This is really good, check it out.

BREAKING: 30 more Starbucks locations are joining the strike. Starbucks workers in 25 cities are jumping into the week-long strike. Now @sbworkersunited.org members at 95 stores in 65 cities have walked off the job.

This touches on the problem of being on the top of any pyramid: followers, income, intelligence, political power, everything. As you scale towards the summit the ground state - what is normal - receeds faster than you grasp. Social media could improve this algorithmically but doesn't.

Preventing all car fatalities or giving healthcare to everyone would save roughly the same number of lives each year. The perfect encapsulation of the USA.

It's rare for me to read a trump headline that raises. I guess I gotta learn to expect more awful.

Showing that no one that "defected" is up in 2026 highlights the unity of the DNC. None of these people are defectors, these are the designated villains. These are the people executing the will of the leaders of the democratic party.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I love klippenstein for his consistency. A fair reading to call this a loss for Mamdani. Also, possible to see why it could be that Mamdani did this both strategically and/or from personal belief. Our heroes don't need to be flawless or win every battle. But we do need to hold them accountable.

Nothing like listening to an old play list and rediscovering a song you love but had totally forgotten about.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation. If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

The 5 things I will miss most about New York when I move back to the suburbs next week. by Andrew Cuomo

Amazing how much terrible Cuomo packs into 60 seconds. Too much to list everything. Adore former governor & son of a former governor talking about Mamdani's parents owning a mansion in Uganda. Cuomo knows people have a problem with wealth but thinks that doesn't apply to him.

88-year-old congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton is suffering from dementia, says police report filed after she was allegedly scammed out of $4,400

Just disgusting.

odd how aoc, a bartender that decided to run for congress and is now one of the informal leaders of the party, never gets described as working class by the pundit class

Truly a master class in how not to do it. What's confounding is I am not certain *why* it is so bad. Something about the delivery, the tone of voice, the word choice, the person. I just know it doesn't work.

The capitalist in me wants to find out which city had the largest protest. The socialist in me knows that ranking each other is only done to divide us. #NoKings

Again, one of the thing that I love is that for every person that comes out there is a huge number that agree but didn't make it out for some reason. If you didn't make it out you know someone that did. And that person knows a *bunch* of people that agree with them but didn't make it out.

Coming back from the #NoKings rally, somebody driving by me sees my sign and says, "Hail Donald Trump!" I loved it. All my friends are liberal. I am far far, far left. It is nice being reminded that some people have been poisoned and can not see their how far they have fallen.

Being at a #NoKings rally is great because not only are therw so many people, I know that for every person I see there are 20 friends that didn't make it out

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

“I know I make people feel uncomfortable! That’s my entire brand.” Climate Defiance interrupting a Cuomo presser in the best possible way.

But that’s no excuse for not showing up. Show up to a protest on the 18th. It’s a way to stand up and be counted for the proposition that what these people are doing to your country is not right, not acceptable.

The Onion had a post about NSPM-7 before The New York Times did lmao THE ONION! theonion.com/what-to-know...

I really like this thread because it expresses informed caution regarding Zohran's staff reflecting zohran future agenda as mayor. Zohran is unquestionably the best choice for mayor but that doesn't mean we won't have to hold him accountable once he is elected.

His plans make Bernie and AOC look like shills for billionaires.

Stephen Miller: "ICE officers have to street battle against Antifa, hand to hand combat every night."

For those lucky enough to not know this is a neo-Nazi meme normally found on TRS and the Daily Stormer being shared by the official DHS account.

To understand the chaos in Chicago, here are some must-follows: @unraveledpress.com @thetriibe.com @blockclubchi.bsky.social @chicago.suntimes.com @katmabu.bsky.social @bencollins.bsky.social @dansinker.com @wttw.bsky.social

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Watch ICE illegally arrested Chicago Alderman Jessie Fuentes inside a hospital emergency room—simply for asking them to show a warrant for a man they detained.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

I really welcome creative thinking like this. Because SIMPLY expanding the court won't be enough.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Charlie Kirk practiced antisemitism the right way. by Bari Weisd

Tuesday 9/16: ICE Breaker - Rally for Immigrant Rights

For decades America has suffered, just like your average billionaire, from being the wealthiest, most powerful country on the planet. Just like Musk et al. America benefited massively from just existing, without being required to give anything back. Being humbled by fate always hurts.

This is your weekly reminder that Henry Kissinger is dead

Wow, wait until @stephenm discovers this *left wing* organization advocating mass killing. Glad Stephen and Laura are calling for outlets like this to be defunded. Bring on the IRS investigation!!!

I would watch the hell out of a straight to Netflix ”Kash and Dan investigate” starring, let’s say, Kal Penn and Jesse Plemons portraying the hijinks of two totally unprepared meatheads running an investigation in Utah and getting into zany adventures

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.
