In my authority as someone who has spent the last 2 years Doing (Cuba) Stuff with Danny, I will say that this is a man who is very good at doing stuff, and we should support his campaign!

In case anyone's wondering: National Endowment for the Humanities staff, 70% of whom were terminated this summer, are not included in the concessions for reopening the government. Only RIFs that occurred during the shutdown will be reversed. We're still fired. And it's still wrong. #NEH

My flights went off with only 1-3 hour delays which is par for the course at this stage even without a shutdown so yay. It's still a tragedy there's not a 1 hour high speed rail between Boston and NYC.

Ladies if your man is dead weight at the airport he's dead weight in your real life. Dump him.

if you are upset, confused, and feeling betrayed about the democrats caving like Howe Caverns, may I suggest what I did when they failed to get a public option in the ACA back in dickitynine: read Marx, get radicalized, and devote your life to the immortal science of Marxist-Leninism

Chuck Schumer eat a dick in hell

My pet theory is this kind of Guy has terminal West Wing Brain: meaning that only the speech matters, so if you make a good argument your work here is done

Good point Mr Trump, the embargo on Cuba is illegal and should be lifted immediately

I love reading holiday gift guides but they need to stop recommending weird bougie chili crisp. The only chili crisp is Lao Gan Ma, with the guy on it.

This flight happens Monday night. It's also the lowest stakes flight I have ever taken, so... shutdown crisis: do your worst

Today the nurse asked my aunt what year it was, and she didn't know, but guessed 2004. Girl I wish.

I want this joy for all of you

Everyone deserves food, and the government should provide it. No qualifications, no exceptions.

Are you detail-oriented? or are you "looking up the flight path of today's version of the flight you're booking so you can sit on the side of the airplane with the best city views" detail-oriented?

[As gently as I can muster] the point is not that they don't understand the culturally expansive definition of "Aunt." They're calling him a liar. "It didn't happen." "It wasn't that bad." "She deserved it" etc

Halfway through The Secret History and we've already done the whole murder (this is not a spoiler) so like...what are we doing for the next 10 hours of this audiobook?

Sus vibes at Target: cops handing out candy to kids at the entrance. A woman in hosiery clipboarding for a ballot initiative to "keep drugs away from the school children."

I am so proud of my DSA comrades on delegation 🥲 You all stretched yourselves be on this trip, and to listen, learn and grow in your understanding of Cuban socialism. I'm so excited to see what we will do together to lift the blockade.

That feel when you go to a super insightful, philosophy of the web session that totally ruins the basic bitch presentation you were set to give in 2 hours...

"No piece of software has ever brought me to tears" - Rob Hassler at MCN Ignite. Point taken sir but hard disagree on that one

I was so honored to lead this delegation with @through.blog, happy to plan it with @zorakc2c.bsky.social, Tom, Tristan, and Bob, and touched to see our comrade delegates experiencing new depths of solidarity as they learned from the Cuban people (and the ongoing revolution). Abajo el bloqueo!

Work nemesis as opposed to enemy but absolutely

About to find out what happens when you run a load of laundry without soap oops

Airports are like: want to experience the miracle of flight? Fuck you; solve the guards' riddles, walk a mile through the labyrinth, then sit perfectly still for a minimum of 2 hours

ngl an overpriced subway sandwich slaps at the airport particularly

Lol digital hoarding, cold dead hands etc

Alright everyone I'm fucking off out of the country so if you need anything from me, no you don't. SOL 😎

We're not going to be slavish to the Great Man of History anymore, but that means we also don't do the Shit Man of History either.

The Mamdani campaign dares to ask the question "What if a politician had swag?"

I put this on my calendar a year ago 🦴

A great innovation would be ability to mute a particular image from your feed. I don't want to see the leather dongus runway model for example, thx

I am a Marxist because socialism both repudiates the exploitation of any human being and rejects the notion that capitalism is the best we can do. This video is the water we live in. it is foul, it is abominable, and the single most important work of mankind is to evolve beyond it, into the sunlight

"I like Seth Moulton too thoooough" - overheard on Brattle Street

gonna collect the various links into a thread I hope to never post to again :

I'd tell Ezra Klein to eat a dick in hell but he seems to have built a career doing that

Two people in bike helmets parked next to the community path, making out. That's the Somerville promise

I hate to break it to y'all but only a failed state has "normal" government shutdowns to begin with.

I don't go on twitter anymore but I wrote the DSA tweet commemorating Assata so I went to read it and hooo the comments. 1.8k likes are not worth 1.4k dog shit comments and a community note about her bs felony convictions.

"Am I a good person" is a question you should only ask yourself, never anyone else. Because if someone else has to be asked to weigh in on that you already failed

Rest in Power, Assata Shakur. Thank you to the Cuban communists who gave her asylum, never gave her up, and let her live in peace after she escaped the most brutal oppression of the Amerikan state.

I always look up west coast swing dances whenever I travel somewhere and inevitably am disappointed that I cannot just choose between 3-4 dance nights every week like I do at home.

Seth Moulton can eat a dick in hell. Trans rights forever.

Cubans can't get Tylenol because of the US blockade. They also can't get US vaccines so they make their own, and focus on prevention. This is what socialist government that cares about the people's health does.
