It's pretty fascinating seeing New Yorkers lose their minds (derogatory) about Mamdani. His vision for NYC is better than Cuomo's. Also: Cuomo's actions and decisions literally killed New Yorkers. How could anyone trust him to lead this city?

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

This #WomensHistoryMonth we once again acknowledge and reckon with Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey, the Mothers of Gynaecology. These enslaved Black women, along with nine other women whose names have been erased, were subjected to human experimentation without anaesthesia. We say their names.

Amazing parenting.

Why would a little boy say, “Shut the fuck up” if he wanted someone to be quiet? Was there someone in his life who maybe repeatedly said that to him? Also, where would he get the idea that Trump *isn’t* the President? Did someone also say that repeatedly to him?

Did Trump Quietly Kill a Sensitive Pentagon Probe into Elon Musk? The New York Times revealed last year that Musk and SpaceX failed to meet federal reporting requirements for Pentagon contractors. No one has asked: What’s going on with that today? newrepublic.com/article/1913...

As a longtime Arctic history buff who has actually spent time in the Arctic, I really must emphasize that there is SO MUCH MORE going on here than just “lol Trump vs. Denmark”

So many videos and workshops and I can't get the cert. I suppose I should do more research on the cert and not rely on these online-training sites keeping their courses up to date. But hey! I knew ~80% of the material and learned the 20% I was missing! #Linux #Certifications #onlinetraining

Excellent news because she’s someone who will actually fight.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York announced on Friday that she would seek the coveted position of top Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, challenging a more senior colleague to fill the vacancy.

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby. They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections). It’s pretty bad

It's called cryptocurrency, but new FDIC data shows that most Americans don't use it as currency—they mainly hold on to it for price gains, not for transfers or purchases. www.fdic.gov/household-su...

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.

"The biggest threat to the US is not fascism but mafia state autocracy. Not 20th-century style dictatorship, but controlled demolition by a billionaire criminal network, abetted by complicit actors within the US government"
