never forget

SC Justice Jackson just stayed the order requiring regime to start funding SNAP - to await ruling by 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston on a longer stay. Her stay remains in effect until at least 48 hours after the appeal court rules. www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?... #SNAP

Universal policies that make a material difference in people’s lives are popular!

Nobody wants to work anymore

Playlists that have a powerful effect on 33 year olds.

New guidance from USDA says they will administer full SNAP benefits. However, less than 45 minutes ago, the Attorney General tweeted about asking for a stay on the order forcing full benefits. Seems weird to send this guidance if they’re hoping for a stay by 4pm.

Sometimes I remember @npr.org stopped posting on X in April 2023.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

There are no words for how evil this is

BREAKING: A man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C., is found not guilty of assault.

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

No, but it gets SO MUCH FUNNIER THOUGH!! Josh Kraft (the son of the New England Patriots' owner) spent a RECORD amount of money on his primary campaign against Mayor Wu, just to get absolutely BODIED by 49 percentage points in the primary, lmfao. I love this goddamn state. 🫡

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu unveiled a sweeping set of citywide goals to a packed audience at the Josiah Quincy Upper School in Chinatown at Boston’s first-ever State of the Schools address Oct. 28. 📰: Laila Guzman Griffin huntnewsnu.com/89444/city/n...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

Universal policies that make a material difference in people’s lives are popular!

LIVE 🔴 We're seeing reports of possible nationwide flight disruptions due to the ongoing gov shutdown. FAA will implement a 10% reduction in air traffic across 40 high-volume US markets starting Friday, 07 November. FAA to meet with airlines today to determine how to implement the reduction.

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it

These shits used to be twice as big

I love my city.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Thank you, Boston 💜 Thank you to every voter and volunteer, every candidate and campaign for strengthening our democracy. We are the city of champions, beacon for freedom & home for everyone. At a time of challenge and consequence, Boston is going to keep moving forward.

howd that turn out

A big part of the Millennial experience has been seeing our peers locked out of political power while an older generation refuses to step aside out of a sense of entitlement. That's why it feels good to see candidates like Michelle Wu and Zohran Mamdani succeed.

Billionaires poured money into @wutrain.bsky.social’s nepobaby opponent who ran as a Dem (lol) America’s Best Mayor™️ trucked him by 49% (!!!)

Racist Twitter accounts in shambles

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who in her first term transformed from a progressive leader in local politics into an ascending figure of the national Democratic opposition, officially claimed a second term, the decisive end to a campaign that cemented her dominance in city politics.

and i’m generally of the view that simply refusing to operate in a defensive crouch does a lot of the necessary political work. “i don’t agree with him but he isn’t a punk” is a real phenomenon!

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Building community online and irl through shared work and principles is lit.

CNN exit polls show young men backing Democrats in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York. Read more here: youngmenresearchinitiative.substack.com/p/young-men-...

Zooming out, Boston on the surface of last night did not see change as other places did -- the change had already come four years ago, saw some additions two years ago, and was reconfirmed last night

Well said.

Hope lives

Zohran Mamdani: "I am Muslim. I am a democratic-socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this."

wutrain running nonstop

Socialism!

✌️

Turns out voters will vote for democrats if you actually stand up to the right instead of appease

Zohran Mamdani: "So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Good things are possible!

Astoria's Zohran watch party is so over packed that the backup bar (also a huge beer garden) is now full and virtually every bar in the neighborhood is reportedly filling fast

Live America reaction:

Elizabeth Warren, who endorsed Mamdani fairly early, says he has a lesson for Democrats: “that Americans care about what living costs them every day. Zohran put together an entire campaign around bringing down the cost of child care, groceries and transportation, and he's going to win on that.”
