This is a fantastic piece in @thenation.com with this particularly absurd anecdote — the REI CEO invoking social justice language to union bust. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

The Socialist Caucus in the Wisconsin Legislature Just Doubled in Size

One of my favorite contemporary bands, @thebrazenyouth.bsky.social , made an account — hometown, the brazen youth if these wild winds are yours, love it all, etc. just can’t skip classics. Cool to see them on here.

I am so grateful we have publishing houses like @versobooks.bsky.social that take politics seriously. Great video with Noah Kulwin and wonderfully produced www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkI1...

We are bringing this back in a very big way

The answer hasn’t changed, it’s still join DSA: www.dsausa.org/get-involved/

Just because the GOP are war hawks does not change the fact that Harris and Dems wanted more Gazan blood spilled.

Gladys the cat, Gladys the GOAT

This is the exact desired outcome of everyone frothing at the mouth to blame homeless people. Even if they aren’t responsible for this specific fire, they represent the chaos and disorder the fire has caused and should be punished accordingly.

Feel like this is the crux of the Mamdani campaign in this mayoral race, from @cityandstateny.bsky.social

The Eighteenth Brumaire is Marx’s greatest literary feat (and also where the gears of historical materialism as analysis really get to churning!)

Weird read. The first two thirds were a chore to read and not very interesting or useful, the last third is brilliant. Wished it was more political and covered his adult years more. His prose, perhaps due to his health when writing this, is unfortunately inconsistent, but its peak is immaculate.

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.

Great read to start the new year from @dennismhogan.bsky.social — we need more writers with good politics writing in the biggest possible outlets in 2025: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/01/o...

My parents have a very nice “A Charlie Brown Christmas” cookie jar🎄

It was mostly a rough, unproductive year, but I published some fun stuff including three print cover stories (pictured), made my Jacobin print debut, and proofread issues of Bookforum and New York Review of Architecture

Is the political menu feeling a little stale? In 2025, we're going to try something different. youtu.be/dQ8Dt5NtsNQ?...

Hello! Consider making our magazine part of your year-end giving: nyra.nyc/donate For every $48 we receive, we will give a free subscription to a student. Read more below.

Joe Biden pardoning the Kids for Cash judge is cruel and fitting for a president who has only ever shown compassion for people who abuse power and hurt those who can’t defend themselves.

went on @thereidout.bsky.social to talk about who our healthcare system is really ‘efficient’ for www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/...

The overwhelming, unified reaction to all this is that people really hate the health insurance industry and all those associated with it. I can only imagine this will make the Democratic Party want to be more tied to it going forward.

Ah heck, Merry Christmas☃️🎅

Labor movement will always be facing an uphill battle with people like Randi in leadership

If someone says they “work in education” - they are 100% evil. If you’re a teacher or secretary, you just say that. If you “work in education” you are using Silicon Valley money to utilize AI to eliminate art and sports programs in poor neighborhoods

No comment on the Manosphere essay, but it brings me immense joy that Conner O’Malley shouts out @mikeduncan.bsky.social Revolutions:

“Liking” unions conceptually is useless and you might as well be honest and say that you oppose workers demanding better for themselves and their class.

Got into an argument about the basketball GOAT and standpoint epistemology last night, which reminded me of this fantastic interview with @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social jacobin.com/2022/08/defe...

“After attempting and failing to borrow its way out of the crisis, social democracy eventually responded to the charge that social democracy itself was at the root of the economic crisis by wholeheartedly agreeing.” Great work from @sunraysunray.bsky.social jacobin.com/2024/11/deal...

I think that life is made a lot harder for AOC because Rashida Tlaib (and other squad members to a lesser extent) exist.

Shame about Matt Gaetz considering all the great stuff Stoller, Grim, and Jilani were convinced he was going to do!

As Attorney General, Matt Gaetz has a plan to prosecute pedophiles. Google “Matt Gaetz pedophile” for more information!

Gaetz withdrawal is encouraging, not just because we won't have AG Gaetz but because it's taken Trump about two weeks to squander his supposedly invincible mandate and remind everyone of his staggering incompetence and dysfunction—which, per last time, are the main checks on his power.
