Only Black folks get 4 hour lines. No lines in the exburbs ever!!!
They are true heroes because they have to deal with that bullshit every time.

People need to stop looking at lines like this and thinking wow this is so awesome so many people are voting and start seeing these insanely long lines as what they are- a form of voter suppression.

For the entire month of August there were zero shootings in the subway system. Why do we pay these people to stand around on the platform if they’re going to be the ones “accidentally” breaking that streak?

And he would STILL be one of the richest people on the planet.
Billionaires don't die if you tax them, vulnerable people do die if you take their healthcare away.

Luigi Mangione is going to serve the rest of his life in prison because he admittedly killed someone. No one in a healthcare company serves a minute in prison for the lives they take or ruin for refusing healthcare to people who need it. They are equally is guilty as Mangione.

Insurance executives admitted they intentionally denied Forrest VanPatten's cancer treatment claim even though it was illegal due to laws forcing insurers to approve cancer treatments. Forrest died before being told this¬ a single exec was ever charged

Ossoff: When he first announced the tariffs, you remember that? He called it Liberation Day, and it crashed the markets because it was clown policy. You remember that?
OK, so follow me through on this. He announces the tariffs on April 2 of last year. The markets tank nonstop for like a week because it’s a disastrous trade policy, and six days into the crash, April 8, Trump buys millions in stock. I’m talking Amazon, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and then the very next morning, April 9, he posts on Truth Social, quote, “This is a great time to buy.” Three exclamation marks.
OK, now listen to this. Three hours and 41 minutes after that post, one day after he bought millions in stock, he canceled the tariffs and triggered one of the biggest same-day rebound rallies in market history.
He’s trying to get money. And you saw, now he’s offering paid subscriptions to presidential announcements, right? Just understand what’s for sale here: The sitting president’s pronouncements on war and peace and economic policy delivered first to paying customers.
What an absolute crook.

The person who attacked Central Synagogue this past Shabbos was also obsessed with hating Mamdani, and also equated him to Khamenei in a recent post.
This kind of rhetoric is Islamophobic, and also dangerous to Jews - because hate and bigotry never stops at just one group. – at Bellerose Terrace, NY

I am horrified by the assault at Central Synagogue during services today. I can only imagine the pain and fear an attack like this, during Shabbat services, causes for the congregation and for Jewish New Yorkers across our city.
Every New Yorker must be able to observe their religion without fear of violence. This despicable act has no place in our city, and our administration will do everything in our power to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.
The alleged perpetrator is in custody and there is no known ongoing threat in or around the synagogue. We are in close contact with the NYPD and will share more information as it becomes available.

The fact that you can't even make out on a bench in Central Park without someone recording you on their iPhone and then posting it to social media as some kind of bit is everything that's wrong with society and I am not joking. The surveillance state (administered by an actual state or by the millions of people with phones who want to embarrass people on their TL) is essentially the least romantic thing imaginable in both the love sense and the living sense. It is anti-romantic and anti-life. Part of the reason why the before world was fun was the fact that you didn't have this kind of thing. The ability to do something without it being documented and recorded is the difference between being free vs an animal locked in a cage. There is a direct correlation between everyone constantly being afraid that someone is going to record them and post it somewhere and society becoming more neurotic, less fun, more boring, and less alive.
The self-administered surveillance state is the enemy of life.

If you’re Jewish and not with your family or congregation today, remember that you are part of a community that is not bound to a physical location. An eternally unified people, impossible to divide, committed to a set of undying principles. Shana Tova.
Lots of folks are replying with "this isn't leftism, this is just weird" and I have Thoughts:
I'm actually not willing to concede this is weird.
People have wide ranges of hobbies that they form community around. I'm not part of this scene, but it looks really friendly! (1/x)

Farmers in deep-red Pennsylvania are struggling to find workers.
“The whole thing is screwed up,” said one three-time Trump voter who runs a farm in the area. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.”
