AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Sign your name to support and end to rent hikes in Richmond and Virginia at large! The economy is looking grim and people are already struggling. The last thing we need is people sleeping on the streets because their landlord dramatically increased their rent. nwmd.social/s/copylink/4...

In celebration of Francine’s return, adoption fees for all cats and kittens are waived October 6-7. 🎉

This is what fascism looks like in America.

I guess it's only appropriate that a NY Times article glazing Cuomo re-entering the race is written by a fellow sexual harasser.

Its unfortunate how normalized corruption has become in this country. He's grovelling at the feet of the wealthy to interfere in what should be a free and fair election. They're scared. Go ahead. Try it. It didn't work for Cuomo. share.google/RWdP9wUf4LSf...

Not surprising. We'll continue down this fascist death spiral until we actually get rid of money in politics. The controlled opposition only cares about their donors.

NYC mayor race just got more interesting. Mamdani is catapulting to a dead heat with sexual predator Andrew Cuomo 🚨 www.racetothewh.com/nycmayorpoll...

Gosh, I wonder why? 🤨

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

This is what corruption looks like.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Nice going @jljlovesrva.bsky.social 🥳

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Oligarchy doesn’t even begin to describe what this is

Day 47 of Godzilla romping through history, January 5th 1781, Richmond, Virginia, is burned by British naval forces led by former American general Benedict Arnold.

A story in 3 parts.

On this day in 1855 a giant creature emerged from the James to wreak havoc on Richmond. Never forget 😤

Unionized Starbucks workers are on strike in: -California -Colorado -Illinois -Massachusetts -New Jersey -New York -Ohio -Oregon -Pennsylvania -Missouri -Texas -Washington The strike could reach “hundreds of stores” by Tuesday, according to @sbworkersunited.org.

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

"Richard Neal, 75, will lead Democrats on Ways and Means, Frank Pallone, 73, will be the party’s top representative on Energy and Commerce. Maxine Waters, 86, will be the ranking member on the Financial Services Committee, and Rose DeLauro, 81, will helm the Democrats’ presence in Appropriations."

Bernie Sanders: "We are moving rapidly into an oligarchic form of society. Never before in American history have so few people had so much wealth and so much power." "In Russia, Putin has an oligarchy. We have an oligarchy here, too.

This was desperately needed. Now I'll hopefully never have to drive to short pump again 🤞

Trump announces that billionaires no longer have to comply with environmental regulations

I got the Luigi Mangione manifesto. The real one, not the forgery circulating online. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-man...

This is what oligarchy looks like.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

Some shots I took of #rva the other night.

The fact Biden is still going hard on supporting Israel in his few short months left is reprehensible and solidifies their failure on human rights. Any meaningful change in attitude from the Dems going into the new Trump era is unlikely with all that sweet AIPAC money.

Great interview from the Majority Report on the Dem's shooting themselves in the foot during Biden's administration. Should have been Bernie... youtu.be/q3XDH3Hbc_k?...

#RVA mayor & city council doing targeted relief rather than across-the-board tax cuts is the right path, but I also have mixed feelings about the details. (1/4)

Yes this thank you! And the structure of American society has made this even harder, from the lack of walkable communities to the destruction of third spaces. Individualism is a very good example of how Americans have been taught to oppress themselves, and it is essential to combat.

Anybody play the new hearts of iron dlc? Gave it a try and realized I still suck at that game and it's only gotten harder with new updates 😂

Still using X?

This place is cool and all, but it doesn't feel like home without the maga spambots. Also, just a thought, the name could be shorter. Like a single letter would do. Z is nice.

hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors
