Trump praised Zohran Mamdani as good for NYC before Chuck Schumer did. Think about that.

We need to support working-class kids before the 21st century abandons them completely.

A father and his one-year-old daughter were pepper sprayed by US ICE agents in Chicago while on their way to go grocery shopping.

Good!! We covered this story in August with a fantastic sketch at the end featuring Edi Patterson (Judy Gemstone) & Bobby Moynihan (SNL) ##chuckschumerhastogo www.youtube.com/watch?v=dijM...

I mean, what can we do here? Protest at their houses? Pull a Thunberg in front of the capitol? Genuinely curious

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Zohran Mamdani's promise to lower chicken-over-rice prices and reform vending permits has inspired a wave of grassroots organizing among the city's 23,000 street vendors. documentedny.com/2025/11/04/h...

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

The 24 corporations funding Trump's ballroom have received $279 billion in government contracts in the past 5 years. Most of them are facing federal enforcement actions. These are not random donations. It's a clear as day effort to kiss up to the Trump admin.

THIS! 1000%

For 17 years I have relied on SNAP benefits. I'm on Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid & live w/chronic illness & disabilities, 2x cancer survivor & Lupus. SNAP is ESSENTIAL for my nutrition. Me & 42M are experiencing a President who does NOT care if 1/8 of ALL Americans STARVE to death!

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

New Yorkers: please vote!!!! Cuomo went all-in on racism in the final 2 weeks because he's got nothing else. And as we've seen, that's a very effective motivator.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment. The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult. It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history. Until then, they're all to blame.

What a king thing to do

“The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love & support She loved animals & she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her”

Worth a read. Wow 🤯

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

This week’s main story is about Benjamin Netanyahu, his time in and out of power in Israel, the extreme voices he’s allied with in his country, and one nifty trick to get John Oliver to do whatever you say. You have to watch the show to find out what it is, but yes, of course it involves horses.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

MLK: "First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate...the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice"

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Oh good, another letter of grave concerns to a man who hates reading.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated $70 million to the UNCF, the largest private provider of scholarships to minority students.

Here’s last night’s story about Jimmy Kimmel, the FCC, freedom of speech in the U.S., and why certain broadcast groups could learn a thing or two from Love Island. youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g

A bully kept taking my hat as a kid. I told the teacher as some told me to do. That didn’t work. The bully came to take my hat again. That was the only time I had to use taekwondo. As John Oliver said, that was my “F*** you, make me” moment. The bully didn’t bother me again. #LastWeekTonight

John Oliver used the main segment of his HBO show Sunday night addressing the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

Disney has lost an estimated $3.87 billion in value since censoring Jimmy Kimmel. Keep crashing their cancellation pages! We have the real power.

They are NOT the majority. They have billionaires who own mainstream and social media, most of the Supreme Court and half of Congress. Yet, they are NOT the majority. This is why they’re always trying to take away your votes. Because they are NOT the majority. They never will be.

I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

👀

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

"What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, O let them be left, wildness and wet; Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."

Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

i've decided to run for mayor of new york city. i hate this city, i hate being in it, i think everyone in it is stupid except for me, when people have fun here it makes me mad, i don't know why i'm running, i don't want to be mayor, and i have $4. see you at the polls

World War 2 & Vietnam War lasted a combined 27 years, or just shy of 10,000 days. In that time, a total of 132 journalists were killed. Israel has sieged Gaza for just under 700 days & killed 242+ journalists. This violates Art 79 of Add’l Protocol (I) of Geneva Conventions. These Are War Crimes.

The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.

“Beyond meekly railing against Trump, Schumer is devoid of message and strategy… he is a profound liability.” If only they had listened. jacobin.com/2020/11/chuc...

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

@cortezmasto.senate.gov & @senjackyrosen.govpeeps.us, do you regret voting with Republicans to spike the highly qualified judicial nominee Judge Mangi, a Muslim American nominated by Biden who was subjected to a racist smear campaign? Let us all know, please. This is why we have Emil Bove.

When I suggested Democrats hold daily press conferences to share stories of Republican pedophiles, I meant they could bring up all the old stories. I didn’t think that we’d get new stories about a GOP pedophile every day, but whatever works I guess

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.” I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion. Part I
