I hate Chuck Schumer with the white-hot passion of a thousand suns.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

SO DON’T SELL US OUT NOW

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

if it turns out Democrats “negotiated” a “deal” that allows DONALD TRUMP to SEND OUT CHECKS WITH HIS NAME ON THEM I think we would have to seriously investigate the possibility that chuck schumer is a GOP manchurian candidate and the code word that activates him is “ballroom”

If these 8 democrats do this, I hope they experience the most miserable primary campaigns in history www.politico.com/live-updates...

FIGHT FOR US! DO NOT CAVE! Don't end shutdown without iron clad concessions to protect our healthcare. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @gallego.senate.gov

I'm legitimately confused about the play here. No person who now is going to go without coverage in the ACA is going to just blame the GOP. They will rightly blame the Democrats too. Dems won't get "points" for "fighting" if they cave. It makes little sense.

omfg, this is so fucking dumb. it's a total cave. cash in a health savings account IS NOT THE SAME as insurance coverage!

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Any Democrat who was holding out over SNAP but is now going to cave over corporate air travel needs to be primaried. And Schumer needs to lose his job.

Peter Coviello isn't on Bluesky, but this definitely should be: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

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.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has announced that $62 Million will be released to ensure full November SNAP benefits for the people of his state. That’s the kind of leadership I want to see. 💙👊

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.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Andrew Cuomo has PERSONAL WEALTH IN THE MILLIONS. Zohran Mamdani is NOT personally a millionaire. Hope this helps.

Complicity of liberal institutions with the crackdown on student protest paved the way for the crisis of academia. To defend our work we must sever the link with the security state. Come join us at U of C tomorrow, where we will discuss how to confront the hiring of the inveterate liar John Kirby.

God knows how many times this has happened: Zero. Much like Vance lying about Haitian immigrants eating people's pets, this is 100% racist bullshit being spewed by an unabashed white nationalist. Congrats to everyone who patronizes the Nazi bar he runs.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

They better not go and shake that man’s hand while he’s kidnapping folks from the community that made them

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

“Let them eat cake!” It’s day 31 of the government shutdown and Trump is hosting a fancy expensive Halloween party when 42 million Americans are about to lose their SNAP. This is a perfect example of the bloated rich excess of the billionaire class

Yikes! This is fake news. More trans kids felt safe to come out, now they don't. Government's are painting a target on the back of trans kids backs, forcing them tk stay in the closet. www.wsj.com/opinion/evid...

Biden admin: eggs expensive Trump admin: eggs under armed guard

i do think vance is mostly just regurgitating the half remembered ideas of dead slaveholder extremists but also this gives off the unmistakable scent of “i’ll say whatever you hogs want me to say,” which is fitting coming from america’s premier hogman

Pete Hegseth just murdered more people and we have to take his word for it that they deserved it.

I really like how Zohran Mamdani has run a campaign that is so focused on making New York City a safe (including from the fascism of our current federal government) and affordable place for all its residents, and I am really appalled by how racist so much of the opposition to his candidacy has been.

We now have legal fees on top of our campaign expenses. You can help us stand up to the Trump administration by chipping in here: katforillinois.com/legal

I realize this isn't breaking news but it's insane that voting has begun and Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — is straight-up refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor, whose opponent is an alleged serial sexual abuser funded by Trump-allied billionaires

Your dad's cousin is your aunt. I am from a family of plain boring white people and my kids call my wife's cousins who live around here and they see all the time "aunt/uncle." This is not even some "see, in other cultures," thing this is just a total normal thing they are presenting as scandalous

It’s past time to upgrade the criticism of @nytimes.com leadership from “sanewashing” to “democracywashing”. “Democracy-washing”: When news journalists / editors / media orgs present the news distorting the reality the US is no longer operating as constitutional democracy with rule of law.

I honestly don't think the NY Times has been this bad in my lifetime, it's deeply shameful.

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

New Yorkers: please vote!!!! Cuomo went all-in on racism in the final 2 weeks because he's got nothing else. And as we've seen, that's a very effective motivator.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him. And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it. But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

No, man, Republicans are in charge of the government. Do you think Democrats are the ones who keep telling the House to stay on vacation week after week in order to prevent the release of the Epstein Files? Because I'm pretty positive that's *you* who's been doing that.

THIS!!!!

Good morning. It's been 34 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

He’s just going to make things up to try and stay in power, like all fascist authoritarians do. We will not abide it.

As a closing argument, Cuomo reminds New York City voters that he palpably hates New York City
