In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession.
Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council.
We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will.
Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.
My best friend texted me this and took his own life. I missed him by 4 hours
Check on people you care about, I thought he would never do something like this
Uncle Iroh voice actor Greg Baldwin criticizes Paramount over the state of the 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' franchise
“Paramount doesn’t care about ATLA ... The new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted"
"Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely. They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism"
"ATLA is a mystery to them."
"They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise."
"Who should lose their jobs to AI? Answer… Studio Executives. Ironically…those cockroaches will be the last to go"
"In conclusion… Fuck you, Paramount"

@cedrichouse1994@ivy_interlude@kevinjette28 1. Arab states planned for war after rejecting UN's plan, not genocide.
2. British never armed Arab states.
3. Israel carried out 1st expulsion in Palestine before any Arabs entered the war.
4. Israel took land more than what was allocated by UN in '48.
5. You're an idiot
@cedrichouse1994@ivy_interlude@kevinjette28 oh so now that your West Bank point fell apart you want to pivot to history you know nothing about and purposely misrepresent the facts. you're a joke who can't even rely on the truth to defend yourself
@cedrichouse1994@ivy_interlude@kevinjette28 The number for Palestinian's expelled which then became Israel is over 750k. The land in Area A/B have been Palestinian for centuries, so not it's not stolen. You want to go farther in the past instead of talking about the 2 million displaced in Gaza as of today.
@cedrichouse1994@ivy_interlude@kevinjette28 LMAOO you're citing Oslo Accords but not saying how Israel had to gradually transfer back Area C to Palestinians (which never happened!) and fact check: they control Area C, not own.
and 20k? it was a few thousands that happened during the arab-israeli war in '48.
@michrules32@SamSeder because Dems will claim the victories of the NY mayor but never once stand in his defense against racist and Islamophobic attacks. you're saying you would rather ask the opposition to condemn themselves rather than the same team stand in solidarity
@beenwaitinforu nah fr this shit lowkey crushes my soul. i wanted the boy band era to come back and they were my favs but seeing this guy deny genocide, aid in selling occupied land, and show up to NY a protest when he lives in TN is so fucking weird dude
@cedrichouse1994@ivy_interlude@kevinjette28 first of all the pro-palestine protest they’re upset about is because the synagogue was hosting a real estate event where they sell land in occupied west bank. so yes people are going to protest selling land that is illegally being expanded upon even if it’s at a worship site
