If we go on strike, our union of 12,000 workers are calling on customers to NOT BUY STARBUCKS.

Sign our pledge to not cross a picket line and we'll send you local calls to action - nocontractnocoffee.org

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

There are actually very few movies you “couldn’t make today because of woke.”

But there are a hell of a lot of movies that you couldn’t make today because of anti-woke.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

A text, dated Sun, Oct 5, at 4:03 PM They read: Cool. I'm up for another round of "fuck around and find out." there's a redacted response Lmao

This is what the CBP agent who shot Miramar Martinez on October 4 texted the next day.

We're clear-eyed: Every AI company and investor has massive incentive to hype the most glorious AI case. So the technology might never live up to its promise. But this would require every CEO of America's seven biggest companies to be collectively delusional about where they're spending trillions in combined capital.

wow is it possible for seven people to all be wrong about something?

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 way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

2 questions Mikey: did the US support Pol Pot? and did the Vietnamese remove him? You claim to remember things, and yet...

If I offered you in a time machine and told you to pick living in the Soviet union in 1975, Russia in 1995, or Russia in 2025 and you aren’t sure which of those would give you the best standard of living you need to go read a book, any book.

You clearly don't because Pol Pot was a US asset removed from power by the valiant communists of Vietnam

the worst shit you remember about “communism” is actually what happened immediately after communists were violently stripped of power and gangsters moved in to privatize as much of the economy as possible

Opinion | Mamdani’s Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

That's kind of weird, because my experience with Chicagoans is that they're always the ones wearing shorts in the snow

guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia governor’s race.

Just watched the victory speech and I am now also willing to risk it

Holy shit the first thing he does is quote is Eugene fucking Debs!?

For the rest of us, the best part of this Mamdani victory is gonna be when Schumer (and, to a lesser extent, Jeffries) announces he's not running for reelection

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Another reminder to NEVER, EVER throw trans people aside for electoral gain.

A fucking monkey's paw just curled the finger with "Elon" written on it

Mamdani: My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name.

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Zohran Mamdani projected winner according to decision desk HQ

SOCIALISM WINS!!!!
