L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it. Image 8:04 PM · Nov 2, 2025 · 444.4K Views https://x.com/SenLouiseLucas/status/1985151099527942517
Maybe but if Jessica Tisch chooses to stay on then I think that will provide some cover from that issue. The media loves their little rich girl darling.
Zohran mamdani you have 48 hours to release how fast you ran the mile in 7th grade or the New York Times will publish without comment
A graphic of Bernie and Zohran smiling. Text reads “BERNIE ENDORSES ZOHRAN.”
As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life.
As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.
Very neat trick for Thatcher to announce that society doesn't exist but somehow the English blame immigrants for making their country into an island of strangers lol.
from AP article: "Activists and workers scuffle briefly with police as they tried to remove the barricades during a May Day rally near the Malacanang presidential palace in Manila, Philippines on Thursday, May 1, 2025. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila)" A block of mostly masked protestors are ramming a barricade into a line of police officers in riot gear. One protestor is shown throwing a front kick into a riot shield
happy International Workers' Day to all those who celebrate
Lol he did the meme
Close but Booker didn't filibuster anything! He was just yapping for likes, it turns out. He should try blocking some legislation next time!
This isn't a step in the right direction! This is a significant step back from an exercise of power that is routine in the Senate (the filibuster)! There's no actual power being exercised here beyond pure theater.
Right. The most salient point is that he could have done this over the CR, but now he's just using the energy of the filibuster without its power.
Good to see Mateo back in the lineup!

NEW: A federal judge in Massachusetts has granted a temporary restraining order barring the Trump administration from deporting any person to a country they are not a national of (so-called 'third country removals') without written notice and an opportunity to apply for protection from that country.
These grand civic institutions are already in the throes of oligarchy. This just signs their names in blood. The cliché is true: no one will save us but us.
free palestine
Beyond parody — after taking a blowtorch to the federal government the Trump administration is now in court saying they can’t obey court orders because their staff has been cut 🤔
Thus in after days, what by the voyages of ships, what by lore and star- craft, the kings of Men knew that the world was indeed made round, and yet the Eldar were permitted still to depart and to come to the Ancient West and to Avallónë, if they would. Therefore the loremasters of Men said that a Straight Road must still be, for those that were permitted to find it. And they taught that, while the new world fell away, the old road and the path of the memory of the West still went on, as it were a mighty bridge invisible that passed through the air of breath and of flight (which were bent now as the world was bent), and traversed Ilmen which flesh unaided cannot endure, until it came to Tol Eressëa, the Lonely Isle, and maybe even beyond, to Valinor, where the Valar still dwell and watch the unfolding of the story of the world. And tales and rumours arose along the shores of the sea concerning mariners and men forlorn upon the water who, by some fate
My biggest problem with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings is that when they sail to the Undying Lands at the end they go on a normal ship, whereas Tolkien was clear that it was a spaceship. Their flesh could not survive without space protection.
Picture attached for my vision of the ending.
They didn't tell me they'd sell you the Gameboy color light for when you were driving home from Christmas at Grandma's. Thought that was lost to history. Thank you random Queens elder. Respect.

I'm in a bar in Queens and I found my spirit animal
Me: BATMAN BEGINS is great, but I was amused by the writers’-fiat plot device that a place can be SO corrupt that some reasonably-organized foreign actor can just puppeteer it on a whim.
Me, 20 years later: fuck
Liberals are so cooked dawg. Half of the old resistance twitter gang is so excited a centenarian FBI/CIA sent a nonagenarian Republican Senator a letter lol smh
I've spent the past few days talking to climate scientists and idk man we have real problems. LA was just on fire. This ::waves hands:: reminds me of when Avasarala said Erenwright was trying to consolidate power before the apocalypse
The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem
in five years when we look back on today it will baffle people that the two biggest stories at the time weren't the fact that elon musk was a hopeless drug addict and donald trump was dangerously senile
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
