It's amazing how calm things were at the #ColumbiaUniversity encampment, when the university banned one unprofessional, inflammatory, violent, foot-stamping petulant professor from further harassing students yesterday #freepalestine#divestnow@Columbia
@mattyglesias Whether it's historically/genetically accurate, I was told this is where Thalassemia in India most likely came from, as genetically it was concentrated in the Mediterranean and Pakistan. (Many light-skinned Indians love to claim European ancestry, and find "proof" to back it up.)
@SquarespaceHelp Multiple pages and images on ours NGO's and an affiliate's websites hosted on Squarespace still down. The issues is not fixed. At a time when we were featured in international news and traffic should be going to our website we're facing this. Fixed WHEN?
@NYCMayor I was very late to an important meeting because every @CitiBikeNYC dock nearby (in PLG) was iced over despite reading as active. @Lyft & @Citibank shouldn't get NYC contracts and our subscription fees for poorly maintained systems that are inaccurately described.
We have strange "either/or," black/white thinking on everything, as though two things can't be true. It seems Letitia James fraudulently claimed an investment property as a residence, AND she is facing malicious prosecution by a vengeful administration/president. Okay? Moving on.
@BirdBrklyn I saw a small raptor circling near my balcony in PLG (near SE corner of prospect park.) It had lots of dark spots on its white underbelly. It's the second time I've seen it. by the time I grabbed a camera, it was gone. Was it likely a Kestrel? Peregrine Falcon? Other?
Speaking as a Leftist, whatever p.o.s. a$shole just shot ( killed -- if you saw the horrific video...he's not surviving that) just made it very easy to further repress any Leftist ideology. I couldn't care less about Charlie Kirk, but I'm devastated abt what will follow.
@VerizonSupport When I can't reach any one after multiple attempts and hold times over an hour, in order to get unauthorized charges taken off my account, you leave me, the user, with no choice but to file fraud reports against the company.
@sirDukeDevin Yes, but she's been a highly disappointing representative who seemingly cares more about bombast and PR than being on the right side of history. She's let down her base and showed near indifference to actually improving many issues she campaigned on.
@MeghanMcCain You continually prove your reactive incompetence by an inability to research your posts, and the complexities of this ongoing apartheid struggle. These hostages were taken alive and even the victim's husband confirms it was ISRA3L's indiscriminate B0MBIng that killed his family.
@Megatron_ron The amount that cops here get paid to literally just bungle everything --in this case letting the culprit just walk away without question-- is mind-boggling and infuriating.
@esaagar@SaveStandard No. #PermanentDST is the way! The sun should NEVER set before 5PM. It's better our dreary winter days have light from 8:30AM to 5:30PM. We'll still get 5:30 AM sunrises and 8:30PM sunsets in the long days of summer, but kids will have 2 hours of light after school in Winter.
@AlexHooper911@esaagar@SaveStandard Right now, if you live in NYC like me, the latest sunrise at any point in the year is ~7:30, but that means in the shortest days of winter, the sun sets at 4:30. W/ permanent DST, on the shortest days you get 8:30 to 5:30 light. Long summer days will still be 5:30 to 8:30 light!
@DangrMous@DoctorFishbones I know you wish this was a right/left issue, but leaders of companies who take higher salaries for denying people critical care and relief, this causing the deaths of tens of thousands, are not mourned by any side of the political spectrum. Only by elites and their lackeys.
@CollinRugg "Michael Jackson...intimidator???" This Mayor is painfully stupid. Painfully. To be so dumb and so confident is such a pitiful combination.
@ShayanaKadidal@theCCR CONGRATULATIONS @TheCCR!!!!!!!! This has been a long time coming! What a great day for accountability against the Wild West (Middle East) mentality of military contractors.
@StephanieJ_DC I mean it's not like you can't do all the same stuff and be anti-genocide, fight hard for universal healthcare, ban corporations from buying up all the homes and making them unaffordable, etc etc. Like, clearly there's a problem/disconnect, so let's talk solutions?
@CAKitchener Why is everyone acting like people can't subscribe again ? If enough people cancel, there's at least evidence to support fighting back. If you just say "oh, we're upset but there's nothing we can really do," then what is the point? It's all abt the bottom line.
