In Zohran Mamdani’s New York, the assets of the Red Scare girls and related podcasts will be seized and redistributed to the people.

i love winning, and i especially love it when my enemies lose!!

redownloading Bluesky for one night because I’m intrigued to see what happens to this site when Liberals are actually happy

really interesting piece!

Cat running for office: But we're going to get rid of the humans because they've been treating us very badly. And our bowls will be full in the morning- perhaps fuller than ever before

The polling data is in and Progressives are in the lead - but we still need you to show up at the polls.

This is insane.

incredible read

Incredible

You're absolutely right — starting a land war in Asia wasn't just a bad call, it's 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Thank you for calling me out on that — really. I'll be extra-strategic from now on. Would you like me to get cracking on those 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿?

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road. "Just trying to grab some lunch and these fucking losers showed up. FUCK ICE!" source: www.reddit.com/r/LoganSquar...

I wrote about the disastrous political situation in the US, but also how the inspiring solidarity shown by the Global Sumud Flotilla can show Americans a way forward.

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

WHEN DEFINITIONS ARE READ. For years, I have worked on messaging and communication with organizers, activists, and electeds, and especially with young organizers. We have to say what we mean and mean what we say. It should be clear, relatable, and connected to people's lives.

I don't remember the last time a text held my attention from beginning all the way to the end like this one. @michaelrance.bsky.social www.michaelrance.news/p/dancing-at...

I feel like I've spent today sorting through accusations of this guy being a groyper, only to find that those aren't based on anything. There isn't an indictment yet. The cops haven't handled this better, but seriously—posting without verification makes you no better than the right yelling "antifa."

I've worked on the far-right beat for nearly 10 years now, and I've had to handle sorting through a lot of misinformation on politically motivated violence. And this is by far the worst instance of it, including from a lot of people who should really know better.

hot take, but there should be professional ramifications and a major loss of trust when political figures and even journalists speculate publicly without evidence!

thoughts and prayers to everyone who has to learn what 'Groypers' means for the first time

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

An ICE agent shot and killed someone during a traffic stop in Chicago today: www.wbez.org/immigration/...

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Political commentator Charlie Kirk was just shot in the neck during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

the opposition party

when they hate your writing so much that they kill of the whole program

Sally Rooney: I support Palestine Action. If this makes me a ‘supporter of terror’ under UK law, so be it

It's not an odd thing to say at all. She's describing a recruitment tactic, not passing judgment on their character "They act nice" is not the same as "they are nice" and it's batshit that we're at a point where people cannot tell the difference

I wrote about AFFIRMATIONS / DELUSIONS www.aliciakennedy.news/p/on-affirma...

all between must be profound darkness and nothingness

I like Marisa's work & was one of the ~200+ who signed the 'Substackers against Nazis' letter in 2023. But I'm really frustrated at how their analysis (which is good) leads to bluesky readers punishing working class writers on the Left who still write on the platform.

A hundred thousand people were killed by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on this day, in 1945. The following year, in a landmark piece, John Hersey reported on how six survivors experienced the event and its aftermath. nyer.cm/lsrB5Gi #NewYorkerArchives

Our flâneur president is exploring the psychogeography of the White House in the context of its urban environment but go off

Yes, I signed the 'Substack against Nazis' letter in late 2023, then left and joined Beehiiv out of solidarity. It was TERRIBLE. Lost tons of readers, many subscribers never received emails. I think bigger writers on Ghost/etc have incentives to say that their moves were seamless. Mine wasn't!

The Substack app apparently push alert promoted a Nazi newsletter to several users. Users have complained about it on Substack Notes but the company hasn’t responded. Generally push alert promos are for content a user is likely to interact with

i'm intrigued to see how the Democrats find a way to fumble the Trump & Epstein stuff!

is there, like, a way i can livestream die walküre at bayreuth this year

Would that I could keep squeezing that sperm for ever!

yup :/

i love it when the Left wins :) i think the Left should win all the time actually

god damn this feels amazing

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants
