A weekend read — Chicago is home to some of the world’s largest and richest corporations. Mayor Brandon Johnson and the grassroots coalition of organizers who elected him say it’s time for the wealthy to pay their fair share. Enter the corporate head tax. thetriibe.com/2025/11/eman...

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

RIP James Watson, co-discoverer of Rosalind Franklin's notes

10/10 take. No notes.

Perfect legging weather.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”

FACT OF THE DAY. 7 November 1917 (Gregorian calendar). The Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin stormed the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg to begin the Russian Revolution.

Is venture capitalism the single biggest problem with America today? Maybe. With so much power consolidated with so few people who's ONLY interest is to use that power to gather MORE power at the cost of everything else including human life, venture capitalism is a force multiplier for evil.

Oops!

Looked at the tv while leaving and of course it's CBS News.

I think back to when she so quickly said, "nope, not gonna run to replace Nadler." And then I think, imagine how much trust-busting you can do from NYC?

Immediately followed by a prescription drug ad with upbeat happy music talking about how you shield talk to your doctor if it causes suicidal thoughts. The miasma is real.

At a diner grabbing some breakfast as a treat for myself. They have the morning news (usual saccharine voices) recommending government workers call for profit companies to assist them with filing for bankruptcy. Tell me again how we're the greatest nation in the history of the planet?

So, uh, this could be hilarious, intentions be damned.

Y'all can critique @govpritzker.illinois.gov's actions and policies--gods know I do--but we need a fuck-ton more of our political leaders saying things like this in public.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

That half a billion is not what they cost. It's what they cost OVER AND ABOVE what they said they would cost. I swear if you or i pulled this kind of fiduciary negligence at work we would never work again.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

JUST IN: California has adopted Prop 50, the Democratic plan to redistrict the state, according to CNN. They called it as soon as polls closed.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Fuuuuuuck
