Whether it's garbage NYT left-bait or right wing flood-the-zone nonsense that we all pile on to, we are letting the wrong people set our overall information agenda in a very deep and fundamental way. And it's a very serious mistake.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Soooooooooo . . . basically the same idea as ACA subsidies. But make it dumb.

This is an actual crime against humanity.

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

Every single one of these meltdowns fills me with so much joy because their fear of losing power is so palpable! It’s like a delicious schadenfreude filled bon bon.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

With an actual authoritarian running the whole freaking country. Make it make sense.

I’m reading this thread in @davejorgenson.bsky.social TikTok-ese

What does it say about your own movement’s ethos that when you see high school math teachers dressed up for Halloween, you automatically think it’s about celebrating someone’s death . . .

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Let’s try this - had a family thing come up, anyone able to give a good (free) home to two tix for Jon Batiste at Anthem tonight?

Andra Day too.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Imagine if we did this but instead of paying people to racially profile and terrorize communities and grab mostly innocent people we did it for teachers

And racist. Look at Matty with the intersectionality. 🙄

Win/win!!

An image of the Trump-Vance presidency smashing a wrecking ball into the White House to build a monument to Dear Leader—during a government shutdown—captures 2025 pretty well

Why are people?

Funny how the press + white politicians just about never refer to unarmed Black teenagers who get murdered --

like Laquan McDonald, Mike Brown, Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Ma'Khia Bryant, & younger, like Tamir Rice, Aiyana Jones-

as "kids," even though they call 30something racists "kids". 🤔

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

This is so real. What exactly was the point of 8 of them outside of the Dupont Krispy Kreme on a peaceful Saturday morning?

Yup, the only possible solution for this is the 82nd Airborne.

I had to stop reading for exactly that reason. Especially because all the words just seemed like a bulwark against introspection.

This is insane.

Jane Goodall on Donald Trump: “I see the same sort of behavior as a male chimpanzee will show when he’s competing for dominance with another

👇🏽

So Trump is defunding the police.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"

That's it. That's the whole story.

Tortie mama cat feeding her three adorable kittens - 2 black and one orange.

Three brother kittens - two black and one ginger - looking heart meltingly cute.

We knew when she took in Sia that we would adopt 2 of the kittens. She and her fam had a short vacation planned when the kittens were 6 weeks old, so we got certified to foster from the rescue she works with and took care of Sia, our guys, and their other brother. All were adopted, including Sia. 🎉
