I appreciate this reporting and this piece, but yeah, it is bad that “we tried talking to Black voters and that helped” has to be a persuasive piece on the left.

No one should EVER monitor Nazi space without a strong support network that can check them regularly and watch for signs that the propaganda is taking hold, and address that reality promptly. Without a rock solid accountability network, it is playing with fire.

this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this True with ANY cult space. People have no fricken idea and think they will be immune. You're not. You are fucking not.

i like that we know the ICE fitness standards now because now we all know exactly how fast we need to be able to run to be just slightly faster than any given ICE agent. a useable training goal

To me it says everything that Cuomo knows he won’t win, knows the ICE storm the city is in for once Mamdani does, and he’s willing to rip the social fabric of the city apart for rejecting his attempt at redemption.

The media is remarkably uncritical of statements like "the Pentagon will embrace a color- and gender-blind meritocracy." Even using "color-blind" in good faith implies ignoring existing racial discrimination. And this usage is manifestly not in good faith. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/oc...

"How do you expect to win back men...?" We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

I honestly believe that opposition to Me Too—or even willingness to mock it—is an indicator of personal moral rot and nascent conservatism. So far this has a 100% predictive accuracy.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution

most people don't want politics that hurt other people. we just want a long overcoat like david bowie and affordable housing

As predicted.

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them

Not to be THAT dictionary, but… It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’ It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’ It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’ It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’ It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Well treason, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

For the “aha, but will those protesters get involved in other organizing??” skeptics…Boston No Kings had a big row of booths providing info + sign-up sheets for a bunch of local activism and political organizations. I have seen similar at other 50501 events. (Which you’d know if you went to one..)

Sex work is a work, but only if the workers are not forced to do that. That is also true to any other work, but sex work is covered with moral considerations that are not said about any other.

A country’s “right to exist” is not a real thing

"2nd Amendment rights" are a myth. When a Black man can be shot just because somebody thinks he might be holding a gun, he clearly does not have the right to bear arms. What white men call their "rights" are just privileges written on antique paper.

France should not only pay back the Haitian reparation money, they should pay reparations to Haiti for kidnapping and forced labor.

It shouldn't be niche, but the moment private property was invented and land became owned by individuals and corporations, universal basic income became a human right, and every day since it has been unethical to not implement UBI.

Black teens? Try them as adults! Grown ass mostly white men? Just kids being kids!

OK guys, post your best signs from today for entry into my Top 15 No Kings Sign Contest.

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

You can easily block the official MAGA government accounts here. Do not engage them. Do not give them what they want.

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Here’s a block list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

We were on Twitter. We weren't sufficiently deferential to right-wingers, so they were sad. The right-wingers bought Twitter and made it such that everyone there has to listen to them. We left for Bluesky. The right-wingers followed us. We aren't sufficiently deferential to them, so they are sad.

You should block the MAGA government-created Bluesky accounts. Do not engage them. Do not give them a single scrap of what they want.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Remember our mantra: Don't Engage, Just Block.

If you're not planning to attend the NO KINGS mobilizations tomorrow, it's ok to stop talking about them. The people attending don't care what you think.

i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

This is functionally a robbery of New York City and New York State taxpayers, who contribute billions more to the federal government annually than we get back. Stealing our money, blocking our bus lanes.

so basically the GOP will continue to lie, mis-label, fear monger, and lie about Mamdami and the Democratic Party. Guess it works for their low-info base. I'd like free municipal busses personally.

"Tonight is further proof that radical socialist Zohran Mamdani is the new face of the Democrat Party" The GOP may regret helping make Mamdami the face of the opposition. I don't think that their strategy to associate free buses with Stalnist gulags works anymore. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life. And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.

Media piracy is only ethical if the owners of the media are suppressing it. Locked behind streaming, ethical. Only available as a $500 collector's set, ethical. Out of print and left to scalpers, ethical. Is the full cut available on Blu-ray? Pull out your wallet and support things you like.

I think whales are sapient and should be treated as equal co-inhabitants of Earth.

Owning a Ford-150 or just any large "civilian truck" is, from every moral and ethical framework, a really bad thing

we are this 🤌 close to these people doing a massacre of their political opposition

Holy fucking shit excommunicate this man from this city. Get out and don’t come back.

About fucking time a US government took on insulin cost. The (Canadian) discoverers sold the patent for $1 to ensure availability, making the lethal price-gouging by Pharma inexcusable. Doesn't make up for Newsom's transphobia and brutality to unhoused people though. share.google/9m6WYsraoEQv...
