We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

Having worked in higher education, I've found students are often ahead of the curve when it comes to advocating social & political issues, long before the rest of us catch up. They deserve more credit than they're given.Shooting down on them for being socially aware helps no one.

They went from “he’s a fucking communist” to “why isn’t he doing more communism”
Posts like this show how biased the press has got. They’re trying to make it out that Mamdani has accrued 5 billion dollars of debt.
What they don’t say is that he inherited over 12 billion dollars of debt, and in just 2 months he’s already cut it down to well under half!

So the Conservative government. They were responsible for devising the regulations and setting the date of their introduction. They had four years to scrap their own rules. They chose not to.

After all the bullshit this movie has gone through y'all better make sure you make this movie a box office success because it's going to look really dumb with all y'all out here championing for this movie like you have been and meanwhile it fails.
Because The Day the Earth blew up still has a ways to go before it becomes successful.
The whole world is just going to become even more expensive with all these pointless trade wars.
The real losers are consumers paying higher prices for everything.
Time to cut all ties with the IDF. Terrible. There must be repercussions.

In recent months we’ve seen a terrifying spike in hate towards Jewish and Muslim communities.
Racism is racism. There should be no hierarchy.
Now, more than ever, we should be seeking to bring our country together. There must be zero tolerance for the politics of division.
Anti-British, Suella Braverman-supporting fascists. Turns out they’re the abhorrent violent ones who disrespect Armistice day, not the Palestinian peace marchers.
