The UFW wishes our Jewish friends a sweet #RoshHashanah. The first institutional religious support for grape strikers came when boards of rabbis in big Eastern cities declared boycotted products non-Kosher. More @ ufw.org/roshhashanah

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

Excellent outcome for the case! It’s notable that this began before Trump took office, although it got worse after. When the government alleges someone is connected to terrorists, it can be extremely hard to get them to back down.

Let’s talk about the vast numbers potential voters would be more activated by genuine principled commitment to public goods and human rights as opposed to reactionary centrist pandering to bigotry!

D's grotesque embrace of censorship at schools re Palestine gave Trump a lot of leeway, both to target speech and to gut education.

With Carl Heastie behind him, Zohran Mamdani has the nominal support of the governor and the two state legislative leaders. We'll most likely soon find out whether those endorsements mean anything in the brutal Albany cold of budget season.

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House. He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo. He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up. And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.” Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

The link doesn’t say this, but rn, my friend’s friend is desperately trying to raise $1000 of this goal in order to get their 17yo son a medical evacuation. He has stage 3 cancer and needs treatment that’s obvi not available in Gaza. Please donate and/or share. Thank you! chuffed.org/project/1440...

If you support Palestinian rights we are extremely close to our goal!! less than 5k to go. please pitch in, my family in Gaza is large and we all need to eat, get medicine and survive the genocide & starvation . Help us evacuate to safety we beg you donate 50 its mean a life to us 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This guy just walked around the Charlie Kirk vigil in Boston, yelling Kirk quotes through a bullhorn

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.

and it's funny seeing so many all-white panels discussing this jimmy Kimmel/free speech thing!!! like people have not learned

The FAQ posted online for this program claims that this would be an EB-1/EB-2 visa. That is EXTREMELY illegal. Those visas are, by law, ONLY for people with “extraordinary” or “exceptional” ability, or advanced degrees (MAs or PhDs) who are being hired by an American business.

Fascists are like a dust storm of enshittification — they make everything worse.

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

this is the leadership we need, this is what the democratic party should be mobilizing everywhere in overwhelming masses of numbers instead of running scared

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

It took 15 years for the US to set aside a day to remember the Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. The Senate vote was 78-22 & not even all Dems voted for it. @schumer.senate.gov led the Democrats to vote unanimously to honor a bigot who said “MLK was awful. Not a good person.” Miserable cowards

congrats to the Harper’s Letter people on this victory for free speech

15 local and state lawmakers were arrested at 26 Federal Plaza at an immigration protest. 11 were arrested when they tried to inspect the migrant detention floor to ensure ICE was complying with a court order and 4 were arrested when they blocked the driveway used by ICE vans.

i think the capacity debate around authoritarianism really underscores how defund the police was fundamentally correct. the biggest lurking danger in america right now is the mass federalization of local LEO like they’re trying to do in florida

NYS Assembly member Tony Simone with a message for ICE officers at 26 Federal Plaza.

Happening NOW: NYPD is arresting peaceful protestors including PSC leadership who are demanding ICE release all immigrants detained at 26 Federal Plaza. Inside the building, ICE is detaining elected officials for doing the same #NYvsICE #ICEoutofNY

NYC, if this makes you angry, come to the New Yorkers Against ICE rally on 9/25 at Foley Square!

HAPPENING NOW: We’re at 26 Fed Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the 10th fl - where people are being inhumanely detained - and to block ICE vans from leaving. We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY

sharing an update from my friend Mohammed in Gaza. On top of everything that's happening, his phone was damaged. as a belated birthday gift, I'm trying to raise money to help him replace it gofund.me/d6c648f5

Shout out to @mcsweeneys.net for letting me treat a certain kind of article with the level of respect it deserves. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

This is *after* it already came out that the pretextual “cause” for Lisa Cook’s firing is a lie (she claimed the condo as a vacation home — no fraud)

There should be a law that if you make your living as an opinion-haver on the liberal side, you should be forced to live in a Red State. Your kids go to schools with no books and the 10 Commandments on the wall. You now gotta plan how to ratline your wife/self to a free state for reproductive care.

again, it is an especially great time to support & buy books from the wonderful team at @loyaltybooks.bsky.social: loyaltybookstores.com

"In June, the federal court ruled that the government’s original justification for Mr. Khalil’s detention based only on Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s say-so was likely unconstitutional and blocked his detention and deportation on that basis." Now, the fash is just going w/ lies and retaliation

Such a crucial point. Thinking of how the ACLU defended white supremacists’ right to assemble in Skokie decades ago, but the Democratic establishment eagerly supported the violent repression of anti-genocide activists. The right is vile, but centrist “liberals” swung the door open for them

Every day without support means new hunger or new fear for my family.💔 Your donation today is not just help — it is saving the life of an entire family. Share or donate now...You can make a real difference in our day.🙏

Such a crucial and well-explained thread on the horribly mangled “marketplace of ideas” as it exists in popular consciousness (and law)

Quite a chilling thread Public health is in extreme precarity, so please do your part to limit others’ risks (mask up, get vaccinated, stay home when sick, encourage air filtration, etc etc etc)

BREAKING: A court ruled that ICE can no longer detain immigrants in abusive conditions at 26 Federal Plaza while our case continues. This ruling requires ICE to provide people detained at the facility access to hygiene products, sleeping mats, and free, confidential calls to their lawyers.

Sleeping Dragon deployed at Brooklyn Navy Yard as anti-genocide activists picket & rally against the Yard giving space to Easy Aerial and Crye Precision, two manufacturers that produce materials for the IDF. Today is BKNY’s board meeting.

Easily my favorite among the movies my dad would watch every time it came on (back before programmable VCRs & streaming, obvi). So charming. So committed to leaving the planet better off for his presence in it

Universal childcare is on the ballot this November — but you don't need to wait to take action. Sign the @ny4childcare.bsky.social petition below calling for full-day care for NYC two-year-olds.

If you’re Jewish, this isn’t surprising. If you’re not Jewish *and* find it surprising, try listening to Jews.

they’re matching up to $600 US ? come on! give $5/£5 with me — that’s effectively $10 from each of us! incredible! it is so scary in gaza city; please help our friend akram and his family escape with their lives tinyurl.com/hopegivingcircle

The next wannabe governor from Florida was spared prison, had his record sealed, and got not one, but three chances at redemption. Now he’s pushing a D.C. crime bill that would deny those same chances to young adults in the District. That screams “opportunities for me, but not for thee.”
