At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials. In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.
Mayor Mamdani holds up bananas with a 30% off sticker on them. Shelves of produce and canned goods, all with 30% off stickers on them. New Yorkers clap at the press conference announcing the 30% discount for municipal grocery stores.

Israel has been bombing and occupying Lebanon for decades. They invaded in 1978 and 1982, occupied south Lebanon until 2000, then bombed Lebanon in 2006, 2023, and especially 2024. Then they signed a “ceasefire” with Hezbollah, which they violated at least 10,000 times. crimethinc.com/lebanon2026

The trump economy and operations - tariffs, Venezuela, and hyper extractivism - have always been to get the country on war footing. Tending towards autarky was Germany's strategy and Japan's weakness.

Yeah, this was the case in Gaza. Israel would claim their destruction of hospitals was by Islamic Jihad, until it got normalized then they just admitted to constantly bombing hospitals.

The trump video episode should be understood in lite of electoral processes. Some Republicans are worried about elections and denounce it. Others aren't worried about elections bc with Trump they intend to cheat the elections. Trump challenges Rs to get focus on minority control + ending elections.

You could just cut "Law Enforcement" from the bill because how could you hire someone for ANYTHING who used to do this? WA bill would ban ICE agents from law enforcement jobs in the state | The Seattle Times www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

WA bill would ban ICE agents from law enforcement jobs in the state
The bill would only apply to agents hired after Trump's second inauguration because of the way those agents have been trained, Rep. Tarra Simmons said.

Historic times. When was the last time that city council and political representatives called for and supported calls for a general strike. There are two (dual) powers emerging: brute force from the federal government and popular power backed by the municipality and select politicians.
