We guest lectured to a law school class this week about mutual aid & social movements (& mutual aid as social movement!) & the importance of care work in building a new world! We read: truthout.org/articles/mut... What are you favorite accessible mutual aid reads for new folks?

Huh..

Oh wow: The @nytimes.com reports the Department of Justice is reportedly investigating @mayorbowser.dc.gov for corruption over a 2023 trip she took to Qatar. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

One benefit of shit like this is that it makes it very clear who our enemies are.

So the same thing that already happens to Black people every day?

Really good episode with the authors of a paper about COVID-19 in prisons. They go into some of the limitations of the “prisons as forced labor” framing and bring in analyses of prisons as death worlds/warfare/counterinsurgency.

This is an important next step for people who are looking to push Albany. Plug in.

Cw: murder So this unhoused woman was hit-and-run, and the cops responding to the incident ran her over and left her dying in the road I drive by this spot every single day. What the fuck is wrong with people? www.fox5dc.com/news/suspect...

Jerry woke up and chose violence

Wow, the good news for the Democrats just keeps coming

@illumi.meme I need you to get famous enough to have a fan club, solely because “Illumi Nation” would be an awesome name

I wasn’t aware Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries were Reddit mods

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different. shutting the fuck up is free.

Just finished this piece and Anil wasn’t kidding. It’s thoroughly researched and Jacky includes a whole lot of good reading and references

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

Boooooooo Sorry to hear it, Minneapolis friends. I know y’all hate him

Back to work. We still need jobs and paychecks 😊 Schoolhouse is looking for a Sr. Software Engineer! They are the world’s largest free, peer tutoring platform. $176K-200K. Remote. Applications are due November 7th! jobs.diversifytech.com/job/1950835-...

Good morning. I woke up at 7AM and have had a cup and a half of coffee already. A lot of people outside Minneapolis probably are wondering what's going. What's happened to the "Midwest Mamdani"? And a lot of people who just learned about us this year are probably confused. It's okay!

Actual question: if someone outside New York wanted a physical copy of a single NY Post issue, how would they acquire it?

I‘m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Qamar. Qamar has three children Elias, 5 and twins Abdul and Muhammad who are two and a half. Elias was born with cerebral palsy and has a variety of health issues, including lung problems for the smoke from the wood stove in their tent.

The best outcome from yesterday is that I never have to hear that cringey “I am speaking!” Winsome Earle-Sears ad again

here is a mockup

It’s really comforting to think about how angry that vile little man is right now. Just in an absolute rage because he’s not actually all-powerful

Don’t get me wrong: the government is my enemy regardless of who is in power. But I’d generally rather fight against Democrats than against Republicans.

Shameka “Meek” Hayes serves as a neighborhood commissioner in Washington, D.C., representing fellow incarcerated people. It’s not easy.

Hello @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social … you got spots in your tech and policy team ? Because you gone be hearing from me EITHER WAY. Because YES

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

Breaking: Andrew Cuomo set to join Bari Weiss at CBS

If we had lost Virginia, there was a very real chance that we’d be losing abortion access in the state, which would be a disaster especially for us in DC, which couldn’t possibly absorb all those patients. Watching with my abortion fund board member hat on, these results are a tremendous relief.

Massive news for VA, I believe this guarantees they'll be able to get abortion rights on the state ballot next year. The antis spent hell of time and money in VA trying to stop this and absolutely face-planted.

The takeaway I see here is that women of all ages voted for Spanberger, and young women especially so. And that men over 30 voted for Winsome Earl-Sears

lol let’s fucking go

👀

Oh hey, look at PWC at Spanberger +34

If we get a dem governor, lt gov, ag, and if Dems gain more seats in the House of Delegates, we had better see abortion rights codified in Virginia.

The exit polls for the Virginia Governor’s race look as one might expect….

Well, I guess you Winsome and you Losesome

I’ve already seen one “Dems are racist for electing a white woman” take

Seems like a good night so far for Democrats

The dork district is Jerry-mandered

Virginia has elected Ghazala Hashmi as the state’s next lieutenant governor, making her the first Muslim woman ever elected to statewide office in the United States. 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

She’s gonna end up with like 60% of the vote lol. Eat shit, Winsome Earle-Sears

They called it! Abigail Spanberger won the Virginia gubernatorial race!

Virginia Elections - Current Results GOVERNOR - 🔵 ☑️ Abigail Spanberger (D) - 256,492 (61.0%) - 🔴 Winsome Earle-Sears (R) - 162,923 (38.8%) LT GOVERNOR - 🔵 Ghazala F. Hashmi (D) - 247,696 (59.3%) - 🔴 John J. Reid (R) - 169,135 (40.5%)

sharing your food at any velocity is not a crime and a sandwich is not a weapon

Polls closed. Here we go

I started writing out my thoughts and had that “this should be a blog post” thought. I have not had that thought in years Am I going to have to resurrect my personal site?

As I read more about capitalism, technological development, and AI, I am growing less worried about AI fully replacing my job. What I’m more worried about is AI fulfilling capitalists’ desire to deskill us and push us into lower-paying and more precarious work.
