"Schumer is absolutely useless. His instincts towards spineless politics are the exact opposite of what Democrats need in the second Trump era and it's long past time for him to be run out of his position as Minority Leader." @katelynburns.com #SpinelessSchumer www.burnsnotice.com/what-was-the...

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

After the 2016 election, I wrote this, about how Chuck Schumer was the worst possible Democratic leader at the worst possible time. He still is! theintercept.com/2016/11/14/c...

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

After Zohran’s win, if Dems reorient their party back to New Deal-style populism and genuinely combat the corporations and billionaires ruining everyone’s lives, then this moment of discontent across the country could have staying power — and be a positive force.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

DSA supports the mass mobilizations against Donald Trump. As socialists we must be clear: defeating Trump and his administration means defeating the whole capitalist, imperialist system. Join DSA to help build the movement for a better world.

NVIDIA and OpenAi: Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“ @bloomberg.com $NVDA 👀 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

The cash out is complete! Congratulations to all the people who made $30m

"We are asking the Department of War to deploy to our cities" should be a statement that ends any Governor's political career.

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

Here’s part 1 of our four-part Better Offline case against generative AI. I walk you through how generative AI is sold through a complete misunderstanding of the concept of labor - and myth-building by companies like NVIDIA and OpenAI. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15. I'm running for Governor to change that.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

so these tech saviors visiting from a first-world economy that has universal healthcare and gun control came to this lawless technological backwater where they wear shoes indoors to help set up thousands of local tech manufacturing jobs and said backwater CHAINED AND ARRESTED them

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.

As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

It’s time this city empowered small businesses—not bury them in fines, fees and endless bureaucracy. Here’s my plan.

we can sneak around town / hunting working folks down / I hear they got a great benefit plan join ICE boy ain’t it nice / join ICE take my advice www.tiktok.com/@jessewelles...

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Who did this

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

"Mamdani’s victory needn’t be a death knell for a winning Democratic party. It should be a death knell for an ossified Democratic establishment. And it should be a wake up call for non-socialist Democrats to show some of the audacity and the ability of Mamdani." www.thebulwark.com/p/wake-up-ca...

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

it turns out that embracing a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy is the best path towards peace in this chaotic world.

Sending thoughts and prayers tonight to Matt Yglesias, Jonathan Chait, Ritchie Torres, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and many more.

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

"A US federal judge has ruled that Trumps administration cannot deport or detain Columbia university student Mahmoud Khalil solely on the claim that he's a threat to US foreign policy"

Zohran is up. Keep going.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

I made a long video about the "someone's got to do it" memes, where they came from, what they're really saying, and what these posts reveal about collective trauma, political cynicism, our decaying faith in democratic institutions and so so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrj...

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.

just a really long sustained and, as it goes on, increasingly obviously sarcastic round of applause to every Democratic op who is still pushing the utterly failed "culture war stuff is just a distraction" narrative and using "woke" as a pejorative. Republicans are gross weirdos just keep saying it.

Prediction: the next couple of months will determine which US states are able to maintain their sovereignty, vs which state governments will be subsumed into national fascism It may be more complicated than red vs blue states 🧵
