Work sucks etc but they do not want you to be able to support yourself or pursue your dreams; they want you dependent on a man, so he can treat you as badly as he feels like without you having the option to leave.

It’s hip on the left and right alike to hate “liberal feminism” (a term I challenge detractors to define—usually the “liberal” is silent). But the fascists of our moment hate nothing more than the actual liberal feminist ideal: a public sphere where women are equal. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/o...

Really cannot stress enough how many times we’ve witnessed ICE or CBP agents laughing at and taunting protesters or bystanders as they fired chemical munitions at them.

They are having a grand time rolling with their boys, accountable to no one, wreaking havoc through our streets.

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

@michaellangenyc.bsky.social on X: "With each passing second, I am more bullish on Zohran Mamdani exceeding 55%. Manhattan and Brooklyn continue to turn out in droves, with lines reported across base neighborhoods. We’re pacing for a record number of votes.

The vibes are screaming landslide."

“A Mamdani victory is a serious problem for those in the party who believe, as we do, that they should pay millions for our shitty advice rather than, as Mamdani has, generate unprecedented voter turnout, volunteerism, and youth support across the most diverse democratic coalition ever assembled.

Good gracious Third Way

Screenshot of article that reads: “A Mamdani victory is a serious political problem for those in the party who believe, as we do, that our primary focus must be on flipping red and purple seats blue, expanding the map for Democrats, and creating a path back to Congress and the White House,” Matt Bennett, executive vice president of center-left think tank Third Way, told MSNBC. “The [Democratic Socialists of America] platform — which Mamdani has not repudiated — hands a potent set of weapons to Republican ad makers eager to tie Mamdani-style politics to Democrats running in much tougher places than deep blue New York.”

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Threats of mass layoffs during a shutdown have zero legal basis. A government shutdown is not the purge. It does not magically grant the President permission to do whatever he wants. There are decades of history on this.

Reporting on Trump and Vought's threats needs to make this clear.

Fascists are commandeering our public lands and dollars to create their very own elite cities on the backs We the People. This, THIS is their IDEA of housing.

What are 'freedom cities'? Billionaire CEOs' plan could reshape America

A coalition of "startup nations" have met with the Trump administration in order to create areas of the U.S. free from regulation.

BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) just signed Trump’s gerrymander into law.

If courts do not intervene, a referendum effort fails or the GOP again ignores the will of voters, the GOP will have locked in a 7–1 majority in the U.S. House for the rest of the decade.
