A lot of once-unionized journalists have been forced to go independent on a bunch of platforms so we will have to organize the people on the platforms. I predict. www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/more...

We know Starbucks has the money - CEO Brian Niccol was paid $96 million for just 4 months of work. In fact, Starbucks has the highest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. That’s not normal!

We have officially been on our unfair labor practice strike for one month. And in that month, 1000s of baristas in nearly 150 cities have joined together with allies, community leaders, and elected officials - all to tell Starbucks with one unified voice “NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.”

The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/new-orlean...

Does your Democratic Governor or Mayor speak this clear and direct in opposition to Authoritarianism? If not, find you a new one.

The vibe shift today is, I think, due to the fact that New Yorkers were on the offensive instead of the defensive. Usually with protests, demonstrators have to defend the space, defend their right to march, etc. They get beat up and pushed around and antagonized into chaos and trauma. 1/

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience. We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving ! #JustSaying 👇🏻

This holiday season, I encourage everyone to shop at local independent bookstores. I’ve put together a list of my favorite books, and indie bookstores across Maine have agreed to carry these titles.

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Apple is anti-union. Tesla is anti-union. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

Genius

Tastes like Fascism

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

This is a great piece from @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social, who was out all day in NYC reporting. It's about Mamdani but from the perspective of the organizers and volunteers who helped him to victory, and who won't stop organizing to help him carry out his agenda. prospect.org/2025/11/05/n...

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant… So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani. Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money. That is how we win.

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, who is also an NYC Mayoral candidate, is held back by authorities as he tries to approach President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan. This is in Albany. (Video: Bill Mahoney)

Yes, a coalition. In the past few decades the left was not visibly part of the coalition, and its re-emergence is getting the "Forever 1992" people confused.

“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here who have a lot more money than me. And if you’re a billionaire—why are you a billionaire? No hate, but give your money away, shorties.” — Billie Eilish before donating $11.5 Million dollars. Be like Billie.

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness. We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

Yes, this is a real post made by the Department of Homeland Security. None of this is normal.

Two Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors."

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Unusually for a New York City mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani has chosen to integrate soccer issues into his campaign. He spoke to us about the 2026 World Cup, his love of Arsenal, and an intriguing Premier League title race.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

Oh just Trump riding around his golf club telling his rich members "your taxes are coming down" while the government is shut down with thousands losing their jobs, people losing health insurance and kids going hungry….totally normal stuff

ICE/Border Patrol held a weapon on a guy who was demanding they show him their face in Rogers Park today

Expect Us. #Frogtifa is everywhere.

On October 18th we will be out in force in the entire galaxy. #WeAreEveryWhere

“ So I will find a way to keep burning without burning out. I will find moments to breathe, to soften, to hold what’s unbearable without letting it hollow me out. The goal is to feel without coming apart. And to keep going—until we don’t have to live like this anymore.”

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

This is a truly brilliant explanation of what it is like to live in these times.

NYC area people: All hands on deck for Tish James tomorrow!

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Our plane to Spain is in the air! 🙌🙌 Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Incredibly alarming—after the whole ridiculous antifa roundtable at the White House, as Mark was moving with his family to Europe after threats…

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

"We saw an opportunity in the final season of 'Andor' and now many more people across races, backgrounds and genders have joined our ranks for truth and reparations — and have already dealt major blows to the MAGA regime’s agenda." More about Project Fulcrum⬇️ wagingnonviolence.org/2025/10/why-...

The persistence of authoritarian divide & conquer politics requires taking fandom organizing seriously. @nataliegreen.bsky.social @levin.bsky.social & I shared some of the lessons we've learned bringing Andor fans into our movement for freedom from fascism & white supremacy. "Remember this. Try."

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

In a rare move, members of the press have organized a rally in protest against rising repression following the arrest of *yet another* NY-based photojournalist for documenting the aftermath of a protest event. 3pm - Foley Square - 10/1 #JournalismIsNotACrime
