We're just as confused as everyone else is about the Brooklyn Democratic Party's endorsement flip-flop today. But it does make the need for new Party leadership clearer than ever. Our full statement:
Trump feuding with Marjorie Taylor Greene but being in love with Zohran Mamdani was not on my November 2025 bingo card
The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a)

i wouldn't trust a Paterson-picked "panel of influential New Yorkers" to tell me where to buy a slice, much less who to vote for
@bradlander.bsky.social said he was at immigration court in NYC today and 8 asylum seekers were taken, not permitted to make their cases under U.S. asylum law. A few hours later in the same court plaza, New Yorkers stood up for those and other #DisappearedinAmerica with @workerscircle.bsky.social.
It is unconscionable that people are being disappeared in our city, in this country. #disappearedinamerica
Lee cheers for Canada 🇨🇦 ❌ 👑@lkc2025.bsky.social · last yr.In NYC, in the shadow of ICE and the federal courts, people stand up for the #DisappearedinAmerica. Others did the same all over the country. Find their images and spread the word. Not in our names. @bkindivisible.bsky.social
Spare a thought for Jessica Ramos, who threw out her principles & alliances for a spot in the Cuomo administration, and today got 0.39% and is watching a likely Mamdani primary win.
This is always who Brad has been, and I hope more people see that after yesterday. He absolutely deserves a spot on your ballot. And don’t rank Cuomo!
Heba Gowayed هبة جويد@hebagowayed.bsky.social · last yr.Brad earned a spot on everyones list. He’d be a fine mayor. I’m ranking Zohran 1 but Brad is my solid 2. Please rank him! AND DONT RANK CUOMO.
@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.
That's because they were a publicity stunt, and no longer useful.
Dr. Tiffany A. Flowers@drtiffanyaflowers.bsky.social · last yr.FYI... "The woman said of the “refugees”: “They were understanding that they would be arriving here for complete assistance. People thought they would be arriving at a house, a job, medical insurance, and other things. It isn’t that way at all." www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/af...
Retribution, revenge, payback. The Andrew Cuomo style of governing. No thanks.
