war” is tacitly proving is that despite his populist anti-Beltway rhetoric Trump is a war economy president like all of those before him going back to FDR.

It’s one thing to critique conspiracy theories; everyone does it. It’s harder to critique elite behavior and recognize how it contributes to and indeed creates conspiratorial thinking in the population.

I’m sure the Ellisons’ relationship with Trump played little or no role…

The house is on fire and this guy is babbling about nothing.

Today, I’m releasing the City’s preliminary budget. After years of fiscal mismanagement, we’re staring at a $5.4 billion budget gap — and two paths. One: Albany can raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and the most profitable corporations and address the fiscal imbalance between our city and state. The other, a last resort: balance the budget on the backs of working people using the only tools at the City's disposal.   The first path matches a structural crisis with a sustainable and fair solution. I know where I stand. New Yorkers voted for bold change and competent leadership. We will deliver both, and we look forward to partnering with Albany to protect working New Yorkers.
