Here’s an image of all 47 men who were present when the declaration of independence was signed. The 34 men who owned other human beings as slaves are marked with a red dot.

I declare interdependence! Happy fourth.

One more day of this heatwave, beloved. We got this.

Shook one www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Impossible for me to hear how the right wing talks about Haitians or Somalis and not hear, just underneath, them talking about Jews.

Imagine the 250 celebrations we could be having now if this were a socialist democracy rather than a neo-Nazi quasi-dictatorship.

As it is in Jewry

"Your efforts to define them, and me, outside the Jewish community, are dangerously short-sighted. Jews are not made safer by proscribing a particular vision of Israel as the price of full belonging." forward.com/opinion/8355...

As I was saying two years ago… www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Remember a few months back when there were weeks of relentless freezing temperatures and the snow from successive blizzards stuck around until it was utterly blackened and compacted? Well, today felt like 110 on the heat index, and tomorrow is slated to be hotter. Idk it’s probably nothing.

“As a Jewish state” is such a sneaky proviso. No one ever wants to define it. Those in power don’t mean a state realizes the Jewish commitment to welcoming the stranger as one born among us, honoring everyone’s creation in the divine image, upholding the dignity of the poor and beleaguered.

"The future you imagine presumes that the greatest danger facing Jewish life is that Jews will leave Zionism. But it seems to me the real danger is that young Jews will conclude there is no room...inside Jewish institutions unless they silence their conscience." - @bradlander.bsky.social 💯

Politicians who have spent the last thousand days in genocide denial mode are scrambling to course correct ahead of their presidential runs, because they don’t know that such a pathway is simply not available to them. They will learn.

Only flighty activists spend all their time in the world as it should be, holding the world as it is in total contempt. Hacks do the opposite, focusing only on the world as it is, with no regard for how it should be. The job of the organizer is to continually locate, and inhabit, the intersection.

1000 days of killing 1000 days of bombing 1000 days of crimes 1000 days of annihilation 1000 days of burning Gaza 1000 days of hopelessness 1000 days of lost humanity

If the Knicks don’t go back to back it’s because Dolan is a miser

Thank you @tiffanycaban.bsky.social for leading the way on the inside and to @nycprogressives.bsky.social for holding firm.

Tapping the sign

literally one day apart. goldfish would scoff at this lack of object permanence

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...

Still/again desperately sad that the world lost D’Angelo so young

DON'T SAY: "Centrist/Moderate Democrat" ^This frame literally centers them and marginalizes us DO SAY: "Corporate/Wall Street Democrat" ^ This frame describes their narrow interests, mainstreaming us Let’s stop laundering their reputation for them by using their preferred PR speak.

“An Epic Research study published on Friday analyzing electronic health records found that gambling disorder diagnoses have risen more than 60 percent since 2018 in states that have legalized sports betting. The largest increase came from young people, aged 18 to 29, whose rate more than doubled.”

Look, I don’t want Jeffries to be speaker either, but who else do people think is seeking the position??

I think it’s a mistake to see the problem as ‘judicial supremacy’ rather than the Supreme Court as one arm of an eliminationist right wing movement that, like all the other arms, is willing to act aggressively in spite of legality or norms.

Would you believe me if I told you that the vast majority of CPS investigations — undertaken against working class Black families in cases where there is no abuse taking place, just poverty — are every bit as illegitimate as the heinous false report attack Pete Buttigieg and his family endured?

Love the idea that there are millions of everyday people just waiting to be organized in defense of massive corporations, Wall Street banks, genocidal apartheid regimes, and their own lack of healthcare, if only the Democrats invest in organizing them.

Helen Keller was born on Emma Goldman’s 11th birthday??

It is vital that Abdul El-Sayed win the primary and that he and Graham Platner win in the general, so we have an extremely handy retort to the claim that the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party can only win in select deep blue congressional districts, not statewide in purple states.

Balaq, man. What a funky lil parsha.

Tickled to imagine DSA relying on the Democratic Party’s “volunteers.”

Become unmanageable

Crying laughing at this thread. People just asked me what’s wrong with me.

Robin D.G. Kelley recommends three books every radical should read

Ok how about this as a first step? For every article about the mental health crisis among Israelis, of which there are hundreds if not thousands, a given news outlet needs to publish even a sentence, which I can scarcely remember ever reading, about the mental health crisis among Palestinians. Deal?

Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.

[Brad Lander, Eli Northrup, and David Orkin win their races.] Christian Nationalist social media influencer: Check on your Jewish friends today.

Antonio Reynoso may have lost his bid for Congress, but he can take some solace in the fact that the party reform effort he helped spearhead years ago appears to have finally won.

If you consider competing in Democratic primary elections, which enable Democratic voters to nominate Democratic candidates for office, to be tantamount to “blowing up” the Democratic Party, then what are you saying the Democratic Party *is*??

We’re building a powerful Jewish Left in New York. Join us!

If you want to beat DSA’s legions of highly organized, skillful and politically aligned volunteers, then maybe you should develop your own legions of highly organized, skillful and politically aligned volunteers. A redbox and a high-dollar consultancy firm or two isn’t gonna cut it anymore.

This was less than a year ago. Anyone care to refresh my memory about how things went for Team Forceful And Unrelenting on June 23, 2026?

Silly take. If “moderates” (i.e. devotees of the status quo) were any good, why would voters be denying them public office left and right?

I keep seeing NY-10 described as the most Jewish CD in the country, but I don’t know where that designation comes from. Near as I can figure, it was the fourth most Jewish as recently as 2024. www.jewishdatabank.org/databank/sea... Anyone got any insight here?

Congratulations to the young multi-racial coalition of New Yorkers who are demanding better.

I tell you what, if I were @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social or @leaderasc.bsky.social, I would make good and sure than the spring 2027 NY State budget included very, very significant taxes on the rich.

No elected official in NYC, however powerful, is safe if they have committed to genocide denialism and coziness with wealthy interests. Oh you are the leader of a legislative body? Oh you chair an important caucus or committee? Oh a whole slew of local elected officials support you? No matter.

Sean Ryan endorsed India Walton, Chris Scanlon opposed her. Ryan is now Buffalo’s mayor. Jon Rivera supported India Walton, Jeremy Zellner offered only the most reluctant support. Jon is about to take Jeremy’s seat. Adam Bojak was an India Walton super volunteer, not Karen Hoak. Bojak won. Oop!
