Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

“I like to be chic,” he said. “I go to school like this.” -this kid is a character from a YA novel!

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Went to bed just profoundly mad about how AI is being forced down our throats by the same billionaires who make life worse for just about everyone all the time and woke up still mad about it. I just want to watch orca nature videos that aren’t fake tech bro nonsense!

Sometimes on the internet you would see an astonishing video of a whale or a butterfly or a dog doing people things and it would make you smile. Thanks to AI slop, every one of those things is in doubt, a lie, or a scam. But at least what we gained from it is…nothing.

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

Remember Doug Jones? Really [something] that Alabama voters replaced him with this guy

We’re at war?

get in girls we’re bringing back phrenology

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

broken record on this but a similarly great beat for left wing media would be covering arts and culture and not just focusing primarily on politics and current events because there's a massive void there right now

“Sudan's Death Toll Could Exceed Gaza’s. Here’s Everything You Need to Know” Important convo on the genocide there from me/Zeteo, with 2 Sudan experts who offer actual solutions to stop the fighting & put pressure on outside actors like the UAE & Saudi:

Hell, individual big international unions could also do this. Give out grants to working class journalists, fund reporting trips, pay for things like records requests and training—it would be such a good investment. We used to have a widespread, well-funded labor press. We badly need one now.

Just unnecessary cruelty. This is their priority as the government is shut down and Americans are starving. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

CASE GOES COLD, CUTS AGAINST DOJ

I’m irked by the use of the word “leverage.” You paid a company to do a (weird) thing. Calm your thesaurus down.

“…he mandates employees use AI at least an hour daily.” Ah yes, because useful technologies always need to be forced on employees by management www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Oh good, now they want to let the stupid plagiarism robot ban our books instead of having a human do it. And it’s for profit, of course. These companies are parasites. www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

Republican by +1.2 "a mandate" Democrat by +35 "questions remain"

Voters like it when politicians stand for things, especially when those things are humane.

Congrats to all those organized for this (and a special shout out to @authorsabb.bsky.social Authors Against Book Bans)

Book banning is unpopular.

Big day for people who care about other people

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

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%.

Democrat Larry Krasner, a national figurehead for reform prosecutors, has won reelection as Philadelphia’s district attorney.

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

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Jay Jones (D) has been elected Attorney General of Virginia, defeating Republican incumbent Jason Miyares. It's a clean sweep for Democrats tonight in Virginia: all statewide offices.

Pennsylvania retains its 5-2 Dem majority on the Supreme Court. Absolute bloodbath tonight for anti-trans Republicans. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

And now Mikie Sherrill A major loss for anti-trans ads tonight.

Breaking: Democrats flip two Public Service Commission seats in Georgia, the first victories in 25 years.

Virginia's election results should teach us that people reject anti-trans politics, and we must all immediately move as far left as possible on the issue

It’s always so informative to note which outcomes are seen as Proof About How Things Are, and which are treated as “huh, strange. Well, moving on.” The VA Gov race will surely be the latter, since it fails to fit The Narrative too many are trying to tell.

I miss @redistrict.bsky.social’s election night data updates and analysis.

"Allow us to triple your health insurance premiums or we're going to ruin Thanksgiving" does not seem to be a winning political strategy, but who am I?

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

We are willfully shortening our life expectancies bc we created a class of incurious oligarchs who falsely equated wealth as proof that they were (edgily, nihilistically) clever, and are now burning everything down bc they cannot see or admit how deeply, profoundly wrong they were.

“every time theres a republican president the economy collapses” feels like pretty easy messaging on the economy

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029. The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race. Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
