Theo Von just said what everyone’s thinking out loud.
“All of this is run … by a higher cabal.”
“There’s not really two sides anymore.”
“I don’t think voters think that they’re Democrat or Republican anymore.”
“These walls have dissolved.”
“It doesn’t feel real anymore.”
“Everybody I talk to is like, there’s not a side anymore.”
“Bernie got railroaded by his party.”
“They never even had a primary.”
Zohran Mamdani: “In the last presidential election … about a third did not vote.”
“People are choosing a new side, which is to be uninvolved.”
“A lot of people look at the struggles in their life, and then they look at the politics they’re offered and they’re like: this has nothing to do with me.”
“You look outside your window, you see a pothole, you’re like, how could I believe that the same government that can’t fix this could do that?”
“They don’t owe you that belief.”

Airing a piece that reframes the many RAPES of Deshaun Watson as “adversity” would be shameful for everyone involved at any time
But doing it in the wake of this Cornell news is next level evil stuff
Mexico’s fight for independence is the triumph of a people determined to shape their own future.
Today, I was proud to be the first New York City Mayor to march in Sunset Park’s Mexican Independence Day Parade alongside a community that has fostered cultural pride across generations.
Mexican New Yorkers are at the heart of our city and its fight for a better future.
Yeah, the world I grew up in would have celebrated this. It embraced diversity (at times clumsily) then 9/11 made us fear the world, Obama drove insecure racists insane, social media allowed the village idiots to find each other, & COVID gave ppl an excuse to be selfish assholes.
"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

Today, rather than focus on the price of gas, the price of groceries, ending the war, or stopping the trade war, Congress spent its time declaring this.
“Dear colleges that receive American taxpayer money: We will take away that American taxpayer money if you decide to keep it from going to Israel.”
Aside from being blatantly unconstitutional, it’s wild. Why is it wrong to want our taxpayer money spent here to provide for schools here instead of being sent somewhere else?
