“Jordan has been on SNAP since 2009. He’s been unable to work for several years now because of major depression, and said he’s fortunate to have Section 8 housing where he lives in Utah, “otherwise I would likely be on the street or dead by now.” Jordan, 42,” 🧵

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

🚨🚨🚨LOS ANGELES- This is a call for ALL HANDS ON DECK! Organize your neighborhood, patrol your block, & defend your neighbors! Feds are targeting LA more aggressively than ever. THREAD with updates from @latenantsunion.bsky.social on feds escalating + changing tactics & how we fight back:

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

"When information doesn’t flow, neither can trust, creativity, or accountability." On November 13, join NPQ and strategic leader Karla Monterroso to discuss the seven levers of power npqleadingedge.org/shop/webinar... Read more from @karlaliliana.bsky.social: nonprofitquarterly.org/are-we-ready...

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

This is both the funniest news and affirming with how everyday citizens see the ridiculousness of ICE.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

As racist responses to Mamdani's win emerge on social platforms, consider not sharing the actual posts. Our Muslim siblings don't need to see that bullshit every time they scroll, & we can just call out the people saying those things as racist fools, & stay focused on our joy over his win 🥰

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani is kicking off with a big move: bringing former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan to co-chair his transition team. It's a strong suggestion that he’s willing to take on powerful corporate interests as mayor. trib.al/99csETK

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

We had an assignment. We were clear.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

I want the rest of us to know this. I want folks to speak to their lives , to the diversity of who we are, the sustenance of our future and the immediacy of this moment That if you start talking and seeing and LISTENING to people who work ? We can do this

Zohran's got so many people voting that we haven't seen this kind of turnout in my lifetime and I'm so elderly that I'm older than the digital camera.

Federal agents kidnapped a baby during an operation at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. Feds took the baby away while they were abducting the father. Fuck these monsters.

Hey Democratic leader of the US Senate, in today's election, did you vote for the Democratic nominee? Or the known repeat sexual harasser from the "Fight and Deliver" party who was endorsed by Trump and Stephen Miller? "Look, I voted"

The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/m...

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

DAILY MEMO: As L.A. Celebrates World Series Win, Feds Target Our Street Vendors 🧵 3 parts 👇🏽 Starting with Saturday, November 1st, 2025

It also means that anyone who gets entry to that class (i.e. through scholarships) should bend to class interests. The goal is to "get out" not to lift up. Chomsky said this exact thing about "elite" media.

This event was organized on very short notice, after a long and exhausting day, but a lot of people showed up, because we need each other right now. We have to make space for poetry, song, grief, and a celebration of the communities, relationships, and values that fuel our resistance.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

good time to respectfully tap the "please support worker-led, billionaire-free, independent news" sign

Someone give Lex $2 million so they can launch a politics version of Teen Vogue. Do it now. No strings attached.

I see people say things like "will *they* let us have x, y, z" as it relates to the fascists and their enablers and I am here to say THEY WON'T *LET* YOU HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL. You have to band with others to TAKE what you want. That's really it.

63% of Americans say Trump has fallen short on the economy. 65% say he’s fallen short on looking out for the middle class. 66% say he’s fallen short on handling inflation and the cost of living.

I really hope Americans understand that the forced famine in Gaza and this are intrinsically connected

There are many ways to kill and torture people.

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars: 1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

The trophy is home. 🏆

Deeply unnecessary but typical LAPD violence. Important to note, they were not doing this in rich predominantly white areas of LA celebrating. They did this in Echo Park for a reason.

Yes, an important test for the midterms.

Jeff Bezos collected the Child Tax Credit last year because billionaires claim they don't make money by taking out loans against their wealth instead of actually spending it He collected the fucking Child Tax Credit Buy that whole foods sushi with SNAP

Get ready people. Get. Ready.

“.. Guests were seen mimicking ‘Roaring 20's’ era attire, a period just before the Great Depression that historians note for its staggering income inequity.” 🤡 @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

by any conceivable measure SNAP is one of the best programs we have, keeps countless people from food insecurity, and every dollar spent goes back into the community 1.5 times over if you’re policing what people spend it on because they don’t “deserve” joy you’re a shitty excuse for a human being

Happy Día de Los Muertos y’all. I wasn’t able to put up my altar this year because of my move but my thoughts are with my ancestors, along with my eternal gratitude for the way helped shape my life.
