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

The millionaires and billionaires do not want to pay any taxes. Zero taxes. They also want the middle and lower classes to act as a herd, available for labor and resources used in keeping the millionaires and billionaires wealthy. And in power and in control.

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America" Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

I have never in my life heard a better reason to vote for a Dem candidate in my whole fucking 68 years.

This aged like fine wine, perfect to have with a sandwich

Explain a film plot badly: local wildlife is affected by chemical intrusion causing a rise in pizza sales.

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

Hopefully, the lesson the Dems learn from Trump is that doing a big thing without worrying about what the opposition thinks is the way to go.

I think it’s quite risky to hedge our entire economy on a technology that is built entirely on stolen data.

Just so y’all know how rough it is for the working poor: a QUARTER of my annual gross income will be dedicated to health insurance next year. I make about $42k, gross. My monthly payment went from approximately $200 to $500, deductible went from $2k to $5k.

i don't think its expressed enough that we don't really have *a* government anymore. nationally policy is being directed and created by like roughly half a dozen factions (and maybe like 50 to 100 total individuals) on a totally incomprehensible and erratic basis

Something I really love about the rise of AOC and Mamdani is a decisive turn away from the leftist stance of "If you're not persuaded by my arguments it's because you're evil and not because I'm terrible at organizing"

What the actual fuck?

People are happy to build huge monuments for imagined gods, but fail to build even simple houses for the poor. Doesn’t that contradict the moral ideals most religions claim to uphold, such as compassion, charity, humility?

Oh yeah, this is Trump’s fleeing to Argentina money

That is just a massive ass. Four palms wide.

I’m sure flights being delayed during a stressful family holiday won’t turn into riots at all.

Dear Voters, You’re allowed to criticize the party you vote for. In fact, it helps improve the party. Critique is essential to learning & growth. You don’t want everyone to be dumbed down, do you? Bc that’s what the parties want. Mindless followers. Don’t let them have it. DEMAND more. Love, Me

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

Don't miss Jeanine Pirro promising Sean Dunn would be sorry in August. youtu.be/6NR1K2drXk8?...

The wealthy who enabled this need to be held to account.

The ultra rich cashed out on our division and suffering. Its time for us to take that money back, with interest.

Woohoo! We can throw sandwiches at fascists!

I’ve been traveling in good’ol’boi territories of NC recently, & it will always boggle my brain to see decrepit old motor homes flying the newest/ugliest Shitler flag. I want to knock on their door & ask HOW these redFuckers have improved their lives. I don’t need a list; just one good example.

They're driving off with toddlers in LA. They're raiding daycare centers in Chicago. These chodes wouldn't stand a chance against actual criminals and gang members. ¡Chinga Migra!

The last supper?

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

Trump ignoring poor people starving

holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

Text from a friend:

Every time Republicans are in power they destroy the economy. Every. Fucking. Time.

I’m 47. In my lifetime we have had at least 3 major economic contraction/recessions under Republican presidents. Reagan/Bush, Bush II, and Trump. It keeps happening. Layoffs rise to recession-like levels through October, new report says www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

President Trump is willing to stretch and bend the law to implement sky-high tariffs that have hiked up prices for American families. But he refuses to use the authority two federal courts have said he has to fully pay out November SNAP benefits.

Trump has been extorting companies for a govt stake in their companies I remind you that controlling the means of production is communism. Trump is a fascist who employs communism when it enriches him.

This is going to be a shitshow, so we need to remind each other to be patient and kind. TSA has been working without pay. 📌 The FAA announced major restrictions that experts say could lead to thousands of flights being canceled as the government shutdown drags into day 37.

The only way to make America better than ever is to redesign the whole federal system making Oppression of any kind illegal. The dismantling in the 80s can be attributed to the legalization of lobbying in the 70s. Regardless the Cult was born(ime)in the 50s when we changed our motto.

Two ideas defined the 1930s. Fascism on the right and Roosevelt's New Deal on the left. The only one to survive was Roosevelt's – until "trickle-downers" started dismantling it in the 1980s. Roosevelt's New Deal is worth cheching out, as it seems to be what folk are looking for again. #NeoRoosevelts

Who could have ever guessed, other than all of us who said this would happen?

INBOX: MSNBC beat Fox News in primetime last night in both the demo and total viewers for election coverage. It was the first time MSNBC beat Fox News in both metrics since August 2024, which was during the DNC. MSNBC averaged 3.04 million viewers to Fox's 2.85 million.

Federal workers—including furloughed workers—are entitled to backpay after the shutdown ends. That is the LAW. Trump and his administration of crooks saying anything otherwise are LYING to try and scare and intimidate federal workers.

I think this is America’s way of asking for the Epstein files to be released.

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks. Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire. The moral of the story is this: If you ask for affordable healthcare & food, you’re a mooch. If you ask for billions, you’re an entrepreneur.

Trump raised taxes on everyone but the wealthy. He did it with tariffs. It is the largest tax increase on Americans without representation enacted since the Revolutionary War.

TARIFFS ARE TAXES

If you’re going to push phony Trump posts, at least let people know it’s a parody.

I’m really hoping sandwich guy gets found not guilty so we all can start hucking sandwiches at fascists
