Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

The very first #TeslaTakedown weekend of action was nearly nine months ago, on Feb. 15. Now we're calling for a mass mobilization on Nov. 15 to stand up to extreme greed and say #NoTrillionaires! Host an event in your community! 👇🧵 #teslatakedown actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Here's everything I've done so far on broligarchy, all in one place, starting with my Inauguration Day interview on @thedailyshow.com with Jon Stewart, through multiple BlueSky threads on the subject, some other interviews & a couple articles in @theatlantic.com. 1/9 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvCm...

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Just watched “One Battle After Another” and this guy is *absolutely* one of the Christmas Adventurers. White supremacist to the bone marrow.

How many of these will we have before we do something about it?

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

#Sudan 🇸🇩 In #ElFasher, journalists have become both witnesses and victims. @pressfreedom.bsky.social documents abductions, disappearances, and killings under RSF rule, a stark reminder of the impunity silencing Sudan’s remaining independent voices. buff.ly/ujrsQl0

Looking at that first category.

For those wondering if his talking about World Cup tickets was a recency thing with Mamdani, a very long time ago, Real Oviedo was a football club in trouble. It launched a public shares effort. I bought some, lots of people did. The new Mayor of New York is a proper damn football nerd.

Die Mehrheit der Menschen in Deutschland ist wegen eines Anwachsens des Rechtsextremismus besorgt – gleichzeitig scheint dieser selbst zu stagnieren. Zudem steigt das Misstrauen in die Demokratie. Die Ergebnisse der neuen #MitteStudie:

Every word of this thread, especially the part about old prejudices returning at terrifying speed. What British - or, more accurately, English - complacency has allowed to happen to the EU is so dangerous.

This is what you get for respecting the Wu-Tang Clan. 👏

🫣 “OpenAI is struggling to convince more than a measly five percent of its 800 million active ChatGPT users to pay for a subscription.” 🤡

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

Christ, the pandemic.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

It is gonna be so funny watching the NYC bajillionaires scramble to get appointments with Mayor Mamdani after they all insisted they were gonna move to Florida if he won. First of all, most of you already have places in FL and claim it as your primary resident so you don’t have to pay NYC taxes

I know it's so alien for some of you to feel good on an election night. Savor every second. We don't get a lot of these.

“We won because we insisted that politics is no longer something that is done to us. Now it is something we do.” Every single word of this Mamdani speech is fucking fire.

What’s absolutely the best about this night is that he did it by talking about what people really care about AND supporting the people moderates say we have to abandon.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

When they go low, cook them.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

He is also a fool. Angela Merkel didn’t let all the Syrians in just because she has a good heart; she had a good long look at the demographics necessary to support the sputtering German economy, and the answer is immigrants. Merz libels these smart, motivated, hard working people at his own peril.

Luis Díaz looks like he's having the kind of evening @okwonga.bsky.social dreams of.

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

Today a story I've spent months reporting and writing runs on @desmog.com and @theguardian.com. It's based on hundreds of exclusive documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial across Latin America and the Global South. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...
