I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

Join us this Tuesday night for a ~very special~ livestream! It’s a slumber party vibe, so get cozy and spend the evening with us 🍿

when liberals see fascism they call it socialism and when they see socialism they shit their pants and cry

New — Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier are not yet committing to supporting Hakeem Jeffries as leader, both saying they will look to the voters for guidance on the kind of leadership they are demanding:

@harebrained.bsky.social SKILLING ON THE BEAR, I REPEAT SKILLING ON THE BEAR

(I think this is one of those things that *I* needed to be reminded of more than most.)

The feeling of “what the fuck will this even achieve” is poisonous. We have to keep fighting, but we aren’t likely to achieve housing for all next month. We can achieve material comforts, though. A moment of community and joy. The healing power of a little treat is underrated.

We recently got some feedback from the SSP participants. Among the big obvious asks - housing, accessible healthcare - were very doable ones. Ice cream. Movie nights at the drop-in. Point being - when you feel overwhelmed by the shit, remember that small things actually count.

NEW — The sentencing of the Prairieland demonstrators shows the brutality of Trump's war on dissent, but it's not without precedent, @kimkelly.bsky.social writes. History shows us the government has always punished anti-fascism. But this time we can change the narrative in real time. Read here:

Whenever someone refers to something as the “New Punk Rock,” get ready to hear about the most boring, conformist thing of all time.

I always like to play fun, silly games with my fascist friends

If centrists are consistent about anything, it’s that they only seem to acknowledge wars once they’re already losing them.

Worried that the longer this game stays scoreless, the more Japan will come to empathize with and even become friends with the Swedes, like some sort of Gothenburg Disease.

It’s the title track but also not the title track, you know?

When these data centers become debt traps in a few years at most, the next Dem president should offer to wipe out those debts if they're sold for a dollar back to cities for community centers, mutual aid hubs, YMCA-style temporary housing services. Try to salvage anything out of this mess.

Yeah, I don’t want to be uncharitable, but every “was visibility a mistake?” debate boils down to “should these people be allowed to exist in public?” to me.

and if there’s one takeaway from the last few decades it’s when Clarence Thomas writes dumb shit and no one joins him nothing ever comes from it, amirite?

Never change, NYT, you trash paper. The paper would never ask if a "moderate" (i.e. conservative/GOP-Lite) Democratic candidate's views will hurt them. Also, she won "despite" her views? Have you considered that she won because of them?

Shaboozey represents a reclamation of country music's roots as unapologetically Black. Alongside several special guests, he plays fan favorites and debuts new songs at the Desk. n.pr/4f2zrqB

Got a lot of chatterboxes in this crowd

oh no they’re going to start calling democrats the same thing they’ve been calling democrats for 20 years now

Wild that establishment dems wouldn't start to tack left even for cynical reasons. Even just thinking, hey, people seem to like candidates with ideas and conviction, I guess I should try that.

i swear to god at least three times a day i have an Interaction that i leave thinking “well i just went and showed my whole asperger’s there”

If you think this summer heatwave is hot remember that HELL HAS NO AC because it's not real.

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act in the House. The bill would ban the construction of data centers until Congress addresses the economic, environmental, and safety impacts of AI.

Congresswoman Stevens shouldn’t even get to say the word “transparency.” She is transparently bought by AIPAC and the corporations making your life harder.

Boots Riley has been trying to tell ppl this for a minute.

imagine being a Vocal Centrist… like what the fuck does that even mean? being proud of stagnation?

Amazing post

so interesting to post this and not post any kind of congratulations to Mamdani and his endorsed candidates, who love the party so much they’re willing to invest in its future instead of running as independents when they’re the only candidates young people actually like

I say this almost every day but The MOST democratic and Democratic thing any of us can do is hold our own “team” accountable. And when we don’t, we end up in administrations like this. I like my leaders to question authority and invite criticism. If you can’t, you should step down.

“.. Since the end of the Great Recession in 2009, only the top 0.1% of U.S. households have seen their wealth increase--from about $5.8 trillion to $25.1 trillion in the first quarter of 2026.” - Schwab

Given the millions of dollars it has now repeatedly thwarted from all sorts of interests — pro-Israel and real estate lobbies, billionaires, and the Democratic party establishment — New York City Democratic Socialists of America could be the nation's most powerful organization

The primary season is not over yet. And already, the number of Democratic socialists in Congress is set to double. Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Chris Rabb will join Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And there may yet be more to come.

A 32-year-old Democratic socialist who once said "Fuck Kamala Harris" has just beat the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — who was backed by the entire party establishment and millions of dollars. There is not even a doubt. The Democratic Tea Party is here.

Politically we live in an increasingly dangerous & confusing jungle of disinformation but it will forever be a universal truth that you can’t fake the funk when it comes to Having The Juice & Making Shit Better

after years of treating patients with sickle cell and seeing how much suffering it causes, and how providers mistreat these people, this just made me cry.

Science did this!

In my column today when I said the old Palace of Fine Arts from the World's Columbian Exposition had fallen into ruin before it was rescued and turned into the MSI in 1933, this is the ruin I was talking about.
