Stand with me in #solidarity instead of out of pity any day of the week and we can go from there.

This is one consequence of the left not being clear about reducing budgets for state repression. Every Democratic Party politician going on about “training” and “body cams” and every Jacobin author vaguely saying the left should not talk about repressive budgets leads to this:

Just this weekend we discovered: +Andrew Cuomo used Chat GPT to write his housing plan for NYC. +Wasted half a billion in NY taxpayer funds on unused COVID protections. This man wants to be Mayor. Don’t let him.
It was a big weekend for Andrew Cuomo's Mistakes Dept., with the former gov. dropping a plan for NYC's housing crisis marred with gobbledygook, to being the subject of a scathing audit finding NY spent $452M on pandemic gear that was never distributed. hellgatenyc.com/cuomo-mistak…

Andrew Cuomo could’ve spent the years since his resignation making amends and helping New Yorkers. Instead he hounded the women who spoke out about his serial harassment, fought to keep his book deal millions…and advised a foreign crypto exchange that broke US law.

Five years ago today, Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes to take in COVID-positive patients. Then he tried to cover up the death toll his decision unleashed. This is the story of just one family impacted by Cuomo’s fatal mismanagement.

As Governor, Andrew Cuomo had to be ordered to do basic, human things as a leader like offer vaccines to the people he caged in cramped & unsanitary conditions at complete odds with CDC guidelines. xitter.cf/LegalAidNYC/status/137…

The Superbowl protester, Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu, who waved the Sudan and Palestine flag during the halftime show spoke about how he felt he had to act. “If you see a wrongdoing, you must stop it with your hands, if you can't stop it with your hands, stop it with your tongue, if you can't stop it with your tongue, stop it with your heart, and we know that’s the weakest of faith. I had an opportunity on a grand scale to bring awareness and speak out against a wrong of my Muslim brothers and sisters because we know, if one part of the body is hurting, all of the body is hurting. This Ummah is one body. So I didn't want to face my creator with a sign of weak faith. When I knew I had an opportunity to show I didn't have weak faith.... A lot of people didn't know what's going on in Gaza, a lot of people didn't know what's going on in Sudan and they feel like they're not being represented properly so I had the opportunity to represent them on a global scale and I had to take that opportunity just even to get the prayers of the people, it was worth it, just even to get the prayers of the Palestinians and the Sudanese.”

Isn’t it safe to assume that most plane crashes in u.s. history have involved pilots who were white men?

Wow. I can't believe they let her say this on cable news. Listen in full and share broadly.
