I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Ugh. Both of our senators in New York are fucking awful
Julia Métraux@juliametraux.bsky.social · 4d agoI was today years old when I learned that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand attends a bible study group that teaches that Jewish people killed Jesus, which has been used to justify antisemitism and associated violence against us Jews.
We talk about people being soulless so often it has lost its punch, but holy shit I don’t know that I can think of someone more truly soulless than Sam Altman. A true void of humanity.
Jared Yates Sexton@jysexton.bsky.social · 4d agoOne of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning.

He's speaking to normies right now. Not some fringe left group. We got yoga pants Brentwood types putting themselves in from of ICE vans now.
