We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

Yes, House Republicans: these times, as anyone can see through the reporting below, clearly demand another ritual condemnation of socialism.

Another simple zine test. Looking at different types of 8x10 folds & techniques but want to keep it super simple

Finally, Magic the Gathering quit congress.

She’s resigning to spend more time yelling racial and ethnic slurs at cashiers

@dansinker.com we’ve got graphic whistle cards that work great when you don’t have a common language with all your neighbors. And lightens translation loads on very diverse neighborhoods. We punch a hole and put it on a key ring. tinyurl.com/FCDWhistle

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation seems to be throwing some shade at ICE.

"We Ratbaits—heirs to the Ratbait Speedway, Vaping, & Fireworks fortunes—are thankful for our many blessings. But we recognize the freedoms and prosperity that flowed forth from Plymouth Rock were distributed unevenly and came at a monstrous cost."

ICE goons entered a woman’s home without a warrant, guns out, terrorizing her and her two children. The man they were looking for didn’t live at the house. www.fox5ny.com/news/ice-rai...

In Louisville at a medical debt fundraiser punk show and they got a band with two drummers and a saxophone and I am delighted to inform you that it “rips”

EDITORIAL: Trump's savage call for executing Dem vets in Congress warrants impeachment ‘His behavior is not only reducing the presidency to a treacherous farce, he is rapidly dragging the Republican Party down with him’ sentinelcolorado.com/opinion/edit... #ImpeachTrump #Sedition #Pentagon

Stay and fight the man you now know is evil? “Nah. I’ma check out like the punk you always knew I was.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Checking in on the house majority like

Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress "I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026”

And just like that… we’ve moved on from him threatening Democratic congresspeople with sedition and death.

Not for nothing but the “bromance” stuff is as made up cope as anything else. I haven’t heard a clip of Mamdani saying anything other than “I appreciated the invitation to discuss things with him” and agreeing that he called him a fascist

BREAKING: Justice Alito has temporarily blocked the Texas redistricting court's order, effectively restoring the newly drawn map, while the Supreme Court considers the petition. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

this is your brain when your entire politics is just a set of aesthetics

In other news, I recommend today's Daily Podcast, about the parents of a trans girl who just had to flee Tennessee for Connecticut in order to protect her. The parents are both Southerners and ministers, and had idea what "trans" was until they had to learn. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Hilariously, THIS is what will get them to finally crack open the 25th Amendment.

Five hours apart

SCHUMER: I rolled a one JEFFRIES: I rolled a one MAMDANI Fuck <FLUTE TRILL> So I'm gonna bring it all myself HEY

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

BUS RIDES IN CITES SHOULD BE FREE.

BREAKING: Federal judge rejects DOJ's effort to subpoena the names and medical records of children who have received gender-affirming medical care from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One thing that works well for Zohran Mamdani is that he is maybe the most relentlessly on message politician I have ever seen.

Someday you, too, could have the moral fortitude to look upon a years-long rape circus organized by the nation's most powerful elites and declare, "The people upset about this are speaking about it the wrong way."

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

KILMEADE: ”I think JD Vance is jealous. I think the president wants to use Zohran as a running mate.”

New meme format just dropped:

Mamdani going in there calling Trump sir a couple times and singing the 1-800-588-EMPIRE jingle with him and effortlessly turning him into a committed socialist.

"Would you feel comfortable living in New York City under a Mamdani administration?" Trump: "I would" Ackman just started throwing up and crying.

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner

Socialism won

I was expecting a Showdown with Socialism.

I’m headed to the Chicago Star Trek convention and I’m bringing some of these shirts to give away, along with flyers that will link folks to more of @reforest-kelley.bsky.social’s artwork and some organizing resources.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer. Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Shot + chaser

Currently at a medical office and there is a player piano playing In Bloom. Living a very surreal Gen X life.

Democrats need to join Republicans on a resolution condemning the Boogeyman. Boogeymen are scary!

Socialism is anyone they don’t like doing anything that they’re not a fan of

Citing financial strain attributed to changes in enrollment, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago laid off 20 workers last week, including three of the five positions in the Video Data Bank.
