My hope for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is that he points out his opposition fervently and repeatedly. If you can’t get free fast buses, explain exactly who and what is standing in the way. Same with universal childcare, rent freezes, etc. Make sure everyone knows who or what opposes it. Loudly.

Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas are on strike at corporate stores across the country, fighting for a fair contract and to stop Starbucks’ union-busting.

And if more journalists + streamers + YouTubers keep ignoring this issue, what they are doing is throwing you — trans, gay, artist, smut customer — to the dogs
A lot of people really aren’t getting it. In less than a year we’ve seen it leap from the *most* objectionable content that I’m not even really comfortable talking about here to far more innocuous stuff, they’re not going to arbitrarily decide to stop here

Primary challenges are always good no matter the circumstance.

“I certainly don't think a primary challenge to the leader is a good idea right now,” she told @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/11/18/a...

This is an all too common thing with abled body people believing it’s some edict of their’s from on high to police disabled spaces. In my area, it’s usually over #disabled parking spaces. Don’t hang the placard fast enough or don’t look disabled enough, and some #ableist will surely comment.
“What if I hadn’t had my #WalkingStick to ‘prove’ it? What if I had been having a good day & not been using it? What would he have done? Would he have dragged me out [of the #DisabledToilet ] & publicly shamed me?”: buff.ly/zogm6T5

I don’t know if anyone can relate to this. I believe there are people like me out there that absolutely can. But I can count on my hands the number of days I’ve been pain free in 8 years.

If @democrats.org don’t ditch people that have this mentality, where an avowed Christian nationalist can be in the party, then they deserve to lose forever. Raskin, like so many other establishment dems, need to go.
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

I can’t wait to see democrats campaign with her in the near future.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

"Ended up having sex" is a weird way of saying, "was raped."
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

There's a new frontier in treating autoimmune diseases. Today's treatments tamp down the friendly fire but don't fix what's causing it.
