It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Zohran Mamdani won young men 18-29 by 40 points.

40!

And he did so by standing FOR economic justice, FOR Trans rights, FOR immigrant rights, FOR labor rights, FOR Palestinian rights, & FOR diversity—& still unapologetically dunking on Trump.

He is anti-MAGA w/o throwing people under the bus.

1/2

Zohran Mamdani won NYC Mayor while unapologetically:
-Calling Israel's siege on Palestinians a genocide
-Upholding ICC's warrant to arrest Netanyahu
-Upholding BDS as a legitimate form of free speech
-Demanding Palestinian self-determination
-Securing a plurality of Jewish voters

This is the future

Really don’t think it can be emphasized enough what an INSANELY promising technology mRNA vaccination has proved itself to be and it’s beyond infuriating that it is under active and sustained attack by the most powerful people on earth

Hahaha yeah, but no like I'm completely serious.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to give up instead of what they have to gain.

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.

Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.

It Was Never About The Hostages.

Authoritarians fear only one thing: DEFIANCE‼️

White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐

I Need 1% of Georgia to Watch This Video YouTube video by Hank Green

Hey Georgia! @hankgreen.bsky.social has a convincing pitch for why you should vote AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS in the upcoming Georgia Public Service Commission special election! Potentially save consumers money, kick out some Rs, feel good! YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT HUGELY! www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Welcome to America

“The polling numbers on a hypothetical issue we accepted the other party’s framing of were bad so giving a huge bolus of funding to the secret police was all we could do. Don’t criticize me, for I am a Smol Bean Widdle Senator. It’s mean to question these choices. >:(“

The Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

Democratic Voters Who Skipped 2024 Election Want Candidates Like Bernie, AOC New research suggests the prevailing wisdom in Washington — the idea that Democrats tacked too far to the left last year — might be wrong.

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic voters who skipped the 2024 election favor candidates like Bernie Sanders and AOC. Polling shows they believe inequality is at the heart of America’s problems and health care should be available to everyone.

the lesson of Reconstruction is that a whole lotta Confederate motherfuckers shoulda got hanged to kick things off

May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe. May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed, and may they one day experience real justice for all the suffering and death they cause.

From Rabbi @marisaelana.bsky.social:

May Iranians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Palestinians, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.
May Israelis, who mostly hate their leaders, be safe.

May all the war-mongering authoritarians be deposed & may they [yet] experience real justice..

I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it.

May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔
