All I have to say about the Nuzzi profile is that at the end of it she jokes about how she destroyed her life. In fact she did not do that. She has a book, a magazine job, this lovely profile. People’s lives are being destroyed by this administration, however, including by -well, you know.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Eight Senate Democrats saw charts like these and decided "oh yes, now that public opinion is on our side and our opponent is facing electoral consequences for their policy choices, now is a great time to give up all of our leverage in health care negotiations" www.gelliottmorris.com/p/donald-tru...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

State sanctioned hunger for millions by the same ppl who have killed 600,000 by pulling USAID. This is their domestic version. The funds exist, this is sheer malice, it’s monstrous, structurally violent. Immoral, the president, ostensibly, has a contract with all of the 🇺🇸 ppl. To protect and serve

Corporate media: Democrats need to stop being out of touch with Real America

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Thanks for alerting me--in admirably snappy prose--to the existence of "Long Story Short," @sarahmseltzer.bsky.social! Your post came just as I finished watching "Nobody Wants This." lilith.org/2025/10/the-...

This is the most Lin-Manuel thing I've ever heard

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.

Signed on to Facebook solely to troll Cuomo voters, but then felt bad bc it was harshing *my* vibe and deleted the post

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

Zohran Mamdani's platform called for: - doubling funding for NYC's Abortion Access Hub and the New York Abortion Access Fund, - $65 million for public clinics and sexual and reproductive health care providers - universal childcare and 'baby baskets' for new parents It's a good day for NYC ❤️

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.

JUST IN: Democrats have swept the 3 supreme court elections in Pennsylvania. They beat back a concerted GOP effort to erase their majority; instead, they'll keep a 5-2 edge on this very important court.

Another often overlooked but important election. Loudoun County Public Schools has been ground zero for targeting by the Trump administration over trans students, and chose to protect their students. Pro-trans candidates Chandler and Svenson are winning, and anti-trans Munoz-Melendez is losing.

It’s 9pm baby!!!!!!

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

My plan exactly

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

“Did you vote the way Kathy Hochul, Tish James, and Jerry Nadler said to vote, or the way Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Elon Musk said to vote?” should not be a difficult question for a Democratic Senator from New York to answer.

Tonight we are all Canadian (I hope)

The US government shut down 30 days ago. WIRED spoke with more than a dozen federal workers who have struggled to pay bills, worked side gigs, and relied on free food programs to get by. www.wired.com/story/federa...

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The SNAP fight is actually a recapitulation of the entire purpose of the shutdown. There's a contingency fund, Trump is required to spend it, but he's not, usurping Congress's power of the purse, essentially so he can do it again with normal appropriations whenever he wants

“Naomi ends up being the heart of the family, and the story. Because keeping a family functioning, and intact, might require being pushy, controlling, critical, and frankly, difficult.” Thank you @sarahmseltzer.bsky.social! lilith.org/2025/10/the-...

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

A tool built on the stolen labor of others will not liberate you as a worker. A tool built on the stolen ideas of others will not liberate you as a thinker. You are not using the tool; the tool is using you. Stop it.

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

How many employees and staffers of this administration must be outed as Hitler Admirers before it becomes a widely accepted Problem

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

the cool thing about the movie is actually that it features all the annoying kinds of people you find in left spaces without feeling like left bashing

My twin is on furlough due to the shutdown and I had Shemini Atzeret off work today, so we went to a “One Battle After Another” matinee and laughed our asses off, 10/10 would recommend

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Every damn day parents of disabled children have to watch this man attack our kids for existing. No provocation, no reason—just hate. He mocks what he’ll never understand and weaponizes their existence for power. We’re past outrage. This is cruelty, and we’re not staying quiet. #Pinks

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility They kidnapped a disabled child!

Hard to find a more obvious example of the journalism adage “If someone says it’s raining outside and someone else says it isn’t, your job is not to quote them both, your job is to go outside.”

mean horrible cruel

Powerful words of truth and solidarity from Council Speaker Adrienne Adams today. We have your back, Tish James.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.
