Minor thread taking the piss out of some of the more vision boardy writing from the post ‘20 abolitionist movement has me thinking about an issue within abolitionism that I’ve been thinking about a great deal lately - call it differentiating police and prisons from Police and Prisons

We won. Every union representing workers at the University of California sued the Trump administration in September. Today, judge Rita Lin issued a preliminary injunction barring Trump’s attempts to extort political leverage from public higher education. democracyforward.org/updates/cour...

I love that author Kodi Rain made this fun little reader to practice newer grammar through the lens of finding the dog owner who doesn't clean up their dog's poop! 😂 vocesunplugged.com/products/el-...

Nice argument, but I’ve already depicted you as that culotte clad butcher of Champ de Mars Lafayette and myself as the towering champion of liberty Danton

Latine is a perfectly functional, elegant solution to the problem of gendering in Spanish, neopronouns are cool, the word triggered is very useful and ought to be resuscitated for practical purposes, we need to stop fleeing new language ideas just because Greg Gutfeld Could say it in a whiny voice

‘No! Not Larry Summers!’ Wails Devastated Nation

Oohoohoo we’re a class now! Fancy fancy

too complicated imo. how about “ever notice how the people complaining about cancel culture are pedophiles?”

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

If we don't push her hard from the left, she'll be able to hide behind Stefanik.

I actually don’t think Republican sickos starving the American people should launder their reputations by donating the equivalent of two rusty pennies to charity

Going to phrase something another way. Why is Henry George so broadly associated with 19c Populism and Edward Kellogg kind of forgotten in broader narratives around it? Part of it has to do with individual fame but another reason is that George is much easier to see as "classical econ but labor-ist"

Y’all are NOT gonna love what I’m about to study the history of the history of the history of

After Zohran's historic victory in New York City, we’re gearing up for an ambitious new phase of worker organizing across all five boroughs. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build the labor movement in New York and beyond. You can help. 🔗👇

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.

His victory reminds me that, though Black Studies is under attack, though Black Studies has not been immune to the elitist liberal capitalist politics of many institutions, it’s politically imaginative potential is still possible and yet to be realized.

this great article by @debtcollective.bsky.social lays out really clearly what's been on my mind all day: everybody better get real familiar with municipal finance real quick www.inthered.org/p/zohran-won...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

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

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Where on Earth did he find a "Hot Girls For Zohran" shirt in extra tall? Did Zohran campaign in Themyscira?

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown": 「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」 -魯迅，故鄉 #everynightapoem

Hakeem Jeffries has the sad eyes of a paternal aunt. Languid, barely holding on. After each visit, a melancholy lingers. No one sleeps. Kash Patel’s eyes are severe. His unkempt lawn houses an intense German Shepherd tied to a wire. He yells from the porch. The dog bellows back. Disharmony abounds.

Awwwwwww don’t do that

A solution-agnostic view, in which one acknowledges the present one state reality and then works form there to dismantle Israeli apartheid and reverse the occupation system is a nice methodology but again crucially none of the supposedly pro peace sensible moderate centrists care about that.

Alright we’re done here

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

So who’s the hater and who’s the waiter?

My toxic trait is that I’m always mixing up the names of MST3K actor and Bluesky charmer @billcorbett.bsky.social and Cuomo flack psychopath Bill Ackman.

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

absolutely geeked off crumbl cookies dirty soda and a needle full of testosterone so pure it’d make a soviet blush

My main takeaway from the Platner debacle is that it is very hard for people to live with a bad ending that hasn’t happened yet. You can’t run a progressive with a totenkopf tat and you can’t rescind an endorsement halfway into a race you’re trying to impact. Sometimes the left just loses

It’s shaped like a heart 💖

Curtis Sliwa is the kind of guy who says "What are you gonna do, shoot me?" gets shot, then repeats "What are you gonna do, shoot me?" before each additional bullet until, after 6 bullets, he says "Okay, you shot me up tough guy. Now what?"

BREAKING: At least 51 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza by Israeli attacks since the ceasefire came into effect less than two weeks ago, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/z1q2d3

You’re laughing? The Yorkshiremen have lost their beloved Duke and you’re laughing?

I personally found Sliwa’s account that he just buys a gallon of milk And a loaf of bread from the store believable as he’s the only candidate in the mayoral race who mostly eats an unadorned can of tuna over the trash like Rorschach

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.
