Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

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

The easiest lay up applause line for a 2028 candidate will be to list all of the Trump policy damage they'll fix and end on, "And we will make the White House great again."

We need this level of energy in TX. Contest every seat!

this black woman on msnbc just said, "my parents could not vote for most of my lifetime. remember, i am older than the voting rights act."

VOTING MATTERS, HOOCHIES!

Nights like this make me wish I still lived in NYC. I’m jealous I don’t get to vote for him or party in the streets. I’d probably go to the nearest bar. Have fun y’all!! Send pics!

we are living on the set of paradise

CALIFORNIANS: have you voted YES ON 50 yet? if not, get that shit done. reminder that you can drop off your ballot at your polling place OR if you need to, drop it in the mail (as long as it’s postmarked today, it’ll count).

Oblique Strategy of the Day… What mistakes did you make last time?

There’s a constitutional amendment vote happening in TX. 18 propositions. The League of Women’s Voters has a good summary of each prop with pros and cons

I don't care what the polls say.
I don't care what the odds say.
I don't care what the online and TV pundits say.

NYC, if you haven't voted for Zohran Mamdani, please go.
If you voted, please ask your friends.

Let's leave no stone unturned. The movement is now.

An ICE agent who was a zero
Was struck on the chest by a hero.
Wounded I am
By onion and ham
So the case was prosecuted by Pirro.

When I moved to NYC I happily sold my car and replaced it with a Metro card
When I sadly left NY I had to buy a car. I greatly prefer a good public transit system

I have such a crush on him!

I love her!!!

Please please go vote today, if you haven't already. And then, whatever happens today, let it energize you tomorrow to keep pushing to make things better. ❤️👊

The Nonprofit Feeding the Entire Internet to AI Companies Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

NEW: Common Crawl, the massive archiver of the web, has gotten cozy with AI companies and is providing paywalled articles for training data. They’re also lying to publishers who have asked for material to be removed. “The robots are people too,” CC’s exec director told us when we asked about this.

Your life is worse off because too many white people hate Black people.

I think that people are forgetting what paid work was like before the labor movement: 18 hour days, 6 days per week (if you were lucky). No holidays, no weekends, no sick time, no safety regulations, no legal recourse.

So done

🚨November 25th - December 2nd we cut the billionaires off from our $.

Most people hear "factory jobs" and think "1950s economic prosperity," which was only possible through strong unions.

The GOP says "factory jobs" and means "1880s corporate dominance over the working class."

Recognize the difference.

This is what happens when folks vote for reproductive rights and also for Republicans on the same ballot.

ICE detained a Virginia mom while she was driving her 16yo daughter to school bc she couldn’t recall her SS#.

“The agent got flustered and lunged at her,” said her daughter.

ICE arrested her even after she showed proof of legal status.

“I want this video out there because I want my mother home.”

How to answer a loaded question.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree
