I cannot emphasize enough how much Zohran Mamdani's campaign was very much about a platform focused on accountability, but also about having fun, fostering genuine connections with its citizens, and reminding people why they moved to New York City and should still want to live there

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

So the one to 25,000 bad apples in the NYPD are "self-deporting?" What a great way to weed out the most prejudiced assholes. Congratulations, New York City!

Um, @variety.com? That’s…not what that means. 😳 variety.com/2025/music/n...

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Why did they delete the bus centipede 🥺

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

This is what we should be attending to, not propping up and perpetuating fossil fuels. #climateaction

In case you needed even MORE evidence how bad at business and the economy Trump and right-wing ideologues are.

What was once a Gray Lady is now a Trad Wife.

Look I get publishing a broad spectrum of opinions but I already fed them this morning

Just so y’all know how rough it is for the working poor: a QUARTER of my annual gross income will be dedicated to health insurance next year. I make about $42k, gross. My monthly payment went from approximately $200 to $500, deductible went from $2k to $5k.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

That wasn’t in district 9. After a pedestrian was killed by a driver in Bernal, she hosted a community meeting, sent a strong letter to Mayor Lurie and departments demanding action, and is hosting a followup meeting Nov 17. static1.squarespace.com/static/65023...

He's also the reason this building in his district is 2 stories taller and will house 40 more households than the original proposal

Great reporting. Thanks

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

People who hate Zohran and everything he stands for: Now that Zohran has won, the most effective thing he can do is betray all of his principles

that’s the thing republikkklans seem to understand SO much better than democrats numbers are absolutely meaningless to a magat just throw any damn fool number out there about anything & the qbots will believe it like the holy word of the jeebus they don’t even understand the CONCEPT of numbers

The Combat, 1939, by Leslie Gilbert Illingworth (1902–1979).

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

“Magic Sandwich?”

I seem to recall that there is a strong desire to reestablish the (billionaire TechBro/VC lead) aristocracy. (A population perhaps highly numerate but lacking historical context)

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

I yearn for a political party where not endorsing Mamdani while praising Dick Cheney gets you automatically booted out

Well have you? If not, here's where: zohranfornyc.com/vote

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Sign the petition to give us a voice in whether robocars are allowed in our cities!

This can be us when we have a well-funded social housing developer in SF and legalize single-staircase buildings!

One of those projects that I happily supported with a small donation. Please consider pitching in a little if you can.

Somewhere in China, a mother is reminding her child to finish their supper because there's poor starving children in America.

The UAW made history last year by organizing a Southern auto plant for the first time since the 1940s. They might do so again, after authorizing a strike at the VW plant. It takes enormous courage to fight for your rights on the job in a hostile environment. Solidarity.

I don't know how many #candidates running as #Democats, or their #consultants, see or care about posts here, but: Your excessive use of SMS to fundraise, reaching out to people who have no idea who you are, has become a major annoyance. I am now blocking and reporting as spam any such messages.

What could go wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy Halloween everyone. #WorldBollardAssociation 👻

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

It’s common sense to proactively address/mitigate climate change. It’s common sense to reduce pollution, emissions and particulates in cities. It’s common sense to proactively cool cities, quiet cities, clean cities. It’s common sense to move more people in less space and with lower public costs.

As food banks step in to address the crime of aggravated impoverishment from this regime, reminder that money goes a much longer way than canned goods. They have extraordinary purchasing power and can do way more with a dollar than we can at a store.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Heading into the Dark Ages, full speed ahead

I need to see this map! Give us the map! Map! Map! Map!

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.
