I wish Brandon et al had done this in Chicago. Immediately kept people in the city informed about what they were doing, where trouble lay, and importantly what help they would need from city residents. Then a CONSISTENT communication directly from the 5th floor.
Comrades, if Zohran wins in Nov, please release a first 100 days Zine IMMEDIATELY. Y'all have our addresses. Hard copies mailed to us & then social media sharing. Lay out the immediate plans, the obstacles to those plans, and CALLS TO ACTION THAT YOU NEED FROM RESIDENTS especially to pressure Hochul

An important thing to realize about a lot of American libertarians is that they are incredibly obsessed with the concept of personal discipline as a way of improving society. This is why they love the market as they think it’s a social force that encourages self reliance
Rand Paul on RFK Jr: "One of the things I plan on talking to him about is the idea that food stamps shouldn't cover unhealthy food. I don't think that food stamps should pay for full sugar Coca-Cola, Pepsi, full sugar anything."

UPDATE: a spokesperson from JP Morgan Chase told the @texasobserver.org they fired the operator of a neo-Nazi X account who we identified as their employee.
"This person is no longer at the firm. We do not tolerate hate in any form and take incidents such as this very seriously."

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy.

I really do not get this obsession with trying to bully people to stay on any social media app.
“Leaving X because you don’t like Elon is the kind of purity politics that landed Democrats in this mess to begin with.”
Democrats Face an Existential Crisis on X
Conversations with a dozen insiders point to a party that is unsure about whether to leave or engage with the increasingly MAGA platform.

the wallet inspector swore it would just be a routine inspection
During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

ProPublica spoke with 135 people who had experienced "sweeps" of homeless encampments. We also distributed notecards so people could write about it in their own words.

what’s stunning to me is the reaction from rightwingers experiencing actual moderation on bsky. they don’t seem to realize how aggressively extreme their own rhetoric has gotten. these are like, facebook grampas posting memes that a decade ago you’d only find in the nazi edgelord parts of 4chan.
