"Alex Kleytman, an 87-year-old Ukrainian Holocaust survivor, was celebrating Hanukkah with his wife of 57 years, Larisa Kleytman, also a Holocaust survivor, when the attack began. He was killed while shielding Larisa from the bullets with his own body." www.timesofisrael.com/chabad-rabbi...

When Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.

I said in January that this would be my top song of the year and I LOVE being right

@brendannyhan.bsky.social is right: young people are reluctant to come to the defense of institutions that have excluded them, ignored them, and crushed their movements www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

I think maybe people want to vote for good people?

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

all that money rich people are spending trying to find the progressive joe rogan and it's just zohran mamdani running for office

i love Us demanding that power take care of Us

There are more of us than there are of them.

As the Trump administration continues its crackdown, millions across the US are expected to hit the streets for this weekend's "No Kings" protest. If that includes you or your loved ones, here's a 🧵 of guides to follow to protest safely in the age of surveillance. wrd.cm/4lEVQu9

I am an airplane person who thinks that nearly all commuter flight routes should be replaced with high-speed trains

Taylor swift voice I think I’ve seen this film before and I didn’t like the ending bc it was a giant waste of money

This was a crazy thing to see in my instagram notifications this morning. We’re just labeling people suspected terrorists now? In groups that don’t even exist?

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

Trump's whitewashing of history continues unabated: National park to remove photo of enslaved man’s scars www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

There are FOUR HUNDRED DC residents and allies signed up for the upcoming DC Organizing Festival on Sept. 6. Join us and over 20 partners from across the District for a day of celebration and strategy—and free food! Register here, and we'll see you then: www.eventbrite.com/e/dc-organiz...

We're getting dinner near there and they're shutting streets down. Totally normal upscale restaurant area. Note the small dog being walked. Keep this in mind later when they act like the president is braving a warzone

sorry to be a debbie downer but—yeah

I bet the troops love protecting the bougie parts of Washington, D.C. One day they can tell their kids they were there for the Battle of Sephora

Excited to see you tonight @mirvish.bsky.social!!

This margin is a good reminder that you can transform politics without throwing out all the shitty politicians first. Elected officials respond to incentives. When incentives change, their behavior changes—for good and for bad.

What the fuck is wrong with the Democratic Party?

Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i... www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

Saw Superman, cried five times and I’ll do it again

A 21-year-old Florida man was beaten to death by Israeli settlers while visiting family in the West Bank.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

I think Zohran Mamdani demonstrated pretty handily that he’ll protect Jewish New Yorkers when the seniormost Jewish elected official in the city was detained by jackbooted thugs and he was on the scene demanding his release in minutes

Brad Lander is putting on a really lovely demonstration of how Jews can reject white supremacy and build political power for a multiracial coalition. Kristen Gillibrand is showing how white gentiles will use Jews’ fears of antisemitism to advance their own ends. We have a choice of which way to go.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

people don’t know what to get excited about with so much gloom, but I know exactly what to get excited about, it’s each other

What a great day

When we run leftist candidates, those candidates win. Because leftist values ARE the values the people believe in. Respond to. Show up for. Whatever the donor class may tell you, and however hard they may fight us, remember that. These are the policies that WIN.

WFP, DSA NY, JFREJ, DRUM, etc... take a bow.

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

Part of Zohran’s strength was a positive vision rather than an alternative to something worse but I think a lot of awful people were really banking on a result that allowed them to definitively close the book on the idea that MeToo shit is disqualifying, I wish them a harrowing night

The base is furious and wants change. There are few things that are clearer. Dems can either capture that energy and ride a massive wave — or they can keep fighting a civil war that is tearing this party apart.

Everyone who got on board with a sex pest who actively hates the city should take a long look in the mirror tonight. Of course, they won’t. They’ll assure themselves they were “focused on winning elections,” but they should.

This is the list of Rape Culture apologists. It includes Cuomo stans and literally people sent to attack me and other survivors for years. I’ve tried to include as many high profile abusers as I can. It is bipartisan on bad people supporting abusers. Block block block. bsky.app/profile/did:...

HOLY SHIT

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.
