Co-Executive Director, @IndivisibleTeam. She/her. If you find my headphones, let me know.

friendly reminder: primaries are for hashing out the direction of the party, general elections are for beating the fucking fascists

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

@ettingermentum nope

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

I want to be 100% clear: @GavinNewsom's fingerprints are all over the Paramount merger deal and he owns the consequences.

He has handed control of America's media ecosystem to Trump's top enablers and he should have to answer for it every day for the rest of his career.

[Julian Andreone @JulianAndreone]

David Ellison shouts out Gavin Newsom for “his support throughout this process” after the Paramount & Warner Brothers merger goes through, giving the Ellison’s control of CNN in addition to CBS

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

This is an utter disaster for democracy. Shame on @AGRobBonta and every Democratic AG who is willing to allow this rotten deal to move forward.

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

NEWS: NPR can confirm Paramount has struck a deal with Dem state AG group to acquire Warner

First reported by Bloomberg

Protections intended to insulate CNN from newsroom interference
Pledges to release 30 films, run Warner Studios & Paramount Pictures separately (for now)

[Aparna Raj @aparnafordc]

The people here *are* many of the people actively responding to ICE, trying to keep Congress from messing with DC’s budget, protesting the national guard, and pushing back against DOGE cuts.

If people outside of DC cared to see us as our own place, they might know that.

[Ruwa Romman @ruwaromman]

This just happened. I confronted Rick Jackson and asked him how he plans to deport and depart all Muslims as Governor but as usual, his team has a lot to say on Twitter but nothing here.

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

I really believe that we will look back on Minnesota and understand it as one of history’s great nonviolent resistance campaigns, the moment when the wheels truly began to come off the Trump bus

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

It's actually shocking how little Minnesota gets mentioned these days as we approach the midterms as the turning point of when everything started to fall apart for Trump.

There's a real effort to downplay how much power everyday people can have by just taking the streets.

Indivisibles are advising Democrats to fire their advisors

[POLITICO @politico]

Democratic advisers are warning their candidates not to go too hard at AI https://t.co/Zy91XcjHMN

[Greg Casar @GregCasar]

Hell no. We will win the midterms by going hard AGAINST the AI billionaires. Not by sucking up to them.

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

we gotta win 52 seats because this dipshit is absolutely planning to screw us

[CSPAN @cspan]

the head of the ADL is currently monitoring the instagram comments section of a B-list celebrity for references to another B-list celebrity

[Shaunna Thomas @SLThomas]

There is no way @OpenAI can maintain a pro-regulation posture and allow @LeadingFutureAI to continue to exist- a Super PAC that exists to defeat pro-regulation candidates- funded in large part by OpenAI President, Greg Brockman. Shut it down.

Promoters have pulled Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he called for a “Free Palestine” on stage:

“We have been notified by venues on the upcoming U.S. tour dates that they will not allow a concert to take place with Macklemore on the lineup”

A notable person of the New Left, Jewish, once told me "Some of us took 'Never Again' to mean anyone and became civil rights activists, others took it to mean just Jewish people and became Zionists.' "

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

can we get a followup question about whether Jon Finer thinks that taking a plush gig with Anduril, a weapons company founded by Palmer Luckey, is in any way "self-serving"

[Harrison Mann @Harrison_J_Mann]

Biden dep. natsec advisor Jon Finer says resigning over Gaza would have felt "self-serving, a bit performative" and wouldn't have mattered anyway because he wasn't famous enough, but also that he worried his resignation could hurt Biden's chances in the 2024 election.

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

Oh hell yes

[Jeff Stein @jstein_sun]

Nearly every day toward the end of my tenure at The Washington Post, someone would complain to me about Jeff Bezos' changes. His decimation of the local news team. His abandonment of DC sports coverage. The shriveled Bezos opinion page, with the ideological diversity of a doorknob.

Today, The Washington Sun launches. It has made enormous new investments: +110 newsroom staff; DC's legendary food columnist; truly the best DMV reporters; a beloved weather blog; a growing roster of columnists; tons of worldclass reporters across many national beats; and also me.

The Washington Sun will not be perfect. We will write stories that you find annoying, dumb, or misinformed. I will make mistakes (& tell me if I do - [email protected]!). But at a time where investments in reporting are evaporating, I'm so excited The Sun is hiring real journalists doing real reporting.

If you want to help, I would love if you signed up for our (free!) newsletters, which routinely get genuinely rave reviews:

It is unbelievably fucking dark that 25 years after 9/11 unleashed a wave of Islamophobia and hate crimes, 15 years after the disgraceful Park51 panic, we are seeing mainstream media actors validate the most disgustingly open bigotry in the public discourse

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Hi @chrissmithnymag and @VanityFair, I cannot believe you published this racist Islamophobic drivel without any pushback. Mamdani was 9 years old on 9/11 and all Muslim Americans are not ‘stand-ins’ for 19 foreign hijackers.

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

Person who would never in a million years be elected mayor makes delusional bigoted demands of the actually elected mayor

[Acyn @Acyn]

Paladino: I'm not asking politely for the mayor not to come to 9/11 ceremony. I am demanding he not show his face at that sacred ground. He does not belong there. We, the people, do not care for Zohran Mamdami

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

This is quite simply gutter bigotry that’s being laundered into the public discourse and every media entity treating it as a reasonable concern should be absolutely ashamed of themselves

[Politics & Poll Tracker 📡 @PollTracker2024]

ABC News: Mayor Mamdani says he'll attend 9/11 ceremony despite growing criticism

Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony Friday despite mounting criticism from some family members of victims and several prominent Republicans who have called on him to stay away.

We broke the record for the biggest mobilizations in American history.

Now we're gonna break the record for the biggest early vote turnout in American history.

LFG

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

No Kings organizers are shifting from protests to nationwide voter turnout events on Oct. 17 to boost early voting. https://t.co/PD6OnCFr6g

[Leah Greenberg says NO KINGS ❌👑 @Leahgreenb]

Overwhelming early vote turnout is an election protection strategy.

Let's go y'all
