@ScottMendelson he's never been this guy. benny & joon, donnie brasco, even sleepy hollow and chocolat weren't "blockbusters." he's a quirky character actor. hollywood keeps trying to recreate jack sparrow, except 1. verbinski knew how to use him and 2. the market for that doesn't exist anymore.

While Ritchie Torres pockets money from AIPAC, 37% of children in NY-15 live in poverty. I’m Andre Easton, a teacher running to represent NY-15 to fight for the Bronx — not billionaires who fund genocide in Palestine.

Health insurance is not healthcare. It’s an unnecessary middleman designed to restrict access to healthcare and transfer wealth upwards by exploiting people for profit. Medicare for All: $0 premiums $0 deductibles $0 copays …and would cut spending by $650 billion per year

i've dreamed of times like these
Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start. Building on @BKBPReynoso's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

Blocked and can’t reply, of course. Feel it’s necessary to point out that protesting is protected under the Constitution, while death threats are not.
@liz_dente Whatever, I just pulled one of dozens from last year. How do you know the random person you're stanning for wasn't making threats? Because he told you he wasn't!

This guy has no concept of mutual aid or community organizing so obviously this must all be “paid for” by one shadowy entity. It’s kind of sad really.
🚨 WATCH: I took advantage of leftist militants being distracted by yelling at each other to walk through their newly-rebuilt camp outside ICE Portland THOUSANDS of dollars worth of supplies, food, and equipment—INCLUDING gas masks—are nicely organized in bins The city

I decided to look into who is behind DHS’s social media dog whistles. Responsibility for developing, approving, and vetting the agency’s social media content belongs entirely to Tricia McLaughlin, DeWine’s former political comms director and senior advisor to Ramaswamy.

Well at least they’re admitting that they only care about us as units of economic output.
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."

Given his leadership role in Project Hope, and after watching The Alabama Solution, I’m convinced this was done purposefully to send a message to everyone involved with fighting to abolish the death penalty.
Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account:

i guess the common thread here is that rich donors are pouring tens of millions of dollars into this WH for projects with absolutely NO oversight. And the president, who rewards his benefactors, is saying: hey, it's philanthropy. don't ask questions.

There is a bunker under the East Wing of the White House. By sheer coincidence, Adolf Hitler added onto the Reich Kanzlei by building a ballroom above the vorbunker in 1936 (the area to the right).

“A masterplan Jared’s been working on for 2 years” Kushner’s face when he yesterday revealed they planned rebuilding Gaza BEFORE it was destroyed by the IDF. This isn't a peace deal it's the seizure of Palestine. US special envoy Steve Witkoff & Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner.

BANNON: “Trump will be president in 2028 and get a third term. People oughta get accommodated with that.” “What about the constitution?” BANNON: “He’s a vehicle of divine providence.” (PSA: Believe them. He is not joking.)
