JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

For the first time, NYC is making an investment with public shares embedded. This is exactly what we mean when we say economic justice and economic growth go hand in hand.
Too lazy to post my own thread so please read this. I think I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning, but I’m old and memory fails.
I just posted a whole thread about why you should subscribe to @hellgatenyc.com immediately, but here's the TL;DR: We're fun, brave, independent. We've been covering the BK Dems, NYC courts & judges like crazy. We'll keep covering NYC like this JUST FOR YOU. This week is our most generous sale ever:
One of the first albums I bought with my own money (when it first came out!!!) and I don't think I've stopped hearing it in my head since then.
Stevie Wonder’s ‘Songs In The Key Of Life’ came out 50 years ago today. An anniversary tour celebrating the double album masterpiece begins next month, and today Wonder shared four previously unreleased tracks from the sessions. stereogum.com/2512942/stev...

Never been to the opera before? Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

I feel better about NYC right now than I have in the past 60 or so years I've lived here. This piece by @masnick.com gets to the heart of it along with acknowledging a lot of the bad going on everywhere. (quotes a lot of the piece from @radleybalko.bsky.social that I shared yesterday from the NYT)

Here's a gift link to my 9/11 essay in the NYT. Civil libertarians long warned that before giving government new powers, we should consider how an administration with authoritarian ambition might abuse them. We were told that America was too exceptional to elect such a person. Well here we are.

The idea that classrooms are chiefly spaces for product testing, and that it is irresponsible pedagogy not to enforce this, is both cynical and vile, and “fuck off” is a cogent response from any professional educator to any non-teaching salescreep or tech-but-not-subject-matter expert who voices it.

It is *quite* telling that Armstrong thinks it's bad that the Ford Foundation is known for doing all sorts of good things in the world, which would probably make the bigoted, antisemitic, eugenicist Henry Ford upset.

I would like ask JD Vance about Pierre Damas Bel.
“A Haitian immigrant who had grown increasingly distraught after losing his protection from deportation and being outfitted with an ankle monitor was run over and killed Monday in what his family believes was a suicide.” www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.
