I finally watched Pillion, and I am ready for the discourse

LOL to all the pundits declaring that NOW it’s really fascism.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

“Don’t you know, they’re talking ‘bout a revolution…” — Tracy Chapman

Trump keeps receiving the honors from others!

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

“Apres moi, le deluge.” Nothing else makes sense to explain the decrepit, diminished, disgraced Drumpf.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

President no new wars is threatening to seize Greenland again. A day after raiding Venezuela and a week after bombing Nigeria. And MAGA is still talking about how he’s the peace president 🤦‍♂️ fucking idiots

That press conference was extraordinary in its bald admissions of imperial impunity and oil grab.

Has anyone in the press asked how many people were killed?

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

Corey Booker posted the 60 minutes segment on CECAT that Bari Weiss censored on his YouTube and it’s every bit as damning as you’d expect.

Watching the Jeff Buckley documentary an example of what I want to talk about and rarely get a chance to. And not just talk, read. I miss the heyday of pop music journalism.

I’m not giving up on this platform just yet, but the wall-to-wall US political rage cycle is not a solution.

Got lectured by a friend at brunch about not training my social media algorithms better. He doesn’t know it sees into my unconscious better than I ever can.

@athipatraruga.bsky.social honored by the follow. Big fan of your work.

Nothing would make the violence of the past few days better. But the statements of certain particular leaders have made it far worse.

Finally catching up to After the Fall, it’s bonkers.

There should be a national conservatory for the preservation of funk. The musicianship in those 70s bands is beyond beyond.

Mayor-elect Mamdani should bring back Mitchell-Lama housing

Mamdani over 50% A win and a clear majority

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Every public school teacher you know now knows more about how to help families find affordable food than they did about a week ago. In case any anti-teacher-union types are curious, this is what those disruptive organizers have been texting/emailing each other about all weekend.

I feel like a bluesky scold for harping on this, but the constant racist misspelling and mispronunciation of Zohran’s name by the right is just another sign of how bankrupt they are morally.

@lisaduggan.bsky.social Just realized we are on Blue Sky together! Oh happy day!

2020 wasn’t an anomaly. It was a blueprint. — a friend just now.

Dear New York, at the very least, please give wonderful Democratic Socialist Mamdani a massive landslide victory so that he has a mandate.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

We Need to Rethink How We Think About the Holocaust www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/o...

There is a shared semiotics of protest derived from manga on which the generational reading is hinged. But that seems thin.

MLK was a national civil rights leader by his twenties, and assassinated at 39. Yet he was not limited to a “youth activist.”

Why are all these anti-establishment protests happening globally being reported on as “Gen Z”? Isn’t that a little reductive ?

If you vote in NYC, vote early. Don’t wake up Nov 5th with Andrew Cuomo as your mayor.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

I will never get over that “you knew I was a snake when you let me in” story Trump told all the time on the campaign trail in 2016.

While Americans are paying more than ever for basic necessities, the Trump family has been making themselves richer.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

For my forever Space Sis: 🎂 💞

Watching Zohran and Tish James and others rally in NYC last night was sanity restoring: there is a message that resonates with US voters even in these times. They just need a real choice.

This admin made off with the biggest heist for the ultra rich and now wants to jack up health premiums for working folk to pay for it.

The ACA now has net +35 favorability amongst polled Americans, and is favored even among Republicans and in Republican controlled districts. Turns out everyone likes having health care!

Finally saw ‘One Battle After Another.’ Definitely a sign of the times, but not his best film. But I’m glad the fascists hate it. Sean Penn should win all the awards.

Still thinking about ‘The Alabama Solution.’ What a great piece of muckraking journalism. Bring back muckraking journalism.
