Imagine if the population of Boston started going back to Ireland and kicking off the irish from their homes and claiming that they (the Bostonians) are the true irishmen and that the irish are actually british and then push them all to County Sligo and then bombard it

I was told by the Supreme Court that the president can’t change the terms of student loans

Baltimore's drop in homicides - 23% since last year and a staggering 40% from two years ago - should be a national story. Mayor Scott's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which prioritizes resources to those most at risk and community engagement, should be studied and replicated.

I wrote about the new Annie Ernaux book, desire in a Venice hotel room & photography as ‘proof’

Biden/Kamala’s policies when presented blindly to Trump supporters were favored over Trump’s own policies. I think we’re post policy.

Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of “Killing In The Name”. The nice lady said, “I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!” I said, “Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.” She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking.

every “traditional” social norm was invented by advertisers in 1957 and every “newfangled social phenomenon” has been around for 3000 years

[The New Yorker Union @newyorkerunion]

The leadership of the @CondeNast and @NewYorker unions, along with the undersigned members, condemn the killing of journalists reporting on Israel’s siege of Gaza. Please read our statement in full here.

You’d think the US media would take an interest in Claudia Sheinbaum’s inauguration as the 1st woman & 1st Jewish head of state in North America, but she actually cares about poor people & the environment, as well as Palestine, so they see her as a fundamentally unserious person.

I love how J.D. Vance always links his mother's addiction with the border. She stole drugs from the hospital, J.D. They came from the drug factory in a box that said Purdue Pharmaceuticals on the side.

Lance Corporal Haidar is among 148 residents we have been desperately trying to help evacuate from Lebanon. One of my constituents was already killed in an Israeli airstrike.

The @StateDept is leaving Americans behind and failing to protect their own citizens.

Oh all of a sudden it's "Iran attacks Israel" and not "Explosions head above Tel Aviv say rumours, as Iran launches limited targeted incursion"

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

Our country is funding this bloodbath. Sending more of our troops and bombs to the region is not advancing peace. The U.S. government are conspirators to the war criminal Netanyahu's genocidal plan.
