“you’re a world historic mass murderer” is getting to him, huh maybe he shouldn’t have chosen to be a world historic mass murderer

Algae is loving this news cycle. They’ve never been more relevant. Microzooplankton sitting at home changing the channel like, what about us? we even have cilia and pseudopods, this is bullshit.

i’m a jewish NY-10 resident and i’m damn proud of the message we sent.

that sound you hear is every too-comfortable incumbent screaming, crying, throwing up

Whenever I hear someone claiming that USAID was evil from a leftist perspective, I hear someone saying “yes, millions ARE dying because Musk and Trump killed USAID, but at least they’ll die free of American imperialism.” Notably it is never the people saying this who are dying.

“lets see the algae try to get past this!”

An underlying logic of unitary executive theory is that the President is an all knowing figure who should be granted extraordinary power, rather than a flawed individual who should be constrained

what’s happening tonight in NY is how we win the infrastructure is there, you don’t have to build it from scratch, it’s called the Democratic Party you just need to go and wrest the controls from the people who aren’t serious about doing what needs to be done, and as tonight shows, that’s doable

george conway lost by a bajillion votes which we can all agree is fucking hilarious

New York City voters seemed energized by victories from Brad Lander, Darializa Chevalier, and Claire Lopez. But in this small diner roughly 75 miles outside of Topeka, news of the results was not welcomed as warmly

Good news LGBTQs

I mean this couldn’t possible be anyone else, right?

I say this almost every day but The MOST democratic and Democratic thing any of us can do is hold our own “team” accountable. And when we don’t, we end up in administrations like this. I like my leaders to question authority and invite criticism. If you can’t, you should step down.

The booing that just broke out in the crowd in response to Hakeem Jeffries on the screen at the DSA slate election night party was so intense it immediately felt like Knicks fans seeing a Spurs fan after game 4.

the dumbest story in history has somehow gotten dumber

That’ll teach those kids to be born to a poor mom

Trump actually thinks asylum seekers are people from “insane asylums”—and he’s enabled by people in the administration and the media who do not correct him.

it fucking rules that new york city politics have become what outsiders assumed they already were

Hard to overstate just how much of the Brexit campaign was based on lies. Looking back it’s a sad case study of a country voting to immiserate itself due to the mendacity of right-wing politicians and tabloids. But it’s almost never framed that way in UK media. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The plan: forever warp the job market through taxpayer-funded subsidies of unsustainable AI businesses just long enough for all other companies to lay off millions of workers and reorient their work processes around proprietary technology and then once this is accomplished, raise inference prices.

i do find the imagery of pouring endless, unnecessary money into a corroded mirror of rancid water a little heavy handed

Last week, we collected 2,631 diapers at our meet-and-greet with @abdulelsayed.bsky.social because when we show up for our neighbors, we can make a difference. July 8–13, we're heading to Michigan to knock on doors, and we're looking for 50 volunteers to join us.

The American "justice system" is not broken. The system is a perfectly functioning meat grinder, a rolling border wall, a plantation ledger, a movable death warrant. High tech robotic policing of necropolitical death worlds, deciding who gets to breathe and whose bones feed the machine.

i don’t think that donald trump has been doing a good job with the reflecting pool

Not beating the eugenicist allegations

The message: If you oppose people kidnapping your neighbors and disappearing them in concentration camps, you might get sent to prison for the rest of your life. The Constitution is nothing but a set of suggestions.

wh...why would you drive over the reflecting pool

Like I said: admitting to liking Elon Musk must become socially equivalent to admitting you pleasure yourself to a picture of Pol Pot on a nightly basis. This creature is not redeemable, and anyone who defends his genocidal insanity is complicit.

New from 404 Media: Madison Square Garden made a dossier on activists who have opposed the venue's facial recognition program. MSG scans faces of people so some can be arbitrarily denied entry. Dossier includes specific activists, their contact info, tweets, etc www.404media.co/madison-squa...

you absolutely love to see it

has anyone done “goldman sacked” yet

one thing you can see on TikTok etc is that there are a lot of young, low info people whose primary exposure to the concept of antisemitism is as a bad faith smear, and my guess is that’s not good.

i'm troubled by the election results coming out of new york city tonight. i firmly believe that no one should ever do anything

30 years for moving a box of zines. Des Sanchez Estrada was not even at the noise demo that led to this. The state is attempting to make an example of these anti-fascist political prisoners. We can expect the crackdowns to continue & escalate. Take this seriously. Don't back down

how successful have the moderates been in reining in the excesses of the trump administration

Mamdani outperformed the Knicks, going 3-for-3.

‼️ Bad Internet Bills, disguised as “kids safety” bills, are moving through Congress again ‼️ It's time to get those phones in Congress ringing off the hooks again w/ one simple message: we refuse any bill that age restricts, censors & surveils the Internet. : www.politico.com/live-updates...

Honestly when your comrades are getting sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines, it's time to brush up on your BPP history and tactics

The energy at the DSA election night party feels like an earthquake just ripped through the democratic party in a way that cannot be undone. I said yesterday that there was a movement and a political renaissance happening in NYC and here we see the heart of it. Also Chelsea Manning is DJing.

Jared Kushner is trying to raise $5 BILLION for his private equity firm from Middle East investors while acting as an envoy for the US in the region. Gift link:

"What, Starmerism rather daringly asked, would happen if we ran on deliverism without delivering?"

he’s upset that the number is so low

‘Melissophobia’ is a fear of bees. ‘Mel’ is Latin for “honey.” The name, ‘Melissa,’ comes from the Greek word for “honeybee.” In Greek mythology, Melissa was a nymph who fed the infant Zeus honey instead of milk. Later, the gods turned her into a bee (spoiler alert).

In honor of his apparent victory: @bradlander.bsky.social eats a hot dog on the Cyclone

Penzeys has amazing, high quality spices, and may be the most intensely Trump-hating private company in the USA. Like, they have a whole Republicans Are Immoral page prominently displayed on their website: www.penzeys.com/shop/about-r...

ADA leaders were forcibly removed from their own meeting for sharing copies of an ADA OpEd critical of Jay Bhattacharya. Thanks to you it's now got >125,000 views. As CDC interim director, Jay also blocked publication of this paper because it showed that COVID vaccines work. You know what to do.

We could use more people DOING something about Elon Musk instead of just amplifying his Stürmerposting. You can dismiss the Tesla dealer protests as "shitlib" all you want but it's 1000x more effective than just soyjack pointing at the guy's tweets

Today is election day in New York, Maryland, and Utah! Want to keep up with the coverage? Follow these local newsrooms and reporters for the very latest:

They all belong to the genre “I have more money than god but will act like an eternal victim for being criticized for something I did, in fact, do”

One of the reasons you have proportional sentencing is that escalation in one area tends to lead to escalations in others. If you’re going to do 20 years for having a little bit of crack, you may as well become a dealer and make real money, goes the idea.

New, from me: The stakes of the Reflecting Pool debacle seem simultaneously low enough to laugh about, but significant enough to gin up outrage. The mismanagement reflects seven broader themes of the Trump administration: 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-the-r...

Perfect example of why these sites do not provide any meaningful insight into elections. And just so we’re clear…

Clean sweep for Zohran, soooooo maybe the most politically effective mayor in NYC history, in addition to being good at the job.

it is impossible to overestimate how stupid and horny occupying dipshits are, whether they’re Chechen soldiers or ICE agents

I wanna give a big shoutout specifically to my friends @junaidforus.bsky.social and @nidaallam.bsky.social, both of whom had very close losses earlier this year in the primaries that — as heartbreaking as they were — a lot of progressives learned from.

"Juan" sent us this pic of farm workers bent over cutting and packing bok choy by hand in Lamont CA. "Bok choy is a delicate crop. We must be very careful handling it so it doesn't bruise. As we go through the rows we quickly look over each plant for size & maturity." #WeFeedYou

Today’s free newsletter is about how Silicon Valley — as exemplified by the AI bubble — has abandoned its supposed principles of rationality and meritocracy, and now more closely resembles a cargo cult desperate to recreate bygone eras of growth. www.wheresyoured.at/cargo-culture/

Brexit was bad, but electing Trump twice is like doing Brexit and then hiring the Hell's Angels to do security for it.

Mayor Mamdani showed to the DSA election night party and introduced newly elected slate winners Diana Moreno, Aber Kawas, Samantha Kattan, and David Orkin

definitely not. and I think at least half of it is down to Elon buying Twitter

My 10 Year Brexit take: Elites shit the bed. Both major political parties went along with something they mostly knew was a bad idea. They reaped decades-long populist rhetoric against the EU project that they had sowed. They handed governing over to liars and populists.

The news shows that Madison Square Garden, operated by Jim Dolan, is not only deploying controversial facial recognition technology but keeping track of specific people who take issue with it. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story by @josephcox.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/madison-squa...

my husband’s boss should let him come home when i’m bored

"we have bluesky at home" bluesky at home:

"Ms. Adams was investigated under a controversial law passed in Indiana meant to further “intellectual diversity” and prevent students from being subjected to political views unrelated to the course." The course: “Diversity, Human Rights and Social Justice.”

imo it’s basically the same reason we can’t stop talking about Ballroom for very long, it’s completely consumed Trump and the media takes direction from Trump on what to talk about when all he wants to do all day is complain about the reflecting pool, that’s what everyone else hears about too

love to learn what rights the Guardian Council has deleted by decree this week

WaPo just put out a great story exposing memos showing Tulsi Gabbard's guru and his group guided her positions and inflated her support. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio... TPM first reported on signs they were doing this in January 2025. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/wh...

As Elon Musk finally begins to sweat over the up to 14 million condemned death by his USAID cuts, we must remember that these cuts are ongoing and could actually be reversed. These people could be saved

⚠️ Assuming this patient IS Trump—and the descriptor, circumstances, and official non-denial point in that direction—the important news is that Trump has severe and potentially life-threatening pulmonary hypertension that is being covered up by the White House. No-paywall: archive.is/202606230851...

It is very clear that we need to go exponentially harder at rubbing Elon’s nose in his own genocidal filth.

a week after the signing at versailles?

yes! so we might as well actually run on “radical” ideas!

NEW: Madison Square Garden compiled a list of activists who have publicly criticized the venue’s use of facial recognition technology, putting their tweets and comments into a document that was then accessible to other people inside the company, 404 Media has found.

a lot of people have never been sent a picture of a man in a ghillie suit pointing a rifle at the camera accompanied by text that is just their own home address and a date in the near future and it really shows. “death threat” used to mean something!!!

one of the best discussions of AI I've heard, very good stuff

these sentences are wildly vindictive and disproportionate and should be commuted immediately by the next non-fascist president

"Juan" sent this from where they are weeding a green chili fields in the Bakersfield CA area. "Weeding chili plants is very hard as we have to be bent over for hours at a time. By the end of the day my back hurts." #WeFeedYou

DSA election night party ends with Seeger’s “Solidarity Forever,” which attendees continue singing acapella after the music ends. Many continue mingling, much of the conversation being astonishment and unrepentant joy.

This entire administration is Poster’s Madness in real life. Simply no ability to take an L

Exactly what happened to the reflecting pool appears to have been accurately predicted by this thread—before it happened:

hey chris, your phone’s at 11%. might want to find a charger

Larry Sanger, one of Wikipedia’s cofounders, was banned from editing the site indefinitely after other editors determined he was canvassing, or in other words, calling on his followers off platform in order to influence Wikipedia’s content. www.404media.co/wikipedia-co...

I, like you, am tired of I-talked-to-a-Trump-voter-in-a-diner stories. But newly published research that involved weeks of contact with conservatives and their communities offered some novel insights that I hadn't considered. So I wrote about it. Gift link: shorturl.at/3FeaO

There was a revolution in Cuba for a reason. And this? Yeah, this was the reason:

Discworld QOTD, from Making Money

Remember, it’s not hypocrisy, it’s an assertion of supremacy. Supremacy does not aspire to consistency

the popehat thing should be a temp suspension but honestly given the entire history of moderation on this website why is anyone surprised that “thing that can very plausibly be read as a death threat” got someone suspended

i sometimes feel like like that principal skinner cartoon questioning myself whenever i read about this guys new ideas

"Leo" says, "In the red cherries we earn $4 per 25lb bucket. We start at 3am & leave by 11. The 12ft ladders we use to pick from high branches are wet w/dew at 3am. This makes it dangerous. Still we need the extra money this 1 month peak period provides & work fast." #WeFeedYou

Thinking about the idea of heaven, and how the idea of living in luxury for all eternity doesn’t appeal to me, but I’d love an afterlife where I get to tell off everybody I had grievances with Then I realized this might be a reason why we Jews tend not to fixate too much on the idea of heaven

"Yes, I know this sounds like a horrifying idea for humanity and an existential threat to the future of life on this planet but I guarantee you that China is trying to do exactly the same thing and we mustn't let them beat us to the punch!" If you hear anyone speak this way, you're talking to Satan

The thing about people demanding I produce examples of leftist arguments about the perfidy of USAID is that 1. I have learned no evidence is good enough, so I don’t bother and 2. If I do provide evidence, it will be claimed that I’m Doing Cyberbullying. Anyway, hit dogs holler.

by all accounts he’s basically got a mini secret service around him at all times with 20+ agents (who hilariously call him ‘voyager’ as a code name) the man is utterly terrified of someone taking a shot at him

Think watching Elon lose his trillionaire status due to the stock market, perhaps figuring out SpaceX is 100x overpriced, is fun? Wait till we do it with taxes!
