During his first term Cuomo chose education cuts over taxing the rich and refused to abide by a court mandated equitable school funding. So sure, let’s make this election about education

For anyone who wants to learn more about this from our co-founders @prisonculture.bsky.social and @dreanyc123.bsky.social, on how the push to "reform" the police was always going to pour even more resources INTO policing, and why it's still defund + abolish the police, they wrote a book about it:

An iron law of reactionary thinking: when they are in a weak position vis a vis an institution, they demand fairness; when they gain power, fairness goes out the window. Which is to say: once the reactionaries take over higher eduction, liberal voices will be eliminated.

Eric Adams‘ election never ceases to embarrass me, but the opening to this reminds me that the media overlooked his obvious flaws because they wanted to push a story that voters rejected defund the police www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Van Hollen seems to be one of the few Dems who understands the seriousness of this moment and the importance of capturing attention/visibly fighting back. I just wish he had more rizz

Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department. Violent crime is at a 50-year low. This is amazing. www.inquirer.com/news/camden-...

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other, we have nothing to lose but our chains” Assata Shakur, To My People, 1973

On its face Hegseths decision can feel just idiotic but whitewashing history so that the homeland can do no wrong is deeply fascist

This is unsurprising and means that "fund the police" Dems essentially created the hiring pipeline for ICE. This is what @prisonculture.bsky.social @dreanyc123.bsky.social and others have been trying to explain to us...

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

Again, this is a broad coalition of people across the ideological spectrum whose top concern is making sure everyone rues and laments the “Woke Times” forever. It’s very much akin to the myths around “Negro misrule” in Reconstruction, which justified Jim Crow.

"Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Wednesday he will join Italy in sending a military warship to protect an international flotilla seeking to deliver aid to Gaza after it was attacked by drones off Greece." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

Let’s take care of each other over the next 40 days

"The Lefts can't get their act together..." Bitch they've been killing, imprisoning, and targeting leftists and leftist orgs FOR GENERATIONS.

Found a stopped clock. But I agree with Cruz. That shit is dangerous as hell. Maybe you should fucking do something about it then dude. You’re only a senator.

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

One also might consider that there's no such thing as 'winning' when half the population aren’t considered full human beings.

In 2022, Kansas voters *overwhelmingly* defeated an anti-abortion ballot measure. Ohio voters passed an abortion rights amendment in 2023. And Missouri? You guessed it! Voters passed Amendment 3 this past November. So no, we don't need 'pro-life Democrats' to win.

Shaun King backing up Tucker Carlson that Jews killed Jesus. It is important to state this bluntly (I should actually write a piece about it): Antisemitism is close to getting mainstream. One thing preventing it on the right is Trump's support of Israel, but Carlson and others are pushing it.

"Italy’s grassroots unions, which represent hundreds of thousands of people ranging from schoolteachers to metalworkers, called for a 24-hour general strike...long delays for national trains and limited public transport in major cities, including Rome." apnews.com/article/ital...

Some pundits praise Erika Kirk for her forgiveness, calling it an example for all. This is witless. One needn’t question the *sincerity* of her statements to do the basic work of reading public politics as such, by asking “what does *she* mean? What do her followers hear?”

Happy Refusal to Memorialize a Hateful Shithead Day to all who celebrate!

A government that stops tracking food insecurity and hunger in its population is a government that intends people to suffer and die. Article gifted. www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

What happens to stories about Palestine in U.S. newsrooms? Building on @laubast.bsky.social investigation, we invite you to join us for “Killing the Story” on Oct. 7 to discuss the experiences of U.S. journalists covering the genocide in Gaza. Register for the event: tinyurl.com/killingthestory

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

Punch Up is organizing poor and working class white men with a commitment to multiracial solidarity. The most recent episode of their podcast Dishonor takes a look at Randall Smith and his vulture capital firm Alden Global Capital who are evicting people from their homes to get richer

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

The democrats believe they are going to end fascism by asking questions really hard and doing better theater. They are deeply unserious and not up to the fight we are in.

Jay Jacobs actually cost National Democrats the House and he's STILL in power, LOLOLOLOL

It's ironic that the people most responsible for getting us to this moment are now like "oh this is too far for me." very strange.

We should all be clear that this administration and national elite are absolutely determined to make sure that moral action and intellectual rigor are economically and socially penalized. Their goal is to make traditional "success" literally inaccessible to moral and intellectually-engaged people.

It still blows my mind that regular people are trying to crowd fund and use social media to save loved ones, friends, and strangers from a genocide. We're living through (yet another) total institutional failure.

Okay Kathy, we get it. You and Zohran don't agree on everything.

No, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, New Yorkers are asking why NY electeds who claim to be Democratic “leadership” are getting lapped by a Maryland Senator. Jeffries and Schumer look weaker and less relevant every day they don’t endorse the Democratic nominee for Mayor over a sex pest and a crook.

I really just think it's class and racial solidarity at work. They see themselves in him and they do not have solidarity with his targets.

The "fuck your feelings" crew is suddenly INSISTING that everyone demonstrate their "feelings" publicly. lol.

If you are an educator, parent, or caregiver looking for information on how to talk to kids following a traumatic event, we have resources for you.

@jeffsharlet.bsky.social on @democracynow.org: "Kirk did not practice politics in the right way. He boasted of fomenting the J6 insurrection. As I said, he called for televised executions. He used the most vile language. He practiced a McCarthyism on campuses. This is not free speech."

Screenshot from Democracy Now!, citing DOJ's National Institute of Justice re domestic terrorism in the USA: "Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives."

"Throughout my career I’ve maintained that people in positions of power must be required to ask of themselves: Who am I not hearing from? Then make it their business to seek those folks out." - Kamala Harris I think the leaders of the Uncommitted movement would beg to differ. archive.is/YQDar

George Floyd’s killing in 2020 set off a “racial reckoning” in journalism. News outlets sought out DEI trainings, formed internal committees, and created roles focused on race, diversity, and equality. In 2025, we wanted to know: What happened to those efforts? www.niemanlab.org/2025/09/from...

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

Today's reminder that building power for our causes means building the power of our organizations. Mazal tov, JFREJ 🎉

New Demand Progess Action poll in NYC - Brad Lander would lead Rep. Dan Goldman by 18 points if he challenged him in the Dem primary. AIPAC toxic in the district, AOC/Mamdani far more popular than Jeffries/Schumer www.semafor.com/article/09/1...
