It’s clear we need new leadership that will actually fight for us. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Chuck Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/dem-sen...

The code is not complicated. Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/17/i...

Pre-order a copy for your household every time there’s a friendly between now and the World Cup next summer. The next friendly is Tuesday night, the U.S. vs Uruguay. Those are the rules.* Hey, we didn’t make ‘em! *FIFA receives no commission on any sale of this book.

This but, you know, minus one day

Had the same thought.

Hey, friends in NYC! Come hang out with a buncha cool comics creators and fold zines and make posters to push back against ICE! A @handsoffnyc.bsky.social and @bkindivisible.bsky.social event at @anyonecomics.bsky.social in Brooklyn! It's gonna be a blast! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

Happy 80th birthday to Neil Young, an Olympian figure and the subject of some of the funniest quotes in BACKBEATS thanks to his tempestuous relationship with Kenny Buttrey. “Neil hires some of the best musicians in the world and has 'em play as stupid as they possibly can.”

A good night at Books Are Magic among treasured friends — that is how you launch a book. Thank you all who made it out tonight!

This should be getting more attention. Please, spread the word, and participate if you can. cc: @bkindivisible.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social www.falloffreedom.com

What a dream review in the @bostonglobe.com by @katekilla.bsky.social! “Excellent, if often enraging” is about as accurate as it gets. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/12/a...

I’m sharing this as a “gift” article so that it’s not behind a paywall. “In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

This Saturday we're hosting a workshop to make posters and zines to push back on ICE in New York. RSVP to join me, Spencer Ackerman, Julio Anta, Joe Illidge, Fred Van Lente, Greg Pak, Wendy Xu, and Anyone Comics owner Dimitrios Fragiskatos this Saturday! www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

Excerpt ↓In his new book 'Backbeats,' John Lingan explores what made drummers like Watts so extraordinary. Excerpt ↓

BACKBEATS by John Lingan is an electrifying journey through the history of rock and roll, told through the lives of fifteen iconic drummers and their percussion rivals—from John Bonham and Charlie Watts to Ringo Starr and Questlove. Available 11/11! https://bit.ly/4mFvGYZ

Book events are good.

Enjoy yourself this evening, DC! No throwing sandwiches! Or, hey, do that, if you want, it’s your party.

BACKBEATS releases today! Like John himself, the book is great company wherever you may go. He covers huge breadths of music history, locates & brings forward the beats & the people behind the singers & the strings, & with deft, memorable writing; solid, quick & with flourishes. Like a drummer!

Veterans are showing up across the country today to take a stand against fascism right here in the USofA. Please get out there and support them if you can. www.vetssayno.org

Congratulations, always, to Sarah Weinman for doing the work, and being recognized for the work. “She focuses on the stories of the women behind key cases and crimes, allowing them the depth of hindsight, and the rich humanity that trials by their very nature flatten.”-Rachel Louise Snyder, NYTBR

Sarah’s WITHOUT CONSENT releases tomorrow. It’s about a man who did the worst things a human being can do, and a woman who tried to do her best. It’s about people who were largely not ready to be on stage in front of the world, or to make history, or create laws, but they did those things anyway.

Agreed!

Good morning, New York! Please, get out and vote, if you have not already!

A couple more hours to collect one of these, on this absolutely gorgeous Fall afternoon, Brooklyn. (And talking to you, too, New York City!) After that, polls are open from 6 am to 9 pm on Tuesday, 11/4. Vote for Zohran while you’re there. portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kan...

The @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Cost of Living Classic is underway in Coney Island, with @chrispolanco.com from @soccercooligans.com as the mc and guest happy warrior public servant @justinbrannan.bsky.social Still time to get down here and enjoy the gorgeous weather and easy going day, NYC.

Just some New Yorkers out for a stroll with their friends on a beautiful Fall Saturday. No Kings.

Teenagers, on scaffolding, leading a chant of “release the Epstein files” at today’s No Kings march in Manhattan. This was moving. It felt like people speaking up for their peers.

The eagle flies today, y’all. 🦅

Get outside with your neighbors tomorrow. Speak up. Enjoy yourselves. Be peaceful. Be numerous. Be visible. Be heard. Let everyone know that we can recover a democracy here in America.

Killing the Buddha is celebrating its 25th Anniversary, tomorrow, in Manhattan! Stroll on over after attending the No Kings March. Have a seat. Enjoy the readings and camaraderie! killingthebuddha.com

Hello, New York City! See you there!

NEW: November general elections are around the corner, so it’s time to launch my cheat sheet of what’s on the ballot this fall! I guide you thru the *185* elections I'm watching, & why: lawmakers, governors, judges, DAs, mayors, school boards, & dozens of ballot measures. Explore, share, save:

Are you represented by any of these City Council members? If yes, would you commit to meeting with them to talk about funding our local public libraries? If yes, please sign up and @nycplan.org will be in touch soon: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

not a single news org signed. that's what it takes. stand together. everywhere, every time.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Please don’t Vanderbilt, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, USC, MIT, University of Texas, University of Arizona, Brown, UVA. Don’t you have history departments? Don’t you teach science? If you’re an alum of these schools, call them, and tell them you want them to stand up for academic freedom

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Programming note: The next edition of our weekly chat has been moved to Friday. Our co-founders will answer your questions about the state of the Trump Shutdown, the upcoming No Kings Day mobilizations, and much more.

If you want to try and fathom Stephen Miller and the America he is attempting to create, reading Jean Guerrero’s ( @jeanguerre.bsky.social ) Hatemonger is the best way to do that. www.harpercollins.com/products/hat...

NYC! New zine just dropped! "Who is this Zohran Mamdani Guy Running for Mayor?" It's got important dates, what he plans to do as mayor, how he'll pay for it, why a little socialism is good for us: the regular people, etc! And of course you can print your own! drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Lutnick on Epstein: Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it? Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

Yom Kippur is a day of reflection, of forgiveness, of restoration. This year, may we all pray for a better, kinder, more peaceful future. Wishing all who observe across the five boroughs and the world a meaningful, easy fast. G’mar chatimah tovah.

Say No to this. Call your elected officials, national, state and local, and tell them you want them to stop this. You don’t need a complicated script. Speak from your heart. There should not be masked and unidentified law enforcement abusing and disappearing people. Fundamental universal rights.

If you live in Illinois, we need your help. This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.
