@taniel.bsky.social and @boltsmag.org thee best political coverage of races that truly matter rn, up and downballot. in my day-to-day work around reflective democracy&electoral justice, I read it and use it every day. We should give ‘em lots of subscription $ instead of, say, {redacted}

It happened! The @nytimes.com profiled Paulina! The Writer Who Dared Criticize Silicon Valley Paulina Borsook’s “Cyberselfish,” which offered dire predictions about the tech world’s love for libertarianism, is finding fans. It only took 25 years. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/t...

A worker forced to watch awful snuff for .05c/hour 12 hrs a day, a farmer whose land Compute desertified, and a suicidal teen: “Guys could we please not” Tech bros: “Mmyeah, listen: Have you seen the battlestar galactica reboot?“

Dems need to keep repeating it, and they need to say what mean. “You can refuse illegal orders, examples of illegal orders are: intentionally harming or targeting civilians, engaging in unauthorized domestic LE actions, falsifying records, or anything else that clearly violates the US constitution”

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

anyone seen that new It tv series Welcome to Derry where <sorry for gross spoilies > a girl slices her own eyeballs off due to the scary clown? Whole bluesky feed after That article

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

we are going to win

LETS GOOOO

Body roll / balloon drop / uprocking / hitting a baby freeze and then electing ten mayors

Many are calling for Chuck Schumer's resignation. What hasn't been reported until now is that any Senate Democrat can offer a motion to challenge his leadership position, and it would have to get a vote within 7 days. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: prospect.org/2025/11/11/o...

Municipal elections are underwatched, underfunded, and yet remain at THE heart of the fight against This Bullshit. 1 of the best ways to change lives through reflective governance. we gotta elect champions for racial and economic justice, up and down the ballot, from nyc to everywhere else.

raynauds girlies it’s our time to shine

These proposals ARE realistic, they ARE absolutely possible, and we are gonna win. 🥰 And! the people trying to make good things seem impossible are doing so because they profit mightily from that lie. we do not need to let ‘em pretend its cool strategy. We don’t need to let them at all

I can’t take election analysts who are spending this week talking about races that’ll be decided in 2026 too seriously when there’s so many decisive elections in 9 days. My selection of the roughly 185 key ones: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

One year ago today, just before dawn, preparing for my first interview as a candidate for Mayor of New York City. What we have built together over these past 12 months is nothing short of extraordinary. 12 more days to bring it home.

Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously, and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly... Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks... One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQd4...

1. outrageous and offensive 2. speaking as someone who's spent eight years running an organization with a very clear rule that "when the primary's over we get behind the winner, no matter what", I do not think centrist Democrats understand the pandora's box they are unleashing with this bullshit

I cheered throughout this debate in my out loud voice like I was courtside at a championship Our guy just draining buckets on this dude

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

political pundits stop just coming up with new ways of rebranding feckless vacuity as strategy 2025 challenge

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

The Washington Post has fired @karenattiah.bsky.social — the last Black woman on their opinions staff — for quoting Charlie Kirk’s racist words in the aftermath of his shooting (in a series of skeets decrying gun violence and political violence). Support her by signing up for her class.

Charlie Kirk was shot by a neo-Nazi and the media spent the last 24 hours pretending the problem was political violence from the left. Simply incredible.

A threat to authoritarianism anywhere is a threat to authoritarianism everywhere

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

Iowa Sen. Joni “we’re all gonna die” Ernst retiring in disgrace after stealing Medicaid and grocery money from millions of Americans. BYE MAAM

So many bigger things today. But I am still seething about the RFK thing about fluoride. It’s not new or remotely the worst thing today. But I have pretty great and functional teeth despite growing up low income with no insurance thanks to fluoride and I swear his ilk just want people to suffer.

Trump’s claim that he’s invading Democratic cities and militarily occupying them to “fight crime” is no different than Bush’s claim he was militarily occupying Iraq to “find WMD.” And much of the media is still mindlessly repeating the bullshit premise as if it’s real.

the reason that the right believes that the left is entirely astroturf funded by USAID and USIP is that this is how their own institutions work

Zohran Mamdani will never be to a "mainstream Jewish institution" because any institution that hosts Zohran will cease being "mainstream" in the judgment of the self-appointed guardians of the term. Funny how that works.

just can not shake the feeling that democratic leadership really believes they are just a couple votes away from the halcyon times of enjoying senate softball and seersucker suit day

What could it be

Andrew Cuomo is why people hate the Democratic Party and Zohran Mamdami is the antidote to that. I know it's taking a lot of you some time to get there, but that's where we are and this whole fighting fascism thing will go a lot better when you catch up.

This is also true in various ways with many democracies around the world struggling with resurgent rightwing fascism

⬇️⬇️⬇️

And yet the same poll has the 2026 generic congressional ballot at D+3, so that high disapproval is coming entirely from partisan Democrats themselves. If you've ever wanted to challenge an ineffective Democratic incumbent, you're not going to have a better opportunity than next year.

Rep. Valadao voted to cut Medicaid, SNAP, & risk over 180K CA jobs, to fund the biggest billionaire tax break in history. AFSCME members joined the Fair Share “Stop The Billionaire Giveaway” bus tour to call him out for turning his back on the people he was elected to serve.

As a Jew, I’m constantly infuriated that political and media coverage fails to clearly label modern fascism as fascism. The VC far-right are all fascists. It’s not really that complicated; they’re essentially neo-Nazis. Many things become more clear when you see things as they are.
