New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

🤡🤡🤡

It's righteous to castigate the House for being out, and the Epstein aspect of the self-imposed vacation is clear, but I know what bills they vote for when they're in, and so... I'm fine with it?

What does @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's breakthrough victory in New York signal for the Left? Join @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social and @profwolff.bsky.social as they unpack the political earthquake shaking America’s political establishment. Hosted by Mehran Khalili. LIVE Tuesday, Nov 11 @ 17:00 CET

I have no idea what it would look like, so hard to say. Trump doesn't have authority to do it unilaterally, but that won't stop him.

Control of the media is about 1000 times more important than campaign finance reform, but progressives have been almost completely asleep on the issue. See my interview with Milo Vassallo, ex. director of the Media and Democracy Project prod.cdn.everyaction.com/emails/van/E...

They really hate mass transit. Even if driverless cars lived up to everything they promised... they're still fucking expensive.

Almost everything a driverless car does transit can do better with the added benefit of not having to think about your car.

New Yorkers took Tuesday night to celebrate Zohran Mamdani’s win, but organizers say it’s not time to rest yet. “There’s too much to do. We’re facing the National Guard, and ICE.” From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: trib.al/3V7zJyk

The Supreme Court's conservatives have upheld the Trump administration's discriminatory policy barring transgender and nonbinary people from identifying with their preferred gender on their passports.

I gotta say, I’m seeing the most Live Laugh Love women I went to all girls high school with in Ohio posting anti-ICE Instagram reels and demanding people pay attention to the threat of fascism

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

I was acting as a union member and concerned employee when I questioned Stan Duncan, well within my legal rights. I don't love pointing to my identity, but the company saying that I was behaving "aggressively" when I was calmly asking questions feels like a clear transphobic dog whistle.

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

ive looked at the data and crunched the numbers and the only way to beat china is if you give me all of your money

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

Seems that 'let them eat cake' has moved to 'let them eat shit'. Why is this ok? Why does anyone want this?

About once a year/once every other year The Economist does an aggressively racist/anti-Black edition and it's like everyone forgets in the interim. They get away with it because the no byline thing means you can't rage against a person.

we should encourage Republicans to keep telling us that prices are down. After all, most voters don't have dementia.

I don’t really want to hear defeatism from people who don’t live in the U.S. or who have already left. We’ve got fighting to do and a democracy to save.

Tuesday was a big day—a sign that the American people aren’t so willing to accept what Trump is doing. Yes, the president is a fascist. Yes, the administration is authoritarian. Yes, they’re breaking the law. But we have to stop them here. There’s nowhere on earth that’s not at risk if we fail.

For as cynical as I often am about our politics, as critical as I am of both major parties, and as aware as I am about our history, I still believe in Americans. In our aspirational principles. Maybe I’m a pollyanna, but that belief motivates me.

I don't know how to explain to you but going into someone's mentions and telling them their country sucks generates an automatic block. Especially if I've lived in your country and know the ways your country sucks that you paper over.
