I know it’s incredibly dorky and cringe, but I’ll be thinking a ton about Sam’s speech over the next four years. Never forget that there is good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.

The People's Fabric @peoplesfabric.com · 12h

Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams.

Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.

New York's Richest Ask 'how Dare He?' as Mamdani Closes In on City Hall
The city's 1% realize their influence is waning: It's hard to be chill and relaxed'

It was just after finishing a set of pelvic floor exercises that a Pilates instructor on the Upper East Side recently brought up one of the least popular men in the neighborhood: New York City
mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani,.

All of a sudden the class, which costs $50 a pop, became something of a political confab. In between sets, some women strategized about helping former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo,
who they see as more palatable, pull off an upset. Others gushed about a recent New York Post cover depicting Gov. Kathy Hochul, who had recently endorsed Mamdani, as a devotee of Mao Zedong.

New York's richest residents can't stop talking about Mamdani, the Democratic nominee. To many of the city's uber-wealthy, his sustained
popularity has been a shock. The 33-year-old, self. described Democratic Socialist is the overwhelming favorite to win City Hall next month, on a platform that includes free buses and free child care--programs that, the moneyed
are well aware, somebody needs to shell out for.

"I hope Mamdani is going to give out free Xanax," said Caroline Leventhal, a lifelong Upper East sider who co-founded 'Mic'd and Medicated," a podcast that dissects the lifestyle of cosmetic surgeries and private ski instructors. "It's hard to
be chill and relaxed."

I won’t be at a No Kings protest tomorrow because I am in England, where they have a literal king. Oh, the irony. Though I heard somewhere that there will be scattered protests over here branded as “No Tyrants” which is cool and also kinda funny

I was raised Catholic (kind of), and I had no idea the Pope could just do this. Could deal a major blow to the Christian right’s power in American politics

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

Like a lot of us here, the Lock 'Em Up-est comments I see on social media are coming from, well, extremely normal people. So I wanted to explain how extremely helpful it would be this weekend if they scared the shit out of everyone driving them nuts.

Seeing people say that "by the numbers" Stancil is right about No Kings being bigger than the civil rights mvt. But no. That's not how any of this works.

It's like saying I'm a bigger organizer than Greta Thunberg because I'm taller. It's not technically true, it's just stupid.

few things wrong with this: (a) there's zero evidence that any of these guys have changed or wish to change; (b) indeed, senior regime officials have rushed to ratify this behavior; and (c) unless this kind of thing is "frowned upon" or meets with general disapproval, why would anyone change

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 2d

I know people are eager to claim they were born perfect and never had to learn and change, unlike losers like me.

So congrats! You were born knowing conservatives are inherently racist. Eat your cookie rewards.

But remember: Telling people they aren't allowed to grow and change hurts us.

Also pre-New Deal Republicans (eg Hoover) were just as anti-labor as today’s Republicans if not more so
