If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Last November the Democrats offered more of the same and 9 million Democrats stayed home. Yesterday, the Democrats offered change, hopefully they will deliver better than Obama did. If he had just punished the bankers for their malfeasance we wouldn’t have ended up with Trump and his billionaires.

The very grossest thing about Cuomo was how clear it became he felt entitled to mayor and would do anything dirty to get it. No principles. No desire to do what is best for the city and its people. Just him thinking his race, class and privilege should put him above his opponent.

The only thing that oligarchs have is money.
No brains. No soul. No values. No care. No heart. No empathy.
No ethics. No humanity. Nothing.
Just money.
Quit giving them more. Starve the beast.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

It turns out you can actually be elected to political office without throwing Palestinians and trans people and migrants under the bus.

It's almost like people who do that do it because they don't like any of those groups.

So gross and xenophobic to fault pro-Palestinian groups and try to make them out to be fascist. Why not be mad at Biden for funding and supporting a genocide? He chose to of his own free will. But no, it’s the fault of a small group of Arab voters in Michigan. Somehow nothing is ever Biden’s fault…

This is big. The new anti-Trump coalition depends on the very working families that billionaire-ran monopolies exploit.

Mamdani having antitrust enforcer Lina Khan on his team is going to keep monopolies and hedge fund managers like Bill Ackman (stay in your lane) in NYC up at night :)

I write often about how private equity is destroying US healthcare. Lina Khan is a rare person who has used her position in power to fight back against private equity’s hold on the US economy. Very excited to see what she does in New York.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Ah I’d never heard of this doofus but that makes perfect sense.

We’re literally in an era where it’s mainstream on the right to question the benefit of democracy in favor of fascism.

And Harris wouldn’t even condemn an unpopular, US supported genocide… that doesn’t scream far left to me

Tom is an establishment Republican who somehow can’t connect his tenuous grip on reality with the rise of Trumpism.

A man who dedicated his life and career to sowing the crop, and then acts incredulous toward what that harvest yielded.

I feel like embedded in these arguments is always the idea that we should abandon trans people, indigenous people or really anything that isn’t β€œmiddle America” approved

Maybe you just embrace what is ethically right and win by being better? If we’re abandoning vulnerable groups to win then why win

Some policies from modern democratic presidents:

mass incarceration, mass deportation, unaccountable military action in foreign nations, financial deregulation, increased privatization, austerity

I guess these are left wing?

What an absolute bozo. The Atlantic has really fallen off a cliff

It’s amazing how people can start with an idea they like and then try to cram reality in to fit it.

If anything, democrats have gone slightly right in that timeframe, but the GOP went so unbelievably far right that it made them look more left.

The GOP really mastered the Overton window strategy
