See this? This is a case to potentially be concerned about!

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.” Ivy League: “I will eat my poop and thank you for it because I’m scared of a Fox News personality cosplaying as a lawyer”

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Chris Rufo/Ron DeSantis overhauled New College and made it "the most financially inefficient school in the university system" Degree yield is 19%, 2nd-worst in Fla. Operating funds per student at New College: $83,207 Same category at Univ of Florida: $45,765 www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/e...

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.

I legit can’t figure out the play on these FAA flight cancellations. Who’s the White House trying to pressure. And who do they think people are gonna get mad at when Thanksgiving goes down the drain?

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.

I don't know when the switch flipped, but it occurs to me that it's no longer "tax the rich to support the middle class". It's "tax the rich to support all of society" and I couldn't be happier.

It's really too bad Dick Cheney did not live to see this moment.

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Teen Vogue and WIRED are both part of Conde Nast. If they've cut the politics coverage at Teen Vogue... it makes me worried they'll cut Wired as well. I hope not, but...

Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame. n.pr/493YcAm

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom. going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

This one shouldn't get lost tonight.

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Tonight is many things, but it is among other things, vindication for Lindsey, for being brave and speaking up about Cuomo's abuse towards her and other women.

What a beautiful night this has been

Mississippi

this is very funny, but to be earnest for a moment: the same guys setting $10M on fire here are the ones who can’t stand the idea of buses being free, of rent being affordable, of anything at all being easier for all the people for whom $10M would be an unimaginably transformative amount of money

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

billionaires have invested in media not because they support journalism but because they want to control it. there is only downside to a free press for people with that level of wealth. journalism is a great equalizer and they don’t want us to be equal.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

most people haven't gotten their huge health insurance premium hike yet.

If you have two cats, then one is a philosopher and the other is a dumbass

She's a god tier troll

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD. Actually and literally.

The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Soyinka's response is almost worthy of a second Nobel all by itself. (below)

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

personally I take great solace from trying to stick to a “if I die it’ll be with my teeth in their throats” kinda approach to life
