On Sight!

@Samtanic_Panic Tbf they probably already hated him anyway

My husband was telling some Gen Z coworkers he lost his virginity at 14 to a 19 year old woman and they said, “that’s rape” And he jokingly replied, “how did you know I raped her?” and they just gave him awkward silence

Fri 12/9 and Sat 12/10, the NY Young Republican Club is hosting the national and international Far Right in Manhattan — at their annual gala, and another event in midtown. They have tried to keep the gala location secret, and are working with the NYPD to suppress any protest.

Today at Hagerstown Speedway, a speaker who’s a member of a biker group says during the morning meeting that “we’re gunna take [BLM Plaza] back,” says “all that paint’s getting off that street.” His plan is met with cheers. “Then we’re gunna tar & feather our delegates.”

Hi my name is Charlie and #LongCovid has destroyed my life. Today is two years.  Before my 'mild infection' I was a healthy fit 30 year old biking 10 miles a day. Now I can't work or leave the house. I still can't breathe right. It‘s a nightmare. Here are my 4 questions:

I know "discovery" is legal jargon so let's be clear. @KathyHochul is trying to repeal Kalief's Law, the one passed in Kalief Browder's name. The law that makes prosecutors give people evidence to defend themselves so they don't sit at Rikers for three years.

Dennis of @CopwatchMedia wrote a piece for the NY Daily News on Eric Adams’ recent comments demonizing people who record cops. Dennis explains why Adams’ comments are disingenuous & dangerous & why copwatchers must continue filming the police. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…

@mxtaliajane Oren made the cut

1/6 Comrades from the Tompkins Homeless Collective are outside right now patrolling the downtown area where their community members were hunted down by a killer a few nights ago.

The People's Convoy applied for a permit to hold a nearly 2 week long trucker protest on the National Mall, but it was partially denied. There were other events already booked & the app didn't include enough info for NPS to evaluate it. w/ @karina_elwood washingtonpost.com/transportation…

You might think the answer is paying people more, but it's actually your grandma un-retiring

4/4 There's a killer at large tonight but he's not the only one, he's just the most obvious. No one's hands are bloodier than the state's. Real justice would be if the streets get the killer. Realer justice would be if then the streets rise up and kill the system too.

The Adams admin raised $4.4 million for Bronx fire victims. Two months later, they've handed out just $2,250 in direct payments per household. A mayoral spokesperson says the remaining funds will be allocated to "long term" needs gothamist.com/news/bronx-fir…

Shell's profits were $20 bill last year. Exxon's profit's were $23 billion last year. BP's profit's were $13 billion last year. They can afford to charge you less, they're just choosing not to.

Canceling a meeting with legislators because it can’t get live-streamed because the goal isn’t legislation. The goal is attention.

NYPD says that a cop in the Bronx "approached" a 16-year-old who allegedly had a gun. The two began to tussle & the teen's gun allegedly went off. The bullet grazed the cop's left shin & hit the teen in the foot. nypost.com/2022/01/18/nyp…
