Heading into the weekend with that blue wave election energy — am I right #AOC

Faith in humankind restored 🙌

When a Murrigellas' fridge indicates there may be a teacher or two around...

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling? Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

ICE and CBP are uniting Chicago in a way I've never experienced in my 10 years living here

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance. It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention or stigma. We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

📌The President of the United States is doing everything he can to help starve Americans instead of doing everything he can to help feed them. Read that again.

Attention cunt:

Born enslaved in North Carolina, Anna Julia Cooper earned a master’s degree in mathematics from Oberlin in 1887 & a PhD from the Sorbonne. She observed, “The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class - it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.”

The shutdown of U.S.A.I.D in November has already killed six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children. The toll will continue to grow www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Judge Permanently Blocks National Guard Deployments to Portland for ICE Protests www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u... With her temporary block expiring, Judge Karin Immergut said the Trump administration had failed to prove that protesters were hampering President Trump’s policies.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

Please be aware and share👇🏼 The big bad bill waits until after the midterms for the pain to kick in. Of course that’s intentional. So when grindr boy says sign and snap resumes? Not for long. They liars, they hate us and they have no intention of helping us. Only hurting. Magas don’t do shit!

A reminder that every candidate who President Obama endorsed won their elections on Tuesday whilst the orange felon’s atrocious candidates all lost. 💙👊

Everyone wants to know why the hell Jackson would uphold the DOJ’s request to withhold SNAP benefits, here’s one possible reason:

I haven't been on BlueSky for quite a while. Here I briefly am to post how thrilled I am at the Blue wave route of elections earlier in the week. And I am very excited at Zohran Mamdani winning the mayoralty of NYC. #Mamdani #Bluewave #Hoperenewed

“He even brought—what are these feelings?—hope and optimism to New York City and to those around the country paying attention to his race. Both are in short supply.” @shalisemyoung.bsky.social on Zohran Mamdani.

Zohran Mamdani is going to implement Maria Law in NYC because the hills are alive with the sound of music.

The world has focused on Zohran Mamdani, for VERY good reason. 🙌🏼 But don’t forget- he’s not the only one.👊🏼 Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago is on 🔥…. Much like Mamdani, he is focused on the right thing- affordability. And fighting ICE. We love him 💙 & @jbpritzker.bsky.social & @katmabu.bsky.social

If you are planning to move from NYC because Zohran Mamdani is mayor now. Please don't move to South Dakota. If you are moving it's because you're selfish or racist or both, and we have plenty of those people here. Don't make it worse.

Well over half of the 2 million+ New Yorkers who voted in the mayoral race were younger than 55, with a significant share of them being Millennials and Gen Zers — a reversal of typical age-based turnout patterns fueled by enthusiasm around Zohran Mamdani. www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/07/m...

A few months ago, @six6jiang.bsky.social sent me some Zohran Mamdani primary campaign canvassing items. I had them framed, and they came back just in time. Excited to see how @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social transforms my hometown for the better!

It's not surprising to hear that GOP members are learning the Epstein shit is even worse than folks thought, and that their boy is even more compromised than thought. Epstein and Trump are the great evils of our time. If Virginia Giuffre's book is any indication, Epstein was fully invested in 🧵

Facts,

“U.S. District Judge John McConnell ordered the administration on Thursday afternoon to deliver full payments to states by Friday, chastising it for delays that he said have likely caused SNAP recipients to go hungry.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol... - @nbcnews.com #FoodAid #FoodSecurity #SNAP

They can't hide from the Epstein files forever. I have some new information about them that I'll reveal on this Sunday's Breakdown over on @meidastouch.com at 3:30 PM PT.

It’s day 38 of the Republican Shutdown — the longest in American history. Trump and Republicans are still refusing to negotiate a plan to save health care for millions of American families. Democrats won’t stop fighting to lower your costs and protect your care.

It's been seven days since the Torrance County's contract with ICE to house detainees at the Estancia jail expired. An advocacy group says all the detainees should be released. One of them emailed Source on Friday saying he was denied access to attorney. More here: buff.ly/glwAxYb

... and Democratic Socialism suggests that our capitalism can be put to good use for the people, and not just for the top 1%.

When we say tax the top 1%, this is what we’re talking about.

I love this. 🫡

Makes more sense now

Or start paying $25 an hour. Can you imagine what Walmart could do to the economy just by doing that one thing? It’s been proven prices would barely go up, and all that spending money would be multiplied multiple times within communities. Never going to happen because, well, it’s Walmart.

Dear Walmart, Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST… — America

Better to cancel flights than risk midair collisions or worse

This should get a Pulitzer. It's going to be an all-time classic.

I live in a very small town and I know what keeps small town grocery stores open: SNAP.

The regime keeps saying that ice is after the worst of the worst This is proof it’s all just lies Ice is cover for the worst of America to abuse and terrorize Hispanics and Latinos. When will it be legal to eliminate ice just as our families went to war to eliminate Nazis?

The Left: No one should have to decide between food and healthcare. The Right: Everyone should have to decide between food and healthcare. The Center: Some people should have to decide between food and healthcare, but they should not be people we know.

I was today years old when I learned that Zohran Mamdani's mom is Mira Nair who has directed many great movies including her fabulous debut "Mississippi Masala" with a young Denzel Washington. The movie led to Zohran'd birth in fact! (Gift article). www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

The Washington Post editorial board can collectively go fuck themselves.

Love that the sandwich guy was found not guilty. If he doesn’t start a Sandwiches Against Fascism PAC, what a missed opportunity.
