John Krasinsky and Chris Pratt are handed two ends of a broken pool cue at CIA headquarters, whoever emerges alive gets to play the lead in the already-in-production Iran War downed pilot rescue movie

Future NYT Editorials:

Will freezing rent make NYC more affordable?
Landlords say no.

Zohran’s Refusal to Join the IDF is Hurting New Yorkers.

Yes Zohran, you are running for mayor of Tel Aviv

Will Zohran Mamdani hurt Democrats in the midterms?

Why I left the Zohran campaign

Novavax is the superior vaccine, some of us 🙋🏻‍♂️ been shouting this for four years now.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

This is the first major police crackdown of the school year of anti-genocide student protestors - no coincidence that it’s UMich, which has a sizable Arab/Muslim student population in a state with the largest concentration of Muslims/Arabs.

[Waleed Shahid 🪬 @_waleedshahid]

CBS poll: 61% of Americans oppose weapons aid to Israel’s assault in Gaza. 77% of Democrats and 63% of self-identifying moderates reject US weapons aid to Israel.

77% of under 30 oppose weapons aid to Israel, 75% of Black Americans, 66% of women, 56% of white college grads.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

another element to this is the average reader of NYT dispatches about the West Bank would have zero idea the Israeli occupation is entirely illegal under intl law, people are given the distinct impression its legitimately disputed territory they just aw shucks disagree about

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Notice the difference in NYT’s language. Palestinians have symbols of “militancy,” Ukrainians have symbols of “resistance” to “occupation.”

Palestinians have lived under Israel’s military occupation for decades, yet, in the Western world, they’ve never had the right to resist.

When you try to troll a candidate who is a scientist, be prepared for a science lesson. 🤷‍♀️

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

That’s quite the headline. No mincing words.

[julie is voting Green 💚ψ😷 @jubunnies]

when most people say this they absolutely mean 2020. most people were not masking by summer of 2021.

I find the horseshoeing of antivaxxers and covid aware people fascinating. One side is like, “Here is where to find apple-flavoured horse paste. Viruses were never real” and the other side is, “This @StatCan_eng report shows prevalence of long-term symptoms is 34% after 3 infxns”

I just disrupted Obama at the DNC with Free Free Palestine ✌️❤️🍉🇵🇸 @codepink

[Just Sam 🍉🇵🇸 @SamSchmidt2023]

I talk about this all the time.

Folks really believe there’s a social safety net in place for homelessness.

Last week I called every shelter in the city for a bed for a dv victim running from her abuser. There were none. There are almost always none.

[@TheCoreyRichardson on Threads. Follow Me There. @vexedinthecity]

The Tesla Cybertruck is the perfect avatar for this current strain of right wing “masculinity.” It’s self aggrandizing while being functionally useless. Astonishingly weak compared to is peers. And it’s hard to figure out its appeal because it’s just so ugly. Tell me I’m wrong.

[Barry Hunt @BarryHunt008]

Just a reminder, unlike Pfizer & Moderna, Novavax targets S2

The stable part of the Spike protein

The part that doesn't vary between mutations

More & more that appears to be a good thing

👏👏👏

not to sound like Detective John Munch but this random black vs palestine beef seems very orchestrated and out of the blue

[Michae| @Plz_Relax_]

You said "Vote for Biden and then hold him accountable" and then he committed genocide. You have lost the argument.

[America The Ghetto @Lizzurr]

No free healthcare. No free higher education. No free school meals. American taxpayers are only allowed to foot the bills meant immiserate people that’s it. Countless billions to continue the genocide and annihilate Palestinians. This country is unforgivably evil.

[Jennifer Jajeh @jenjajeh]

Biden, Harris et al are giving cover, sending troops & weapons to commit a genocide while talking out the other side of their mouths. They could stop all of this in an instant, but they don’t want it to end. Keep disrupting & calling them out everywhere. They are responsible.
