Jan 30 Streetphotojournalism The Critical Mass Seattle cyclists group gathered in Seattle’s Westlake shopping district to ride for #alexpretti. Cyclists around the country are joining to ride tonight. Alex Pretti was an avid cyclist in his off time.

Kinda reveals how Weiss was able to rise so high and so fast despite being an objective mediocrity - she simply tapped into a huge network of elite pedophiles and signalled that she could help them!

The figures here also show that 7% of all child suicides were trans children. That compares with trans children making up only 1% of the population. Trans kids are seven times as likely to die by suicide as cis kids and all this government can do is make things worse and cover these figures up.

Cosmopolitan asks Sydney Sweeney if she ever intends to publicly state her political beliefs: “No. I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics." Also Sydney Sweeney:

y'all I know its Friday but this is the first time we've really ever seen Trump ease the renewable permitting freeze like ever please read & share if you'd like

Tucker Carlson: "Saudi Arabia [...] is kind of a weirdly free place.” Hillary Clinton: "The example that the kingdom is setting for the right kind of development [...] that is a very strong model for other parts of the world" Quotes from a real estate conference in Riyadh

It's about trade-offs. A leftist running for state legislature is 180x more likely to win on a Dem ballot line than Green. It is valuable to criticize Dems. That's a bit easier when you're outside the party. Is that difference valuable enough to sacrifice any shot at state-level electoral power?🧵

Adam is right that centrist Democrats have failed us. But Adam is wrong to think the Green Party can save us. Why? Because The Green Party Almost Always Loses 🧵

but there's absolutely this circle of special politics knowers who have found a way for well over two years now on this website of rationalizing and lionizing every failure of the party. Actually existing campism but it's for dem mediocrity. And you know it because the goalposts never stop moving.

that said, I think a lot of people jump into these conversations totally confused at the parameters and so there's a bunch of stupid friendly fire going on because of even dumber petty grievances and ambiguous ideological grudges (very stupid and worth calling out in-of-itself but different)

As much as I actually dislike using liberal as a pejorative for a laundry list of reasons, this is an actually-existing-form of liberalism deserving of a pejorative imo. Whatever this is, it dresses itself up in the drabs of hard nosed Republicanism etc but it's actually just consumerist politics.

Zohran is going to be a fascinating test of socialist executive in a capitalist system. the people dismissing him as a sellout are idiots, but the ones reflexively defending everything he does aren't much better.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

LET'S GO BYROOOON! I moved to Chicago at the right time.

kind of a big deal

Brianna met her killer at school. The killers used Tor to watch snuff videos on the dark web. The BBC and Sky initially omitted that was transgender from their coverage. The Tory party wanted her to be buried under her deadname. I have no idea how social media plays at all here

it cannot be overstated how the trans panic was entirely manufactured by media outlets, who also have patterns of ignoring and/or firing their trans employees. this was an intentional shifting of the overton window, targeting us with propaganda akin to the antisemitic propaganda of the nazis

If you are Jewish and feel uncomfortable in left spaces my advice right now in this moment is yes, go to a DSA meeting or happy hour or ICE RR and don't be scared to be proudly Jewish because you'll find beloved community.

Most white people don't know ANY nonwhite people at all socially. No Black people, no Asian people, no Latino people.

Here is glimpse of multi-unit buildings that are for sale or sold in the last 12 months where the realtor advertises converting the building into a single family house. All. Across. Chicago. We are making dense, sustainable living unaffordable so others can live in single family mansions.

the reaction to the death of Scott Adams should contrast particularly with the (eventual) death of Bill Watterson, who will be mourned in the style of the ancient Pharaohs, with all of Ohio entombed alive along with him

UNITED STATES OF ICE-RAEL

Remember this?

The only ice I respect is great lakes ice

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue. Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

the kids and the commies are always right, nobody ever listens to them and nobody ever learns a single lesson from being completely wrong about everything all the time because capitalism gives them headpats and belly rubs for refusing to change

"the idea of nonviolent resistance to fascism is a nice dream in the anglosphere" I strongly reject this. CORE and SNCC's relentless nonviolent direct action was THE tool that ended Jim Crow and won Civil Rights law. CORE and Peeva are both heroes, using tools suited for different social contexts.

All I know is when this is over, y'all better not treat Trump like a fancy dignified president emeritus or something. Dubya is watching everybody else take the fall for ICE in retirement with a whitewashed public image over all his crimes.

HB4279 - 104th General Assembly PASSENGER RAIL PLANNING ACT

Which leads to two more conslusions: 1) Daniel Biss does not represent the majority view of the people who live in this district on this issue. If it’s something you care about you shouldn’t vote for him. 2) AIPAC is so extreme that even these compromises aren’t enough to make their donors happy.

2) Here is Biss being proud, not repentant, about the extremist pro-Israel law he helped pass. I’ve written about this before and why people should support its repeal. It is quite literally the pilot AIPAC used for policy in other states, and he should not be proud of it. bsky.app/profile/marx...

2 things I think this has revealed: 1) Limiting and conditioning arms sales to Israel was not a position he initially held. He had to be moved there, likely because he saw the polls indicating that Democratic voters support both of those proposals after seeing what the Israelis do with our weapons.

Americans have spent hours yelling about how the cops would kill you all if you resisted. Meanwhile, Americans are making history with the first general strike in 80 years. You're selling yourselves short.

The Israeli academy has done it again. Here we have a 'study' of how 25 *Israeli* athletes used sport to deal with the "stress feelings" they experienced... while their country committed genocide and *athleticide* in Gaza. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

fucking dying at the Linke numbers for 18-34 women holy shit dawg

[non-sectarian, inclusive tone] the art still kicks ass, always will

The point is to collectively punish in the hope that it induces massive upheaval and if they don't do that you just punish them more. When it doesn't work it's taken as evidence that the people haven't been punished enough. Also if you ever think about doing this to the US or Israel you're a bigot.

In case people think I'm exaggerating here's a USG official saying it outright

The neoconservative theory of change is that you can cripple a country's national economy via collective punishment and induce mass protests about the economy which you then in turn use as evidence of discontent with the regime for a casus belli to topple it.

I'm begging people to remember that Christian theology isn't universal.

"...keeping the airport open doesn’t contribute to Cleveland’s bottom line. Trivisonno pointed to studies released in 2024 that concluded even a big, open green space would do more for the city economically than the current airport" #CLEVELAND #THELAND www.cleveland.com/news/2026/01...

This is a real sentence in a new NYT article about how the US has changed since Trump, lol.

Tfw Americans only recognize Europe as "the rest of the world" lmao. You can come to Brazil pretty easily. It's not illegal to be undocumented here and you won't be deported. Also SUS is free for anyone on BR soil. But it's a jungle monkey country so 🤪

New from @jewishinsider.com this morning that Daniel Biss had sought AIPAC support in April 2025, citing a source Niles Mayor George Alpogianis also told JI that customers at his restaurant had discussed Biss seeking AIPAC backing in the spring Biss' campaign is denying the report:
