This Day in Labor History: June 30, 1928. Alabama ended the leasing of convicts to mine coal. Let's talk about the decades long struggle to get the state and other southern states to stop this massive labor exploitation that recreated conditions of slavery!

A fake tweet from mamdani dated 1986 saying “lmao the shuttle just exploded eat shit America”

We cannot let this man become mayor

justice for Jamaal Bowman

Mamdani must explain his tweet from 1740 BC claiming that Ea-nāṣir had "high quality copper"

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

"This being on TV I consider a victory for the shitposter community"

kind of funny that americans think that once you become mayor, you can just enact sharia law. like zero understanding of the legislative process. just raise your hand and say "ok it's sharia time now"

Anyone terrified about Zohran winning: I see you, I hear you, and I totally agree you should leave town immediately and never come back.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community.

Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

Beyond simple bigotry, the treatment of Black people and non-white immigrants in the United States makes complete sense when you factor in the existence of a class of rich jerks who worry that those folks wouldn't vote for them, so their solution is to make sure those folks never get to vote at all.

I will explain why I think fashion brands should speak up, even if they have profited off the work of undocumented immigrants. 🧵

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs.

What the hell are we doing?

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Primary for Mayor of New York City, defeating Andrew Cuomo.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point.

People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change.

Heater making biscuits on my legs in bed

I picked Heater up and held her to my chest for like 2 minutes on a whim and she purred the entire time. I’m convinced it’s because she’s happy about Zohran.

I would just like to say an earnest thankyou to men because I asked a dull tech question on here yesterday and lots of men answered it very helpfully and straightforwardly. So I’m taking a brief holiday from my usual misandry to say Thankyou, Men.

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

every leftist politician in america needs to follow the mamdani formula. he is the case study for the future

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.

It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

It's so New York.

I respectfully disagree and I'll tell you why. 🧵

The plan to vaccinate all Americans, despite RFK Jr. The extraordinary effort to create a parallel system of recommending and perhaps even providing vaccines faces major challenges.

To bypass RFK Jr., medical societies, local health officials and others are creating a shadow system to preserve vaccine access for Americans.

🇺🇦🗣️ Zelensky: "I am not ready to betray the people. There is a war going on, and my great duty is to go through this war together with my country. If my people believe that they need another leader, I simply have no right to stay. Yes, I am tired. Because the country is at war."

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.

Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

Bill Clinton Endorses Andrew Cuomo for New York City Mayor

Perfect. No notes

Either politicians become YouTubers or YouTubers become politicians. That is your choice.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

rightwingers: donald trump isn’t doing regime change

donald trump: we are doing regime change

rightwingers: of course we are doing regime change
