1,500 free tickets to theatre, too, w a bold claim “affordability” doesn’t mean survival but being able to enjoy culture, rest & fun. Naysayers said he couldn’t get universal childcare past Albany. In a week, he got Governor Hochul to not just support his idea for NYC—but to EXPAND IT STATEWIDE

If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries. Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots. Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

One of the many, many ways people are fighting ICE in Minneapolis is helping neighbors safely shelter at home during a time when abductions are genuinely rampant. People in Minneapolis are doing *so much* great work

ICE recruitment is going well.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

Cop “unions” are a repulsive stain on the American labor movement, and it’s truly an embarrassment that so few labor leaders are willing to admit that. www.teenvogue.com/story/what-t...

A short treatise on protest language: "ICE can go to hell." Weak, passive, deferential to the Judeo-Christian god "ICE will go to hell." Assertive, indignant, acknowledges man's role in justice Furthermore, Minnesota is Canada.

Newsom's already calling for a joining of hands with the Nazis and let atrocities be bygones.

Why would you want to vote for newsome in this case? There absolutely has to be accountability for this administration, anything less than massive amounts of prison time & clawing back every bit of unlawful abuse of power would be a complete waste of time. What good is a band-aid on a stab wound?

The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X. And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.

Thinking about this once again

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

PINCH HITTING (ing) FOR PEDRO BORBON (bon) … MANNY (ny) … MOTA (ta)

Pedocon theory on a longer dynasty run than the 1990s Chicago Bulls

My scheming vizier when I start to cough after taking a swig of wine from my goblet

do you guys hear that bell tolling? wonder who it’s for. it’s so loud lmao

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

i'm not saying this as anyone who knows anything about health; i'm saying it as someone who is an alleged expert in interest group politics: the American beef industry is all over MAHA, wellness, and podcast spaces. remember "bacon mania?" totally a marketing strategy by the pork industry.

Understand: these incidents are not an example of a failure of training, they are an example of a successful understanding of the true mission of ICE. ICE knows full well that it's the new SS, and that it exists to terrorize and abuse citizens into silent compliance. No training can fix this.

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

A 2nd notable business closure in Ohio, following the Pixelle Chillicothe plant closure announced last year. 150 Ohio union workers losing their jobs bc of corporate greed. Also not lost in this is the fact that Lake county (along with Ross county) voted heavily for Trump in 2024.

The thumb on the scale among Ohio govt leadership is so corrupt. Attempts to consolidate wealth among the already wealthy don’t create jobs or help the working class. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/09/o... @martyschladen.bsky.social @ohiocapitaljournal.com

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

wait watch this one instead its way better

Labor unions are calling for an end to violent ICE operations wreaking havoc in American cities. Join us in raising our voices in collective opposition. Link below.

Remember in the summer of 2024 when Dems started calling Trump/Vance/et al "weird" and it resonated with millions of people (because it's true) and then they stopped? Seeing a similar shift now. But angrier. Good. Take off the fucking gloves.

I’m outside of the Canopy by Hilton hotel, where protesters have gathered for a noise demonstration after learning DHS agents may be staying here.

The MAGA regime is currently doubling down on its tactical stance of “we will kill women like dogs for merely displeasing us.”

Timeline cleanse: Mamdani governing like Fred Rogers (compliment). Notice it’s two of the people in American public life who risked the most to support Palestine who are out here exemplifying kindness and joy and love with kids more than just about any other American politician ever could.

This’ll be the prevailing energy for Woke 2.0

This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

“The federal government should not have a national police force to harass state residents” is an argument that would be both legible to and enthusiastically supported by every member of the founding generation

Few things embody the imbalance in US politics and media better than the juxtaposition of the killing of a famous right-wing bigot prompting prominent 'liberal' politicians and outlets to preemptively eulogize, and the killing of a regular decent person prompting conservatives to gloat.

jonathan ross “feared for his life” yet calmly filmed the entire interaction & never set his phone down, even when murdering renee good

enjoy your deathtrap, ladies!

Renee Good's fundraiser for her surviving family has well reached its goal within the hour. Good. If you still want to help out, look towards Black folks' mutual aid requests. Some of these have scarcely moved in weeks or months.

“make big tech afraid” has to be just as much of a priority as “prosecute the criminals of the previous regime” for the next Dem admin the tech fascists are way too far out over their skis and what remains of global stability will not survive that state of affairs continuing

“YOU HAVE NO HONOR” screams the guy that took a 50k dollar bonus to fill child abduction quotas.

No help for Nazis. Nothing. Wouldn’t give one even a sip of water. Love the guy who says “YOU THINK WE’RE MEAN NOW, AFTER YOU KILLED RENEE?”

So I was compiling a list of the longest punts of the year and I ran across a 94 yard punt by Josh Castro of Worcester Polytechnic Institute aka WPI. Yes, I have video.
