“I want to see Graham Platner in the U.S. Senate. Not because he’s perfect, but because he seems ready to fight the right battles — with grit, honesty, and a vision rooted in service. My purity test isn’t in his past; it’s in my children’s future.”

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

There's nothing at all to indicate he would be. There are no similarities. This is something people outside Maine worry about for some reason that's hard for us to understand. From inside Maine, I can reassure you, it's not a concern. The actual concern would be Janet Mills becoming another Manchin.

Punished for... having a period?

Yes, you read that right – behind bars, menstruation is treated like misconduct. Here's how prisons punish people for a bodily function they have no control over 🧵

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

It's not their fault. Democrats don't have some magic lever they can pull. They couldn't and can't actually do anything about this situation. Nonetheless, it's very important you keep voting for them so they can do something about this situation.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Older people now make up 5x as much of the prison population as they did 3 decades ago.

Turning prisons into “makeshift nursing homes” is one of the nation’s most wasteful, morally bankrupt experiments to date.

The idea that incarceration is a problem unique to big cities is a myth.

Take a look at New York: People in state prisons come from every corner of the state, but upstate counties send the most people to prison per capita.

I thought this was exactly right from Michelle Goldberg:“Online, there’s a perception that Platner’s fans appreciate him because they think his biography and aesthetic might appeal to Trump voters. I’m sure that’s true for some, but others are flocking to him because he’s one of the few candidates

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved
Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada'
Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.
