Oliver Willis has probably forgotten more about US politics than I will ever know, but I think this win-Republican-support-with-logic approach became irrelevant around 1981, with the first Reagan inauguration
Just once I’d like Schumer and Jeffries to show up on tv and not sound like wet noodles. Today isn’t that day. We’re faced with fascist thugs trying to destroy everything we believe in and the both of them are playing out of the safe consultant playbook like it’s still 1993.

Boston Herald spilling ink, bitterness and innuendos this week, making a big deal of Mayor Wu making a friendly bet with the mayor of Seattle — at no cost to Boston.
The Herald patriarchy had no problem with Walsh, Menino or prior mayors making these types of friendly wagers, did they?

This is the bottom line you must demand from all your electeds— especially if they would like your support and vote this November or ever.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

From my work on gerrymandering, I know that New Jersey politicians play dirty. Now my campaign faces its first test.
To beat their petty games, I need at least 1,000 signatures from Democrats and unaffiliated voters in the 12th District. It's cold work. To help, sign up at SamForNJ.org - or DM me!

Big Tech surveillance is fueling ICE violence. Join our friends at @mediajustice.bsky.social for a discussion exposing how Flock and Amazon Ring are partnering with ICE to criminalize our communities: mediajustice.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?...
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Flock Ring and the MF'n PolICE // Flock Ring y la maldita policía. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
From day one, the Trump regime has depended on Big Tech corporations to advance its violent agenda. And in October 2025, two of these corporations, Flock and Amazon’s Ring announced a partnership to further entrench their violent tech weapons into the State’s surveillance and policing apparatus.
Flock and Ring’s dangerous track record include being used by ICE to target migrants for deportation, being tapped by police agencies to identify protesters, and by government officials seeking to criminalize trans folks and abortion seekers.
But communities across the country are fighting back! People are organizing to expose Flock’s Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) and Amazon’s Ring cameras for what they are - mass surveillance and criminalization networks used to target our people - and to stop contracts between them and polICE.
Join us to learn more about what Big Tech corporations are pushing to surveil us, why partnerships between Flock/Ring and the mf’n polICE are dangerous, and how you can join the fight to stop these partnerships to build truly safe communities where we have housing, healthcare, education, and other community needs, not racist surveillance.
Desde el primer día, el régimen de Trump ha dependido de las grandes corporaciones tecnológicas (la Big Tech) para impulsar su agenda violenta. Y en octubre de 2025, dos de estas corporaciones, Flock y Ring de Amazon, anunciaron una asociación para integrar aún más sus armas tecnológicas violentas en el aparato de vigilancia y control policial del Estado.
Acompañanos para aprender más sobre las armas de vigilancia que las grandes corporaciones tecnológicas están impulsando, por qué las asociaciones entre Flock/Ring y la policía son peligrosas, y cómo puedes unirte a la lucha para detener estas asociaciones y construir comunidades verdaderamente seguras donde tengamos vivienda, atención médica, educación y otras necesidades comunitarias, en vez de vigilancia racista.
