This is actually quite fucked up but imagine how good it feels as a state assembly campaign volunteer to expose malfeasance on the part of the incumbent through careful forensic analysis of public documents
We've uncovered what might be the biggest case of petition fraud in NYC's history, and now I'm taking my opponent to court.
Love this new statement on police violence and how we should respond by examining where the system failed from Alex Vitale www.currentaffairs.org/news/what-ho...
We encourage anyone with the means to do so to join the Nuestra América Convoy to deliver urgent humanitarian aid to Cuba.

LIFT THE BLOCKADE The US is waging a war of extermination against the Cuban people. Sanctions as a mode of warfare are slower and quieter but no less cruel than bombs: they explicitly target civilians and disproportionately harm the most vulnerable. (Pink text on dark purple background, with an DSA Emerge's logo of a sledgehammer and apple blossoms in a communist motif, and an image of a shipping boat.) END THE WAR ON CUBA
The recent intensification of the blockade, including through illegal intervention in Venezuela which forced the state to end its crucial oil shipments, has led to an acute crisis throughout Cuban society. People are without electricity, transportation, and food. Hospitals can’t treat their patients. Children can’t go to school. (Pink text on dark purple background, with an image of a diverse set of Cuban people protesting, one holding a sign that says "NO AL BLOQUEO," others holding flags and banners.)
Would-be colonizers like Marco Rubio have a single goal: to destroy the only socialist state in the Western hemisphere. Like the American war on Vietnam and the Israeli war on Gaza, they are ready to destroy countless lives in a vain attempt to salvage a dying hegemony. (Pink text on dark purple background, with an image of a U.S. airforce plane dropping missiles, and a picture of Marco Rubio speaking.)
But the spirit of July 26 lives on in the people of Cuba and in all revolutionaries. Despite decades under siege, Cuba has endured as a beacon of hope for a better world under communism. (Pink text on dark purple background, with a photo from the Cuban Revolution, featuring people of all races and genders, some armed and some not, gathered around a military vehicle, with Fidel Castro waving.)
The US is waging a war of extermination against the Cuban people, like we did in Vietnam and like we are doing with our Israeli allies in Gaza.
Socialists around the world, but especially in the US, must organize to lift the blockade and end the war on Cuba.
the biggest takeaway? Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! is the most important, influential cultural product of the century (so far)
listen to some interviews i did for @mmflint.bsky.social at no kings nyc! something heartening: people from across the political and generational spectrum are identifying as antifacist, which i think is meaningful when it has become effectively illegal to do so. youtu.be/KZ3eWy4g-Ak
hi, sorry i am never here but all of you should follow my boss on this app!
every leftist candidate that we get in office needs a vociferous movement TO THEIR LEFT that continues pushing and pushing, even when it's "our guy". the stronger the leftist vision the more they'll be able to fight for. we need to blast the overton window open wide enough for them to step through.
Fighting the good fight of trying to get me on here by tagging me saying smart things
It could be cool…
everybody needs a bad bitch in their ear reminding them that it makes sense their personal development is being stunted by critical sleep issues and migraines
Bro that’s crazy??? Congrats!!!
Ever since The Nib ceased publication, I've been missing that quarterly does of thoughtful, deeply felt non-fiction comic storytelling. This, a story about baby monitors and also about parenting in an age of abundant data, hits that feeling perfectly www.theverge.com/c/24278723/c...
Ok we are opposites! I think I’m decent at writing but always resisted that my real skill was working with people because I didn’t understand how that would fit into ~being a creative~
I mean technically I did write a movie but the guard rails of the format were what allowed me to
That’s so interesting! I wonder if we have opposing insecurities or proclivities here: I *always* wanted to be a writer but am too overwhelmed by being responsible for that much decision making on my own and get super bogged down by my own brain. I reallyyyy need other people involved
It’s funny cause the former should be the more overwhelming course but it’s really not. You can insulate yourself from the pure act of creation in a lot of ways
Honestly? I became a film person because I was too chicken to be a writer
Talking about my parents and calling them my “folx”
Dylan Saba
Me too lol
Guys I think @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has the juice
LOCK IN
I mean… I won’t lie, it is. but they’re juuuust terrible and out of touch enough that it’s never soul crushing
Honestly… warm human is kinda metric coded to me
Did you ever see him live? Shit was an experience
Life is divided into before and after I found out that Caroline Polachek does THAT thing (“vocal flipping”) with her voice naturally
