Richest nation in human history

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

You are correct, sir

I think it’s only fair that we get a “Have men ruined society?” op-ed

Working SO HARD to starve the people

While the IRS hasn’t officially confirmed that Direct File is dead, the IRS website indicates that the program is closed and past users will have to file a special form to get their previous tax return.

there’s a revolution happening in journalism

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

So much detail goes into forming a successful team that can effect the change promised. Getting elected was the easy part: now the real grind-work has begun.

“If you join a fight for social justice you may win or lose, but just by being part of the struggle, you win, and your life will be better for it.” — Howard Zinn

BREAKING: Former FTC chair Lina Khan to serve as co-chair of Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral transition team.

If you stand the slightest chance of being called up for jury duty, you really need to know your rights around jury nullification. Please look it up.

Dumbest use of taxpayer dollars, but thank you to the jury for serving this up!

Sandwich guy walks free!

I did not know that “Turn the Volume Up” was a KRS-One rap song from back in the day. The rest of the line says “…the devil’s time is up.” A deeper shade of shade! I love it. My mayor!

When the chickens come home to roost carrying H5N1.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: Lunch for jurors in the “sandwich guy” trial are a variety of sandwiches, according to a source familiar with lunch.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Two ideas defined the 1930s. Fascism on the right and Roosevelt's New Deal on the left. The only one to survive was Roosevelt's – until "trickle-downers" started dismantling it in the 1980s. Roosevelt's New Deal is worth cheching out, as it seems to be what folk are looking for again. #NeoRoosevelts

If you're a young person, find your people are try stuff. You don't know how it will turn out AND THAT'S A GOOD THING. Failure is a natural part of living. Not something to be scared of. Try shit. Don't sit back and throw stones at others who are trying shit.

this is actually impressive, making up a brand new nobel peace prize replacement is a genuine innovation in bribery absolutely nobody does corruption like FIFA

Advent is a mere 3 weeks away! Consider this. Who in your life... needs to know more about eels? feels joy in learning? likes the ocean? needs a little treat? You should send them an Eel Facts Advent Calendar! Sales support @skypeascientist.bsky.social and it's just plain fun! EelFacts.net

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Lots of federal workers who have lost their jobs. Maybe this is you.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

The rumors are true: scrolling through Zohran’s transition website and seeing that his co-chairs so far are eminently qualified women of color is a great way to feel like better things are possible

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Deeply moving to see this first family.

"All of these candidates who won last night didn’t shy away from talking about gender equality and LGBTQ rights. They didn’t buy the theory that doing so would alienate young men. And they were right. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Carville." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/what-young...

Yet another way Trump is screwing working families: this was a FREE tool we set up so folks could file taxes directly, without paying an expensive service. So who does cancelling it benefit? The answer is not working Americans, but it sure is big corporations who profit off them.

Feel good about yesterday’s results but recognize that Leah is right: The MAGA fascists are going to try even harder to steal elections. When we fight, we win.

This is insane!!! Private prison companies have documented cases of suing states for failing to meet their contractually guaranteed minimum bed occupancy quotas (often 80–100% full), or else the state must pay for the empty beds.

Voters might not be happy with the Democratic Party, but this election proves that they know good Democratic candidates and messaging when they see them, and they’ll show up. Grow this energy for 2026!

Maine voted for red flag law for guns! 20 point margin 👀

A highlight of last night I'm not seeing much today: Spanberger, Shirrell, and Mamdani all won clear majorities of young male voters last night.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

I just watched a mayor-elect in my state defy an authoritarian at the height of his institutional power—with Congress and the court behind him. I watched him deliver a full-throated defense of transgender Americans and immigrants and declare in no uncertain terms that he is a democratic socialist.

As air traffic controllers face a second missed paycheck next week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sounds the alarm that the system is nearing its breaking point.

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments today over President Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on almost every nation on earth, in ever-changing amounts. But the real question before the high court? Will the conservative justices honor the president—or their plutocratic patrons?

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

New Jersey, it is the honor of my life to earn your trust to become this great state’s 57th Governor. I promise to listen, lead with courage, and never forget who I serve.

This is HUGE!!!

Don’t underestimate your impact on others- even people you don’t know.

The moment that made Mamdani

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
