I'm not crying. You're crying. "May you keep choosing change, even when it’s hard and inconvenient, because you know authentic democracy is worth it. So here’s to you, New York. We can’t wait to see the amazing work you will do. Love, Your friends in Jackson, Mississippi."

Western mainstream media could have helped to stop this genocide under Biden if it had just reported honestly on genocide from day 1. Instead, while Israeli soldiers slaughter, r*pe, starve, torture, imprison, steal, and implode Palestinians, including babies, we get article after article like this.

The most predictable thing in the world is that Democrats would not hold the line on this. Every Senate Democrat voted to confirm Marco Rubio as Sec of State, a dozen supported the Laken Riley Act, and the vast majority are still ignoring a 2-year US-backed genocide. We have no opposition party.

Ruwa Romman, candidate for Georgia governor!

“In other countries, mothers are worrying about homework, grades, screen time…They post photos of ‘first day of school’ and decorate lunchboxes. Here, we are just hoping our children survive long enough to have a first day again.”

What a dream endorsement for Ballot from Alexander Chee, one of my favorite writers! You can pre-order Ballot, anywhere books are sold! bookshop.org/p/books/ball...

I will be staring at this map for the next several days.

The passing of Dick Cheney, who killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims, and the victories of Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor and Ghazala Hashmi for Virginia Lieutenant Governor happening on the same day CAN NOT BE JUST COINCIDENCE. (This is as spiritual as I will ever get about anything.)

OMG Georgia flipped two Public Service Commission seats??? Wow! And called so early!

Best websites for watching the returns for -- Georgia's Public Service Commissioners and our local races? Prop 50 in California? NYC mayoral race? Gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey? Pennsylvania Supreme Court election?

I dreamt last night of a Prop 50 and Mamdani landslide, please let it be so.

Where are we watching the returns tonight for the NYC mayoral race?

VP Dick Cheney is dead. He lied about weapons of mass destruction & launched a war based on these lies that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. He oversaw an era of heightened Islamaphobia & the sharp rise of Christian Nationalism & anti-intellectualism. He lived out his days peacefully

What a tremendous loss. When mainstream media became a mouthpiece for extremism, TV doubled down. “‘Management plans to lay off six of our members, most of whom are BIPOC women or trans, including Teen Vogue’s Politics Editor…Teen Vogue now has no writers or editors explicitly covering politics.’”

I live 900 miles from NYC but feel as if my whole life depends on the outcome of this mayoral election.

Let this be the final nail in Cuomo’s coffin…

For all the (lack of) coverage it's received, you could be forgiven for not knowing that Israel invaded Syria, occupied several hundred square miles, and is now deploying its West Bank tactics to cut Syrian villages off from each other.

On DHS’s unauthorized use of Norman Rockwell’s paintings across social media, an op-ed from our family today in @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

"If Mamdani, as mayor, takes Dalits’ voices into account for his vision for the city, it could offer the movement around caste a necessary bulwark to resist the ongoing attacks from the Hindu right...But will it happen? That remains to be seen." newlinesmag.com/argument/wha...

hey guys are we ever going to talk about what's happening with DHS on social media

Will the Party ever change? Nope "Two-thirds of Democrats say they are frustrated with the Democratic Party. Fewer than half of Republicans (40%)say the same of the GOP...Three-in-ten Democrats also say their own party makes them feel angry. Just 19% of Republicans say the same of their own party."

Horrifying “The 460 patients and their companions were reportedly killed Tuesday at Saudi Hospital by fighters from the Rapid Support Forces in the city of el-Fasher… …RSF fighters also went from house to house, beating and shooting at people, including women and children.”

"If the Democratic future requires us to exchange our discomfort with casual Nazism to advance a political agenda, I am not interested...But don’t tell me that excusing that tattoo is good politics. It is the exact same politics that the right is selling, in a different outfit..."

One candidate used $60m in taxpayer $ to exact revenge on a woman he’d sexually harassed. Another called an elder female relative his aunt. New York, you decide!

Please use links. Not only does this give credit for the piece to the author and publication, but it's more accessible for low vision folks, and helps folks determine on their own whether it's real and true.

Grateful to all of the writers who signed this, and Literary Hub as well—a rare US-based publication that has been unapologetically against genocide since Day 1. lithub.com/300-pledge-t...

In the spring of 2024, students, faculty & staff protested the genocide of Palestinians & demanded divestment from Isr@el. They were beaten, chemically sprayed, arrested, suspended, banned, fired & harassed by police & administrators. Glad more folks are engaged. Wish more folks gave a shi!t then.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The Weather Channel has labeled the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America on their map tracking Hurricane Melissa. We are living in multiple hells at the same time. Link of coverage here: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8DdRXn2/

Mainstream media doesn’t even try to hide its fascism problem anymore. Threads post from the Associated Press: “Anti-abortion pregnancy centers offer much more than free ultrasounds and diapers. Here's why they're expanding as Planned Parenthood clinics close.”

Horrifying “Under SNAP, which serves more than 42 million people, families receive an average of $187.20 per month to pay for groceries. The pause in benefits would kick in just before the Thanksgiving holiday and add further strain on food banks and pantries during a typically busy season.”

Wow. So both Georgia Senators along with Fetterman crossed the aisle? Disgraceful.

The outcome of the interstate gerrymandering wars will be irrelevant if the Supreme Court finds Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional.

Outside the Chicago area ICE detention center in Broadview this afternoon, fed caravans are coming and going to drop off captives. ICE and CBP are kidnapping people all over the city and suburbs today—our new "normal." As usual, we've seen several vehicles with no license plates enter.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Anwar. Anwar and her husband tried for 12 years to have a baby before having Sham shortly before the war began. Her husband was martyred in the Flour Massacre in January last year and she’s now on her own trying to provide for Sham.

💔 Today is extremely hard for us… there’s no food, and every moment is getting heavier 🌧️ If 10 generous people could each donate $20, we could buy some meals and survive the day. Your support means everything to us — please don’t let us face this hardship alone 🥺🙏 gofund.me/8974ddba

Getting whiplash over mid-cycle gerrymandering. "The surprise development...would make Virginia the second state, after California, in which Democrats try to counter a wave of Republican moves demanded by President Trump to redistrict states to their advantage before the 2026 midterm elections."

“After the recent departure of Pentagon reporters due to their refusal to agree to a new set of restrictive policies, the defense department has announced a “next generation of the Pentagon press corps” featuring 60 journalists from far-right outlets,many of which have promoted conspiracy theories.”

Only 2 dozen Democrats in Congress signed this letter to Marco Rubio to demand the release of Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old Palestinian-American who has been in an Israeli prison for 8 months. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Another state, this time North Carolina, bites the dust. The GOP gets another seat & is easily winning the gerrymandering war. "Texas approved a new map in August that seeks to get five more Republican seats, while Republicans in Missouri have done the same to squeeze out an additional GOP seat."

So disappointing, yet not really surprising. Maine Democrats, find another primary contender. Voters deserve so much more than Graham Platner. We do not need another Fetterman in the US Senate.

A reminder that we must still remove our shoes and can’t bring in containers of more than 3.4 ounces of liquids through security checkpoints due to heightened post-9/11 Islamophobia—but that this dude who planned to shoot up an airport, like most mass shooters or potential mass shooters—is white.

Dominion has always been a disastrous election system, and its purchase by a former Republican election official only makes things so much worse.

This is such an excellent piece about members of the Hindu right who mobilized behind Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo over Zohram Mamdani in the NYC mayoral election in order to increase local political support for their extremist agenda.

I missed the mention; thank you for shouting out @thexylom.com! Donate link is here: fundrazr.com/sustain-the-...

Dear god. “The wave of air strikes on the besieged enclave comes after Israel alleged that Hamas breached the ceasefire.”

The assault, based on lies and bad faith accusations, on @unrwa.org is not just contemptible, it is an attack on humanitarian efforts all over the world.
