Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless
Live long enough in NYC and you begin to realize that success is just 45% gumption, 45% luck, and maybe 10% talent. This tracks.
And therapy isn’t magic. Please stop telling men to go to therapy who have no intention of making any changes and just want another woman to validate them
The one positive of 2025 is that more and more people are waking up to the fact that we are ruled by maladjusted and venal morons whose only real qualifications are getting in at the right time and then being ruthless servants of power
Trump has told many stories about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The documents tell another story. This thread compares what Trump said to what the record shows. Each section cites reporting, filings, and the newly released emails.
gotta say this whole business about ‘electing a muslim mayor is basically pissing on the graves of 9/11 victims’ is just…just shockingly racist stuff i mean what else is there to say about it
The Dimitri finds out meme, which is a two panel vertical meme of a guy being interviewed by a lady. The caption reads "The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing." The second caption reads "There is much pain in the world, but not in this room."

As a libertarian socialist who is just old enough to have voted for Obama in '08, I have a lot of trepidation about Mamdani. But it is an unequivocal joy to watch people remember that better things are possible, and I hope we continue to channel that energy in our communities regardless of outcome
aloof wife / mayor husband is the new black cat girlfriend / golden retriever boyfriend it has been decreed
The gutting of Teen Vogue, a publication which dared to treat its readers seriously and with respect, is an especially dispiriting day in old media's long, self-destructive forced march to nowhere
No way to predict this
sean just said ‘i think if you’re going bald you just have to embrace it. you can’t be combing your hair in increasingly arcane, non-euclidean ways to hide it’
Trump just said that being “AntiTrump” is “probably illegal.”
We are in the midst of an authoritarian attempting to seize power.
He will not win. We will not be ruled.
everything else notwithstanding this party also looks extremely unfun lol
Al Sharpton introducing Mamdani, w/ mentioning Cuomo by name says, "it's saturday before election day only one candidate showed up," goes onto rail "the ugly islamophobia," in the final days of the race, "if you can't get a vote on your record, don't play us against each other."
There are no national media outlets in Durango, CO - 8 hours from Denver - like there are in Chicago or LA. Grateful to have local journalists + the Durango Herald covering the latest ICE thuggery.
Excited for 2028 when some state SoS kicks Trump off the ballot, Federal district and appellate judges uphold it and then SCOTUS issues an unsigned 6-3 shadow docket rulling staying the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to stay on the ballot and schedules arguments for the case for February 2029.
It’s about to be Take Bread O’Clock
Gov. Hochul is at a Harlem food pantry, flanked by Rev. Al Sharpton, other clergy and local lawmakers, to once again decry the planned shut off of SNAP benefits on Saturday l. "I'm looking at the whole scale of this," she says. "This is all bad."
It’s not a new type of voter; voters are just looking for authenticity and conviction more than anything else right now!
Just thinking about the paradox at the heart of fascism, which requires you believe the enemies list for this all-powerful hypermasculine regime includes a transgender teenager who likes to swim, an undocumented Haitian woman who cleans hotels and a chronically ill old man who sleeps on the subway
it makes me sad that this movie has already been sort of filed away as a flop because he’s genuinely great in it and i want to see him in more dramatic roles
thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead
Yes! I just got out of it and it was fantastic.
Whenever anarchism — or any idea more radical than the status quo — gets dismissed as unserious, it's worth remembering the current system runs on things like "we put all the money on a scam machine that tells rich dipshits they're god."
