there really are more of us than there are of them and when we all stand up and pitch in, we win

Bolts deserves some hype. I'm glad they're getting more recognition, because they do great work. Contributed if you can, and share their articles even if you can't.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop. Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

The Secretary of Health immediately fleeing a medical emergency is everything you need to know about the people running the USA.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I still go with The Big O. We always have a recency bias. Oscar Robinson has a higher RPG. That said, Russ is definitely in the conversation and it's a legitimate argument.

You know buying that Post for the cover is just giving a murdoch publication more money right?

Change in Headline

When you mix up your dog whistle with your fog horn.

And do I see these ads from the Democrats? Just 30 seconds of “Australia has so much power it’s free. We sent men to the moon. Why can’t we have that?” The dark key to every human heart is “feeling hard done by”, the GOP has known that for years, fucking turn it,

Coal has been dying for decades. In a truly capitalist free market system *it would just die*. But you have old men with weird models of “real work” fucking us.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Attention has (justly) gone to the abuses in Chicago but the assaults in Los Angeles never ended. The military left but they were guarding building. DHS paramilitaries remain active in L.A. it's bad.

As unimpressed as I can possibly be by a Kings win. Also, Westbrook is fun.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

If you want long hair, Devin Carter, you go for it. Don't let the haters get you down. Be you.

The Kings should win this game. No excuses.

In the U.S., about 1/3 of all food produced is wasted. When we waste food, “in many ways, we are throwing out a lot of water, a lot of land, a lot of fertilizer, natural habitat.” - @paul-west.bsky.social Check out the full article in @sentientmedia.org https://bit.ly/43KZxZa #foodwaste

For the love of god can we build housing instead?

"'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.

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

I'm about to have some strong opinions about the Dodgers. It remains to be seen whether they'll be good or bad.

One of the great joys of Zohran's victory is that NYC finally has a mayor who doesn't give a shit about what the New York Times thinks of him

Republican lawmakers, right-wing influencers, far-right extremists, and conspiracy theorists pushed anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric after Zohran Mamdani’s victory. www.wired.com/story/maga-r...

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

Remarkable investigative work by @propublica.org to dig what’s really happened in Portland & who is to blame for the violence. Like Chicago, it shows it’s the federal agents who are out of control. Read every word. www.propublica.org/article/port...

The same is true for other age groups and other candidates/causes. Whether it’s Boomer post card parties or places like Manny’s in the Mission: connect people, give them something to do. People are desperate for both, politically and otherwise.

i love that mamdani also beat the NYT in this election. like a drum.

As I predicted, California flexed its power, definitively. And it shouldn't stop now: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It’s rigged in the most ridiculous ways. Musk is always openly talking about tinkering with the algorithm. Any non-fascists still posting there seem to be in denial about this fact, which should be obvious by now.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

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.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Spanberger-Sherill-Zohranism lives

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

This is why you can't succumb to nihilism. I know it's SO fucking hard, but that's what the fash want: for us to give up. Fuck them, it's not over

Tonight is many things, but it is among other things, vindication for Lindsey, for being brave and speaking up about Cuomo's abuse towards her and other women.

The NYT is having some serious issues with cope right now.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

Half hour 'til polls close in NYC. You still got time if you hurry, friends. Get out there and vote. Find your poll site here! findmypollsite.vote.nyc

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.
