🧵 The autoworker at the Dearborn Truck Plant is a proud member of a strong and fighting union—the UAW. He believes in freedom of speech, a principle we wholeheartedly embrace, and we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job.

If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries.

Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Just watched this cute video, and learned that his mom is Mira Nair. Monsoon Wedding, etc.? I’m sure most of you knew this, but I didn’t.
In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

They have not incentivized these young people to have kids and they know it.
They neglected us Xers, snatched the rug out from under the Millennials’ finances, traumatized Gen Z… now they want the birth rate to go up?!
Give folks single payer healthcare, UBI, housing & a year or two off. Or STFU!

The modern university was a bureaucratic creation, a true modernist project despite medieval trappings and early modern traditions, and as such always contained seeds of its own destruction.
As @lollardfish.bsky.social says, only labor solidarity (sometimes disguised as intellectualism) will save it

It's the managerialism that runs these institutions, an administrative class removed from the core purposes of universities--teaching and researching--which deploys a combination of political, economic, and cultural power to aggrandize themselves through the propagation of bullshit labor
When the dust settles, and if universities have meaningfully survived, it will be worth asking how institutions usually so resistant to thoroughgoing change chose to leap with both feet into an untested technology they didn't understand and didn't know how to use.

Fascinating survey data on the missing Biden voters by Lake Research. The voters who sat out in '24 weren't looking for a centrist or turned off by trans rights. They want a genuine economic populist agenda: take on corporate greed, lower costs, and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

“If the region was such a threat that Trump felt the need to deploy the military against its own citizens, why has the Vice President visited the area twice over the past several weeks, including taking his family to Disneyland this past weekend?”
The Military Occupied LA for 40 Days and All They Did Was Detain One Guy
He wasn’t even a protester — just a veteran rushing to an appointment in a federal building.

Sent over the objections of California officials, the military has detained one man who was rushing to an appointment in a federal building, not protesting.

If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.
