A kind review from @niemanlab.org of our election night livestream, which you can still view here: www.youtube.com/live/fKA4Vpk...

That's murder.

My RCV take: It’s not preventing Minneapolis progressives from achieving desired city-wide results. It is actually showing that progressives are close even when not winning. And it’s affirming something about the electorate that we don’t understand, can’t accept, or don’t know what to do about.

it’s not just money or good social media or even great politics—though great politics certainly help. it is people talking to other people. it is listening. it is pounding the pavement. empowering people to be the campaign. real organizing.

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Better than the original "Cuomo: Need to Go"

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

“I hope every woman who has ever faced an abuser like Cuomo knows she doesn’t have to be ashamed, she doesn’t have to hide. Because we will beat these monsters. New Yorkers said “no more” to Andrew Cuomo, and that is just remarkable.” indypendent.org/2025/07/we-w...

I expect to see Schumer's resignation letter on my desk in the morning.

This candidate was also a former Governor of New York, and also the son of a Governor of New York. Just completely inexplicable.

“Three men in black vests entered a NY restaurant claiming to be ICE agents. Inside, they tied a worker’s hands and pulled a garbage bag over the person’s head. Another, believing the burglars’ story, surrendered themselves, only to be kicked to the ground and tied up as the intruders robbed an ATM”

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

I’m scared, you guys. Zohran Mamdani was hitting up gay bars, takings pictures with drag queens, and he was also seen dancing in a club to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” Is this the Sharia everyone’s talking about? Glittered Burkas? Go out and VOTE, New York City. ZM for the WIN!

Broadview, IL ICE facility where hundreds of police and federal agents are gathered rn to oppose demonstrators.

The ceasefire continues according to virtually every media outlet. Israel is demolishing entire neighbourhoods in Gaza to make sure Palestinians never go back. The genocide is ongoing

Heading to the polls this weekend? Confused about the ballot measures regarding affordable housing? We've got you covered. Here's a comprehensive guide to propositions 2, 3, and 4 to help you make an informed decision about the future of housing in NYC. hellgatenyc.com/nyc-housing-...

more and more people are saying it

Western governments preferred to break the world, destroy every institution that uplifted human rights in some capacity, just so they didnt have to extend those human rights to us. Think about that.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

ICE Out of Home Depot! @ndlon.bsky.social Sat, Nov 1, 11am–1pm Home Depot 550 Hamilton Ave Brooklyn "in honor of all the workers who have been kidnapped by ICE on Home Depot properties. Join us in a day of action + make your voice heard. Tell Home Depot: ICE Out!" www.mobilize.us/ndlon/event/...

In NYC, recess sometimes looks like preschoolers excitedly waiting for the Franklin Avenue Shuttle to pass underneath them.

I thought this was metaphorical hyperbole but, alas, no. The Department of Energy is selling off more than 40,000 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium from the Cold War arsenal to nuclear reactor startups. All of which I’m sure will be thoroughly vetted and monitored by…their former board member.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

[I added the amNY story to the thread because Dean Moses photographs can't be beat. Nice headline too.] ICE Conducts Raid on Chinatown’s Canal Street, Multiple People Detained as New Yorkers Rage

Anthony DiLorenzo: PIX-11 was tipped about ICE raid. NYers react: "People just stopped in their tracks. People were going to school. People were coming home from work or just commuting. And stopped to scream at these ICE agents. Pulled out their phones started recording and telling them to leave."

ICE just escalated NYC enforcement in the most visible possible way: sweeping in and arresting immigrant vendors on Canal Street, where tourists have forever flocked to buy knockoff designer handbags.

y’all I’m going to be real, the workers at the biggest music venues in DC are trying to unionize we need IMP the parent company to recognize voluntarily that won’t happen without noise please, bluesky, do what u do best @930club.bsky.social @theatlantisdc.bsky.social @theanthemdc.bsky.social

Amazing, powerful, peaceful #NOKINGS march in Manhattan. We had 500 people turn out for our families crew- so grateful to all the parents and caregivers showing up today and everyday for all kids. #nokingsnyc #handsoffnyc

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

for active military or if you know someone in the military: “The Orders Project is a non-partisan program created by the National Institute for Military Justice to assist military personnel in understanding their options when faced with orders they believe may not be legal.” www.nimj.org/top.html#/

I think about this a lot. 99% of people walking in the Twin Cities at any given time are walking their dogs or walking to their car.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck. "I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!" Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door. Hoffman Estates, Illinois

“As the formerly western democratic nation fell into authoritarianism, major media began treating the deceit of the fascist regime as it were simply a ‘different perspective’ from the actual daily reality of the people, and so became a key tool for strengthening the regime’s grip over the nation”

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Solidarity!

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

A reporter at that notorious leftist rag, The Economist. 👇🏼

The creepiest part of Ezra' Kleins present spiel is that his mind can't separate fascist LEADERS (Kirk, Ben Shapiro), whom one should shun, from ordinary citizens seduced by them, to be engaged as neighbors, even if deplorable. A genuine elite derangement.

Joining my neighbors to walk for and DEMAND a Lyndale that serves people, transit, and our local communities over archaic views that prioritize single occupancy vehicles!

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away. A completely needless tragedy.

As everyone else has noted, the ice stuff is just going to get worse and the dem plan of ignoring it isn't going to get better

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

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

✊Today, hundreds of New Yorkers shut down the streets surrounding 26 Federal Plaza to make it clear that they will not stay silent as ICE commits violent & unlawful actions against our immigrant communities. Join us today at 6PM at Foley Square to demand #ICEOutofNY!

While NYPD officers are bound by New York City’s sanctuary city policies, Amtrak Police are federal officers who do not have to abide by those protections even when working inside of the city.

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"
