DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

The contrast between the marked disregard for these women and the loud campaigning for more white babies is gross. “ICE recorded 18 miscarriages during the first nine months of the Trump administration, the documents show, but the agency has no data on miscarriages after 3 October 2025.”

Republicans know that too, but they also know this is something they can make Dems flinch and equivocate about, which makes them look overall weak and indecisive. They did it with immigration last cycle, they did it with gay marriage 20 years ago. The only way to win is to tell them to eat shit

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Susan Collins wasn't afraid to use her power when Obama was POTUS. E.g. she signed a letter with her GOP pals saying she'd block EVERYTHING unless tax cuts for the rich got extended. She voted to block nominees over unrelated matters. But with Trump in charge all that's off the table. #MEpolitics

too expensive to make food safe they say. gotta get rid of all the scientists who study parasites and relocate the lab including transporting all the dangerous pathogens 🫠 www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
screenshot of article text:
The Trump administration has said that BARC, a 6,500-acre complex where researchers study nutrition, animal health and food safety, is too expensive to keep open. USDA officials have also said that the goal of the reorganization is to move the department's employees closer to the people they serve, and that research, like that in the labs that conduct cyclospora research, will be uninterrupted.
A USDA spokesperson blamed Congress for the funding cuts, and said, "None of the research has been disrupted, and research will continue without disruption."
