Tired of corporate Democrats wasting space? It’s time to @runforsomething.net! NYers: Both NY Senators needs to go, Schumer in 28 and Gillibrand in 30. Start now. There is no better time to take on the NY Dems, who prefer nepo babies and bankers to AOC and Mamdani. 🗽

Short version: Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet. Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care Trump: No Schumer: Okay

Disgusting. You engaged in political gamesmanship using them as pawns knowing they would get harmed and now you question *their* patriotism because some of them aren't wealthy like you and didn't want to work a high stress job for no pay?

Let's see how the right wing media in the UK are handling a Katie Wilson win. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

A thing I wrote about Schumer when Mamdani won the primary and kind of thinking about it a lot the last two days

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

wow. WOW.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

In my dictionary, the phrases "post-liberal" and "no enemies to the right" and "neo-reactionary" and "alt-right" are merely euphemisms for "fascist" and "authoritarian."

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

We are featured in over 50 news outlets today: PhD student David Mahoney's research using web archives, @archive.org, to measure historic website emissions, offering a new method and open-source code for analysing & highlighting online environmental impact. www.energylivenews.com/2025/11/11/c...

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Looks like this is available via Zoom (4-6 p.m. ET) for those not in New England!

Hey this is today. 😊

Look at what this garish, classless, tasteless fool has done to the People’s House.

This Veterans Day I want to acknowledge the Black veterans of WWII who fought fascism and nazism and came home to fight for civil rights and democracy here. New research shows Black veterans were critical in securing the voting rights currently under attack. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Caveat emptor.

From today's Chronicle of Higher Ed briefing. I am *never* an advocate of cutting programs. But I am curious to see if there will be the same type of "students aren't majoring in this, so let's cut the program" discourse around computer science as there always is for the arts and humanities.

These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

This entire article points out that there is no plan. His own Treasury Secretary says he doesn’t know anything about it. So why does media keep running these kind of headlines? He keeps making these Truth Social posts and media keeps running stories as if it is something real.

Good article from Edsall on Mamdani and impressed with how he says his thinking was changed by the evidence. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/o...

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Propaganda does not rely entirely on unassailable evidence and impeccable logic to discipline its targets. Neither can the response, writes Calum Matheson, an associate professor and chair of the Department of Communication at the University of Pittsburgh.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea. Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.

This photo was taken by @chicagotribune.com photog @mandophotos.bsky.social this past Saturday in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Chicago's local news journalists are doing a helluva job capturing the aggressive tactics CPB & ICE are using here. bsky.app/profile/mand...

it is almost as if someone was promoted beyond their ability

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

This man genuinely seems to think the Supreme Court works solely for him. I predict they’ll take a pass.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different. Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t. Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.

Paperwork burden, stigma and stress are common for SNAP and increase food insecurity. Many (most) recipients are children, disabled or older, while many already work, if they can. Not letting people go hungry should be a fundamental function of government.

welcome to bluesky. if the word "mapquest" means anything to you and/or you used it as a verb, you're in the right place

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot. Vote in your local elections! www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11...

I keep yelling this at my phone when I see these photos and I’m going to start yelling it here: NEVER. POINT. YOUR FIREARM. AT ANYTHING. YOU DO NOT INTEND. TO DESTROY.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

an underrated part of this turducken of garbage is Elon posting an image of the Odyssey while discussing the Iliad, but it's all so terribly, terribly pathetic
