Really looking forward to this! It turns out learning the arcane ins and outs of NYC government and the budget are WAY more interesting when you have a mayor who enables you to believe there can actually be meaningful change!! Join us at CUNY Law on Wednesday! Details & Registration 👇

my immune system imposing a real limit on what I can do is so fucking annoying. why can’t it understand that it’s not my fault that the slim chance to be an academic and the most important moment of socialist possibility in my lifetime happened at the same time?!

The way this headline is written, you would think Matt Gaetz was Israel

really hoping this just shuts Larry Summers the fuck up for a good long while.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle. Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger. Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires

NY Attorney General Letitia James joined a Condé Nast union rally, protesting recent firings that followed a staff confrontation with HR.

Medicare's hospice benefit "was designed not to maintain a healthy market for hospice, but to disentangle hospice from market logic. To achieve this, we need to do more than merely stabilize the hospice industry through greater competition—we need to create spaces where care remains uncommodified."

PE in Biglaw is happening. www.ft.com/content/3a9d.... Some of my concerns are noted here, lawreview.law.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/file...

Girls may be bad at math, but it appears that you, Mr. Summers, are the one who miscalculated *creepo “do not repeat this insight” is not legally binding

all work and no play not only makes me dull, it apparently also makes me sick 😭

supposed to go to Boston bright and early in the morning, hard to believe from here that is actually going to happen. my own personal hell week.

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

never gonna not be my last powerpoint slide

I guess you can quantify the massive disconnect between party leaders and the party base they loathe

"Part of the reason Democratic politicians don’t fight is that most union leaders don’t fight either — at least not in a way that meets the urgency of this authoritarian and oligarchic moment." jacobin.com/2025/11/demo...

you guys, there are flurries in Brooklyn.

Out today in HLR, my piece Skrmetti Beyond Scrutiny. What happened, what it means for trans rights and sex equality more broadly: harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

SEATTLE!!! We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

I feel like I might be getting sick during a week of THREE deadlines. who could have thought working for the last month without a single day off would have negative repercussions?! please send good thoughts and white blood cells 😭😭

So far only 3 NYC Council Members are on record supporting our 0.5% demand for public libraries. That's pathetic. nycplan.org/scorecards/l... - If you don't see your Council member on the list, then you should be giving them a call this week.

Does suddenly having a real progressive mayor make you wish you knew a little more about how city gov actually works?? You're in luck! Join us Nov 19th as we talk to @sandynurse.bsky.social & @ngusdorf.bsky.social abt the levers of local power!!! lpeproject.org/events/local...

So you’re saying I can have one marshmallow right now? -Eight Senate Democrats

cant believe he thinks this gives him cover!!! he thinks we wouldn’t notice that the 8 who caved *under his leadership* were retiring or not up for reelection this cycle?! primarying Schumer is what Brad Lander should be doing not entering a race with a DSA candidate already in it

Everyone is saying it. Literally everyone

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Guaranteeing a vote on extending the tax credits is not guaranteeing the tax credits. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Did Tuesday night even happen?

rand paul is currently being a pain in the ass (laudatory) www.politico.com/live-updates...

oh man, so many things I needed to do tonight but been totally distracted by hating the Democratic party with every fiber of my being…

Apparently, it is negotiable!

Looks great! (Too bad for to be in NYC this week, but not next.) But I thought we learned today that this is now the way to promote things?

THAT IS ALREADY A LAW. TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT WHO SIGNED THAT LAW. YOU ARE A FUCKING NEWS REPORTER

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

BREAKING: BERNIE SANDERS: “If this resolution passes tonight, we are on our way to throwing 15 million Americans off of Medicaid and the affordable care act.”

BROOKLYN WE ARE GOING TO CHUCKS! Join us across from 9 PPW at 8:30 *tonight* Bring pots and pans, let’s make some noise about Chuck folding (again). Not another #SchumerSurrender @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

Every fucking time there is a glimmer of hope that Democrats aren't the stupidest pack of lemmings ever to hold office, this hope is immediately dashed by Democrats being the stupidest pack of lemmings ever to hold office.

so disgusted and demoralized. whether it’s because they were cowards or because they didn’t truly oppose what the GOP is doing, the consequences are going to be absolutely devastating.

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

if everyone who is angry is dismissed as hopelessly naive, what the fuck are we even doing?

I mean Trump is being vilified over the SNAP thing, people are starting to find out what healthcare costs will skyrocket to, and the Dems just overwhelming won last Tuesday on affordability, if they can’t hold the line here there is legitimately no lone they could hold

If they cave, this will literally all have been their fault It is so unbelievably self-defeating even for them

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

seriously, how are they SO FUCKING BAD AT THIS?!?

more and more people are saying...

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.
