Ok I've "invented" a new drink: the Pacific Red-Eye: a shot of espresso in a mug of lapsang souchong tea. Smoky, energizing, soothing.

Caffeine and L-theanine to win the 21st century.

Dream team!!!

"The closest we have to [Mamdani] in Canada is NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis, also an articulate, left-wing populist who, like Mamdani, openly advocates for taxing the rich in order to provide benefits for ordinary people. Now there's a wild idea. But it might just catch on." - Linda McQuaig in the Toronto Star

While Carney caters to the corporate elite, our movement knows that it’s time to tax the rich and invest in the 99% who keep this country going.

Thanks @lindamcquaig.bsky.social for the shout out in the @thestar.com!

Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit

These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

This is super bad for US citizens, especially on the left of the spectrum. Gives this authoritarian administration potentially the power to surveil & go after US citizens on spurious "funding of FTO" grounds. This whole antifa boogeyman is being fully weaponized. So dangerous.

Union threatens to seize Cami auto plant if GM removes machinery Mike Van Boekel, chairperson of Unifor Local 88, said they are also prepared to fight the company in court.

Huge solidarity to @unifor.org local 88.

1,100 workers making EV delivery vans, laid off by GM.

Now they're saying, enough!

If GM comes for the machines, they'll occupy the plant.

New research out today with my colleague Jacob Udell on financial distress in the multifamily market. We focus on the impact on tenants, who have little say over their landlords’ financial decisions but bear the brunt of the consequences of this escalating crisis.

Check it out!

We live in that devastating moment when thigs are going so much better—and so much worse!—than we ever expected. At the same time.

Seattle’s leftist insuragent currently ahead by… *91* votes! We’re so close to Seattle rolling hard for public transit and green social housing 😬

11Alive News: The Take | Decision 2025: Democratic Socialist to join Atlanta City Council (11/6/25) Kelsea Bond, newly-elected Atlanta City Council member, discusses their progressive platform and priorities for District 2.

Democratic Socialism is winning from NYC to ATL! So proud to be a part of this political movement with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social 🌹

Hear me talk about Democratic Socialism, the cost of housing, public transit, and democracy in ATL on 11 Alive this morning.

Supreme Court Allows Trump To Enforce Passport Restrictions For Trans People The unsigned ruling on the government's emergency application declared that having to demonstrate sex assigned at birth did not violate equal protection principles.

I'm not surprised. But I'm disgusted and appalled to see SCOTUS backing Trump's violent war on trans people's autonomy and freedom.

This a great piece by @ddayen.bsky.social. Anyone who is convinced by his argument will appreciate the in-depth look we took at @cplusc.bsky.social about the rules of the affordability crisis. Public power is the cure, and we are building the movement for it.

In the 10 years since Paris, we failed to take the actions necessary to hold to 1.5C. We now face the same challenge in the next decade, but for 2C.

But now we also have to also contend with far worse #climate impacts as we try to decarbonise.

The longer we wait, the harder it gets!

The Case for a Green New Deal for Public Housing - Climate and Community Institute The massive backlog of deferred maintenance for public housing in the United States demands a comprehensive, holistic solution that brings every unit in the country up …

"We will work tirelessly to make lights shine again in the hallways of NYCHA developments where they have long flickered."

Could Zohran Mamdani be reading @cplusc.bsky.social?

@aldasky.bsky.social, @kmc39.bsky.social, and @ruthygourevitch.bsky.social's proposal for a GND for NYCHA.

Michael Bloomberg spent over $12 trying—and failing—to stop Mamdani. Mamdani, who's about to make Bloomberg's transit fantasy a reality.

Yes, in 2007, Bloomberg said this: "If you were to design the ultimate system, you would have mass transit be free and charge an enormous amount for cars."

The second biggest mayoral race will go down to the wire. @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social could win this! Another millennial leftist could triumph on a platform of left economic populism, transit, and social housing.

It’s wild how hollow Newsom sounds after Mamdani. He has the surface of swagger—but zero social or econonic content.

Rachel Maddow sounds shellshocked. The TV libs aren’t ready for this.

“Tonight we have stepped from the old into the new.”

Trying to listen but all I can think about is NYC upzoning ballot measures to make it easier for him to build so much green social housing 🤩

Let’s goooooooo!!!

ACTIONS UNDER STATE OF EMERGENCY • FREEZE UTILITY COSTS FOR FAMILIES.

Mikie Sherill wins in NJ—by imitating Mamdani’s price freeze.

Neoliberalism is dead, socialism is surging.

East Bay DSA is so full of compersion for NYC

Socialists are winning, from Astoria to Atlanta lfgoooooooo

Like a typical Canadian, I’m now remembering our 1998 Nagano Olympics hockey loss to the Czech Republic in the semi-finals 💔

(Which apparently became a Czech opera, called Nagano 😅)

The Jays played a better series but… that’s not always enough ⚾️
