Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right? Mamdani: I can hold your hand. Sliwa: What happens if I faint? Mamdani: I got you. Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally. New Yorkers can find free flu shots and locations at nyc.gov/healthmap

Watergate was about an election. They're doing this because they are looking for a reason to exonerate Nixon so Trump can cheat in the election. They are looking to break into the DNC, like Nixon did, but "legally" using Marshall Law. When ypu know history, these ppl are SO transparent.

Black artists said this was happe ingredients and going to happen on a larger scale in the 90s. No one wanted to listen. Specifically 👇🏾 this guy called it out 30 years ago. They branded him as weird, difficult, greedy.

Richard Nixon resigned a month before I was born in 1974. Why are we relitigating this 52 years later? The SAME ppl who have the audacity to tell Black people to get over 200 years of slavery, 100 years of Jim Crow, and 62 years of being free-ish while they try to drag us back to the beginning!

Trump 2.0 is the clusterfuck many of us expected Trump 1.0 to be. He's the same ignorant, lazy, and incompetent man. The only difference is in 2017, the GOP surrounded him with competent people minus some concessions. After breaking the spine of the GOP, HE chose the ppl who we expectedin 2017.

So the purpose 9f this hearing is to sow doubt in the upcoming election by going back to the election he lost... got it. Republicans in Congress are wasting our time and money! They aren't serious. They have nothing to run on so THIS is the stunt they pull hoping for an "October surprise." So dumb!

Wait! So Trump said tariffs will pay for his $5,000 bribe. So you are saying people will just get their money back, nothing extra?! OR you could just get prices slower so the "bribe" is unnecessary. And no one is getting a "dividend" check from a country that is over 20 trillion in debt!

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

My mother died from a preventable disease caused by chronic high blood pressure because the medication cost too much and she couldn’t get medicade. Once she became irreversibly ill with heart failure of course she qualified. Her only sin was being poor, not lazy.

And they were later acquitted, found totally innocent of it and the city had to pay for their tunnel vision but it wasn’t worth what these “kids” at the time went through. New York, a blue state. That’s why I say you can’t judge a person but the state they’re from. Racist are all over the country.

Things have moved around and spread out since those days. They’re hidden all over the country in every state all the way to the Canadian border. The Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the white nationalist Counter-Currents are active in liberal San Francisco, but keep a low profile.

We know who does hang Black folks from trees. They are the same ones that have been doing it for as long as Black folks have been here. They are the same ones who shoot unarmed black people in the back. They shoot them for driving or walking while black. They are racists and the bigots.

No one EVER asks Republicans how they are going to peel off or appeal to Dems or independent voters. But they ALWAYS ask Democrats how they are going to peel off or appeal to Republicans or independent voters. Then proceed, as they have the last 10 yrs, trying to understand Republican voters?!

We grocery shop with a strategy and a budget. We know the healthiest foods can be found around the perimeter of the store. We know shopping when you are hungry will cause you to spend more to address the hunger. We know what is in the flyer and on the rewards card, and we have meals planned.

So, Trump hosts the leader of the country who is the biggest ally of our adversary in Trump’s war. Then when said adversary proposes a ceasefire, Trump rejects it 38 days before an election where ppl cite the war as an issue they're voting on. 🤔🤔🤔 What did that ally of the adversary ask of Trump?

Things are adding up: why their IPO delay, why all the AI bros are crying over what harm AI "could" do. It's because it already did. They can't put the cork back in the bottle AND they want to make as much money as they can until a law says no. So they ask for a law knowing it will take time.

We have a whole administration of men who say they are "alphas" who make decisions based on logic but when the press asks how decisions were made, the response is "I felt it." If you ever need proof of who makes more logical decisions: compare how a woman grocery shops vs how a man grocery shops.

And those rules are racialized then weaponized. Young Black folks entering the workforce need to know they will be judged more harshly for this. Certain graces will not be extended to you. The world may say it has "progressed," but in practice where power can shift, this is rarely ever true.

Aisha K. Staggers @akstaggers.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
The rules are different for Black people. This is not our discussion. We cannot do this. It WILL (and is) be held against us, sadly. The standards are different act accordingly. It shouldn't be this way, but we can't change the rules until we know what they are for US!

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Maybe. But listen to Black people because a lot of folks think the law will hold until it doesn't.... You thought this about Roe. You thought this about the Voting Rights Act. At what point do you realize that your rights are temporary and any "suggestion" to evade them can be realized?

At this point Trump likes picking and choosing when and where to ban the media. At this point I would support the media not trying anymore until they resolve this in court. Because until he sees there is no desire to cover him, the sooner that narcissist will comply. He likes control, take it away.
