It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)

suboptimal to me that the richest man on the planet believes this

People who are complaining that he spends the first half of the movie murdering white people not migrants fail to understand that it’s hammering home an important premise.

I still can’t believe this Great Blue Heron let me witness this tonight. Those wild feathers are breeding plumes, and seeing them lit softly in the evening shadows felt almost unreal.
Alt text: A Great Blue Heron stands in shallow water at dusk with its breeding plumes fluffed outward in all directions. Soft blue evening shadows surround the bird while its reflection ripples faintly beneath it in the calm water.

Okay, bear with me for a second. Because I've held this theory for a long time. And I kinda feels like this confirms it. The death of Harambe was the tipping point of no return for the unserious right-wing turn of America. 🧵
The official White House Twitter account posted a picture of Harambe the gorilla with a caption that reads:

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

I f*cking hated the word "addiction." My father was an addict. "Weaklings" & "idiots" & "monsters" were addicts. It took me a long time & a lot of drama to truly accept that addiction & trauma are inextricably entwined-- & I was not the exception.

men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.”  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isn’t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  That’s not tyranny.  That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history.  We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.

And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

American workers are taking home the smallest slice of the economic pie ever. One year into Trump's regime, the economic consequences are as clear as day: four out of five working class people are suffering while the top 1% capture more of the pie than they ever have.

In most of the world day-to-day weather variations are still much larger than long-term global warming. As a result, both daily record highs and daily record lows remain common. However as the world warms, new daily record highs consistently far outnumber new daily record lows. 🧪

I talked to @haaretzcom.bsky.social about Palestine and Israel, generational trauma, and how the far-right is trying weaponize Palestinian, Israeli, and Jewish pain for its authoritarian own agenda: www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...
Kat Abughazaleh Is the Gen Z Granddaughter of Nakba Survivors, and She's Running for Congress
The 26-year-old is running to represent Chicago on Capitol Hill. Kat Abughazaleh talks to Haaretz about calling out antisemitism on the left, why breaking cycles of trauma matters in politics and why 'we cannot make this a single-issue election'Her experience reporting on conspiracy theories has propelled her to call out antisemitism while also attacking any conflation of antisemitism with campus protests that have been central to the Trump administration's attacks.
"Most of them were extremely peaceful and also had a lot of Jewish leaders," she says, noting that she attended the encampment at GWU.
"To call that antisemitic is an insult to the protesters that were there. It's what authoritarians always do: They attack education, Jewish people, queer people, immigrants, any noticeable minority to try to pit them against other people," she says, noting the prevalence of the "great replacement theory" among senior U.S. officials.Growing up in post-9/11 Texas, Abughazaleh notes the effort her father made to break cycles of trauma by ensuring his children were around Jewish people.
"I have lots of Jewish friends who also had the same thing, where their parents or grandparents, survived the Holocaust. There's no arguing with trauma. When you're traumatized and afraid, you lash out, you make notions that might never be dispelled. But your kids can do that. Now, our generation is kind of trying to continue the work and not just break the cycle, but join together," she says.

If you are a Asian woman immigrant mother and business owner who has had to effectively raise her husband as well as be his partner, and you have disappointed your father, your husband and your daughter, and now your government, a series of universes where you are alternately a hero or a villain is actually a great way to describe how your problems are systemic, the product of a series of systems that are meant to deny your personhood and actualization while insisting on your complicity.
