One of the worst moments in my life was when my family saw Her and hated it, because they were so wrong but there was nothing I could do.

Huge news for guys who screened Spaceballs at every single one of their elementary school birthday parties

@souljagoyteller Red Rooms! Deeply unsettling, and it’s all about our fucked up relationship with online horrors. I think you’d really like it.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

lowkey what it feels like leaving 30th street station on the NE regional and seeing the Philly skyline

Passover has long been my favorite Jewish holiday. But I’ve always struggled with the Tenth Plague — and now more than ever. So for this year’s Haggadah, we added a midrash from Exodus Rabbah about Israelite parents who welcomed firstborn Egyptian kids into their homes on that fateful night.
Chag Pesach Sameach.

@DavidAstinWalsh Truly such a shitty experience renting in Princeton as a postdoc. No subsidized housing at all available. I lasted one year paying an insane amount for a totally unremarkable apartment before moving to Philly and paying less living in center city and taking Amtrak up

I *loathe* Princeton, New Jersey. The town is basically like if a country club incorporated itself. Off-campus housing for graduate students is abysmal and *incredibly* expensive.

In Princeton NJ, where the median home costs $1 million, residents are fighting a plan for 238 apartments on the grounds of a former seminary. Leading the resistance: historian Sean Wilentz. "We are being accused of being racist," he said. @timcraigpost: wapo.st/4rBmPtC

For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

Even in the setting of a just war — which this war is absolutely not — I would find such puerile, callous zeal for killing stomach-turning. We are led by truly sick people with no decency and little regard for human life.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.
"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

First they came for the Somalis, and I mistakenly believed I was very different and they would never come for me
Joel M. Petlin@Joelmpetlin
I mistakenly believed that @nickshirleyy and @tyleraloevera were very different, because Nick was exposing alleged fraud, and Tyler was just harassing American Jews with large families, legally eligible for benefits. If you can't tell the difference between fraud and harassment, then you've just "exposed" yourself to be an Antisemite. I was wrong. Shame on both of you.

Jews were not, in fact, citizens. They had their citizenship stripped in Germany and they were under foreign occupation everywhere else. Batya, whose dad worked at Harvard and who has a PhD in English lit from Berkeley, obviously knows this, but she thinks her audience is stupid.
Batya Ungar-Sargon@bungarsargon
Beyond disgusting. Gov. Walz is comparing the innocent Jews that the Gestapo were hunting for extermination—who were citizens—to the illegal migrant murderers, rapists, sex offenders, and child abusers that ICE is seeking to deport because they broke our laws again and again.

The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House.
The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm.
Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.
Senator Chris Van Hollen@ChrisVanHollen
Another brutal killing by Trump’s ICE agents. Trump, Vance, Noem, Miller, & the whole morally depraved crew have blood on their hands. These killings are happening at their direction. They must be held accountable. Congress must cut-off funding for these heinous acts NOW!

A half dozen ICE and/or CBP thugs brutally beat this man and then shoot him while he’s on the ground. This is murder.

Appears to be a video of ICE killing a man on the street.

Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.
Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.
We can and must stop this.

@goodness_me_ Mamdani is so good at communicating about universalism. Here he is explaining the way administrative burdens kill participation even among the eligible x.com/MorePerfectUS/…
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
Zohran Mamdani explains that thousands and thousands of New Yorkers are already eligible for free and reduce public transportation, but because of the bureaucratic hurdles they never get enrolled in the program. That's why he wants to just make the bus free.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.”

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.
The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.
