I just keep thinking “Elon Musk just got a trillion dollars”

When the president gets ordered, multiple times, to pay out federal food benefits as the law requires:

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

What haven't men ruined

Zohran has already gotten 250k more votes than Eric Adams did 4 years ago when he was hailed as the future of the Democratic Party.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

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.

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

as someone who was on SNAP four times let me tell you it would be *phenomenally hard* to exploit, they put *a lot of effort* into giving you *as little as possible* and are horrendously understaffed

if someone has managed to abuse the system they are Danny Ocean and you should respect the hustle

One dead and two missing after typhoon remnants lash western Alaska Over 50 people rescued in Alaska while severe weather kills woman in New York City

A look at the "absolute devastation" in western Alaska today reminds us that climate change will continue to inflict suffering on the people who are least responsible for it.

Amazon had county officials near Tucson, Arizona sign an NDA in 2023 that would’ve lasted until ”Project Blue” was permitted and built. Locals only found out that “Project Blue” would a hyperscale data center in June. County officials only confirmed Amazon’s involved last week.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

Is anyone going to defend free speech online? Government censorship on social media is already here. But it can get so much worse.

“We are living through fascism and the primary way we connect with and inform and organize w/ each other is under lethal attack.

No one is coming to protect the internet for us, and people won’t even have a clue how catastrophic this can become until it’s over” @kattenbarge.bsky.social

If the concern is authoritarianism, I struggle to think of more than a very few things a state can do that are more intrusive of human rights, dignity and freedom than forced pregnancy.

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

This is an important time to remember that responsibility is not a zero-sum game — recognizing one person’s fault does not necessarily diminish another person’s.

The Trump administration is fascist. And ABC cynically caved and abandoned American values for money. Both are worthy of your contempt.

We are building a movement. Brett Smiley is panicking.

His record:

• Creating an affordability crisis
• Illegally underfunding our schools

Our neighbors are tired of politicians who say they know best but don’t listen to our needs. We deserve a Mayor who cares about us.

Remember Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil who was abducted and detained for his pro-Palestinian speech?

His story is a prime example of what can happen when a school abandons its students to the whim of the government.

“A war framing confuses the issue. This is not a war,” former Pentagon lawyer Sarah Harrison explained. “U.S. forces went out and committed murder.”

Rep. David Morales makes it official: He’s taking on Brett Smiley for Providence mayor • Rhode Island Current On the day before his 27th birthday, Providence Democratic Rep. David Morales announced Monday morning he will challenge Mayor Brett Smiley to lead the capital city in the September 2026 primary.

What @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social lacks in his mayoral campaign war chest, he hopes to make up for in energy and outreach to Latino voters, frustrated renters. By @krish-eh.bsky.social rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/09/15/r...

It’s time 💪🏻

Hi Neighbors! You tell me, what’s your dream for Providence? ✨

insane that people are getting in trouble for just quoting Charlie Kirk point blank. many of these people are not even expressing support for what happened to him, just quoting him & questioning double standards in how we respond to violence. we live in a far-right culture
