Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Please watch this clip. I am so grateful to Jacob Solotaroff for his dedicated witness and reporting of this escalating nightmare.

Dems should be making daily videos about what a disaster this admin is. Instead we get MTG?

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

this has been one of my central arguments the past ten years. the theory underpinning the anti-democratic elements of the american constitutional order is wrong!

Important lesson Post 2024 polls show Harris campaigning with Cheney decreased enthusiasm by 7% Post 2025 polls show Mamdani running as unapologetic progressive earned him 9% of MAGA 2024 voters Corporate Dems: You dont flip votes by compromising your values—but by unapologetically embracing them

Damn! This is fun. He's got me genuinely lol'ing at Adams, Cuomo, & Silwa.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

NEW: A federal judge said the decision by Trump WH to end sign language interpretation at briefings by Trump and Leavitt likely violated the Rehabilitation Act and harmed deaf people who communicate in ASL. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

43 days later, Adelita Grijalva has still not been sworn-in In the meantime, constituents looking to the US House website for information to get assistance..... see this message instead =====>

This is just brilliant. Bring it on.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism. “I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.” zeteo.com/subscribe

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

And also every single county in Virginia shifted blue, two statewide posts in Georgia went blue (for the first time in two decades), three Pennsylvania judicial races went blue, a Maine vote went blue, a Mississippi state senate seat went blue ....

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

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

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas. But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community. It was standing room only.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN DOING?

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

“Only in blue cities” Right. www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

Confident Texas Republicans *diluted* solid GOP districts in order to redraw the state's congressional map to gain five seats. Tonight's results in Virginia should have them nervous.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

@propublica.org is a treasure. Donate if you can.

THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mamdani’s choice of music is a great flex.

LET'S GOOOOOOOO. (If you are in line, stay in line!)

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

Yes and high school teachers!

This is just people fighting to control their workplace. It has nothing to do with the people, with voters, with policy. Thank you.

How are Democrats not immediately suing CBS News over this?

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

They're throwing a successful magazine away to replace it with "LinkedIn for Teens: The Magazine". Capitalists love racism more than they do making money.

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

Since you won’t let me reply now, let me say that you said LLMs using Wikipedia weren’t literate so you used this meaning first. Do my colleagues know how LLMs work? It varies widely. I experiment w/ them in limited ways with students but always with HISTORY pedagogy, not “AI literacy” in mind.

The @us.theguardian.com has a number of open positions, including two reporter roles focusing on organizing and movement building. Jobs are 12 month contract, full-time, union, flexible location workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e... workwithus.theguardian.com/job-search/e...

I know that some of you #onhere have access to people with money. Get some of them to invest in Lex and the other staffers laid off from Teen Vogue.

ON THE LITERAL EVE OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST MAYOR BEING ELECTED, ANNA WINTOUR KILLS PROGRESSIVE AND PROFITABLE TEEN VOGUE POLITICS DESK WHICH HAD JUST INTERVIEWED HIM *That’s* the headline. (Unfortunately there’s hardly any news outlet left to run it 😭)

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section. www.thecut.com/article/teen...

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation. They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.
