Charges have been dropped against SEIU USWW President David Huerta. A win for workers! We won’t stop speaking up to demand justice for all workers, no matter where they were born. We will not be silenced.

I read Hegemony How-To based on @danieldenvir.bsky.social mentioning it a couple months ago on @thedigradio.bsky.social. Enormously useful and practical book, I wish I had read it when I was first getting into organizing.

Don't Just Criticize, Organize: A Review of Hegemony How-To

The point isn't to just criticize the current conditions from the sidelines, the point is to change them.

I do find it fascinating that a ton of my most politically active friends are all Cancers. I think we all share a deep personal anger at injustice and unfairness, which makes us dogged organizers, even if the pain of confronting the world’s sins really gets to us.

It’s my birthday tomorrow, and my birthday always makes me melancholic.

“People are starved for the truth.” We have clear-as-day evidence that our president is an unrepentant pedophile and tens of thousands of people still showed up to his 80th birthday to watch dudes beat each other unconscious in exchange for crypto (a fraudulent currency) on the White House lawn.

Much like with Twitter there is no ethical case for writing for the New York Times.

the US president, with the explicit support of the US legislature and the US supreme court, is stealing billions of dollars in thousands of ways. meanwhile the NYT is on the case of whether, when mamdani paid a thousand dollars for a knicks ticket out of his own pocket, he got a ticket for VIPs

For anyone curious about the results from LA city council district 11, I did my best to thoroughly pull a part what made this such a volatile election. All of LA is worse off with Traci Park serving a second term.

Hard Lessons Learned: An Autopsy of the 2026 City Council District 11 Election

On Tuesday, June 2nd California held a primary election for governor, with several major downballot primary elections also on the table.

If you are mad about how broken LA feels, confused why no one seems to be in charge, and brokenhearted that I lost my election to an anti-housing MAGA funded incumbent, let me direct your energy toward the LA City Charter, which is going through a big rewrite. 🧵cc @fairrepla.bsky.social

(1/2) I want to make clear right now that Spencer Pratt does not deserve any voice or sound bite in my Campaign or in this city that I love. His rhetoric,  platform and Campaign is the antithesis to who I am, who I am fighting for, and what our campaign is all about. I’m running a campaign to

if it saves lives i think it's okay for europeans to invent a slant where they're somehow dunking on americans by installing air conditioners. "you american pigs with your coddled central air systems could never compete with our graceful ductless mini-splits" something along those lines

Btw I thought I Love Boosters was really fun. Very exciting to see a movie that’s absolutely bursting with ideas and images, very endeared by Boots Riley’s Looney Tunes spirit

I‘m in the garage with the door open folding shirts and some broccoli hair cut teen boys just walked by and looked at me and one of them said excitedly “i know what he’s doing” and then to me, excitedly said “dropshipping???”

The thing that makes “gutter racism” an appropriate term for this is that it goes beyond even what segregation’s savviest defenders were willing to say in public 60-70 years ago. They understood that this level of explicit racial animus was embarrassing to the cause.

Someone said this last night, but if you look in the threads about "vibescession" the main thing people are talking about is the constant precarity. So what would happen if one wage-earner in your house got cancer and couldn't work?

zohran mamdani announced a plan to seize properties from bad landlords and private equity if tenents suffer from neglect and i genuinely do not think i’ve seen rightwing circles this mad in reaction to anything i’ve ever seen before lol

They yanked away all social programs and let 800,000 people die of COVID and are shocked people don’t feel great about the state of society or hope for the future

W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Something never discussed in the "vibecession" debate is that the country lived through a huge expansion of the welfare state and then saw all of those programs taken away. It has long been conventional wisdom that taking away social programs leads to huge backlash. Nobody applies that to COVID.

it's so funny to me that spencer pratt's entire campaign is just "fires??????? no fires" as if he can control the weather if he's mayor....... he is stupid and you are stupid if you vote for him.

The Alabama Solution is easily one of the best documentaries I’ve seen in years. This country is barbaric and nothing will be resolved until we undo the horror that is our prison industrial complex.
