Trump’s threats of executions are extreme, but remember: Trump’s injustice department has been unable to make a convincing case against a single political opponent and was even unable to indicate a ham sandwich in DC. So while it’s disturbing it’s more old man screams at cloud than new normal.

Media: A few days ago Mamdani, you said Trump is a fascist. You said it again yesterday. Do you still believe that today? You say yes again? Ok how about now? What about now a minute later? You sure? What about right now?

In America, companies have no fear terminating a safety technician pointing out issues of how dangerous their products are. This sadly is an all too common state of our country.

Oh look, NYC hasn’t fallen.

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

To be fair, Mamdani is a very likable guy.

Far right attacks on Wicked are hilarious. Both in how unimportant the movies are but also, Wicked at the end of the day tries to whitewash a character who commits war crimes and enslaves people while the original books had of queer and trans characters with a very progressive vibe.

So gross. A reminder to always read before you sign! www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/20/b...

People think em dashes are AI fluff, but the truth is professional writers use em dashes all the time — myself included. Don’t assume something is an LLM constructed slop just because it has a few em dashes.

The headlines a little odd but it’s about how colleges are waiving fees and are accepting a larger percentage of applicants as the youth population declines. This is a good thing. Higher ed shouldn’t be a gated palace but a place of learning for all.

I’m sorry but this seems bad

Shocking. Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick indicted on theft of federal disaster relief funds. Such corruption is insane. Thankfully voters have an alternative option with that race with Elijah Manley.

Hundreds of Americans lost their jobs or faced discipline at work for making comments about Charlie Kirk after his death in September, new reporting from Reuters finds, as the Trump administration whipped up a frenzied crackdown against Kirk’s critics. This is likely a vast undercount.

While it was fun to watch James Comey get screwed by the guy he helped elect, I think the fun is over. Looks like the DOJ messed up their show trial too much. Doubt it will even even make it to trial.

How do we know our leaders have gotten too old? Well in Florida, lawmakers created even more mandates on students to learn cursive. A form of writing that has long fallen out of day to day use.

Who DSA backs to challenge Hakeem Jeffries or if they back one is for DSA, not Zohran Mamdani, to decide. I very much have supported Mamdani, but DSA must make its own choices. I don’t always agree but it’s a mass member organization and will make its own decisions.

Larry Summers helped destroy working class Americans lives during the Great Recession while enriching bankers. He is an elitist in the worst sense. The fact he still is a member of Harvard’s faculty shows how low that institution has fallen. He has no place in Democratic politics.

Miami New Times compiled Miami area reactions to the Miami Beach Mayor’s Time Square ad to attract New Yorkers: “It’s giving, desperation…” “Truly ridiculous.” “This is embarrassing.” “Immense loser energy.”

While U.S. Senators and brunch liberals love Ezra Klein, the rest of us are sick and tired of the Democratic establishment trying to do anything and everything but making the material conditions of Americans better. Don’t fall for distractions, stay focused people. Klein is just distracting fluff.

First AI chatbots were accused of encouraging teenagers to commit suicide, now an AI powered teddy bear was found to discuss sexual kinks with children. These companies are breaking serious laws and yet their leaders face no jail time. What has become of us?

Miami Beach mayor who survived reelection by the skin of his teeth, buys ad telling NYC to move here. While he claims the city is open for business, he wouldn’t have to buy such ads if he hadn’t devastated Miami Beach’s spring break business and scared artists away with his free speech attacks.

Oh look, media finally noticed Rockstar’s GTA 6’s delay was announced a week after a major sacking of staff for union organizing. The U.S. company that owns Rockstar really messed up. Britain is a mess but it still has real worker rights laws. Good luck 🤣

The thing about GOP redistricting is most red states are already heavily gerrymandered. Add to that how there will likely be a 10 point swing from red to blue in 2026 vs 2024, and they are more likely to weaken red seats than gain anything. Congressional Republicans are fucked.

Nothing makes something cool like adults telling kids not to do it. DeSantis is practically handing kids DSA membership cards 🤣

The long held disfunction of Israel’s Knesset comes down to the refusal to form coalition governments with Arab parties. This excludes an entire population from having a say in their government while encouraging the formation of extreme far right coalitions that dehumanize ethnic Palestinians.

Florida Republicans are so scared of a socialist electoral revolution in the state that they will force teachers to preach against it. I’m flattered. While DSA and other leftist groups are building a base in Florida, I didn’t think we were as close to changing the state as the GOP claims.

I find it incredibly sad that James Van Der Beek is auctioning off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia to pay for cancer treatment. This is why we need universal healthcare. What happens to those who have nothing of value to sell? They die, go bankrupt, or both. Healthcare is a basic human right.

At the start of 2025, my significant other and I started looking into if we could buy a house. I soon realized it didn’t matter if we could or not, prices were too high and if we bought, the mortgage would soon be underwater. Sadly not only was I right but many new homeowners are dealing with this.

Oh look polling from EMILY’s list claiming Platner can’t beat Susan Collins. Not only is EMILY’s list backing his 77 year old opponent, this is the same group that recruited Martha Coakley to run for governor of Massachusetts (and lose) after she was defeated by Scott Brown for US Senate.

Florida Republicans can be so boneheaded. They want to ban “political” flags. A nation state’s flag is an inherently political document. You are banning the American flag, along with flags supporting government workers such as the Blue Lives Matter flags.

Think, I remember when Jack Schlossberg was just a messing shirtless 20 something on TikTok — which is still more put together than most of Congress.

In history you didn’t want to know but do now:

Daily Beast does the rare thing for a news outlet and uses the term thug appropriately:

“Private equity is using its newfound control over utilities to socialize costs for the expansion of data centers,” said one critic.

Trump is many terrible things, but he doesn’t normally go for complicated policies. This is just unnecessary hassle that smells like the weird neocon 90s policies of Tony Blair/Bill Clinton/W Bush. The insurers get the money at the end of the day, why add an extra step for people?

Bernie Sanders calls the promised vote on ACA - the main concession won by Senate Democrats who voted to end the shutdown - "an empty gesture"

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

Target message to its low wage employers: Smile or the beatings shall continue.

It’s almost as if Schumer planned this.

A 50 year mortgage sounds absurd, but since the industry is so against it, it gives me pause that perhaps it should be researched.

Supreme Court declined to hear ex-Kentucky clerk Kim Davis’s appeal over a $360k fee, leaving intact rulings holding her liable for denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples and keeping same-sex marriage legal.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Blue MAGA

Schumer said the Dems will "keep fighting". Keep fighting their own voters? Keep fighting off effectiveness? Keep fighting being held accountable for anything? As far as I can tell the Democratic leadership is good at one thing only now, which is sending fundraising messages to my phone.

We have had enough winning. by Senate Democrats

New Democratic Party logo just dropped

Fake News … This was an organized betrayal.

Democrats snuffed out all the hope the voters expressed last Tuesday in less than a week.

Mutual aid saved Gabrielle Souza's life. Now, as the leader of The Okra Project, she fights for a future where every Black and brown trans person is seen, supported, and able to thrive.

Democrats fought harder to stop Mamdani in 2025 and Bernie in 2016 than they fought for your health care.
