congrats to the amazing journalists at the pg! this is huge + wonderful news.

all power to the people.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

I will not be watching or reading any "analyses" about the Democratic party in D.C. I know all about them & their complicity. I'm not interested and I choose to reclaim my time and attention.

There're other kinds of politics to engage & most importantly to do (including in our local communities).

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

An ICE recruitment poster that reads "Are you going to cowboy up or just lay there and bleed?" and lists several websites. Underneath the text is an illustration of a cowboy on a bucking bronco.

C'mon. Those women and children aren't going to beat themselves up.

🎉 Congratulations to Fran Wilson for election to the Akron City Council, Ward 1! Their voice will bring bold, people-powered leadership to City Hall.

As winter approaches, many around Cleveland will be in need of warm clothing. If you're able to help, please consider visiting I’m In Ministry’s Drop Off Event.

Hope is a fuel. Use it to burn down something terrible.

They’ll insist this is a
one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else.

They’re wrong.

New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe.

If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

Every time one anti-vaxxer is quoted in the media, one million scientists and healthcare workers should also be quoted in support of vaccines.

False equivalence in the media is killing us.

Big things are happening…

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will maintain a Democratic majority as voters decide to retain three judges in the General Election.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

There are still a lot of hard times ahead, but remember this moment and what it means: We can win.

genuinely beautiful that new york elected a muslim lefty mayor the same day that dick cheney died

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

Akron school board candidates defend Moms for Liberty pledges Akron school board candidates say they won't withdraw pledges with Moms for Liberty. The Southern Poverty Law Center labels group extremists.

hey akron, oh! tomorrow we vote for school board + two candidates are pledged to moms for liberty. you know, that group against “woke indoctrination” who love to get books banned.

so let’s not let them do that to akron public schools.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

a reminder as we enter the end of the year holiday season, your local thrift stores have a ton of decorations, gift wrapping, and cards!

you can save it from the landfill, save money, and not support corporate greed!

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Starbucks' unionized workers are holding a massive strike vote.

If approved, more than 12,000 baristas in 45 states and the District of Columbia could strike.

@sbworkersunited.org says the strike would be open-ended, potentially continuing through the holidays.

A lot of these red states are gerrymandered to the hilt as well. Republicans are making it almost impossible for people to vote their way out of this mess

sorry, but this isn’t good enough for what is increasingly a paramilitary committing extremely serious crimes on an hourly basis

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’ The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

My report:

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

we’re in this one together folks
