Philly can't be a city of no. We cannot be a world class city, fund our schools, and rebuild our communities by obstructing change and fighting investment. We can't yearn to always be America's poorest big city as a sort of cultural statement. We need to innovate and grow.

I guess when you excuse nazi tattoos it's pretty ease to excuse other forms of pretty blatant antisemitism...
A 19-year-old college student quietly turns down a job interview, stupidly telling the company it's because he doesn't want to work for a Jew. Within two days: -- The billionaire founder of one of the world's most powerful corporations (Palantir) demands that the company release his the student's to the world. The company instantly complies. -- National media trumpet the incident and spread the student's name and face all over the place. -- A senior Trump DOJ official repeatedly urges the public to notify him if that student is ever hired anywhere in the future, promising to use his office to keep the student permanently unemployable. Adults with large, influential platforms -- pundits, media types, even elected officials -- right here on X routinely say things as bad as, and often much worse than, pretty much every other group you can think of without facing a single consequence let alone a completely unhinged coordinated campaign of very powerful people to run their lives forever:

God has the chance to do the absolute funniest thing tonight…
This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline. Rain or shine, we’re celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.

Lawyers really need to start facing significantly more serious consequences for using AI this egregiously. "We oopsed" is not a defense to malpractice and dishonesty to the courts.
Replying to @sfmcguire79
The students’ lawyer acknowledged the mistake: ā€œUpon further review, Petitioners have determined that the citations to Matter of Ortiz v. Coughlin, 86 A.D.2d 660 (2d Dep't 1982), and Matter of McCormack v. LaHood, 85 A.D.3d 1070 (2d Dep't 2011), were incorrect. Petitioners withdraw those citations in their entirety and do not rely upon them. ā€œPetitioners sincerely regret these errors.ā€

"You can't make us change the name! If we do, we're going to have to kick a puppy. We know that because we changed our bylaws to say that we have to kick a puppy if you make us change our name!"
WOW: Since the court order, the Board of the Kennedy Center has seemingly amended its bylaws to take itself hostage, declaring that if anyone takes down the Trump name, they’ll have to give back all donations and go bankrupt. That seems a TEXTBOOK violation of fiduciary duty.

Council President Kenyatta Johnson told me that he is interested in opting all of the South Broad Street subway stops into the super charged transit-oriented development overlay that City Council approved today: inquirer.com/real-estate/com…

340 jobs is a lot of jobs. But the school district is canceling school at 52 buildings across the city today because they don’t have working air conditioning while it’s 90° and 85% humidity.
Mayor Parker said the city is promising to find money to help the Philadelphia School District avoid reassigning hundreds of teachers and climate managers.

He out corrupted fifa, the international corruption experts.
ā€œFor the past year, FIFA has leased an office on the 17th floor of New York’s Trump Tower that has sat all but empty. The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle.ā€ nytimes.com/2026/06/09/world…

Happy Pride Nancy!
Sarah McBride: ā€œCongress’ top bathroom sheriff, Nancy Mace, was on the ballot. And while all of the votes have not yet been counted, she’s in a respectful 5th place. I don’t like to punch down and I believe in the politics of grace, so I’ll just say, Happy Pride, Nancy.ā€

When will this primary ever end????
"Mallory McMorrow, a state senator, is also set to benefit from the first spending for her from an outside group. On Tuesday, a nonprofit group that appears to be aligned with her, Yes MI Action Committee, reserved $4.9 million in advertising time, according to AdImpact data." nytimes.com/2026/06/09/us/po…

Replying to @StephenJ_Caruso
News: A bill to place a 5% gross receipts tax on companies that sell digital ads in Pennsylvania to fund property tax relief has passed the state House by a bipartisan 139-63 margin in the lead up to the state's June 30 budget deadline.

In other words: "I had the votes, I know because I counted them myself before the election. Because of that, there wasn't really a reason to have a REAL vote. It's okay, that's democracy!"

Philadelphia is lucky to have strong local political reporters like Sean and Anna to cover all the nonsense at City Hall and anywhere else politics occurs. I've always known they were good at their jobs, but working here has just reinforced that truth. inquirer.com/politics/philad…

Looking forward to Bass’s primary, even if it’s the communist guy who wants to challenge her again. She’s got to go. Councilmember Cindy Bass declared herself the winner of a Philly Democratic ward election — and may have violated party rules inquirer.com/politics/philad…

Antisemitism is hatred against Jewish people. Not vague bias against ā€œSemite peopleā€.
ā€œI do know very well what is antisemitism. It's broader than hate against Jews. It's hate and discriminations against Semite people, including Arab people. Antisemitism is very real against Jewish people and against Arab people.ā€ — Francesca Albanese, repeating debunked myth

This is actually repulsive when you consider the whole reason how/why she’s even a senator in the first place 🤮
Graham Platner is gonna win because he has connected with Mainers on what they really care about: How this country can work for them, not just the wealthy. He’ll win because he’s not part of the Washington establishment. If I voted in Maine he’d have my support, no question.
