Americans will fly to Europe, walk places, enjoy the tranquil patio dining, and soak up the human-scaled charm of the urban streets. They will then fly back home and absolutely foam at the mouth over any proposal to make our streets safer, more equitable, and calmer by limiting cars for everything.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Dude, you’re missing the point. Chris implies Mamdani is opposing the Genocide for political reasons. He’s speaking out against Netanyahu because genocide is wrong and not because it helps him electorally.

Not everything is about politics Chris. Genocide isn’t political. It’s just plain wrong.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
This morning, Benjamin Netanyahu will address the United Nations — an institution which has concluded his government is committing a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. He arrived in New York after a flight that added hours to its path to circumvent the airspace of countries which might enforce the International Criminal Court's warrant for his arrest. During the course of his speech, another Palestinian child will undoubtedly be killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, as they have been every single hour for nearly two years. 

Eric Adams will greet Netanyahu as a friend. Andrew Cuomo proudly served on his legal defense team. Both have jockeyed for the approval of Donald Trump, who has sent billions of our taxpayer dollars to support these war crimes.

A Mayor cannot end these atrocities. But they can speak for the values of this city: a commitment to human rights for all people, including Palestinians, and a yearning for peace and justice. Even if those values are anathema to those in power now, they will endure.

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

Charlie Kirk geeatly contributed to division and rage in this country. We don't need to whitewash that or pretend he was somehow above those forces because something terrible happened to him.

Dude, we have been in a democratic crisis long before Kirk was assasinated. Do you think January 6th was normal? Or the murder of two Democrats in Minnesota in June was normal?

Why is it that Haberman and other journalists at the Times can't tell us when Trump is lying because "nobody knows what's in his mind" or whatever excuse they always give but they can tell us when they think he believes his own bullshit?

This. It is so dangerous, and so unavoidable because of the way we have built our communities, that we simply cannot allow ourselves to think about it. I always say, parents every day expose their kids to one of the leading causes of child death as a matter of routine.
