Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill?

Here you go.

"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now."

I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce.

The amount of Islamophobic cope from MAGA land is sadly glorious to see. Keep coping.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in β€œpolite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually β€œcivility.”

All you anti Muslim bigots who spread nothing but the most vile hate against Mamdani, I'm here for your meltdowns and tantrums.

I'm all the way petty.

Just upping this. Because of the fact whole SNAP fiasco happening right now and also still in unemployment transition, any mutual aid would be helpful.

SNAP benefits may soon be the latest shutdown casualty. Here's what to know Officials emphasize that even though the government isn't replenishing benefit cards, it's still important to keep applying for them.

Their subpar response to this crisis is in line with how they treat SNAP recipients on a regular basis.
Monroe County has a high denial rate for benefits, and often does not complete SNAP applications within the 30-day window.

This distant cousin/aunt β€œcontroversy” re: Zohran Mamdani is the stupidest effing controversy one could manufacture days before the election. All these desperate attacks just show how scared they are with the prospect of having an actually decent human being in a position of power.

Trump is refusing to use contingency funds to fund SNAP β€” even though his own administration’s guidance said he had the legal authority to do so.

But he’ll find a way to bail out Argentina, conduct extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and build a vanity ballroom.

Priorities.

Earlier, driving from Webster through to Perinton Parkway and just up the road I saw through the trees a huge vertical flame of fire??? πŸ”₯ (near Thermofisher) Also further down the road around Walworth/Macedon end there appeared to be smoke coming from a warehouse but it could have been fog ..

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is β€œthe president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

the other thing i’ll say here is i am a bit frustrated with the narrative of online radicalization that treats it as akin to brainwashing. it lets individuals, families and communities off the hook for the choices they make and the environments they foster

Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Black children are mistaken for adults as young as 10 years old, but JD Vance called the young republicans "kids". You have to be 18-40 to be in the group. The youngest was 25 and the oldest was 35, so when exactly DO white "kids" develop into adults?
