Disarm the State

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

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

Comic. [Person sitting at desk with laptop with machine labeled E-21 making “click click” noises on the floor behind] VOICE FROM LAPTOP: Hey all! Does your E-21 humidifier make an annoying clicking noise? Mine did, but I finally figured out that there’s an easy fix, so I made this video in case anyone else… PERSON AT DESK: Oh my god. Yes. *Yes.* [caption] I know there’s more important work in the world, but I feel like these people deserve, at minimum a statue.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The winning Democratic message in 2025:

Totals by Candidate 11 Zohran Kwame Mamdani 1012850 50.32% 12 Curtis A. Sliwa 144123 7.16% | 13 Irene Estrada 2575 0.13% | 14 Eric L. Adams 6182 0.31%| 15 Joseph Hernandez 1228 0.06% 16 Andrew M. Cuomo 837398 41.61% 17 Jim Walden 2128 0.11% | 18 WRITE-IN 6163 0.31% | 2012647

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Brand new data:

Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!).

These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates.

Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

HUNT: Dems have argued that the norms of our govt should be that you negotiate policy outside of a shutdown

GALLEGO: You're talking about norms in a time of Donald Trump?

H: But Ds have spent so much time arguing that maintaining norms is incredibly important

G: It's all out the window, Kasie. No

this is the Pope

his entire thing is going around waving to crowds and looking happy

he is also such a White Sox fan that this is the maddest - and most human - I have ever a pope look

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

How cruel is that?

Republicans had a choice to either:

1.) Usher in a new party system through racial depolarization and rule forever through rainbow fascism

2.) Risk blowing it all up in a second civil war for a country that’s 2% whiter

Was there any doubt where they’d land?

Q: How long does it take to build a new data center? A: Approximately one closed-door city council vote.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

This is the stack of playbooks we're preparing for the AWBO kickstarter coming up on Nov. 3. All four sheets have the short-form descriptions, like: THE HARRIER We are the fire in the ashes of the world. We are the claws that rake the earth. We are the screaming machines that tear the roads to ruts and shake the ruined buildings. We are the furious horde of the not yet dead. When you play the Harrier, you have a dangerous and skilled, but chaotic, combat gang. The full text shown is in the thread.

T minus 11. An #ApocalypseWorldBurnedOver thread. In case you were wondering what we're cooking up in #AW3rd edition.

Because she's the hero America deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

So we'll hunt her. Because she can take it.

Because she's not our hero. She’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training. FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.
