Looks like we’re going to war. I didn’t vote for this, did you?

The meeting between New York City mayor elect Zohran Mamdani and Donald Trump did not go according to plan, according to a biographer.

REVERSE-LC clinical trial update: I had a good 3-4 weeks followed by increasing symptoms and fatigue. I'm certain I'm on 4 mg of baricitinib bc I've needed extra labs. I've now lost 10% kidney function 😬 so dropping to 2 mg. I know we'll crack this thing, but long covid is really hard

This is an important thread to read. I wrote a Substack piece on the technological pipeline that backs this: open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Chris Murphy: "This is potentially the biggest scandal in presidential history ... I'm sure they are meeting in the White House right now trying to decide how they can get around complying with the law."

Several Chicago newsrooms spent two months collecting and analyzing evidence of ICE & Border Patrol's use of tear gas and pepper spray in Chicago. They found that agents deployed chemical agents nearly 50 times. Most uses occurred after a judge ordered federal agents to restrict their use.

😂👌💯

In principle, I couldn’t agree more. However, I don’t think we’re redundancy is a simple answer. I think these essential services need to be federalized.

Software utilities, I think, must be treated the same way: regulated (including price) and operated under oversight. Otherwise, they're just a robber-baron monopoly with a stranglehold on the economy. 4/5

I can’t believe how fucked up this is. It’s so anti-human I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy had bodies buried underneath his garden planters.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

BREAM: Can you not swear in Adelita Grijalva, though? MIKE JOHNSON: There is a precedent for doing a pro forma session swearing in, but we are not engaging in regular business right now

New in PN: The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter intimidation "If Hispanic voters are no longer in the GOP fold after watching Trump’s ceaseless, country-wide violence against immigrants, the administration’s solution is to make sure they can’t cast a ballot."

Happening now: ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard who targeted criminals is out...replaced by Border Patrol loyalists and Bovino’s “Midway Blitz” crew. This isn’t reform. It’s a power grab. Shit just got more real.

“Republicans are clearly making the calculation that Democrats, who have refused to give up their demand for the extension of the premium tax credit to stop dramatic hikes in the cost of healthcare premiums, will cave when America falls into a hunger crisis. What are we doing here, folks?”

The AWS incident made one thing clear, according to Samir Elabed, a cybersecurity engineer: “It shows us that we rely so much on one provider, which is in terms of business planning, I would say, no, we can’t do that anymore.” @briannamonsanto.bsky.social reports. www.itbrew.com/stories/2025...

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

I never thought I’d see the day where Nazi’s aren’t in hiding. Here’s to JD Vance outing the whole crew, including himself.

People like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk aren’t tech creators — they’re tech colonizers. Rich white men who used privilege and capital to seize an industry built by real innovators, exploiting the minds and labor of creators while branding themselves as “visionaries.” #Pinks

RFK Jr. made a greatest hits record. Here is but a small taste of his grand genius.

I’m really happy there is a “cease fire” in Gaza. Now we need to drag Bibi’s ass to The Hague for the genocide. And everyone else involved.

Agree. Agree. Agree.

Nearly 50 news and media organizations have signed an amicus brief supporting AP in the ongoing legal case over White House press access. storage.courtlistener.com/rec...

Sometimes you make something so stupid you have to share it. Here is Stephen Millers origin story. Behold the beginning of pure evil.

Attorney General Pam Bondi drew reactions from those watching her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, when, instead of answering specific questions from Democrats, she turned to attack them personally.

Good morning. In case you missed it yesterday, Albertans are pissed. And some 40k of us showed up across the province, on the eve of an historic teacher’s strike, to let this government know just how pissed we are. Bravo, Alberta. Give ‘em hell. #ableg #cdnpoli #yeg #yyc

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism. 🧵

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

[quietly, in a hushed voice, hyperaware that Greta Thunberg's gambit here is deliberately exploiting establishment media's infantilization of her to amplify the visibility of the whole thing] she's an adult woman with almost a decade of activism cred though
