Today is the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior, "in the rooms of her ice water mansions": Nov. 10, 1975. All 29 died. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about it. Here is an article for really good info on @WSWS_Updates

Katie Wilson is up 91 votes in the Seattle Mayor's race as Wilson-mentum continues to pay dividends.
Wilson-mentum is real.

The gap in the Seattle Mayor's race has narrowed to just 4,300 votes, or 1.88%.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Pretty well said.

Blakeley has a go at Dem leaders and it’s spot on.

If Chuck Schumer was in the Warsaw Ghetto he would have told everyone to surrender because Hitler promised he'd consider maybe holding a meeting on not killing everyone.

I swear to god trash workers could bring this country to its god damned knees so fast. Not only can they cripple just about any city by withholding their labor they also operate big fucking vehicles that can serve as barriers/rams and some of them have robot arms on the front that can lift shit.

I want one.

I write often about how private equity is destroying US healthcare. Lina Khan is a rare person who has used her position in power to fight back against private equity’s hold on the US economy. Very excited to see what she does in New York.
If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
