AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Fantastic analysis.

The billionaires aren't afraid Mamdani will be a disaster. They're terrified he'll be successful.

By popular demand, @aceckhouse.bsky.social and I have put together a deep-in-the-weeds explainer on SB 79. Enjoy! substack.com/home/post/p-...

Between this & zero traffic deaths in Helsinki last year.... The simple truth that's somehow utterly unintelligible to capitalism & those in its thrall is that doing the right thing by the vulnerable (be they houseless, pedestrians, or anything else) makes the world BETTER FOR EVERYONE.

People who brag about being able to travel for a long time with one small bag - just know that some of us view that as a lack of imagination. 😉

White American women have been primed for this role advancing fascism. We rebellious ones will need to get even rowdier to disrupt it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The best protest the left could do right now is a one-week total social media blackout -- all of us simultaneously resting, recharging, and getting out of the grip of the rage algorithm to reset while starving the MAGA types of the fuel of our attention. Any influentials wanna make this a thing? 🙏

"Respond" to what? Brazil applying its own laws to a Brazilian in a fair and transparent process?

Not to mention, sprawl creates fascists. Who’s more likely to be aggrieved and vengeful? The guy who walks to the store and has a drink at the bar and chats with people, or the guy who sits in traffic all day and views other people as obstacles in his way?

Protesters in Chicago are bravely interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel right now, where US Customs and Border protection is recruiting today. They are distributing these trifolds that we published. You can print them out yourself here: crimethinc.com/zines/8-thin...

Oh thank goodness they’re removing this danger to the players.

Not the point at all I know but “Thank you for your attention to this matter” has such Memo from the Assistant *to* the Regional Manager energy.

Worth a read folks. If you are a cyclist here is some mythbusters you can use against car brained folks. #Winnipeg #ActiveTransportation momentummag.com/your-comebac...

This is the post in question btw. Totally normal!

Simpsons creator Matt Groening dealing with his new-found success at the 21st annual San Diego Comic Con in August 1990. This was the first time The Simpsons team appeared at #SDCC. Sam Simon introduces Matt at the panel where @aljeansimpsons.bsky.social can also be seen.

These Coldplay concerts are getting out of hand.

The reason you'd have to be "living under a rock" to not know Cuomo lost a primary that "only 13% of New Yorkers voted in" is that Mamdani is an absolute star and staged a huge upset. Not sure I would have called this out!

“…he presented his Texas ID, Social Security card and a wallet-sized birth certificate. The agents refused to believe he was a citizen and took him into custody. “I told them we had rights and asked to make a phone call. But they told us, 'You don't have rights to anything'," Galicia told the paper”

boycott! also boycott all red states vying for their own concentration camps!

He literally forced his coders to make his AI into a nazi. How could you possibly satirize this?

👇 👇 👇 👇 👇

The problem here isn't just the answer but the question. Mamdani has denounced antisemitism and clarified his position on this random slogan *other people* chanted at a protest numerous times. This is only a "tough question" if you think it's your job to repeat bad faith Republican attacks.

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

“As bipartisan mayors we get it, we understand this is not the right path forward,” San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, along with Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan Barnett, unpacks how President Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico are impacting their communities.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush?

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

stealing our money from us and ruling over us like conquered territory. intolerable.

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

The Big Beautiful Beef is giving me life today.

We did focus on the economy, but our ideas nibbled around the edges. We were afraid of being labeled “radical” so instead we were mealy mouthed in both policy and messaging.

Imagine wasting precious time and resources to intentionally make enormous numbers of people in your ranks feel devalued and degraded.

We are just over five months into this administration.

A lot of people are surprised by Marco Rubio's complete and hasty transition to Trump Bootlicker because he seemed like "a regular neocon." No, he was always a weak little man with no weight of conviction to tether him, and he's just letting the political winds of the moment blow him around.

Is there any explanation for this dismantling of all of our advantages other than Trump's being put up to it by our enemies? I am normally not paranoid or conspiracy-minded, but how else can you explain this, other than deliberate betrayal of our interests?

WaPo dutifully cleaning up the narrative of Musk’s ruinous rampage through the federal government, blaming DOGE’s poor results on “fierce institutional resistance” and not his total reckless incompetence.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Putin couldn’t have dreamed up a better outcome, alienate our allies, gut federal institutions, fire qualified generals, wreck national security with drunk incompetent fools at the top, tank the economy and $ with tariff wars… all in just 4 months. And here we are. Coincidence?

Target used to get hundreds of my dollars each month, and I haven't been once since the DEI rollback. It was the nudge I needed to finally just join Costco for the types of goods I used to get at Target. And I'm buying less generally.

"I'd crusade if the new Pope asked me to" wow, cool. What if he asked you to love and protect immigrants

No but please say more about how no one in the Biden administration called out his age-related flagging mental acuity. www.instagram.com/reel/DJrlICW...

political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”

WaPo credulously acting like the age of the planes has as any relevance whatsoever in this conversation about naked corruption.

Weird how no one considers how masked goons arresting students for op-eds or mayors for mayoring might affect 'centrist voters.'
