You're also not a sucker for believing in people. I get the sense that this needs to be stated from time to time.

After hearing this guy shitposts on Reddit and has sick tats, I'm even more FOR him to defeat Susan Collins.

We need to stop holding rising Progressives to impossible standards; more real and imperfect they are, the more we need them in office. Can't fight Nazis w/ the Hakeem Jeffries of the world!

If we want to defeat Susan Collins, we need to try something new. The same old tired playbook will not work.

All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??

Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

Glad to see Gloucester Twp race on your list! Mayor Mayer's campaign also reported a $24k donation in Oct to a PAC sending out hate mailers, yard signs, and a website.

The pac is called citizens for government reform, but it's attacking the reform candidate, and funded by county commissioner

Or Trump is a lifelong liar and propagandist who doesn't care if he's caught because he knows he won't be punished.

Trump is not the admin's main ideologue, but the idea that he's brainwashed instead of flagrantly lying is bizarrely generous. Flagrant lying showcases power. He's always done it.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Good time for a plug to your local library (yes, yours):

Check your library's website > digital resources (maybe by another name) to see if you get NYT included with your library card!

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

Tons of Philadelphia’s trash are burned in Chester. A bill in City Council could stop that.

Being cleaner and greener "cannot come at the expense of a city more vulnerable than we are," said Councilmember Jamie Gauthier.

via @sophia-schmidt.bsky.social

Philadelphia could stop burning its trash if this bill passes City Council

The proposal would require the city to rethink its waste disposal contracts after they expire next summer.

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Undocumented father killed by ICE agent in Franklin Park shooting had no criminal background, lawyer says

The undocumented father shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park, Illinois, only had a history of minor traffic violations, not a criminal record, according to his attorney.

Oh man, are we doing the religion and the left discourse again? First of all, people of faith *are part of the left*, regardless of how you feel about it—and we need those people. People of faith are also a big chunk of the working class. Do you want a movement of movements or a fucking clubhouse?

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.
