lol, going to Roy Cohn’s birthday party? not great going to Roy Cohn’s birthday party *in 1979*? lol lmao

the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

Never knew this, but it makes a lot of things even clearer.

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

there is no opposition party. there is only a ruling class.

Bad moves appear to be Chuck Schumer's modus operandi.

the fact that he's old enough to have been an adult to party at studio 54.... I am 30 years old and my MOTHER was not even old enough to party at studio 54 when it was still open........ bro

watching my Obamacare premiums go from $422/month to $1455/month on the Senate floor right now.

He was cavorting with Roy Cohn. I'm not surprised.

hi there. yes,schumer knew roy cohn was trump’s attorney in 1979 bc cohn represented trump in several high profile cases covered in the Times in the early 1970s. cohn also helped lead the infamous McCarthy hearings & led govt witch hunts against gay ppl even tho he himself was gay. hope this helps!🫡

Julius Caesar crossing the rubicon with the 10th legion:

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Close Encounters of the Deer Kind Took nearly a year of daily encounters for them to get this close. I love how the two does mirror each other.

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I think Senate folders are significantly underestimating how fucking angry Democratic voters are at them

This right here.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

"The guest list? “If you’re indicted, you’re invited,” went the comedian Joey Adams’s oft-repeated joke about Cohn’s soirées." web.archive.org/web/20181115...

all of these Democratic senators putting out statements, ‘i swear i voted NO!’ IT👏DOES👏NOT👏MATTER👏 if you can’t hold your coalition together after one of the biggest electoral sweeps, you’re not a real political party—and why would your opponents (or allies) ever take you seriously again?

apropos of nothing, here’s a photo of a young chuck schumer attending trump lawyer & confidante (& joe mccarthy associate) roy cohn’s birthday party at studio 54, in 1979

so, after an electoral victory on Tuesday AND Republicans holding food for starving ppl hostage, Democrats are caving on keeping healthcare & ACA for millions of Americans..?? because what is a “promised vote on ACA”? is that a pinky promise?? bc Senate Republicans are famous for keeping those…

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

this has happened to me & so many other women. so let’s talk about how men are ruining the workplace…🤔 #nytimes

me heading out to ruin a workplace🫡 #nytimes

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

This is references “class warfare” and “Generalissimo Zohran Mamdani” and only gets more bananas from there. The new editorial page is… really something. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Hey racists - is Zohran a liberal or a jihadist? He can't be both. Get back to me when you learn what words mean.

Seafood spread and ice sculpture at Mar-a-Lago as Trump continues to starve poor children

lmao

[Goose meme] Ruin the workplace for who RUIN THE WORKPLACE FOR WHO, MOTHERFUCKER????

A woman ruined my workplace By Caravaggio (c. 1602)

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Did the New York Times ruin journalism?

Did Knee-Jerk Contrarianism Ruin the New York Times?

so to recap: -Conde Nast does blatantly illegal purge of trans, black, politely staff at Teen Vogue -4 other CN staffers voice concerns to HR -CN illegally fires them and complains to NLRB that management was being "intimidated"

Two of the media organizations that have really "met the moment" in national coverage are Teen Vogue and WIRED. Along with student-run college newspapers in general. And scores of local start-ups. The main hope for journalism (in its dark times) is the next wave of journalists.

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

Conde Nast hates its workers more than any company I've ever worked for

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section. www.thecut.com/article/teen...

Add Conde Nast to the media companies that are bending the knee in this midst of our slide into authoritarianism. Shameful.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Imagine if people had listened to @erinoverbey.bsky.social

Wait, the director of the terrific film Mississippi Masala is Mamdani’s mom?

🚨BREAKING🚨 election 2025🗳️💅

LINA KHAN is on Mamdani’s transition team???????? LET’S GOOOOOO

Three films in the Criterion collection! Three! Boom!

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.
