Incredible reporting from @carolinehaskins.bsky.social about a school Mark Zuckerberg opened on his Palo Alto compound and operated for years with no permits, permissions, anything at all

Everything is a grift.

A thread of wins for schools, teachers and, most importantly, kids.

Hakeem Jeffries is so embarrassing. “We smoked these fools.” Shut up, guy

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Not going to sleep with a sense of dread about what we light wake up to is a lovely feeling. 💙

Proposition 50 has passed in California, allowing for a new congressional map to be drawn ahead of the midterm elections.

DOWN BALLOT ELECTIONS MATTER!!!

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Democracy delivered a one-two punch to fascism tonight, but we can’t let up the pressure for a second. Keep fighting the good fight.

[Exit Clown.]

Another often overlooked but important election. Loudoun County Public Schools has been ground zero for targeting by the Trump administration over trans students, and chose to protect their students. Pro-trans candidates Chandler and Svenson are winning, and anti-trans Munoz-Melendez is losing.

lol. lmao.

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

‼️‼️‼️

THIS.

OK, this is objectively really funny. DC Republican men who have decided en masse to abandon all principles and do whatever Trump tells them to are - shockingly! - not as masculine as they cosplay to be. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

@mehdirhasan.bsky.social out here doing the good work.

New Column: Chew on this. The nation's capital, one of the most Democratic cities in America, no longer has a liberal newspaper. The techbro takeover of the mainstream media is a crisis rich liberals must wake up and address. newrepublic.com/article/2025... via @newrepublic.com

Morning Millennium Magnificence. Autumn in full color at the Bean on this day seven years ago.

Garbage in. Garbage out.

How many people have figured out AI is not intelligent, it’s simply a megaphone for the wealthy to feed the information they want delivered, from the perspective they want to push? It’s the biggest hoax of our lifetime.

Technology always replicates the negative -isms of society. Without fail.

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

I tuned in to the @60minutes Trump interview with low expectations, and I haven’t bern surprised. Norah let Trump lie and lie with barely any pushback or provision of corrective facts. Where is the Aussie guy from @axios when we need him?

What a bunch of 🐂 💩

MAJOR WIN: A federal court permanently blocked a part of Trump’s anti-voting order requiring proof-of-citizenship for voter registration, ruling that the president exceeded his constitutional authority in directing congressional election regulation changes. https://bit.ly/4ojDyAL

Another unsurprisingly yet abhorrently racist move by this administration.

A stunner of a read and well worth your time.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

FWIW, this was in California. In the Bay Area. You know, where book bans "don't happen" because it's a "good" "blue" state. If you were celebrating Banned Books Week earlier this month, time to get on the phone and spread the word.

i do think vance is mostly just regurgitating the half remembered ideas of dead slaveholder extremists but also this gives off the unmistakable scent of “i’ll say whatever you hogs want me to say,” which is fitting coming from america’s premier hogman

Please read. This is abhorrent.

Find out how to say it tonight on @thedailyshow.com!

The DOE's "partners":

Much fascinating, telling language in this piece for K-12 educators to be alert to as Trump's DOE pursues its "civics" initiative developed by deep-pocketed, far-right groups: America 250 Civics Coalition.

In retrospect, we should have known something was up when both Prince and David Bowie returned to their home planets in early 2016.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Teacher & librarian friends! I'll be doing free school visits in selected cities when I hit the road for my CAMP MONSTER graphic novel tour the first two weeks of February- and if you're in CA, TX, NC, SC, GA, or FL I might be able to visit YOU!

MAGA will not be satisfied until the wall between church and state is completely dismantled--and they are making good progress in our schools.

The Americans who will be hurt the most if Republicans let ACA tax credits expire? Those in red states. Democrats are fighting harder for Republicans' own constituents than their elected representatives are.

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

alt hed: President confirms he is full of shit.

To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight. @blockclubchi.bsky.social
