So are we going to talk about the Prowler theme being used in the Super Mario Galaxy Trailer?

A very good Wednesday morning thread. (Or Tuesday night I suppose)

I went to my first precinct caucus in 2015 and saw how poorly it was run and how much influence one person could have So that radicalized me

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!

Dealer: alright everyone ante up Chuck Schumer: I fold Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

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.

liberals: we can't really do anything unless we have a majority of 70% conservative: we snuck one guy through the air vents and long hair is illegal now

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Tim Kaine is a chump who believes Republican promises. Call him and yell at him if he's your senator. Phone numbers here: www.kaine.senate.gov/contact/offi...

YOU FIRED THE REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T WHITE DUDES!

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing. Here’s the point: ONE less person kidnapped by ICE. ONE more child vaccinated. ONE grant reinstated. ONE more PEPFAR treatment. ONE more meal to a hungry kid. ONE more person covered by Medicaid. One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.

Idk who needs to hear this, but the less Islamophobic cops in NY, the better. It's so telling where they want to transfer to. Good riddance to xenophobic rubbish. 👋

I admire his honesty in this case but I do not love it when the president's closest economic adviser fails to predict the massive negative impact of the administration's policy choices

“Shocks the conscience” is a legal term of art. In this case it’s a pretty good description of the typical reaction to these paramilitary goon squads. Shocking.

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

I have no words.

There are no words for how evil this is

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

i’ve been saying AIs main utility to capitalists is to allow them to bring back all the racism sexism ableism transphobia and every other bigotry under the sun we’ve managed to mitigate in the last century and go “computer did it 🤷‍♀️” when called out for it

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Nintendo, please. My phone storage.

AI is a lack of consent machine And this is just gross. This is disturbingly and utterly gross And the number of people who are basically facilitating digital sexual coercion is disgusting

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight led by an immigrant." - @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

We have friends everywhere

Forever and ever, amen

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Unironically buying an "I ❤️ NY" shirt

repeat that last line to yourself. this is enormously important. "no longer would politics would be something that is done to us. now it would be something that WE DO" ACTION. that WE DO. this is all real; this is all possible; this is all essential. let's DO THIS.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

Why is THIS the thing that made me tear up 😭😭😭

I think we are going to win. But anything's possible. So I just wanna say, with seven minutes before the polls close in NYC... ...win or lose, we are AHEAD and ready to KEEP FIGHTING because of this MASSIVE mobilization of neighbors who care about neighbors in NYC. ❤️💪🗽

Decision Desk HQ is the first to call a race, saying Abigail Spanberger wins. The anti-trans attacks seem to have failed in Virginia. Virginia was the ground zero after Youngkin won on a fledgeling anti-trans platform in 2021.

Please, PLEASE, I am begging you as both a parent and someone who is sick of all this THIS, go vote for your school boards. Even if you don't have kids, that's how these reactionary dipshits got their feet in, that's where the book bans and library cuts start.

Happy Election Day, Minneapolis! Grateful to continue the tradition of voting with my neighbors, this time with the littlest addition to our crew, Sabina. If you’re voting in person today, reply with your precinct/polling place, the time you voted, and what voter number you were!

they're saying Dick Cheney in his dying breath endorsed Andrew Cuomo for mayor

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

If (knock on wood) Dems sweep Tuesday’s elections handily, can we ease discourse away from its obsession over whether Dems are too left wing to win, and take greater notice of the fact that Republicans are in a civil war over whether to be Nazis or merely lesser fascists?
