raffi: regime change in America

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Living between the abject horror of state violence and the sweetness of the solidarity we are all building to face said violence—canvassing our neighborhoods with KYR literature, migra watch shifts, signal chats full of love and outrage. Thank God for everyone stepping up to meet this moment.

Infuriating morning. Never buy a car

It’s a big tent 🤷🏼

My parents are letting me hang a pride flag in their front lawn as long as it’s got the UW Madison W on it

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Last day of work at my current job, which I’ve genuinely enjoyed so much 😭 before my first day at my next job, which is the career I’ve been striving for for 1.5 years!!! 🥰

i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not

Newsom vs Trump is the sociopath vs sociopath throwdown this year deserved

How in god’s name do I go about buying a used car

I am really really really really !!! excited to introduce myself as SEIU Wisconsin’s newest union organizer!!

PETER THIEL: we want to kill everyone. we want slaves. we will scour the earth until nothing can grow

THE NEWS: thats his beliefs and we respect that

Really wish all this fascism wasn't happening so we could focus on the Katy Perry/Justin Trudeau thing more

Tired of how stupid this iteration of the Nazi hell state is. What do you mean you can Venmo the US treasury

I bet it feels fantastic to be a bumblebee and dive headfirst into a pollen-filled flower

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is dictatorship.

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

what the fuck

The coalition between the populist left (represented by Mamdani) and progressive liberals (represented by Lander) shows the path towards electoral success for the left.

It's a path which can be replicated by other candidates (like AOC in a presidential primary). Each bloc is necessary to victory.

We're in such a weird position right now where members of the business community are now thinking that they're gonna throw their weight behind Adams again. What do you think of that? [Lander laughs for about five seconds. Catches breath.]

Mamdani was notionally proposing free bus service and municipal grocery stores, but the people who howled about the damage free buses would do to the MTA budget or the dangers of communist produce missed the point. What Mamdani was running on was the idea of a mayor who would be willing to try making the buses free or setting up new grocery stores, to see if those policies made life in the city cheaper and easier. He was offering to make things different.

i think this is a good point from @tomscocca.bsky.social not just about this election but also what people are hungering for everywhere rn

I just realized this means New Yorkers are about to get The Swing State Treatment for the first time in their lives - and on the one hand it’s really messed up that this is going to happen, and on the other it’s going to be really funny for everyone who regularly votes in a swing state

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Impromptu presser outside 26 Federal Plaza as elected officials gather, calling for Lander's release.
