The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The stonewalling over the Epstein files isn’t protection — it’s quicksand. The longer Trump’s team drags this out, the deeper his presidency sinks.

"I feel much more connected to my students after having engaged with them on this book and reading their journals...I have not felt this energy in a classroom since 2022." I love this so much 🥹

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...

maybe JD Vance has never taken ibuprofen, assuming that pounding in his skull is just the normal consequence of attempting a thought at all

It’s starting to feel like the walls are closing in on the White House. When Trump screams ‘hoax,’ history tells us the truth is closing in. Now, with leaked Epstein emails and Republicans telling me they're breaking ranks, even his own party knows — they have to vote to release the Epstein Files.

standards at big news outlets is a problem & leads to so much red tape and fear and is a big part of why our media is so fucked and toothless and cowardly bari weiss sucks and yes you need lawyers and quality control and smart journalists and editors but there is too much red tape @ corporate media

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

After losing all my brand deals over my “extreme” political views lol (I’m against genocide) brands are reaching out again. For anyone else who is dealing with organized harassment, deplatforming attempts, etc just keep building your audience and stay strong 🤝

This is bad. Sarah Kendzior is one of the scholars that most understands authoritarianism and our current moment in the US.

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not. They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today. They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

The days of thanking veterans today and forgetting them tomorrow has to come to an end.

The central question in American politics is simple. Do you stand with forgotten Americans or the Epstein class? That's it.

she's sharing all sorts of NYT receipts on IG, highly recommend taking a look: www.instagram.com/msrachelforl...

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

lol she got his ass and he knows it

What Republican insiders are really saying about the election results: We need Daddy Musk.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

I remember yesterday when you refused to endorse him.

my only complaint is that NYC could only elect one mayor

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.
