Mamdani: If the NYC apartment you keep solely for bi-yearly affairs with your mistress costs over 5 million dollars, you gotta pay more tax
NYPD officer who’s been on disability since 2006 because he stomped too hard on a lady during an arrest and fucked up his ankle: This is a travesty
A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.
Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.
You absolutely don't ever have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.
That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

/6 ICE is a monument to totalitarianism, lawlessness, and bigotry. It should be ripped out and woodchippered root and branch and replaced with something focused on the concept that you can’t defend the rule of law by burning it down.

We ALREADY have ICE concentration camps.
We are ALREADY so far gone.
Fuck the people who support this evil.
I agree in theory. People say "we're going to have elections in 2026 and 2028."

Roe was settled law. Dozens of people told me I was being "dramatic".
And here we are.
I don't think it's fair to scold people for believing Shitler when he says he wants to cancel elections.
/9 Anyway, a substantial project of the Right is to make it dangerous, expensive, and ideally illegal to speak the truth about them. Don’t give up an inch of ground.
Representative Ro Khanna has said: The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking.
If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.
The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.
if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live
So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified
The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow
Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
