"JPMorgan on Monday said building AI infrastructure will cost more than $5tn" Crazy idea: Why not, rather than spending $5 TRILLION dollars to pay for data centers to create fake brains, just pay actual human beings with real brains that same $5 trillion?

I am not going to let Schumer and 8 center-right Democrats bring me down. We won on Tuesday. We're gonna keep winning. Just keep telling the stories of what the Trump administration is doing and how it's making lives so much harder, about the corruption, the incompetence, the violence.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

remember tuesday? that was 86 years ago

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.

Almost completely, every single problem with higher education that folks think is mainly about something else is <primarily> about the massive decline in state public funding since the 1980s. Yes, including everyone's obsession with getting their kid into the "right" college:

“The destruction of U.S.A.I.D. [caused] public man-made death. And the cruelty and lethality will only grow as the Administration expands its rollback of public-health advances to the homeland.” www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Zohran has now gotten more votes, in New York City alone, than 49 members of the U.S. Senate did when they get elected; It's likely that, when the final tally is complete, he'll have gotten more votes than half of all Senators currently in office. *This* is what power and purpose looks like.

The #1 lesson from yesterday’s blowout: Humanities majors killed on the job market 1) Mamdani- Africana Studies 2) Spanberger -French 3) Sherill - Global History

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

I want this printed on a thousand tshirts

You African Studies majors out there: you too can become mayor of New York City!!!

There are more of us than there are of them.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

this is objectively hilarious

this is genuinely wild

I had to move from NYC soon after Adams was elected I was more frustrated and upset about a mayoral election than I'd ever been. I miss NYC every day, but especially tonight when the city finally gets the amazing mayor it deserves. I know the parties tonight will be wild. CONGRATS NYC, you did it!

Congratulations Abigail Spanberger. I can't wait to work alongside my union siblings to force her to go back on her campaign promise of not repealing right to work.

Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas (a Democrat who is the chamber's president pro tempore) just tweeted this:

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

I think one of the greatest and consequential failures of 21st century education systems globally has been the collective refusal to understand that reading books, watching films and learning to appreciate art are necessary for ALL fields, but especially STEM, and especially tech.

We cannot be a meaningfully representative democracy until we replace the Senate & single-member districts as currently structured with actually representative & democratic institutions

Diversity is at the heart of union power 💪🏼

well this kicks ass www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Courage is contagious!

Earlier today, nearly 1000 students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members showed up to say HELL NO to this compact, and see what we accomplished! When we fight, we win!!

UVA has rejected the compact!

The Hoos are on the march against the Trump Administration trying to take over their school today and as a UVA Alumni I had to be there with them and let them know their General Assembly and @vasenatedems.bsky.social have their back! @senatorlocke.bsky.social @louiselucas.bsky.social

Sen. Mark Warner: "these compacts...are illegal & frankly would politicize our universities at an unprecedented level, would be a disaster for any university to sign...I’ll be anxious to see what [UVA] does," hope they'll reject it like MIT did. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/vide...

*Rally against the #Compact - Friday, October 17 at noon at the Rotunda. #UVA DO NOT SIGN! DO NOT FOLD!

Student governments of Vanderbilt, MIT, Brown, Dartmouth, Penn, UVA, and Arizona issued a joint statement condemning the Compact and stating that "Academic Freedom is not negotiable." www.instagram.com/p/DPm507ljBJ...

THIS IS AN ENGLISH OR COMMUNICATIONS DEGREE! JUST DO THOSE INSTEAD JESUS IN HEAVEN

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

UPenn professors have responded forcefully to the Trump administration's that colleges sign a "compact" in order to secure funding: "When an invitation is accompanied by consequences for not accepting it, it is in fact a threat, not an invitation." aaup-penn.org/statement-by...

When you speak to parents of young children about whether their weekend was relaxing and restorative.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

I'm fucking livid to receive an email from the office of the GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA today announcing a Proclamation asking for a moment of silence today for Charlie Kirk, who had no meaningful connections to this state, likening it to the solidarity we sought as a nation after 9 FUCKING 11.

TOMORROW. Student-led action (25+ student groups)! Organizers ask community members to SHOW UP in solidarity + bringing signs if possible.

Racism really is illogical bc how are you threatening HBCUs bc a white man shot another white man at a white rally at a white university in what has GOT TO be one of the top 5 whitest states in the country??? Black people couldn't be further from this if we actually tried.

Not only is this coming for you, it is here and we are collectively behind in preparing.
