Reflections on Veterans Day.

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

Philly folks and library folks:

People of all ages should know about this man [especially white people because some of you continue to pretend that people didn't know that enslaving Africans WAS WRONG at the time].

it's just really funny to be like "the guy passed over to be the democratic veep candidate is the future."

My latest: How the Trump Administration is giving even more tax breaks to wealthy and giant corporations: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

Oh WOW. I edited her book _Designing San Francisco_. She was great to work with. 😢

You really do have to be willing to be part of making the thing that you say other people must make or do. That's just basic at this point. [feel free to rage about this on your own timeline not in my mentions]

Because USAID was investigating Starlink. Never forget that part.

Southwest Side businesses are struggling amid the immigration blitz: "This is worse than COVID." blockclubchi.co/4nEQJLC

Musk is a mass murderer.

Democrats need to be campaigning against this type of pre-planned bailout argument. They're already laying the groundwork for the bubble we know is coming and a trillion-dollar plus government bailout.

The headlines from Chicago today are vile: '"Yo tengo papeles': Teacher detained by immigration agents in North Center day care" 1/ chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Day 10. This is an ongoing issue with our media, including @npr.org - they just put the wild claims of these liars in the headlines. Putting it in quotes doesn’t help. You’re giving credence to their nonsense when you put it in the headlines. Headline should be that they’re lying. Fail. 1/10

Major in Africana Studies or any humanities course like English Literature! You could be mayor of New York City. You could do anything.

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan is John Wick/Baba Yaga to Wall Street and billionaires

Not even 24 hours after the Democratic Party utterly sweeps Election Day, four Democratic Senators vote to confirm Caleb Orr as an Assistant Secretary of State. Voting yea were Chris Coons (DE), John Fetterman (PA), Maggie Hassan (NH), and Jeanne Shaheen (NH). Angus King (I-ME) also voted yea.

#OtD 5 Nov 1855 American socialist and labour leader Eugene Debs was born. He helped found both the American Railway Union and the @IWW, and was jailed in 1919 for his opposition to WWI. While in prison he ran for president, and received nearly 1m votes workingclasshistory.com/tag/iww

Media sneering about "anti-Trump" politics reflects a deeper inability to acknowledge that he's really unpopular. To some journos, "anti-Trump" codes as "delusional Resistance doesn't grasp Trump's mystical connection w/Real American People." h/t @jamellebouie.net newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

TURN THE VOLUME UP!

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

BRAAAAAAADD!!!! (college classmate) Let's go get a Senate seat!!

Mamdani: "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 that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

Please don’t forget the PA Supreme Court retention votes! Not a big election year in PA, yet the three Democratic Supreme Court justices have won their retention votes resoundingly.

Pope Leo is doing Catholicism the wrong way. by Ezra Klein

True justice would be if Klein, Yglesias, the Pod Bros, and all of the white dude pundits would take a 4 year sabbatical from commenting on politics.

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

YOU CAN SAY NOTHING SAYING NOTHING WAS RIGHT THERE

LOL. (No, really, I'm actually laughing.)

At least 26 billionaires donated to groups opposing Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist who is the Democratic New York City mayoral candidate.

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

LET'S GO

Job alert: the University of Illinois Library is hiring a Humanities Librarian to serve as liaison to African-American Studies and English Literatures. I’m sure someone here would be a great fit for this job—& we’ve got a pretty phenomenal community here Please share!

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

I’m old enough to remember when Dick Cheney engineered massive wars based on lies that killed & injured millions, displaced tens of millions, decimated some of the oldest cities on earth & created power vacuums that were filled by warlords & terrorists while his former company made billion$. Anyhow.

Pentagon boss Pete Hegseth has figured out that he doesn't need a “No Coloreds” sign to ban Black and brown soldiers from military events. He can just ban soldiers with beards.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Murphy Brown's daughter slaughtering Teen Vogue and calling it just another lifestyle choice

For once, New Yorkers get to vote for someone who loves this city and will fight for it as much as we do. Don’t fumble this y’all! VOTE @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

Teen Vogue political reporting was some of the best in recent years. I am sorry to learn that the magazine leadership is pivoting from this vital work.

This is the kind of coverage that Teen Vogue just decided to stop doing.

Christ, if only the Democrats in his head were real.
