London's latest Blue Plaque is a brilliant one. (It was put up at the Tesla dealership in Tottenham by campaigners)

Thousands of homeless people will be able to open a bank account and five major banks as part of a strategy to improve financial inclusion.

A shame it's being tested like this, but a forceful reminder that restoring nature, preserving clean, thriving ecosystems is also ensuring we have something to fall back on during tough times: grist.org/indigenous/t...

DEI was the problem but delusional white boys burning billions is totally fine.

This is evil. Don't use AI. Don't download AI apps. AI kills jobs, the planet, and people -- intentionally.

We're told one of these land uses is 'productive', while the other is not. But in terms of photosynthetic levels, as well as the production of clean air, water, no flooding, a stable climate, etc, etc, the natural ecosystem wins hands down. As for biodiversity, let's not even go there.

Those officers ordering these strikes, and senior enlisted personnel involved, need war crimes convictions.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

Great evidence for a future trial.

Not a postcard.

My favorite comment on the FT story

Baroness Mone and her husband live in an offshore tax haven and have reportedly benefited from £65m in profits from the sale of unusable PPE during the pandemic. Yet Mone still sits in the Lords and holds an OBE. Let's change that. Sign our petition: c.org/dyYH6hnydD 2/2

🎉💪 A judge has ruled that ICE agents who are caught trying to arrest someone at or around a Chicago courthouse can now be arrested. This comes after several weeks of ICE agents grabbing people on their way in or out of the courthouse. #StrongerTogether #ResistanceIsNotFutile

Anti-trust champion Lina Khan, the Wall Street Journal's Enemy Number One, is on Zohran's transition team. Khan: “I think what we saw last night was New Yorkers not just electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics where outside corporate power and money too often.”

I just want you to know that Zohran is really scary so you should definitely leave now that he’s won. Right away. Especially if you’re currently renting a 2-bedroom in north Park Slope or the Upper West side off the 2/3 express. So scary!!! You better break that lease fast.

more than 2 million votes in a NYC mayoral election for the first time since 1969. turns out, the way to fix voter apathy is to give people a candidate they actually care about. who knew?

The great @naomiaklein.bsky.social with tremendous words of wisdom about the glories of the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social campaign and why talking to our neighbors helps fight fascism. Also about the need to KEEP ORGANIZING. Let's keep doing this, friends!

Democrats winning in a landslide, like its a mandate or something. 🤔

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together. archive.is/8VqQJ [this is a useable link to the NYT transcript]

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom. going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

The day I learned that Dick Cheney died is the same day that I learned that the West has extorted, pillaged, looted and stolen $152,000,000,000,000 from the rest of the world since 1960. These things are very much connected. Cheney was one of the chief terrorists.

Absolutely insane. Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani. Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo. The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

What's even more hilarious about this is that, now that we have actual votes in, Mamdani remains over 50% with north of 90% of votes tallied.

The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

MamdanI puts every organization that bent the knee to Trump to shame tonight.

holy shit.

It’s cool that Chuck Schumer, Kiersten Gillibrand, and Hakeem Jeffries just proved to every future dem that establishment approval is irrelevant tbh

I will always remember this Mamdani ad. www.erininthemorning.com/p/as-some-de...

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

And Mamdani passes 1 million tallied votes.

I expect to see Schumer's resignation letter on my desk in the morning.

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia. That seems...significant.
