Dissent is a threat deserving death. That's the story.

It's "swim down" time, folks. This only works if we all do it together. We can.

9 years ago, Peter Mansbridge was taken aback in a CBC News interview when Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Khalifa of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, warned of Trump's actions causing a civil war in America.

The US is in the early stages of a civil war.

So, when are we going to talk about the self-help books to right wing politics pipeline?

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

Vince Staples sparking the revolution in a ziwe interview is an amazing end to 2025.

I think the ”super radical” takes that Mamdani is a counter revolutionary phenomenon are extremely tired arm chair shit Also he is gonna be Mayor of NYC so anyone who was expecting him to lead the revolution either works for the NY Post or doesn’t understand the system or both

Volunteered to pack some whistles tonight. Planning to distribute a bunch of these to my local mini libraries.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Can't stop thinking about the fact that the government is literally slashing public service jobs while bringing in AI for use in the public service. They are literally doing, as a government, what we scream at tech bros for doing to their employees. Pretty gross!

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

Lmao

Yes sir, the work now just begun.

MAYOR MAMDANI!!!!!

Al-hamdulillah!! A start of a revolution!

THIS is how you run political campaign. On the ground, with the people. Not getting millions from capitalists while you sit far above the people in your luxury home.

Any self respecting, politically aware human would know that whoever Trump and Musk are supporting is definitely not the right choice.

1. ​The NYPD spends $11 BILLION annually in total public funds. 2.​ To make EVERY bus ride FREE for every resident would only cost $708 MILLION. 3. ​The additional cost for UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE for every child in the city would be less than $2 BILLION. So yes, I'm certain he can deliver.

This a why a true leader looks like. A servant of the people, not a power abusing tyrant.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

Fourteen years later, I *still* think one of the best ways for us to repudiate Cheney's legacy of torture would be to recognize and honor the courageous soldiers and public servants who exposed the torture policies and tried to end them. www.nytimes.com/2011/04/28/o...

Locked in with @arimelber.bsky.social.

This man has single handedly revived the political spirit of hundreds and thousands, not just in the US but acorss the world. May the Mamdani wave come for us all, inshaAllah!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future. Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

DO NOT FUMBLE THIS NYC. Vote for your saviour, not the rapist!

Well have you? If not, here's where: zohranfornyc.com/vote

Opinion polls show that Democrat Zohran Mamdani holds a clear lead over independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa as voting in the NYC mayoral election gets underway. 🟠 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/397phk

Robots are people but people are not people.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

On Election Day, the president announces that he will defy a court order so as to deprive millions of Americans of food.

The choice is clear as day: Trump and Musk for Cuomo vs. our campaign for change.

Yesterday, Ari Melber asked Zohran Mamdani why he was a socialist, and he answered "because I believe in the dignity of all human beings." It's time to stop being afraid of being called socialists. Yes, this is a subtweet of Third Way and Matty you know who.

Fascism Is Here. How Do We Fight Back? The Democratic leadership needs fighters willing to embrace an economic populist message that takes on the billionaires and Donald Trump's fascist march. The masses can rise up and demand that change. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

"how much could a microwave oven really cost to run michael"

Ok but hear me out, what if we taxed the fuck out of really rich people

I am literally begging anyone who does any kind of journalism to spend an hour in an eviction courtroom every week for a month. Please. The eviction crisis in this country is downplayed at best and ignored at worst. It's racialized state violence that hearkens back to the worst of Jim Crow,

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

"the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community will spend the morning before their 75th annual convention cleaning headstones & clearing brush from graves in East End Cemetery that have received little care or funding, in stark contrast to the well-maintained section where white Americans were historically buried"

Historians of tech: I want to assign a reading in my intro World History since 1500 course on the Luddites. What sorts of primary/secondary sources do you recommend?

I know I'm largely preaching to the choir, but this is why the humanities prioritizes teaching transferable skills (not merely those tied to the most recent fad) -- www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/t...

I've been spreading the word about @mayhemmarketplace.bsky.social as often as I can. They're blue, budget friendly for sellers, easy to use, no BS, and while they're an excellent alternative for not only Etsy but FB Marketplace as well, they're also so much more 🥰🙌! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8hk7em2/

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

York University Faculty Association (YUFA) Statement on the Resignation of York University President Rhonda Lenton - June 26, 2025 [alt continued in next skeet]

The *opening line* sets a troubling trajectory. Trained historians ought to know the difference b/t assertion & demonstration. “This committee recognizes that generative AI tools offer significant opportunities to improve teaching and student learning.” Really? Says who? Backed by what evidence?
