“It makes no sense that we should be afraid of places where people can get most of what we need, closer by… Just convenient options that don’t need a car every time. It’s just a normal, ‘common sense’ place to live — as most cities used to be, before we mandated car dependency.” @usa.streetsblog.org

When democrats do this it - depresses the base vote - doesn’t attract a single gop/swing vote - validates gop hate rhetoric - pushes young kids towards suicide - is immoral Otherwise it’s a great strategy for lining the politics of shit consultants

UPDATE: They put BooFest on Broad on da teevee! Big thanks to @12onyourside.com for spotlighting our neighborhood's efforts to make our streets safer for trick-or-treaters.

A Palestinian won the Nobel Prize last year

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

More courage than the vast majority of the Virginia Congressional Delegation

This new electoral vídeo from Pedro Sánchez is quite something. Standing in front of Guernica defending the anti-war stance of his government, limiting military expenditure, denouncing the atrocity of Gaza. English subtitles.

Legendary footballer Mesut Özil calls out FIFA for their double standards and hypocrisy for still allowing Israel to compete til this day but having Russia from competing.

I dug into Netanyahu’s decades-old writings & exclusive meetings with DC elites, and found how far he went to make himself the West's foremost "terror" expert — and thus steer America's endless War on Terror. It's a saga that touches everything from Mario Cuomo & H.W. Bush, to Reagan & Iran-Contra.

Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👏👏

Centrists don't want anyone to fight fascism.

I’ve I’ve noticed the descendants of colonizers don’t much know history. I can help fix that for them tough. 🙃

Again I say, the scam economy is consuming the political will to fight authoritarianism.

I appreciated the opportunity to speak with students from across the Commonwealth as a part of the 3rd Annual Virginia Government Simulation. Programs such as these are essential for deepening understanding of government & expanding knowledge to future generations on the power of their voices.

Everything these guys do to avoid the billionaire’s’ tax is going to radicalize people to vote for it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/t...

Israel’s Foreign Ministry attacking Brad Lander - a self-described liberal Zionist - by name, simply for doing protective presence, should be the final sign that the Israeli government would gladly sacrifice every last Jew in Diaspora to dominate more Palestinians with impunity.

“These schools that have raised so much, what would it look like if they took 10% of their budget and put it into a city wide pot that was then redistributed, so that every school had a minimum PTA budget?” www.richmonder.org/email/175b68...

“Three out of four disabled people don’t drive. Stop using us as an excuse for car dependency.” — Anna Zivarts @nondriver.bsky.social in collaboration with The Urban Truth Collective. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices. #UrbanTruth

Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians, paid for by American taxpayers. As Israeli airstrikes continue to kill children and families in Gaza, half a million Palestinians are set to lose access to food and assistance.
