They pay $34 for burgers. Should their fire department service be free? Opening a new fire department in one of NYC's richest neighborhoods has some of America's pettiest journalists asking silly questions in headlines again.🤡

The article acknowledges the fire department analogy, then blows past it.🤷🏿‍♂️

The solve for "Sometimes when a service like free childcare is available to all, marginalized communities get squeezed out," is "Address that racism."

It's not "Therefore waste incredible amounts of time and money trying to means test something that society should just make available to all.🤡"

Mayor Mamdani wages war… on potholes.

A reminder that the reason why he's upsetting so many politicians and people on the right is because he's proving that progress doesn't have to take time. It can be done, if we have leaders willing to act. ❤️✊🏽 https://youtube.com/shorts/de_WJCoClPM?si=qo05v1AcoJ93Sqnp

You know how in every movie set during WWII there’s a scene where Nazis are checking papers on the trains? That is the USA as of today

No, seriously - I can't possibly overstate the value in my life that has come from the internet or how it has enriched me.

Like Ed Zitron & @pluralistic have both written about at various times, I'm not mad at technology - I'm fucking furious at the fuckfaces who deliberately ruined it, just so they could squat their ignoble asses upon a mountain of riches like the shittiest, saddest little saggy dragons imaginable.

Unmasked ICE agents at airports? This is going to be a very public lesson in joining databases. 🤷🏿‍♂️

People are going to compile a database of unmasked ICE agents at airports.

People are going to join this database of unmasked ICE agents, with masked ICE agents breaking the law.

I'm not encouraging it. I'm saying it's going to happen.

That list of confirmed identities and evidence of law breaking, will then be forwarded to local law enforcement for prosecution.

Local DAs must then make a choice of whether to prosecute or not, based on the evidence in each case.

So to recap:
•Trump illegally bombed Iran.
•Iran responded by closing the Straight of Hormuz, thus spiking oil prices.
•Trump is now responding by lifting sanctions on Iranian oil, thus funding the regime he's bombing—all as the Straight of Hormuz remains closed.

So in short, Trump bombed Iran, raised oil prices for Americans, and gave Iran more money. Masterful gambit by the author of the Art of the Deal.

Are we great yet?
