Thinking this level of inequality is unsustainable isn’t radical, thinking it isn’t is

ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”

Pretty sure 42 million starving Americans counts as a catastrophe

the right isn’t really that afraid of zohran mamdani, the thing they’re most afraid of is that his agenda and being unashamed of being an open democratic socialist will work too well

Another amazing #PairedTexts

I wasn't prepared for how funny this video is

What a metaphor. A man completely unfazed by suffering even when it's 3 feet away.

The agent involved works at the Calais, ME border. (which is the bridge I've crossed thousands of times)

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

I remember when Obamacare was Romneycare

The media is rushing 300 “New York Jews worried about Mamdani antisemitism” fetch essays based on nothing but Mamdani being a Muslim meanwhile the Republican Party from top to toe has the confidence to wear nazi makeup every day knowing the press looks at it like the westworld bots seeing a polaroid

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks. Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire. The moral of the story is this: If you ask for affordable healthcare & food, you’re a mooch. If you ask for billions, you’re an entrepreneur.

If you ever feel like you're bad at your job, just remember that the password to access the Louvre's video surveillance system was "Louvre"

CHILDCARE IS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

My folks have loved this, bc of the loss of healthcare in rural areas, their providers are 2 hrs from home. My mom had her next appt moved to in person next week, 200 mile round trip for what could be a 15 min tele visit.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Every single candidate Trump endorsed lost last night.

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

You heard it here first: Georgia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania are blue states now!

I had to dig around, but I firmly believe the reason MTG is suddenly speaking out about healthcare is bc her own kids just aged off her plan, and she is realizing the mountains our kids are facing. From Politico: www.politico.com/news/magazin... makes her kids 28, 26, 22 now.

Called my Dem reps and left messages just now along the lines of "with that election night, we now have hard evidence that MAGA is a weak minority and we hold the power. Don't give in to their demands. People want government to work FOR them and they're over this bullshit. Keep firm, don't break."

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

My one disappointment (as the person who chaired the committee) is knowing that if they’d let it in the ballot, the city rec center would have passed.

3) They wrecked NOVA's economy, firing our workers and contractors, and then furloughing those who are left by shutting down the government for the purpose of making sure people can't afford health insurance. Or food for that matter. WTH did they think was going to happen at the ballot box?

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit. Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear. Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

This is why you can't succumb to nihilism. I know it's SO fucking hard, but that's what the fash want: for us to give up. Fuck them, it's not over

AOC: "We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country. And we will send in a wave of Democrats that not bow to this administration, but stand up to this administration."

Someone go get out there on this and win yourself a Pulitzer

"I believe in the dignity of all people" is a really simple and powerful message

Repro wins so far: - Virginia protected its status as the last abortion access haven in the South - The Pennsylvania Supreme Court retained the three Democratic justices needed to protect abortion - New Jersey elected a Dem governor (vital as one of the few states w/zero abortion restrictions)

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

Apparently, the American people do not like Trump’s chaos, meanness, hate, his trade wars, attacks on our communities, economic mismanagement! Republicans you will continue to be decimated supporting Trump’s failures.

wait, are you telling me that all the centrist pundits who insisted that Dems wouldn't win any future elections unless/until they threw trans people under the bus turned out to be wrong? how could this be?!? 😱 www.erininthemorning.com/p/new-poll-v...

Mamdani has won more votes than there are people in South Dakota.

CALL YOUR ELECTEDS AND TELL THEM TO EXTEND ACA CREDITS. TOMORROW> Even if they are solid blue/red/ CALL. (And if you are one looking at a new astronomically high premium, share the number)

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Yep, my city had an actual n*zi on the ballot, and he came in dead last. And the three winners are the most progressive on the ballot INDIGO WAVE here. I’m honestly shocked (in a good way!)

The Bangor Daily News projects a loss for Question 1! #mepolitics

Who is going to remind Alan Dershowitz of his promise

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.

The Nazi running for Bangor City Council came in DEAD LAST! Hell yes!

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.
