"Democrats will never fully support disabled people because disability is the antithesis of capitalism. It requires we take a step back from always making a profit when it comes to the lives of people who can produce no profit outside of extraction from our for-profit healthcare system." 100% this.

As far as I know not a single sitting Dem senator has demanded Schumer’s resignation as leader. Not one.

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

I made food and put it in the community fridge. Fuck the democrats, we keep us safe.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Here’s a talk I gave years ago explaining how Columbus was basically the original trans-Atlantic drug trafficker. You will be never think about the colonization of this hemisphere in the same way again. The “drug” economy powered hemispheric growth (and enslavement) for centuries. Watch:

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: Lunch for jurors in the “sandwich guy” trial are a variety of sandwiches, according to a source familiar with lunch.

“The news that’s fit to print”

POST-ELECTION MASS CALL on Wednesday November 5th. Let's talk about our wins, losses, and what's next. The work doesn't end here. See you there: mobilize.us/workingfamilies/event/342586/?utm_source=social

And there was a “south Asians for Cuomo” card table with no one sitting at it. His campaign is doing real-time poetic self-owns at a rate perhaps never before seen

I made pocket abstract art.

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

Anyhow, have you seen Rama Duwaji's illustrated ceramics? They are so moving! www.ramaduwaji.com/ceramics

Per NYPost's scoop, some of the ways Mamdani's wife has "quietly steered" his campaign are weighing in on his logo design, being "a major source of support for him in private" and once posting on Instagram, "Couldn't possibly be prouder."

This is also how they’ll cover him if he wins. Mamdani - all democrats who actually want to govern and fix things - need to understand the NYT politics team as a partisan force arrayed against them.

🚨🚨Wow‼️In these times of uncertainty we need more Romeo’s in the world. He paid for people to eat for an hour and over 200 people were fed. This is the humanity and community we need right now. Bravo, Romeo‼️🔥💥🔥

@alfredtwu.com did you get the Alameda county ICE zine link?

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

Over the past 20 years, there is not a single major US newspaper that consistently told the truth about: * The rise of US fascism * The relationship between police racism and innocent Black folk US News frames the world from the view of the violent minority, but expects the majority to subscribe.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

"What are you going to do, shoot me? I would die for this shit." Until congress responds with the rage, fear, and courage of this man, they are letting me down and they are letting you down.

That's no ballroom

The level of community organizing that's happening right now is WILD. Get involved.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

The Epstein Ballroom it is

Not sure how but I got my copy and I’m halfway through. This is an incredible resource for those of us who haven’t been in this a long time. Inspiring to see how experienced people have worked through conflict and overwhelming situations, but haven’t given up. We need this now, thanks Kelly. 💜

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Trump’s “Let them eat cake” moment. One would hope.

Abolish all prisons. There is no humane prison.

Pick one.

How exactly is a strike during a ceasefire a “test”? 🤡

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

Listen, over 300+ people showed up for a No Kings protest in ANGOLA, INDIANA. There is a whole part of Indiana waiting to be activated. We have never been all red. So what are we going to do with that information? I wish I could say. But I have Hope.

Head of the Manhattan #NoKings march!
