New York State generates ~$360 billion in fed tax revenue. NYC generates $12 billion more in tax revenue to Albany than it gets back in funding. NYC tax revenue is the engine for subsidies to Trump-voting upstate regions. We should probably start sitting on that bag. www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

The image is a drawing from the movie JAWS and features a minimalist, white outline of a stylized shark on a dark gray background. The shark is depicted with its mouth wide open, revealing jagged teeth, and has a large circular eye. Inside the shark’s mouth, there is a simplistic figure of a person. Across the shark and the person, bold red text overlays the image, reading “My Novel” and “Me.” The background is plain, allowing the white outline and text to stand out prominently.

Did you know AMERIKALAND is available as an ebook? Well, it is! 📱📖 #booksky #authorsky #writingcommunity @bookshop.org: bookshop.org/a/96980/9798... Apple Books: books.apple.com/us/book/amer... @barnesandnoble.com: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/amerikalan... Kindle: www.amazon.com/Amerikaland-...
The image features a book cover and an e-reader displaying the same cover design. The book, standing upright, is titled "AMERIKALAND" by Danny Goodman. The cover artwork is stylized, depicting an abstract city skyline in shades of blue with a prominent bridge spanning across the scene. Above the skyline, the sky is illustrated with orange and yellow flame-like shapes. The e-reader, to the right and slightly overlapping, also shows the identical cover design. Below the cityscape, the author's name is prominently displayed in white against a teal background.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The image depicts a dynamic scene from a WNBA game. Kelsey Plum is being held in the air by teammate Rickea Jackson. Plum is off the ground, with one leg bent, suggesting a playful struggle. In the background, there are people on the sidelines, some wearing blue clothing and others blurred out, showing expressions of interest or reaction to the gameplay. The text "me" is overlaid on Plum, while "my novel" is written on Jackson.
