Voters: What we want is leaders who actually give a shit about working people and prove it by clawing back the wealth we created that billionaires stole. Newsom: Got it. Don't tax wealth, do trash trans people!

Bluesky has not failed--it's literally just a website. The left, the progressive movement, and American civil society have failed to organize a boycott of the neo-Nazi propaganda website that's central to political media. That's not on Bluesky.

"The decision to lead the Olympics and Paralympics cannot be made behind closed doors. The Games belong to the working people of LA, and their leadership must reflect our city’s values of transparency, accountability, and respect for working families." Fair Games calls for new leadership and process

✨ It’s a yes or no question ✨

California is currently weighing a ballot initiative that would institute a one-time wealth tax on billionaires living in the state. I think it’s a good idea. Watch what my friend Bernie Sanders had to say.

Minnesota tenants are organizing for a massive rent strike after ICE raids & lost wages push families to the brink—backed by unions representing 25K+ workers. @rebeccaburns.bsky.social & @sarahlazare.bsky.social on why what’s building in the Twin Cities matters everywhere.

Look at all their pop art references to lord of the rings, star wars, star trek, superman etc. They completely miss the point of the most didactic material, the only reason they pretend to like classical art is they think it owns “lesser” people even though this is wholly stolen valor

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

You can't call every step of creeping fascism a distraction from kitchen-table issues and then punt whenever you have a chance to address the kitchen-table issues.

@reptedlieu.bsky.social’s office has said something similar. Meanwhile, people are being murdered on the street and children are being held in unconscionable conditions. And that’s just domestically. The situation is untenable and every second our reps delay is another second we don’t get back.

Like I said a couple years ago, leftist antisemitism is getting worse. Like, we're at the Naming The Jew stage and next I guess will be the triple parentheses

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

lol

"His farewell email, which was terse, thanked only Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Post, and did not mention journalists at the newspaper." once again tapping the sign reminding you all to support billionaire free news. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

Make sure our plane to Italy for the international culture event has plenty of Bugles™️ and Funyuns.™️

And -- as I've said before, as I will say again, as I will die saying -- there is not enough contempt in the fucking world for the meatsack pundits who went along with it. They should be exiled to the same remote island as all the pedo billionaires whose interests they served.

i'm really eager for the article we're going to publish monday at bolts. we've had eyes on covering something happening in a blue state for a while, and i think it'll be an important one. (sorry for a vague post — think of it as something to look forward to!)

#NJ11 update: New Jersey counted roughly 2,000 ballots today, and Analilia Mejia increased hear lead over Tom Malinowski from 0.8% to 1.1% (that's roughly +474 to +676).

Jon Kaji claims he’s independent. The record tells a different story: $35,000 donated to Trump Victory. His closest allies on council are both known MAGA members. Torrance deserves leaders who aren’t tied to MAGA politics. Vote NO on MAGA — June 2, 2026.

George Chen, the mayor of Torrance is MAGA extremist. In a 2022 interview he praised Trump and said Trump was the kind of leader the country and the world needs. That is disqualifying and divisive ideology like this has no place in leading our city. This June, VOTE NO ON THE MAGA MAYOR!

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

"LA28 cannot claim to represent the values of this city without addressing these concerns head-on. Casey Wasserman must resign." Another call to step down from LA City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez

Here are a few of the emails from Casey Wasserman, current chair of LA28, to Ghislaine Maxwell in the latest Epstein files drop

Survey data shows that most Americans do not want to rein in ICE. They want to abolish it.

I caught up on this conversation today because I missed it live yesterday: "How We Build A General Strike" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybA8...

Of the many Democrats not grasping the moment, Shapiro is definitely near the top.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Many Dems wrongly read 2024 election as lesson to back away from immigrants, human rights, confronting authoritarianism (see, for example, Laken Riley, green lighting cabinet, etc.) Truly hope they read in our resistance that it's backbone we're seeking.

Disgusting. In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

DOJ just deleted this. Whoops!

The Senate just blocked a bill that would’ve renewed ICE’s budget after nationwide pressure to stop ICE’s abuses. This is why we build working-class power — to protect our communities & force change, together. We’re not done until ICE is held accountable & our communities are safe.

The reason Democrats refuse to say "abolish ICE" is the same reason they refused to say "defund the police." Because they serve the interest of the wealthy over the people they have sworn to protect and serve. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/get-out-of...

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is not an electoral college a Democrat can win. @runforsomething.net’s plan to expand the map includes investing in local political infrastructure in TX, FL, AZ, UT, ID, NC & GA (plus 5 others.) If we don’t do the work now, we won’t have any options later.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Abolish ICE is the floor, not the ceiling. You can't reform something which is completely broken and corrupt. You need to tear it down. Democrats not on board with this aren't your allies. They will betray you and your communities in the future.

I truly, truly get it why a lot of good people are saying that Minneapolis is not about left or right, democrats or republican, now. I understand. But I’m sorry it actually is

I'm sorry if this sounds radical, but I don't think Dems should be voting to give this deeply unpopular, lawless, fascistic secret police force billions more dollars.

This could have been the lead story from every news organization in the country if any of them cared that the president is deeply racist.

Belarus has arrested several HAM radio hobbyists and is threatening them with the death penalty, extremely wild situation: www.404media.co/ham-radio-op...

A large replica of a sexually suggestive birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein, featuring a drawing of a naked woman’s torso and what appears to be President Trump’s signature, was placed on the National Mall overnight on Sunday.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

This does not look “defensive” to me, at all (left arm is braced against Good’s vehicle) as he aims his weapon www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Seems as if this works — if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans — than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.

This piece is very well reported and written. It’s clear-eyed, precise and gives important context. And yet it’s a great illustration that there’s this fundamental, unbridgeable formal constraint that makes it essentially impossible to plainly call this what it is. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Border Patrol agents beat and tased Anastacio Hernandez to death on video in 2010. If you don't remember that, it's because you weren't paying attention.

The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.
