An Indian-Muslim socialist who is openly pro Palestine is going to be mayor of a city that is bigger than 38 states

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This week we are breaking the Internet but in a fun way www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

we don’t have a government. we have a series of police agencies meant to eradicate non-white people at home and abroad. that is the one thing our country is good at. beyond that, it can’t take care of its own, or even rein in one openly maniacal, obviously senile old man

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

Millions of us have been against this since (at least) 2002... and that is why we had to be politically marginalized. Under capitalism, within the logic of the superrich, there's no profit in justice or peace. Or in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Mike Johnson and Co. are likely giddy at the prospect of triggering the Rapture… WHICH IS NOT A LEGITIMATE READING OF SCRIPTURE AND IS JUST SPARKLING NIHILISM COATED IN ANTI-SEMITISM, WHY IN THE NAME OF DOLLY PARTON’S SAINTED WIG ARE WE LETTING THESE PEOPLE ANYWHERE NEAR THE LEVERS OF GOVERNMENT?!

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen." --1 John 4:20

The world’s richest people are asking us to turn over the economy, education, and just general human thought to AI, and then they’re openly getting upset when AI answers a question correctly and saying “oh we’re going to fix that”, it’s like Rod Serling shit

Iran’s bombing of Soroka Hospital is a war crime. Israel’s bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital, Turkish-Palestinian Hospital, Al-Nasr Children's Hospital, Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital & Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in Gaza are war crimes. It’s that simple.

A hundred hokey old movies and TV shows got stupid gritty reboots in the last couple of decades. But not the one which is a natural for that treatment!

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

Everything in the wider world is terrible and too much but the sun is shining, the smartest and kindest people I know are working hard to do the right thing and hope persists in this undeserving world.

I find this photograph, by Tim Gruber for the NYT, of assassinated Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortmann eerie, apt, and moving. An elegy for this moment.

sex abuse and harassment are not character flaws or lapses in judgment. they're revelations. they tell us something disqualifying about how a person thinks about power and about other people. it means that, whatever other qualities you may or may not have, you are *not a good leader,* period.

if you are under 30 years old and picking a font size for something other people need to read, not just yourself: that’s too small. still too small. A LITTLE BIGGER #accessibility #ux #typography

In honour of Joy Division's iconic album Unknown Pleasures being released on this day in 1979, I'm again sharing one of my favourite ever video clips (Peanuts vs Joy Division dance party)...

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

Live your life so millions of your fellow citizens don't take to the streets to tell you to go fuck yourself on your birthday.

See you there #Seatle #NoKings

Empire always comes home. All the sins we have committed abroad were always destined to find us in our homes, on our streets. We're being haunted by the violence we allowed to thrive.

We need answers about what happened on Alderaan and assurances from the Empire that it won’t happen again.
