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.

It's @alexschmidty.bsky.social week, apparently. I've been bingeing SIF bonus eps after subscribing this week. Took a break for the Doggzzone and damned if he isn't the guest. Then I pull up Daily Zeitgeist and this motherfucker is there too! Great week for us Schmidt Heads.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

"What stood out were the words of power, of the willingness to fight, of revolution." @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social on Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech, filled with the "inspiring hope-and-change flavor of Obama, but it was all gripped in a fist."

gotta say this whole business about ‘electing a muslim mayor is basically pissing on the graves of 9/11 victims’ is just…just shockingly racist stuff i mean what else is there to say about it

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

The public-facing side of American conservative politics more or less amounts to crashing out constantly about a bunch of shit that either you or the weird liars you listen to uncritically have made up. The non-public part, from what we've seen of the chat logs and such, is somehow much worse.

can someone make a supercut of johnson saying he doesn't know anything

📽️ WATCH: The U.S. government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trump’s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers. ➡️ Full story: propub.li/3LjuAVS

this has to be coupled with the things that *don’t* count as a scandal: an array of harassment allegations, covering up Covid deaths, staying in a race after losing the primary, etc.

"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"

. @alexschmidty.bsky.social @katiegoldin.bsky.social Having carved at least one jack-o-lantern out of a turnip in my youth (pumpkins were pretty much unknown in Britain in the 80's), I can confirm that they're the absolute worst. If anything, you were too kind.

Even his MISTAKE is wrong. The reason we all had chickenpox as kids was that our parents made sure of it because if you get it as an adult, it’s dangerous. Even if you had it as a kid, it can lead to shingles when you’re older. If you had a compromised immune system as a kid you were also not fine.

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

It was always performative. Conservatives didn't ever love us vets, they just loved how good it looked to pretend like they did. They gleefully fire hard-working vets who took lower pay to continue to serve the government. They do nothing when vets are assaulted by power-tripping cowardly ICE dorks.

“Republican lawmakers contacted by the Guardian declined to comment or did not respond to the Guardian’s inquiries.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

It’s the largest protest in American history and you should unsubscribe if your newspaper leaves it off their front page

For sure some of the legacy media outlets are downplaying the protests because they’re aligned with Trump, but I think an even bigger factor is how many elite journalists have a patrician disdain for the idea that politics can happen in the streets and not just the CNN green room.

This is one of the *small* protests in Delco, Pa. (Havertown) - hundreds already out here, amid a cacophony of honking horns

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

I quickly ducked into a hotel to get these shots and I’m so glad I did. It’s so hard to get a sense of how big the crowd is when you’re on the ground.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

my little community (Beacon NY) brought out hundreds of people for NO KINGS 👍👍
