Mayor Mamdani is coming to liberate the people of Ohio

unironically they're 100000% correct

“Heat pumps are superior in efficiency to condensing boilers, even if the heat pumps are powered by electricity from a power station burning natural gas.” Not me saying that but the late Prof Sir David MacKay. More in my @carbonbrief.org article 👇 interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/he...

A striking innovation in the Illinois Transit Bill is the explicit embrace of “regional rail”—a term that signals a complete departure from the commuter rail model that has defined suburban train service for over a century www.hsrail.org/blog/illinoi...

Trans workers face discrimination and bigotry on the job, but unions can provide the protection, benefits, and solidarity missing in non-union jobs.

I'm really sorry it had to happen like this but I'm heartened to see more people recognizing the need for Reconstruction Democrats regardless of who has to go to get them there. and let's be realistic they are going to do this again in january like, note for note.

Your Saturday morning read. “Brandon Johnson and the grassroots coalition of organizers who elected him say it’s time for the wealthy to pay their fair share, a sentiment echoing throughout America and emphasized by the Nov. 4 mayoral election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani.”

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

James Watson the perverted racist is dead?! Well that means it's time to celebrate the true hero of DNA discovery: Rosalind Franklin www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Damn I didn't realize Chicago has apartments for rabid foamers so you can stare into the trains.

update: 5 of 5 board members are DSA cadre, it's a front organization baby (extremely laudatory)

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Jericho is a movement to recognize political prisoners and prisoners of war inside the U.S., despite the U.S. government’s continued denial, winning their amnesty and freedom, adequate medical care, and legal defense ⛓️🔖 Join Atlanta DSA's Afrosocialists and Socialists of Color (AfroSoC) (1/2)

Thanks to the Illinois’ massive investment in transit, Chicago has a bright transit future, with the dawn coming next year: —50% increase in every-10-min bus routes to 30 citywide —8-minute midday headways on rail lines —24-hour Orange Line service (Red & Blue already have it)

someone went up to sarah mcbride in front of the u.s. congress, hurled her deadname at her loudly and called her a pedophile repeatedly, posted video of the exchange to x, and it is now going wildly viral i will not share the video but if you’re not speaking up about this, you’re hurting yourself

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.

Newsrooms often hear more from those who doubt the science, leading many to believe that climate contrarianism is more prevalent than it is. @amywestervelt.bsky.social @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/envi...

I saw someone legit telling someone else "actually voice training and growing your hair out and wearing makeup and telling people your new name and pronouns doesn't count as transitioning" and I'm like are we BEING FOR REAL. WHAT IS HAPPENING. THIS WAS A REAL INTERACTION I SAW AND IM LOSING MY MIND

Congratulations to Kelsea Bond for becoming Atlanta's first socialist city councilmember! 🎊 Last night, they won overwhelmingly with 64% of the vote. We are so excited for them and know they will do great things for Atlanta! 🪴 Join Groundwork to build a strong DSA with us! groundworkdsa.com/join

Oh yeah and their rules make it clear they oppose anything socdem or demsoc. They acknowledge the DSA are Dems by separating it from “Third Parties”, but they don’t hide their disdain You can’t even critique a Dem for being a corporate Dem that doesn’t care enough about regular people

Chicago DSA out here having a great time for a Comrade's big win

The main problem with Bluesky is that some of you aren't posting enough Chicago content. This is the premiere Chicago-centered social website, please act accordingly.

Management is already using the hype over AI to make workers fearful. Workers need a plan to get a say over the tools we use and how we use them.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

I'm really worried about the "Look! 60+% of the country thinks trans people shouldn't be allowed to update their ID documents!" stat that I keep seeing. People don't seem to understand why that's really bad for trans people.

When you move past a timezone the day before daylight savings time and then gain two hours. Woke up so early this is cheating.

btw just in case anyone needs an example: this is a transmedicalist

The University of Cincinnati (UC) Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) chapter has published a petition calling on UC administrators to declare the university a sanctuary campus. Read about what a sanctuary campus is and what YDSA’s demands are at TNR: www.newsrecord.org/news/uc-stud...

Halloween Friday news dump: The Trump administration is giving out $100 million to “refurbish and modernize” coal plants

Ending up a great Aunt at 27 is a great vibe

i am very exhausted by disinformation about the cost of transition healthcare. it costs less than $100 for 1-2 years of hormones, depending on your exact sourcing. presenting HRT as impossibly expensive and inaccessible to people who need HRT but don't know how is equivalent to medical gatekeeping.

Just got back to the city and about to board a CTA train that’s not going to get cut because our community showed the fuck up and organized like hell. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.

that new democrat strategy document cites sarah mcbride's transphobia as justification for everybody else's transphobia in the introduction :)

Transit reform/funding bill approved in the Senate. This is final passage

It’s witness slip time! 🚨 Transit funding bill SB2111 has been assigned to committee and we need folks to file witness slips as PROPONENT immediately! The attached graphic provides guidance for submitting a slip. mbl.ms/mKgZnW7m-BQ

If you're worried about Trump trying to ban trans healthcare for youth across the country, I highly encourage you to revisit this piece. AIDS activism, which saved millions of lives, has shown us that queer people can win our healthcare if we fight for it, even when the government wants us dead.

Dr Anthony Fauci responded to the protests with concessions to the loved ones of the thousands of queer people dying from AIDS. And today, many AIDS activists are calling for trans people to learn from their movement to protect their own healthcare, as @madycast.com wrote earlier this year.

Trump's attacks on trans healthcare this year reflect the significant escalation in hatred against queer people in recent years. But the NIH has long denied queer people healthcare. During the AIDS genocides, over 1000 ACT UP members joined the 'Storm the NIH' protest for AIDS healthcare.

CHATTANOOGA: “Workers at Volkswagen voted to authorize a strike… paving the way for a potential walkout. UAW and automaker have been in contract negotiations for more than a year, after workers there voted 73% in favor of joining the union.” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Finally, a Pope of the people

This historical map of Cleveland Transit is interesting It distinguishes routes by service type, not vehicle type. This likely reflects the idea that a bus vs streetcar just didn't matter to riders that much. This is a transit system that moves you- that's the priority.

Hey tax-the-rich people, have I got a new bill for you: SB2111ham002

CLEVELAND OHIO 🚨🚨🚨

Solidarity with the strike, and also, build more housing so shithead landlords stop having the power to raise rents.

MLK and RFK were shot within two months of each other; Detroit and Cleveland were razed to the ground, the former never regaining more than half it's peak population; plane highjackings were an every-other week occurrence; and the threat of immediate nuclear annihilation was perpetual

Today in "please do not underestimate Newsom if you want to beat him"

Cis people only know how to draw trans people as either "indistinguishable from transphobic propaganda" or "essentially hentai art". They can't actually depict us as we are.

Just want everyone to know that one transphobic and fearmongering statement on the USDA website does not mean that the government shutdown is about healthcare for trans people. It's about healthcare for everyone on ACA subsidies and it's irresponsible to act like the CR has any gender care ban.
