A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene The party can burn in hell

Law enforcement physically attacked 72 journalists covering immigration in LA this year—more than double the city’s 2020 BLM protest total, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/indy...

in the last 5 days these laid-off VIBE staffers have only made it to 31% of their GoFundMe goal after being laid off. please show them the same support you showed Teen Vogue!!

Wake up babe, new hot priest just dropped

Deportations actually _increase_ housing prices because they shrink the construction industry. The reduction in new houses being built swamps effects from lower demand

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing. We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

"We’re done waiting for Dems to find their spine. We can’t afford a weak & cowardly Democratic Party while the authoritarians invade our cities, terrorize our communities, & threaten our democracy. We get the party we demand, & we intend to demand a Democratic Party that fights.” — @indivisible.org

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

This right here.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”? Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

🚨 MUTUAL AID REQUEST 🚨 A good friend on the West Coast has been going through some health issues and needs rent assistance this upcoming month. If you can spare a few bucks, it would help out a whole lot. (I personally vouch for this fundraiser and would really appreciate a boost.)

🚨 In violation of the ceasefire agreement Israel decided not to open Rafah crossing tomorrow and to limit humanitarian supplies to Gaza

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

So here's the thing Bluesky..... for a site that swears up and down it's better than Twitter, you're falling into the same bullshit as Twitter.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...

Israel's massacre of Palestinian journalists has been unconscionable. And the silence of western journalists has been an utter abomination to our profession. And to humanity. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...

Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...

Gonna try this again with a bit less anger, lol. It is disappointing to see a major media outlet reproducing police statements about what happened on Friday without doing a shred of due diligence to verify those claims. The 2 people transported were not “pretending to be media,” they *were* media

The five brave Palestinian journalists whom Israel targeted and killed today (left-right): -Anas al-Sharif (correspondent) -Mohammed Qreiqeh (correspondent) -Ibrahim Zaher (camera operator) -Muhammad Al-Khalidi (photojournalist) -Mohammed Noufal (camera operator) -Moamen Aliwa (camera operator)

You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?

No actually. People should see these pictures. No fucking cops or corpos at pride. Ever.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif. He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza. Speechless.

For those not in California, Newsom has been sabotaging rooftop solar on behalf of our privatized utilities, vetoed Caltrans complete streets, keeps trying to cut transit funding, and tried to us a budget surplus to give a fucking diesel rebate. calmatters.org/economy/2025...

Several agents grabbed a 54-year-old mom who said she couldn't breathe and had a heart attack while forcibly held. She has lived in the valley for 29 years and has sold tamales for 22 years, with a legal vendor's permit for the current tamale truck. #ICE #CBP sanfernandosun.com/2025/06/25/p...

Genocide, BBC. It means genocide.

LAPD has made their presence known on the street, total traffic jam outside the MDC. Still over a hundred here facing off against two dozen DHS officers—this is a right old noise demo. DHS looks pretty uncomfortable. Gonna keep my eyes up and focus here will update when able
