Ta-Nehisi Coates: Future Congresswoman Chevalier represents actual voters. A district filled with black and brown people. And what James Carville is saying is a “statement on how he feels about black and brown people, and the fact that they are useful to him when they vote the way that he agrees with. When they don’t, kick them out of the party. They don’t deserve representation.”
Coates said the Democratic Party “owes its very present existence to the Black freedom struggle.” “Is it actually honoring the core morality and principles of that struggle?” he asked.
The poor landlords are beginning to feel a small taste of what their tenants experience when their rent keeps going up and their wages remain stagnant.
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.
Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
Focus on building the party you actually support.
Political parties aren’t perfect, but they’re built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in. If you don’t believe in the party, then don’t ask its members to carry you across the finish line.

Surrogates of the campaign against Darializa have been peddling in anti-Black racism, specifically against Haitians. This has even included calling Darializa Haitian as though that were a slur. I condemn the vile racism in @EspaillatNY’s camp, and call on him to do the same.
MSG requested a permit for a watch party for 500-999 fans. We approved that permit for 999 fans.

I know this is breaking hearts across our city.
But if there's one thing Knicks fans don't need permission for, it's showing up for our team wherever we may be — no matter the block or the borough.
Knicks in five.
@AMCTheatres can I please receive a refund for the imax odyssey ticket I didn’t receive because your site said it couldn’t verify my payment information but still somehow charged my card?
At our city-owned grocery stores, staples like eggs and bread will actually be affordable.
And we're going to do it the right way, without cutting workers' pay or dignity.
Because in the wealthiest city in this country, buying groceries shouldn't be an unsolvable equation.
It should be simple, fair, and within reach for everyone.
Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders have officially approved Paramount Skydance’s $111B acquisition, but a majority rejected the massive payouts for CEO David Zaslav and top execs.
The vote is non-binding, meaning the WBD board can go ahead with the payouts as planned anyway, but signals continued investor frustration over executive compensation.
