Everybody opposed to authoritarianism and oligarchy should needs to stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers who are likely going on strike starting November 13

This is a winnable fight β€” but it'll take all of our support to help workers get past the finish line

Military-Style Sweep Hits NYC as Masked Federal Agents Arrest Canal Street Vendors Spontaneous protests were met with an armored military vehicle and assault rifles in a crackdown that escalated the Trump administration’s focus on NYC.

ICE just escalated NYC enforcement in the most visible possible way: sweeping in and arresting immigrant vendors on Canal Street, where tourists have forever flocked to buy knockoff designer handbags.

Listen, over 300+ people showed up for a No Kings protest in ANGOLA, INDIANA. There is a whole part of Indiana waiting to be activated. We have never been all red. So what are we going to do with that information? I wish I could say. But I have Hope.

He in fact mocks the condescending style that has become typical of Dem politicians, inviting his audience into a kind of club of knowingness that laughs at their inauthenticity. I thought this was kind of brilliant: bsky.app/profile/zohr...

Joe Gebbia is the billionaire co-founder of AirBnB, a close friend of Elon Musk, and worked to gut the federal government with DOGE.

And he just gave the single largest donation to Cuomo’s super PAC since the primary.
