Governor Hochul announced earlier today that NYS will fully fund SNAP (regardless of today’s rulings). The payments will be made Sunday thru Friday

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔 thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...

the fury i feel is indescribable.

The rich have shamed poor people into silence to such an extent that almost no one knows how absolutely crushing it is to be poor in this country.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

Indeed, he was allowed to to kill all those children because he is so rich

“We invite contributors to continue this tradition and imagine new short stories in which alphabets, words, and characters transform the world around them, stories where language itself takes part in the narrative…” letter-books.com/open-call ($100 honorarium)

Come on, people 🤦‍♀️

i know he’s fun to laugh at but we really need to start enforcing corruption laws again, and the statute of limitations has absolutely not run out

Stop calling it a “ceasefire,” stop referring to “the ceasefire.”

One wonders how many of these anonymous armed men in balaclavas & full battle rattle, busting into daycares and schools in broad daylight to kidnap & terrorize women and children, also have histories of domestic violence & SA, and/or prior restraining orders against them.

many people are saying!

Black Studies and Black History will teach you how to imagine a very different world even when the deck is stacked against you and there’s no light in the tunnel.

Seeing this bubble grow from the front row and yelling into the void as we head towards 2008 part deux is making me lose my mind.

It’s Matthew Carter’s typeface, Shelley (fontsinuse.com/typefaces/27...), but like much Word Art it’s been artificially bolded. But the White House has a Chief Calligrapher (en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...), so why not have her do something proper? (Unless she’s been laid off like everyone else.)

“And we’ll have to do it all while the world melts, both cognitively and glacier-ly, knowing that AI is contributing to that melt.” The thing is that we don’t have to do it, though. www.wired.com/story/ai-nor...

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said.. “I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons” More celebrities need to speak out like this.

“Michael Burry, who famously shorted the US housing market before its collapse in 2008, has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall — making a similar play, in other words, on the prediction that the AI industry will collapse.”

Most new yorkers cannot afford to fly private. many cannot afford to fly at all.

This is city planner @lindseyboylan.bsky.social. She was the 1st whistleblower to bravely come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Andrew Cuomo. 12 others joined her. Cuomo resigned as Governor. His “comeback” never should have been enabled. She earned this moment more than most.

A whole new generation is going to be reading about Eugene Debs this morning. Read him from Haymarket in his own words. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1246-t...

Mamdani is taking no prisoners. listen to this interview of Lina Khan by @hcrichardson.bsky.social if you’re unfamiliar with what an excellent choice she is for his transition team. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydxk...

Despite all his bluster, what Trump fears above all else is being hated & mocked. He's been surrounded by a layer of apparatchiks who tell him he's winning & everyone loves him, but last night's election is an uncomfortable & inalterable fact. His ego will need to compensate. Brace for weirdness!

I am certain Zohran got so many texts last night like "sooooo I hear you're moving out of that rent stabilized apartment in January..."

Humanities where the cool jobs at

Trump just lost Gorsuch on tariffs. SCOTUS is going to be something like 6-3 or 7-2 against Trump.

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

Lina Khan! All-woman team!

Lina Khan is on the transition team! Yes! www.transition2025.com

Anyway more hard numbers on what was clearly a referendum Dems need to note and actually fight for on Trump and ICE from Passaic NJ, a place I know well and have a soft spot for ever since working on the 2008 movie Be Kind Rewind, which entirely shot there.

Mamdani aside, it’s results across the Hudson River in New Jersey that show MAGA is in deep shit. In counties like Passaic looking like Hispanic support has completely collapsed & reversed only a year later. Dem Mikie Sherrill won governor far better than expected. www.latintimes.com/latinos-sour...

Another note of thanks to @lindseyboylan.bsky.social who courageously spoke out against Cuomo from the beginning, through the primary, and all the way through today. A truly great New Yorker.

Girl, bye.

In terms of _content_, as we see with nods to Debs and Nehru, he's deeply comfortable with socialism. This makes sense not just because of his father's work, but also the cultural heritage on his mom's side; the region of India our families are from has always been a hotbed of leftist activism.

I keep thinking about this. This is how we learn. We learn through context, and when things are slightly out of reach. Learning is fun. Thinking is fun.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Oh my god, is Lina Khan gonna be part of the Mamdani administration? 🤞

Also refreshing that he ended by simply saying “Thank you.” 🙏

This is a historically excellent speech.

"New York will remain a city of immigrants, built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant." GOD YOU JUST FUCKING LOVE TO SEE IT

“Our greatness will be anything but abstract.”

“New York will remain a city of immigrants […] and as of tonight, led by an immigrant!”

Holy shit, man. Tearing up.

“Turn the volume up!”
