Like, super cute I just wasn't aware we were solving mysteries right now toddler

I love the amount of parenting that is wondering some variation of "who taught the 2 year old to say 'you solved the mystery'?"

I love how people claim ubi means people would stop working. Look most teenagers aren't paying for their home and board and they still work. It's almost like people use money for more than surviving

I don't know that I will ever stop being mad at this country that I love so much

God forbid we let the people who want to feed the poor have power

The Heritage Foundation is a fascist antiblack organization.

Watching my former senator Chris Murphy age in real time has been a trip. I think he's aged more in the past 9 months than the whole rest of the time he's been in office

ICE shot a pepper spray canister at a fucking infant in a car seat while her parents were driving, this could have killed people. There's no defending any of this

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

Our political system is fundamentally broken. It was not designed to represent the will of the people and it is incapable of doing so today.

The people don't want a king. The people don't want Democrats to surrender. The people don't want only two parties.

The people don't want any of this.

It's past time for Schumer to step down. Call the vote.

Murphy can step up.

I'll never understand why people think it's ok to tell me how much they hate NYC after learning it's where I live. Motherfuckers don't make me explain how much of your life my city subsidizes

Library Funding Stances by City Council Members

So far only 3 NYC Council Members are on record supporting our 0.5% demand for public libraries. That's pathetic. nycplan.org/scorecards/l... - If you don't see your Council member on the list, then you should be giving them a call this week.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

It’s a good day to look up Rosalind Franklin.

I don't need to watch scary movies anymore there's a new ICE kidnapping video everyday

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Why don't you ask the Nazis in the white house to fight antisemitism? Or is antisemitism only bad if you're not a billionaire?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

I'm going to need all children's entertainment to start making Thanksgiving specials because I just can't tolerate two months of Christmas crap

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.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

Normally I'd say eat the rich but that meat is rancid

To be clear it's been over a decade since I've had to worry about money for food but that anxiety will probably be with me for life. Our government is inflicting that on 14 million kids right now.

As someone who grew up food insecure because my dad had the audacity to get cancer, watching the whole SNAP fiasco is both infuriating and incredibly triggering

Federal Agents at the Polls The freedom to vote is the very foundation of our democracy. Voting is how we secure our civil rights and liberties and help shape our country, state, and town. Every eligible citizen has the right to cast a ballot freely, fairly, and accessibly - without fear of deception or intimidation.

It’s a federal crime for anyone, including government officials, to intimidate or threaten someone in order to interfere with their right to vote.

Know your rights when you head to the polls.

I remember watching the news about Cheney shooting that dude in the face and my partner, who was raised by a gunsmith, proceeded to tell me every gun safety rule the VP broke.
