my one plea as we ring in the new year with Zohran being sworn in as mayor is to take some fucking wins

he’s not going to be perfect, there will be setbacks and disappointments, but take some joy and some pride in the good that comes out of this

good things are more durable when we celebrate them

A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.

Zohran Mamdani scares the ADL more than these guys and I think it's fair to ask why

The closest thing the left had to an answer to the question of what the future should look like (including aesthetically though with mixed results) was the green new deal. the petering out of that movement’s popular momentum in the Biden years has left a void that has yet to be filled

BREAKING: In Minden, NV, striking baristas are now arriving at Starbucks's distribution center for western states!

From PA to NV, we're showing the world how urgent it is for Starbucks to listen to their workers. It's time for a fair first contract and for Starbucks to resolve ULPs NOW.

These professors and other faculty will vote on unionizing in the coming year.

If they win their union it will be the largest public union in Pennsylvania.

every time i'm tapping the "if you are firmly anti-gambling you will always be on the right side of history" sign
I have come to the conclusion that all gambling should be made illegal again; or at the very least, must all be conducted in person at bookies.

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer
