while trump is at it, it’s been too long since we’ve built brigantines and I think it’s time to bring them back

guess scott pressler is hanging in PA for the holidays

Perhaps we should film a debate between a concentration camp guard and an abandoned toilet over whether CECOT is good. Brought to you by Bank of America.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

✊ The WNBPA also announced Thursday that its members have voted overwhelmingly to authorize calling a strike "when necessary." nycclc.org/news/labor-s...

Beautiful eulogy for Asad Haider from Jeffrey Weber.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

for all that Brian Fitzpatrick is a target, it’s a damning commentary that his positions are often to the left of actual members of the democratic caucus, especially on labor

Thank you, @mcbride.house.gov. Our trans colleagues and students should not have to stand up for their rights alone.

As of this morning 4,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. Don’t cross their picket line. No Starbucks. NO Starbucks gift cards!

I agree with Ken Martin, it’d be a shame to distract voters from all the momentum democrats have

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat

crunchy liberal views on homeopathy and wellness and fascist views on homeopathy and wellness are the actual horseshoe theory

i pledge my life and my blade to pope Leo www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

17k dudes who are not emotionally mature enough to be in the workforce

i was very saddened to learn about Asad's passing, and i'll be going to the funeral if anyone wants me to bring an intention, message, or prayer on their behalf www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

No one has done more to counterbalance the corrupting influence of the "we can't have nice things" dweebs (Yggy, Silver, etc.) than Way to Win. This new report is well worth your time to read and incorporate into your work if we really want to win.

SEIU, who are organizing the Penn State faculty into a union, are holding a rally in the rotunda.

is this when economists all start revealing they too took flights on Epstein's plane

looking at Gen X men ahead of us and Gen Z men behind us it’s hard not to conclude millennial men managed to barely clear a very low bar that everyone else is tripping over

I have no idea if it'll be reflected in the January BLS release, but the fact that the Trump administration has stripped collective bargaining rights from 1 in 14 American union members doesn't bode well for union density.

i've come around: gerry adams needs to be told, just so we can have a gerry adams react video to reading the ACOTAR books

Seeing a TikTok unpacking all the ways Sarah J Maas books are allegedly anti Irish really does hammer home that some people really want an excuse to be mad

my dog has his own react emoji in the shelter volunteer slack and I am absolutely delighted by this

The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/b...

good piece have seen vanishingly few people commenting on the scale of the risk to public pensions if the AI bubble bursts

what’s the likelihood Trump gets the idea of power washing the Statue of Liberty and spray painting it gold

i've changed my mind, i really hope Fetterman runs for re-election just because it'd be more fun to watch him go down in flames in the primary

MAGA: Trump is going to strip Mamdani of his citizenship! Trump: I’d like to see Mamdani strip

After that meeting, I'm never playing poker against Zohran Mamdani.

oh sure but it's the left inciting violence

Pennsylvania’s racking up union Ws this week

i didn't have "incontrovertible proof hitler had a tiny dingdong" on my news list today or any day but honestly i gratefully accept this gift

dear republicans I’m not gonna defend elected democrats over a late parking ticket let alone human trafficking who cares if they’re on the list lmao

“if” they betray everyone Democrats signed this deal knowing full well they won’t get the votes to extend ACA subsidies. Let’s not play this game.

the most utterly galling and infuriating part of this is that somehow, John fucking Fetterman looks like one of the only honest people in the Democratic caucus

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

one of the most stunning things about the past twelve months is that to some Democrats, nothing is more disloyal than demanding that they fight fascism harder

Absolutely correct

honestly never would've expected this to be indivisible's trajectory

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

it's funny how people can't conceive of doing politics through anything but individual fandom of politicians, as though me supporting Sanders means i didn't knock doors for Biden and Harris in PA

sorry, do individual senators control their own committee assignments, leadership positions, and DSCC fundraising no?

union reps and union organizers are notoriously never faced with difficult decisions about harm reduction

apparently it's a win to get Republicans to fund SNAP at present levels for the fiscal year, which was never in question from the start given that they already passed SNAP cuts kicking in the following fiscal year.
