i love ta-nehisi coates so much

@adamconover.net I was at AMS for your panel. Great job!! I wanted to ask you about platforms like YouTube and Tiktok. How do you see those fitting into the WGA's or any Hollywood union's work and how it compares to Gig Work like Uber? Seems like something we dont talk about, but their big networks

At the @econliberties.bsky.social Anti-Monopoly Summit, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social called out Big Tech's predatory product designs for damaging our social fabric. "These technology companies are building capacities, perfecting capacities that are designed to keep people addicted to the internet.”

Great to join the @econliberties.bsky.social at the 2025 Anti-Monopoly Summit this morning! Corporate power and consolidation is out of control. Massive corporations and billionaires are only getting richer while working families continue to get screwed over. It’s time to put working people first.

I thought that was PM Modi ngl...

Imma need prominent Jewish journalists (especially with the last name Klein) to have more smoke for actual Nazis than pro-Palestine folks on college campuses.

cry laughing at the current stats on my behind the bastards reddit post about ta-nehisi coates’ vanity fair essay

@esaagar.bsky.social actually tying political violence to material conditions!! We love to hear it #AMS2025

Ooh it's who should be the Senate Dem Leader, Chris Murphy #AMS2025

Big events like this are a great reminder that I'm actually an incredibly shy person who simply surrounds himself with ppl that being me out of my shell

In my burgeoning "market socialist" identity, I couldn't help but wonder where universal healthcare and public banking/finance were in the convos on healthcare monopolies and monopsonies. Universal health insurance coverage seems like the better ground to build medical businesses on #AMS2025

I'm really appreciative of the 3-D model of markets that Jonathan Kanter uses. Integration is no longer vertical vs horizontal but the construction of a Conglomerate Box that holds entire markets and consumers #AMS2025

I'm definitely noticing that the diversity of the guests has increased since last year. That's key/core to movement success #AMS2025

I dont think we should stan policymakers and politicians...except Lina Khan. She's such a vibe #AMS2025

I'm here

🚨TODAY: The Anti-Monopoly Summit is beginning at 1pm ET! If you're not attending in person, you can still tune in LIVE to day 1 of #AMS2025 here👇 www.youtube.com/live/AXzBofa...

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

Live your life in such a way that, when you die, people directly quoting you does’t sound like a personal attack on your character.

horrified they weren’t quick enough to keep her from spreading this kind of vile hate speech on TV. for those who don’t know, “go birds” is a coded expression of support for the Philadelphia Eagles

kori king’s post drag race run will be studied for a generation #emmys

Joella and Kori King being the icons that they are.

Kori King is absolutely wild for this 💀😭 #Emmys #DragRace

Kori King has arrived at the #EMMYs

Another reporter fired JUST FOR ACCURATELY REPORTING WHAT CHARLIE KIRK SAID. They want that guy elevated to sainthood not because of what he did but DESPITE it. This shit is as fixed as wrestling.

If DC had a robust cargo bike rental industry, that would make transporting equipment for kickball so much easier. Taking ubers to the fields suuucks

Remember how Zuck went on Rogan and whined about how Biden was mean to him and he wasn't going to take it anymore... And the media was all like "look at the tough manly new Zuck" That was 8 months ago.

Zuckerberg saying Meta intends to spend at least 600 billion in the US Zuckerberg at the end caught on a hot mic

Kickball starts tomorrow and I'm I'm charge lol

Leftists often want the government to seize things for at least an attempt at a public good, the trump term 2 model is just seize things because “they are gay”

In 2023, I wrote about the campaign on the Israeli settler right to expel Palestinians and resettle Gaza, and why it was more likely to happen than many credited. My latest is about how that campaign is closer than ever to succeeding. Gift link:

On this date in 1981, the Washington Star published its final edition, ending its 128 years of service to the District. It is much missed. Fortunately, the Star archives live on. They are a treasure trove, & are accessible via the @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social website: bit.ly/31tLFBQ

I love a writer who studies other people's work!! More references to X of Swords outside the X-Office, please!! #Avengers #blackpanther #storm #xmen

Welcome to this unhinged mess we call our favorite show

If it was Shadow or Knuckles, Black ppl would empty the shelves. If Tails or Rouge, the gays would go feral

Senator Mike Gianaris (‪@sengianaris.bsky.social) and I worked together to deliver for our public transit system, including historic new funding for better service and a groundbreaking fare free bus pilot. That's why I didn't mind lending him our video team to deliver this important message:

Effective tariff rates continue spiking—customs duties averaged 9% across all imports in June, a figure more than quadruple the pre-Trump norm. Keep in mind that this understates the economic impacts of tariffs because tariffed goods make up a smaller % of overall imports now

I can imagine a world where AI stuff is deconcentrated, and there's an orientation away from big centralized data centers. Like micro-grids for data. Or we have publicly owned data centers whose size and environmental impact can be democratically controlled

Wanna see a crazy chart? Of course you do. Spending on constructing datacenters and manufacturing facilities for computers & electronic products in the US now exceeds the entire retail and wholesale industry and almost as much as the rest of the office and manufacturing sectors combined.

Some folks say that the Robinson-Patman Act doesn't work for the modern or digital economy, but I'm curious where advocates would like to see enforcement. Cloud storage? Audiobooks? Could there be labor-side applications? #antitrust #robinsonpatman

1. Today, ILSR filed a motion in federal court to unseal the FTC’s antitrust complaint against PepsiCo. The case bears directly on high grocery prices and food deserts — and would've marked a crucial revival of the long-neglected Robinson-Patman Act. But the public may never get to see it.

Some of my colleagues who are currently crying online about TX Democrats leaving the state are the same ones who left D.C. early so they wouldn’t have to vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Kind of interesting how that works, huh?

I am, unfortunately, utterly captivated by Big Brother and have chosen to stan #bb27

Abundance for the many is about making essentials affordable by all means necessary. Great conversation about the need for a new economic policy agenda that goes beyond removing blockages and waiting for corporations to do the rest. thedigradio.com/podcast/actu...

Some people keep saying "AI isn't just probabilities, AI understands," and then AI puts a toilet next to the office desk, both of which are in the kitchen with no sink. This is not something an entity would do if it "understood" what those things are.

The Secretary of the Interior hasn’t heard about batteries.

peek behind the curtain re frustrations w dems - senate dems released a report showing elon wasted $21 billion - they gave wapo a heads up on it, fine, wapo writes it up - they dont put out any releases on it - they dont put the report online - the senator leading it doesnt post it on his site
