The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s fall meeting is at a 5-star resort in Sea Island, Georgia, October 3–5. Their schedule will include buffet meals, pickleball, golf, shooting and lawn games — all as the fates of millions of Americans hang in the balance. www.rawstory.com/gop-shutdown...

I’ll fight to raise wages, feed hungry kids, reopen hospitals, take homes back from corporations, and invest in small businesses. It’s time to build a movement that will change who represents us and fight for a Georgia we can afford! Join our movement at ruwaforgeorgia.com

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

@alexmclenon.bsky.social heard your report on @wnyc.org in NYC. Don’t automatically use narrative language of the police… especially when it comes to when they kill someone - even when it’s warranted. “Neutralize”?? Please just say “kill” just like your colleague, Steve Carmody did. TY

@mta.info STOP BLARING THE TRAIN HORNS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN EAST HARLEM. I was asleep and but I’m now wide awake when a horn went off at 1:02am.These operators sit on the horn like they are about to crash. It is harming my health and countless others who live beside the Metro North tracks.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

this is a real video eric adams posted today.. not sure he remembers he's running for mayor or what at this point

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social , A few days ago I submitted a message to you via your website. I was one of the voters scheduled to attend the town hall meeting on WABC - TV. I didn't get a chance to ask my "?". I asked it in the message but haven't heard back yet. I know you're busy. The "?" is...

Hey @npr.org Today’s morning edition had a reporter say President Ahmed al-Sharaa was on a “charm offensive” for being at the U.N. What a bigoted thing to say. He’s a head of state attending the UN assembly which is something that heads of state do. 1/3

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Pritzker seems to be the only one warning about this regularly

This is one of my fighting songs when I feel small and helpless. youtu.be/DkFJE8ZdeG8?... Calle 13’s Latinoamérica

All the super straight, Christian, MAGA warriors broke down Grindr, the gay dating/sex app, yet again. The last time it broke down...the RNC in Wisconsin.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

If you’re too afraid to do your job, you should quit your job. If you’re too afraid to report on what’s going on because you’re afraid of MAGA death threats, you should stop being a reporter. if you’re too afraid to vote against honoring a white nationalist due to death threats, you should resign.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Law firms, colleges, the media, etc. are rolling over to fascism because wealthy people don’t want to lose any of the extra money they can’t even consume in a lifetime. Rolling over means they keep their wealth even if it fucks over our entire democracy. This is capitalism.

I hate rich people. They try to act like they’re like the working and lower classes but they are not. I have little to money. My leisure time is time in Central Park and Randall’s Island or a free event. When I saw migrants hustling to collect cans, I gave them what I could…

If you wanna play a fun game, go to mainland Europe (anywhere, it doesn't matter) and just bring up the existence of Romani people. Watch them turn into klansmen in real time

Watching the “we’re not obsessed with race like you Americans” people do the whole redlining, wannabe lynch mobs, and state violence all out in public.

“The #female #tourism #police are also taking #part in securing the pavilions of the 62nd #Damascus #International Fair.”

For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society

Reminder that the US Trump regime conspired to over throw Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, a direct attack on democracy in Ukraine and worldwide.

If only Black cops understood that these institutions will never love them back

The pro-pediatric brain cancer administration.

Don’t look away

The DNC actually did set up a "shadow cabinet" back in April. It was just a list of people available to be interviewed, who weren't assigned to any specific departments or areas of expertise, and it immediately disappeared and was never heard from again.

“Speaking of going beyond economics, one underplayed argument for the four-day week is surely this: children in the Netherlands rank as the happiest in the rich world.” on.ft.com/4g42Gs3

ChatGPT informs the cops. If the other reasons aren't enough not to use it, consider this one thoroughly.

A Zionist mob threw bombs at UCLA pro-Palestine students while cops watched on, cops brutalized students the next day, the mob sued and UCLA settled to appease Trump, Trump demanded 1B next day, and now Beverly Hills schools are flying Israeli flags out of unfounded fears and solidarity w/genocide

I know there's a lot happening today, but this is sneaking in under the radar. This proposed new rule would absolutely crush foreign PhD students, potentially making it impossible for them to enroll with any certainty of their ability to finish www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Arab inaction in the face of the Gaza genocide will haunt them when Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel' project extends Israel's firepower into their countries, writes Rafik Abdessalem ⬇️

The film 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' by Kaouther Ben Hania is showing at the Venice film festival.

"We are witnessing unprecedented overcrowding in incubators, with up to four babies placed in a single unit. This alone is a medical crime forced upon us."

These are really insane numbers. Even if we only look at formal political offices, billionaires are more than 10,000x more likely to hold a national political position than the average person.

Israel’s ‘legitimisation cell’ unit works to link Palestinian journalists to Hamas, often as the pretext for assassinating them. Over the past 22 months of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, at least 270 Palestinian journalists have been killed.

Journalists in London have held a vigil for their Palestinian colleagues murdered by Israel in Gaza. The vigil was organised by the London Freelance Branch of the NUJ

"What we are able to report.. is only the tip of the iceberg of mountains of cases and evidence of the spread of malnutrition" Hani Mahmoud reporting a few minutes ago from Gaza City on the spread of starvation.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

it really feels like a betrayal that the journalism industry essentially shifted overnight from "we have two rules: don't lie, and don't plagiarize" to "oh hell, just use the plagiarism machine to make shit up"
