ICE is STILL stuck inside the parking garage in lower Manhattan, and they seem pretty grumpy about it.

This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.

Zero reckoning from any of the elites who credulously parroted the absurd idea that the right wing was in favor of free speech.

This is a very wholesome and cheering thread. ❤️

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

“Peace through strength” is some serious Orwellian shit.

Remembering when people told me in late 2024 that "Trump couldn't create his own police force because federalism" mmhmm

Noooooooooooo 😭

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.

You may have seen that 600+ detainees are eligible for release, which is amazing! BUT: you may not know that immigration detainees still have to pay for their freedom-- $1500 bond per person! The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund is raising money to help people get free, please donate: www.mibfc.org

Nationally, every single one of Zohran Mamdani's policies has higher "strong support" than "strong opposition." But tell me again how pro-worker policies only work in NYC.

The Dems in the Senate appear to have just folded a Royal Flush. While Trump just pardoned Rudy and a casino’s worth of others involved in election perversion.

The New York Times is the paper of record and has played a key role in enabling the Gaza genocide. To hold the newspaper accountable, we must sever our ties —not only as subscribers or advertisers, but also as writers who lend the paper legitimacy. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/why-...

I had several great uncles that fought against fascism in Europe in WWII. This is appalling.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

My personal vote is for Abdul El-Sayed, but absolutely agreed it canNOT be Stevens.

This right here.

my entire adult life, democrats have needed to be dragged kicking and screaming towards even the consideration that they should do right by the people who voted for them. i’m tired.

Was in a community meet up today between South Asians and elected officials. Based on some comments made, I feel the need to say the following just so we’re on the same page: South Asian community and Arab community are not the same thing. Cool? Cool.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 years when an orange kitten wandered over to sit with me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive."

Hmmm…I don’t see the criminal punishment system in this list. Welp. Time to get to work.

"should women work" but it really means "should men have to ever answer to or even encounter women who are not their wives, offspring, and/or other servile figures"

Imagine how much more about Donald Trump's crimes we would know, and how our politics would have unfolded differently, if everyone of significance had been either interviewed by the FBI or put before a federal grand jury in the spring of 2021, while memories were still fresh.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

“We have bowed at the altar of caution and we have paid a mighty price” !!!!!! Say it louder so mr Schumer can hear!!!!

“New York will remain a city of immigrants. Built by immigrants. Powered by immigrants. And as of tonight, led by an immigrant.” YES

HOPE IS A DECISION

"in this moment of political darkness, new york will be the light "whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community one of the many black women that donald trump who has fired from her job... your struggle is ours too"

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

What we know, 10:20pm —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, *and* AG —BIG Dem gains in VA House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —Dems keep PA supreme court —Larry Krasner & Bragg win — GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices —JD Vance’s half-brother loses Cincy —Dems sweep Orlando council —ME anti-mail vote measure loses

I’m not crying! You’re crying!

“There is some good in the world. And it’s worth fighting for.”

Um. Excuse me. Where is Kornaki??

“Oh nos! The brown/muslim dude is giving people a reason to vote for him and we def can’t have that be happening.” And democrats wonder why their favorability numbers are in the tank.

I can't stop thinking about how this program helped me survive into adulthood and the millions who will not have that access.

New Yorkers if this doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will.

They are destroying what SHE built. #TeenVogue

Well this is one of the most ridiculous decisions I’ve seen a media outlet make. Teen Vogue’s political coverage was some of the best I’ve seen and the only one (i think?) to really take teens seriously.

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division." Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

There's also a weird conventional wisdom forming that the Democratic agenda is toxically unpopular and that Republicans are delivering what voters want. This is laughably false. Trump is the most unpopular president in modern history and his entire agenda is underwater.

I am honestly so disturbed by the Baileys thing. There are plenty of real people to consult, many who agree with him!! Why make up this shit?

“It took a man this singularly disgusting and morally poisonous to permanently decouple public relations murder from an automatic probationary period of Beltway consensus.”

Staggering atrocities in Sudan. Following the mass slaughter of nearly 500 men, women, and children at a maternity hospital, UN officials say: "The situation is simply horrifying... El Fasher, already the scene of catastrophic levels of human suffering, has descended into an even darker hell."

On MSNBC Cuomo said "diversity can be a weakness." When asked by one of the two Black hosts (Eugene) to clarify, he doubled down on his statement and called Eugene "Jonathan." So Cuomo is anti-diversity & can't tell Black people apart.🤔 Honestly the best anti-Cuomo ads are just letting Cuomo speak

The most “them eat cake” moment so far?

Happy national novel writing month to those who actually write their books and not try to employ robots to steal them on their behalf! 😉
