Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Went to planned parenthood with my old roommate and there were church ppl outside accusing her of abortion so I said “We’re here to find out if she has cancer. So we’ll see if your god is good or not” And I shit you not when we came out they weren’t there anymore

Every city needs to do this asap
As cities become hotter and hotter and unbearable
Trees are the real air conditioning systems that cool cities down without any of the negative costs of AC

NEW: The owner of the only store in *the* reddest town on the Maine coast between the NH border and remote Washington County was arrested by ICE — now residents are rallying for his release.

I'm always for being open about mental health, but important context is that Kean, as a state rep, voted against the New Jersey Paid Sick Leave Act, which established 40 hours of sick leave for employees a year.

Kean just took *4 months* of paid sick leave.

A cute little bit of NYC trivia is that the subway voice is not a robot or computer voice, it's this very neat trans woman.

It's actually not necessary to have the system work this way. This year, New York state banned CPS investigations based solely on anonymous complaints. Callers' identities are still kept strictly confidential, but they have to identify themselves.

This is horrific and I’m sorry it happened to him and his family. Sadly, in his substack post, he makes no mention of the trauma, often worse, routinely inflicted by CPS on marginalized families. Just the opposite, he applauds their professionalism.

“Four Haitian women who were deported from the United States in February were found beheaded and dumped in a river several months later, lawyers said in court documents.”

people who showed up to a protest outside an ICE facility and left when things got chaotic are getting HALF CENTURY sentences in federal court right now, my god

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

sentencing is happening now and 5 of the defendants have received 50 year sentences. chilling and should be a huge story

When Mamdani got in, my landlord started doing things he was supposed to be doing for years because he knew Mamdani was with the tenants, not the landlords. For example, monthly extermination hadn't happened in the 7 years I've been in my building until literally this year.

[Josie Stratman @JosieStratman]

Mayor Mamdani tells graduates at Rikers Island “there will always be a place for you in NYC.”

“If today is proof of anything, it is that you have the power to move your life forward, even when everything feels like it is pulling you backwards.”

That's our member behind the wheel. He was pulled out of the cab and suffered shock and physical injury to his arm, back and head.

The whole city is elated about our hometown team — and that includes drivers who watched the game last night at airport lots while waiting for the next fare, listened on their radios while cruising for the next job, and huddled at hotel lines with the same heart-stopping anxiety that turned into the most beautiful joy.

Pulling the cab driver out of his seat, stomping on and shattering his hood turned our joy into a nightmare.

When you see the yellow, do you not see the person behind the wheel? That's someone's spouse, child, parent or friend — a New Yorker.

He wasn’t out there for a joy ride, he was working to make ends meet and to get his fellow New Yorkers home safely.

Cabbies pay just to go to work. They pay for their cars — whether through loans or leases.

Drivers need safety on the job, both in the quiet moments of ordinary days and in the middle of public celebration.

Shame on anyone who turns these joyful moments into nightmares for fellow New Yorkers.

New Yorker exposé of Andrew Tate is even more horrifying than what we already knew. According to it, he raped and beat a 15-year old girl and bought her off with teddy bears. Tate was promoted by Tucker Carlson, Don Trump Jr., and Musk suggested he should be UK prime minister
