Glad you are including the date on the next round. I’m interested in voter registration efforts to staunch the swing to the GOP in PA.

Glad you are including the date on the next round. I’m interested in voter registration efforts to staunch the swing to the GOP in PA.
I appreciate this effort, truly - but why didn’t you put the election date on the door hanger?
And when I'm in the store, I'm looking around at everyone else trying to send/receive some "THIS IS NOT NORMAL" signal.
That man looks like a cactus.
How many white shirts are ruined by this administration?
Another observation after being out of the country for 7 years: drivers have gotten SO AGGRESSIVE. I got double middle fingers today. Calm down, lady.
Love this outreach.
Thank you for this thread. I’m still in awe of how the science, manufacturing & distribution all came together in that period. Truly remarkable.
Today is the first day of public trading for Trump’s crypto scam.

Nooooooo. Is the Reel still up?
Oh no no nooo
“No, car culture isn’t disappearing anytime soon, but the future is about other, healthier modes of transportation” YES!
The ponder of it all.
Americans rely on public transportation to go to work or school. But @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social is walking from Philly to Harrisburg to protest PA State Republicans slashing SEPTA funds (Philly's mass transportation) and ⬆️ fares. We need to elect Dems to the PA senate so we can stop this nonsense.
That part!
This is a plan for ethnic cleansing. It’s morally horrific and absolutely insane
Thank you for sharing this.
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
Len, what size tshirt are you, for no reason.
May their conscience never allow them a restful night’s sleep.
There’s 0 chance that man says “lo and behold.”
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
Watergate looks like a childish prank.
The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. “We didn’t know” “Nobody told us” “He promised he wouldn’t…” This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.
You spelled ENDANGERING wrong, @nytimes.com. “Pushing the boundaries” is a *positive* frame implying unconventional innovations. There are no innovations here. Just medieval anti-science populist attacks on some of best methods of truth seeking we have.
Clearly & succinctly.
“There has been a change in the understanding that nothing is neutral, and we cannot pretend that we are neutral, and the very fact that we exist is not neutral.”
In make believe world
It's Friday! Your assignment this weekend: Hang out in a bookstore or library. Spend time with the books. Chat with the booksellers & librarians. Enjoy the community. This is activism. Your presence energizes these spaces & these spaces need energy. Have a great weekend!
We’re walking for transit. We’re walking for our families. We’re walking for a government that gives a damn about US!
Fetterman’s number defaults to Toomey’s contact info.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Need the Democratic Party to get it together post haste, bc this country is going to be in tatters by 2028.
I'm not sure Americans have a frame of reference for the sort of gangster government we have now. Any objective functions it performs are an afterthought. The law only used as a tool to punish political enemies and ignored in every other instance
I’m available for writing and editing services.
Back-to-school season is my Jan 1.
Whew
Libraries meet the needs of their communities in so many different and cool ways. This is fantastic!
“Everything else from here on out is just a matter of degree and wondering how bad it will get and how far it will go? Do we end up “merely” like Hungary or do we go all the way toward an “American Reich”?”
I've said this before, but we didn't realize on Election Day that we actually got 2 GOP senators.
Why even bother? It's like the did a quarterly inbox check.
I received 2 emails 5 min apart from Sen Fetterman y'day thanking me for reaching out to his office. The letters were exactly the same and gave 0 details about the topics I might have contacted him about. They also cited the mailing address I haven't used in over a year. I feel so seen and heard!
1. The president is cheating. His tariffs are pushing up the price of everything, which means inflation remains high, which means interest rates remain high. But instead of rethinking a ruinous national sales tax, which is what tariffs are, he’s bullying those who set interest rates.
A “tariff rebate check” is like setting your kitchen on fire and then mailing yourself a bucket of water. There's an easier way to avoid the burn.
Perfect example: “The cabinet event was billed as a celebration of American workers ahead of Labor Day. Yet with a running time of three hours and 15 minutes, it would be considered a wildly inefficient meeting at just about any other workplace.”
Another argument is that they actually agree w what he's doing :/
I'm wondering!
Are the message consultants the democrats use undercover heritage foundations/maga infiltrators?
It's important to understand that he singles out Black women because there are few negative consequences for him when he does. It's his most frictionless lane for bullying. The broader public has shown him few, if any, will step up to defend us, and it's only ramped up since his first term.
He's literally become Don Quixote.
What reporter was allowed to ask such a question?!
"'HOTTEST' Country anywhere in the WORLD" ya say? Let's take a quick peek at those international tourism numbers. www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...
I think I miss Pat Toomey. :/

Truly
Older women are the actual ‘fiscal heroes’ because their lifetimes of unpaid labour enable the whole economy to function—but you’ll never hear this framing from the ideologues because it undermines the fantasy of the sovereign individual.
And Post NL in the Netherlands
👏👏👏
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
The Israeli military assassinated five journalists and at least 19 Palestinians total in two targeted strikes on Nasser Medical Complex this morning.
"many ... wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from 'democracy' to 'authoritarianism.' Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged. Then you wake up one morning and our country is different."
These are fantastic - thanks for your work. I've printed and placed in my little free library in Philly.

This photo will be shown in history books as an example of deep and unabiding cruelty. You can't reform this.
While other outlets dance around it, read the Inquirer for straight language: "fascism is what this president openly campaigned on — 77,303,568 citizens voted for it."
Some News!! For those of you who have been waiting, I will teach Race, Media and International Affairs 101 in the Fall! Enrollment officially opens Monday, August 25th at 10 am EST. Last time, we sold out 500 spots in 48 hours. Don't miss out! karenattiah.substack.com/p/fall-enrol...
I’m so impressed
So selfish and short sighted.
Mamdani seems like the only candidate who actually likes the city he's running for Mayor of. Cuomo, Adams, and Silwa all treat it as some hellhole that theyre going to tame, and Mamdani treats it as a fun place that can still be improved.
I loooooooooove it
Greenland breathes sigh of relief as it turns out Trump has decided on a military occupation of the United States instead.
Institution after institution, created, constructed, designed, funded, maintained, for generations for this exact moment and the cowards at the top, all of whom know damn well what they've got on their hands, did nothing and hoped someone else would bell the cat.
This energy
I’ve been thinking about this woman all day.
Love this!
Something you do when you know there will be 0 consequences.
Fool me 900 times.....
Yeaaa, good for you! Scary, but the only way through.
Here’s mine: I started using Merlin, the bird sound app, and I love it. Look at this amazing day!
Tell me something good/nice happening in your life. Please!
I accidentally bought pj pants with slits a few inches up the leg - have to hoist them up when I use the stairs! Murder pants!
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
That was 4 months ago already?!
love this!
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance. A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.
Thanks for explaining.
Why be on the wrong side of history once when you can do it 2x.
And in every photo, he’s slumped over. False confidence to the core.
@the-independent.com why are you accepting ICE recruitment ads?
You could write a book about this photo. Everything about it is so fucking vulgar.
