Piker: Every single dollar that is spent on a bomb is stolen from each of you because that’s a dollar that they spend blowing up a school overseas instead of building schools in your neighborhood.
The person delivering your Grubhub order may not have actually been working for Grubhub.
Streetsblog found that Grubhub subcontracted to another app called Relay to skirt paying NYC's delivery minimum wage to those workers.
Here's @sophlebo with more:
we are going to "it's ok to let people enjoy things" into absolute societal & environmental ruin. "it's ok to let people enjoy things" is for the so called cringy stuff & the nerdy hobbies, not for endless shein/temu hauls & chatgpt usage
Important to remember that this victory belongs 100% - literally one hundred percent - to the people of Minneapolis. Elected Dems did essentially nothing to bring this about. Our political leadership is dogshit. Everyday Americans, on the other hand, can really do amazing things.
they are actively taking down videos of jd vance getting booed i don’t wanna hear yall say shit about chinese or north korean censorship ever again 😭😭😭
Jon Stewart on the ICE murder of Alex Pretti: “They’re lying. We saw it. That’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them. Maybe that explains why Alex Pretti really was a threat. Because he was brandishing a weapon. A handheld, aluminum, 1080p, 60fps weapon of mass illumination. Because there is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth”
A rapidly growing coalition is launching a general strike this Friday in Minnesota, aimed at pushing out ICE.
The coalition includes:
- The Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005
- SEIU Local 26
- UNITE HERE Local 17
- CWA Local 7250
- The Saint Paul Federation of Educators
- The Minneapolis Federation of Educators
- The Minnesota AFL-CIO
- The Sunrise Movement
- Faith leaders
And more. Thread.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
We’re barely six months away from people dismissing @ZohranKMamdani for running on universal childcare.

New York just got a lot more liveable for thousands of families.
