"Like housed immigrants ... who have been forced to miss work and forgo trips to the grocery store, unhoused [people] have lost access to life-sustaining resources because of the danger posed by ICE and other federal agents."

Really hard to escape 2009 these days huh

Zohran Mamdani and the Politics of Every Day Hope, change, and action.

Zohran’s win is massive — and it’s just the beginning. It’s a moment of tremendous hope, and a moment that we can and must build on. We have the opportunity here to change course, but only if we seize it and turn our beautiful celebration into transformative change.

“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.”

Closing arguments from the defense in the DC sandwich guy case are now underway.

Greg Abbott: The battle lines between capitalism and socialism were clearly drawn last night. Texas is now the unrivaled HQ for capitalism in the US. We lead the country in finance sector employment & new stock exchanges. Capitalism always prevails. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than all of the social programs in the world. We will secure capitalism for the future of our country and deny the expansion of socialism that is creeping across the US.

The cope is rolling in

We are so fucking back

One immensely satisfying thing about today is that Elon Musk can crash out, Donald Trump can be pissed off, Michael Bloomberg can burn another $5 million dollars, and none of that will stop Zohran from becoming the next mayor of New York City.

In this episode of the Working People Podcast with @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social, Osadebe and Heenan respond to their termination and give critical insight into steps the American public and federal workers can take to shed light on unjust practices.

Yes, the government should feed us What's the point of living in a society if not to care for one another?

The far-right weirdos who say we have no obligation to care for one another are in the minority.

Most people don’t want our government to suddenly stop feeding the hungry.

Most people want to live in a society where we care for, and feed, each other.

Millions are about to go hungry. We need to build power with them. It's time to feed each other and organize for power at the same time

Organizing is our way out: www.jphilll.com/p/millions-a....

“Gaza is home because our memories are etched into every street, & Gazans are the heartbeat of the city.”

It’s about to get ugly. Odds are millions are about to go hungry, starting at the end of this week. Our duty is not just to feed as many people as we can, but to organize, transform underlying conditions, beat fascism, and not allow this travesty to continue.

When Luigi Mangione Came to Our Prison Luigi Mangione was incarcerated at my Pennsylvania prison, SCI Huntingdon, for close to two weeks in December. Here's what we saw.

A dispatch from SCI Huntingdon in Pennsylvania about the time Luigi Mangione arrived at the prison.

"Palestinians are still being routinely murdered and displaced in Gaza and in the occupied West Bank. The theft of Palestinian land via settlement and colonization remains ongoing. ... [I]t is safe to assume that these changes in public opinion [against supporting Israel] will only continue."

Free Dylan and Mouctar! NYC Educators Must Fight for Our Immigrant Students in ICE Detention As the school year unfolds, we cannot forget the NYC public school students who languish in Pennsylvania ICE detention facilities.

"Public education cannot claim to serve 'all students' while it allows some to be quietly disappeared into detention."

"Our students belong in classrooms, not cells."

"[W]e have to step up the fight to bring [Dylan & Mouctar] home now."

As a wise commenter said, still go vote and end Cuomo’s political career 🥳

Done 🫡

Zohran is easily going to clear 50%. In addition to everything else Cuomo’s name is hard to find on the ballot because he’s running under some random party lol
