24 DAYS UNTIL WE MAKE HISTORY. Now is our time. Thank you to the @DNC chair, Ken Martin, for coming to Nashville, and to all of those who canvassed yesterday. Remember, talking to voters is the only way we’re going to win— sign up today 🔗 Link in bio

Vote for Aftyn Behn!

Really excellent article by Anchorage historian David Reamer about the first live-fire tests of Nike-Hercules missiles in Alaska www.adn.com/alaska-life/...

My dad, Bill Hodes, talking about his childhood in Mao’s China on Cold War Conversations!

Unveiling of Duke Russell’s new artwork _When the Wind Blows_ depicting the 1964 nuclear incident at Site PoiNT, today at the Wax Bunker in Kincaid Park (the room where it happened)

For the rest of my life I will associate this song with being in Brooklyn the night Mamdani won

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

Honestly he's kind of an amazing case study on guys who flip ideologies because they just like violence. You could write an entire thesis on patriarchy from these three paragraphs alone Moreover, ICE must be destroyed bsky.app/profile/mefc...

_Hamilton_ at the Rodgers, the first performance after Mamdani’s victory. “Immigrants: we get the job done“ got riotous, thunderous applause (Also Leslie Odom Jr was there)

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Not a joke: Mamdani should appoint him head of the Office of Animal Welfare

Let’s do this, TN! @aftynbehn.bsky.social for the win in the Dec 2 special election!🇺🇸

Now that Nov 4th is in the books, I'd like to draw people's attention to the special election next month in TN-7, where my West Point classmate Matt van Epps is running as a truly embarrassing MAGA sycophant, while Rep. Aftyn Behn is running to "Fix Roads, Feed Kids, and Fund Hospitals."

Do it!

This is a good source to see the breadth of Trump’s failure yesterday: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Let this be a reminder to Platner stans that you CAN find someone else. It's still not too late to unhitch your wagon from the Boy with the Nazi Tattoo.

Historical perspective on Virginia election results- Abigail Spanberger is on track to win by the largest margin of any Democratic candidate for Governor since 1961, before the integration-era party realignment. Democrats will win their largest House of Delegates majority since 1987. A BIG night.

this is objectively hilarious

Maybe now all the fucking democrats from carville to the blue heart crew here who keep saying the way to win is to hate trans people more will shut the fuck up

RESULT: Abigail Spanberger has been elected governor of Virginia, the AP has just called. Her win flips this office for Democrats. Virginia’s other statewide elections, for lieutenant governor and attorney general, have not yet been called at this time.

#PostcardsToVoters is currently writing for @aftynbehn.bsky.social running for Congress in Tennessee to make sure hospitals are funded, kids are fed, and roads are fixed. Another win is one step closer to flipping control of the US House to the Democrats. Special election on Dec 2nd. 💙

Reading for NYC trip! #jewyorkcity

Hey, know how we passed the largest increase in school funding in our state's history? I negotiated and collaborated with Republicans to earn their support. That's what you do when you are in the Majority.

'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs the Orthodox woman who voted for the Leopards Eating Reconstructionist People's Faces Party.

Also if you are going to pretend that Tucker Carlson is purely criticizing Israel, ignoring his storied history of antisemitic conspiracy and his choice to interview Nick Fuentes, you’re not a serious person. There are many critics who manage not to push replacement theory.

The thing about the groyperfication of the GOP is that practically every single major American Jewish institution dedicated to fighting antisemitism has spent the past two years enabling the far right because of the Gaza genocide.

considrring the lengths (some) Democrats are going to stand by BOTH Platner AND Cuomo suggests that this isn’t about the policies of anyone—not Platner, not Mills, not Mamdani, not Cuomo. It’s just racism through and through

There is a website for the dogs that were rescued from Kipnuk and Kwillingok to help their owners find and retrieve them. alaskatyphoondogs.org?fbclid=IwdGR...

I can even understand all of that, it’s just i don’t want someone that sleazy to be a U.S. Senator

Scandal erupts over _The Bear_ falsely portraying Carmie and Richie as cousins

World Central Kitchen is mobilizing to Jamaica, please consider donating

We should never forget that this synagogue was targeted specifically because of their work with HIAS on refugee rights. Seven years later, we should honor their legacy by fighting antisemitism, but also by continuing to do the work of supporting refugee resettlement and migrant rights.

Aha so he does understand that symbols represent ideological affinities

Are you wondering why New York City isn’t using ranked choice voting in next week’s general election, like it did in the primary? I heard that question from many of you, so I set out to answer it today: it’s one of six questions in my new “elections mailbag” where I answered reader questions.

It’s been seven years since the antisemitic act of violence claimed 11 lives at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. We grieve with their families and loved ones. In their memory, we must continue to recommit ourselves to fighting antisemitism and all forms of hate.

We’re proud New York Rabbis for Zohran. Our movement of thousands of Jews For Zohran is growing. Join us to elect Mayor Mamdani at jfrej.org/field 🗳️ 📋P.S. Remember - canvassing is a mitzvah! Benjamin Abrams sound & edit 📷: Dan Fridman

From Gaza to Western Alaska, WCK is there

Anchorfolk—come out to Kincaid Park on the afternoon of Nov 9th to see the unveiling of some new historical artwork by my pal, legendary Anchorage artist Duke Russell!! www.nikesitesummit.net#/

Has there ever been this large of a gap between what American Jews actually believe, and what our institutional leaders are pushing in our name?

Strange that there aren’t any billionaire Trump fans volunteering to pay for people’s SNAP benefits

anti arab racism was really bad after 9/11 but the mamdani stuff is worse, at least at the elite level

Tonight in 1962, as the Cuban Missile Crisis escalated toward direct confrontation, a sentry on patrol at Duluth Air Force Base in Minnesota thought he saw someone climbing the perimeter fence. He shot at the intruder and activated the base sabotage alarm, which by design automatically triggered ...

The people of Maine seem to have it handled so last words here: Platner et al appeal to the legitimate frustrations of people disadvantaged by an unjust system. But there’s a way to do it *without* amplifying rage and resentment and I suggest people look at my friend Matt Schultz for a model:

Why in the FUCK is Alaska part of this suit? WHY? I feel ashamed of our State government. Given Alaskas history this is utterly atrocious. www.tn.gov/attorneygene...

This is the second time I’ve seen the utterly baffling claim that nobody in America had heard of World War II before 2016
