Sandwiches reign supreme.

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

“.. There were no counties or cities (as of writing) that moved right relative to four years ago. On average, they instead moved 13 points to the left.” @pbump.com #Virginia www.pbump.net/o/what-chang...

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.

The cover of next week's New Yorker, "Mayor Mamdani," by Edel Rodriguez.

Incredible momentum like you've never seen! Into the ground maybe.

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

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Just want to see one (1) news story on how toxic the Republican brand is among average, everyday Northeast urbanites, and how that should be seen as a major crisis for Republicans. Unfortunately I won’t bc this is still a country where cows and empty land get strong political representation

This person took this when they called the race

The Lenape people used an island they called ''Manahatta" as a shared hunting ground. Footpaths of game & hunters around wetlands and marshes followed a high ridge near the central part of the island called the Wickquasgeck Trail. The Dutch purchased the island 1624 (from the wrong Lenape, btw)...

Good morning it’s almost time.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Agreed. Universal healthcare, student debt forgiveness, and UBI would lead to a revolution in thinking and creativity and production. But the working class would get the benefits, not the capitalists

It's *exactly* why our economic system is set up this way. It's why they fight single-payer health care so hard. If our health care isn't tied to our jobs, employers can't control us.

It's funny, the no kings protests could be the best chace to normalize the idea of nationwide strikes in the US, if the organizers are serious. They do maybe 2 more on weekends to really lock them into people's practice, then say, "hey, let's show them we really mean business & do it on a Wednesday"

AWS is down, post hog

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

[redacted]

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

RVA 💪💪💪 #NoKings #RVA

Richmond Virginia, out in force for #NoKings We never saw the end of the march after nearly 40 mins of waiting at Monroe Park. 💪

i’ll never get over this

Our president is an international punchline, and so are we.

increasingly difficult to parody Dong Zhuo's words here

Easier to turn that "pure" and loyal force against minorities and wrongthink ideological opponents.

pete hegseth, who you will recall has been accused of domestic abuse and sexual assault, has announced a new policy by which you cannot file anonymous complaints of mistreatment. sex criminal solidarity.

And this will be the follow up in the future if they're not loyal when he calls them to crack down on "lawless" cities, or localities where they need to overturn election results. "Do it or me and Petey will ensure you're dishonorably discharged."

Ah, the christo-facist puppet master murdering civilians. This surprises absolutely no one.

Like speeding towards a brick wall and not even attempting to pump the brakes or swerve out of the way. Totally ludicrous that this is the strategy. "We hope & pray the brick wall will do the right thing and shift out of our way."

Do you ever think about how the people who control what airs on Fox News are currently running the country in a very direct sense?

Hey, senator, a couple quick questions. Has Congress historically played any kind of role as a watchdog against abuses of power by executive agencies? Does it have any committees dedicated to "oversight" of "governmental affairs"? Does "your lane" involve betraying the oath of office you took?

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

Oh nothing to see here…just Trump’s Chairman of the FCC using gifs to confirm that everything he’s doing was in Project 2025 that he co-wrote

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

"The fascists want us depleted, numb, and cynical." - I keep this top of mind daily and I actively refuse.

Correct. The default Dem position has to be, "I will fire everyone Trump appointed, and everyone hired by anyone Trump appointed, regardless of what any statute or court says." Anything less is a ratification of Trump's actions that leaves the government broken and filled with saboteurs.

🗣️ WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THIS WEEK - Aug 11- 24th Please share this flyer far and wide! Print and post them everywhere - hand them out at your next protest, at your church, at your grocery store... We are all we’ve got! And everyone has something to give. 💜

Here in Baltimore this morning, where clergy and activists have gathered in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is set to check in with ICE this morning. Heavy faith presence in addition to, just, a lot of people for 6:45am. Kilmar himself is about to speak.

The regime will do what it wants and we only have control over our responses. Let our responses be worthy of our values.

One thing I see in comments is a lot of people still saying solar and wind are no good when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. People, there are these things called batteries, which have also experienced huge progress 2/

Small victories..
